Yes, I win a lot of items. That's why I have so many of the new notions and books. Most I win is from Facebook notices of the blog give aways and give aways on Facebook. This last few months I've won the Quiltmaker 100 Block magazine volume 5, a packs of Tonga Batiks, a fat quarter tower, four patterns, a package of 15 spools of wool thread, a quilt kit of General's Wives pattern (score!), the Clearly Perfect Angle sew guide that goes on the sewing machine bed, and a signed quilt book that hasn't come yet, I forgot the name of it. A five spool set of Aurifil thread came in today's mail from a blog give away. It's so easy to enter them, no hassle at all.
Blog and Facebook giveaways are great. I have one Facebook account just for quilt shops, blogs, manufacturers, etc. Likes. I haven't won a big one yet: LA machine or quilting trip but I will eventually!
I use to post the give away links here every week but the moderator told me not to do that again.
