The Great Stocking Giveaway of 2010

I'm late!  Sorry, but I had my quilt club tonight, and it lasted later than normal because we had goodies to eat, and a lot more Show and Tell items than usual.  Something to do with Christmas?

One of my Show and Tell items was this stocking.  In a week, this will be on it's way to one of you, my lovely readers.  It comes with a coordinating mug rug, and a few other little surprises.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  Please tell me what one word would sum up your life in 2010.  I'm working on a journaling project for December, and this is our first assignment.  I've chosen my word, what's yours?  Please feel free to blog about this giveaway!  The more the merrier, and international entries are most welcome.

I'm a day late with my Secret Santa Swap.  I put the finishing stitches in the binding while I was at my meeting.  It will be in the mail tomorrow.  Sorry partner.


Off to cruise blogland!  Live life with an attitude of gratitude!!      Sunny

  10. The table runner is beautiful. I guess my one word for the year would be survive.


    (please don't include me in the give away)

  11. My one word is "Joy". We had some pretty hard times this year but instead of just focusing on the bad, I count it ALL Joy, as this is a way for us to look to God for answers and for blessings later on. (Great question - it's nice to think about those things.) Sunny, great job on the tablerunner! And the stocking it really pretty! Very Victorian.

  12. The word that sums it up for me in 2010 would be happy. I retired last year and have spent most of my time quilting. So these days, I'm always happy. Thanks for the great giveaway. The stocking is beautiful.

  13. My one word to describe 2010 would be "rewarding". It has been a great year for me. I've really found myself this year. What a great feeling! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

  14. Beautiful stocking, my one word would be unique. It has been a hard and strange year.

  16. My word for the year would be Love! It's been exactly a year since I met my husband. We fell in love, got married and are working on the happily ever after part. I feel like I found the person I was truly meant for. We are certainly a perfect match.

    Anyway, I could go on and on...I love that table runner you made. It's so christmasy without being in-your-face Christmasy, you know what I mean? I love how the flying geese look like little christmas trees.

    thanks for the giveaway chance! That stocking is beautiful.

  17. I'm new around here...someplace I found out about the Stocking Giveaways.I'm so glad I did! Thanks so much for the chance. My word (unfortunately) would be Stressful. So many rough things going on, major surgery and recuperation time this summer, an anniversary trip to refresh me, and I'm trying to be joyful through everything that's happened this year. I'm looking forward to family time this Christmas.

  18. Hi Sunny--my one word would have to be--loss--as I had too many close friends pass away this year--some from illness--some from sudden accidents--but I still miss each and every one of them!!!
    My second word would be a positive one though--gain--I have gained many new friends from blogging and have gained some new "toys" to play with---soooo!!!
    Thanks for you comments--
    Hugs, Di and miss gracie

  20. Thanks for the chance to enter your awesome giveaway! The stocking and stuffers are so pretty. Everyone needs a little bit of pretty. I'm enjoying visiting "new to me" blogs and seeing the great projects. One word for my year of 2010 - pain. My word for 2011 - optimism. Thanks.

  28. Sunny, that quilt is just gorgeous. My year's word is 'DOMINOES'. We have realised that God has been setting up the dominoes of our life for two years, and just at the perfect time, He gave them a push, and there has been an incredible chain reaction of blessing.

  30. Your table runner is great! My word for the year is "continue." I need to continue to take one step at a time and continue to move forward!

  31. "Productive"! I've made almost 30 quilts this year...yes, lots of small charity quilts and wall hangings, and no big bed-sized. But I can really churn out the throw quilts. After all this quilting, I would LOVE to be the recipient of your sweet homemade stocking, rug, etc. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the fabric you have used in your stocking & mug rug.
    My word for this year would be "managed".
    I managed to get my garden built this year and get a lot of canning done. I managed to get a few quilts finished. I managed to get my thyroid problem under control. I'm sure there are even more.
    Lucky swap partner, the runner is really pretty.

  36. My word would be "up and down". Oh no, that's 3 words. I know, 2010 was "up-and-down". Down cos we started the year thinking my DH had pancreatic cancer, up cos he didn't. Down cos he had a major operation, up cos I have a book being published. Roll on 2011. Thanks for the chance to win a giveaway.
