Thanks for playing!
One of the techniques that I learned at the Melrose Inn was ... Spiral Waltz.
And now for the good stuff ... on our way to the Melrose Inn, Donna and I stopped at the Gingher Factory. And - these scissors just might find their way to YOUR house! Yes folks ... finally a giveaway from me to you! I've been blogging for a year and it's time to give back.
Want them? It's not hard and complicated ... just leave me a comment. I'm keeping it simple. You don't have to be a follower (but that's always nice). You don't have to blog about it (but sharing is good). Make sure I have a way to contact you. If your comment comes in "noreply" you either need to change your settings on YOUR blog or leave me an e-mail.
I'm leaving this post up until Monday morning. I'll let you know who the lucky winner is next week. GOOD LUCK!
AND ... because I really love you ... click on the scarecrow and he'll take you to a list of over 100 bloggers who are feeling the need to give stuff away this weekend. Join the fun, visit blogs and win stuff!

I love your table runner! It looks amazing!
Beautiful table runner. Very impressive looking! I guess I was here the other day because I commented on your Fantastic Getaway at Melrose Inn! I'd love a chance for the scissors, thank you!
Want... Ginghers... drool! Seriously, I love Ginghers, and I need a pair this size! Thanks for the giveaway!
Ginghers are awesome! I'm left handed and once upon a time I bought a pair of Ginghers left handed scissors. Do you know, I could not make them work for me? I guess having grown up using right-handed scissors, the switch to a leftie pair was too late in life. So even though a leftie, I use the rightie scissors. Strange, but true :^)
Oh, I could use these....you should see what I am using!! You have a wonderful blog, I enjoyed my visit!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Goodness, that is a generous gift! Count me in please.

Your Spiral Waltz is gorgeous! I think I will try my hand at that! I need to take more classes but always think I don't have the time. I wish I lived next door to a quilt shop!
I use Gingher and only Gingher and I would love to add those to my scissor drawer! Please sign me up!
Your quilted runner is lovely. I would love to visit a scissors factory and I would love to win the scissors! Thanks for the chance.
Your tablerunner is amazing...great job! I was just thinking I needed another pair of scissors, I'd love to win these! :)
I really need those scissors, mine left the sewing room and just haven't come back yet, guess they are on a long vacation, but I miss them, they might have eloped with the pincushion as it is missing to..Soo I really need replacements...Please enter my name in your lovely drawing.
i can always use scissors! my kids steal mine to cut paper for school all the time! love that waltz pattern. beautiful work

Oh, gosh, that runner looks complicated, but well worth the challenge. I bet having good scissors would help. I use the ones from the dollar store and replace them every other month or so. Don't know how I'd act with a GOOD pair, but I'd love to give it a try! :)
Your runner is beautiful. It looks complicated. I could use those new scissors. Thanks for a chance to win.
That is an interesting pattern...and I was trying to figure it out. :-) I already been following ya...I'll speak up today. :-)
My very fabulous Mother In Law told me about Ginghers when I started sewing. She has had her pair for forty years or some crazy amount of time. I'm saving up. Beautiful quilting.
This is a fabulous giveaway! THanks so much! Love your table runner...gorgeous.
Hi there, I'm a new follower. I love your happy attitude! I am looking for a good pair of scissors. What a great giveaway! Thanks!
I have heard of Gingher scissors but never have owned a pair. What a terrific gift for your winner.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful scissors.
I love your spiral tablerunner- I have made a few bargello quilts- They are really fun to make.
Hope you have visited some of the other blogs on your blog hop.

gingher scissors are the best! thanks for a chance to win
Love your table runner and I can always use a new pair of scissors!
That runner is fascinating...I'm thinking it's sort of a bargello-type technique. Anyway...I read about your giveaway on Dawn's blog and knew I had to rush over. I have a couple of pairs of fabric scissors but they are cheap ones and are NO good...it was embarrassing when sewing friend tried to use them the other day. SO......I really hope I win your giveaway. I did just sign on as a follower, too!
What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for the chance! And I love your table runner...
Oh, how I need new scissors! Mine have a big "dull" spot in the middle from where hubby decided to use them to cut something...he won't tell me what! :) We tried having them sharpened, but they don't stay sharp long. Thanks for the chance to win these!

Great giveaway!!!!!! I went to quilting last week and a dear quilter I'll call Barb, was using the worst of the worst pair of scissors....you know the ones that wouldn't cut butter. I have a pair of Gingers already and if I'm the lucky winner......I just might have to part with them.....it will be hard.....but Barb sure does need a new pair......Hope your giveaway finds it's way to my house and I can put a smile on Barb's face. She would be thrilled........Thanks for the chance.
