This is my first finished for 2011! Well almost, I need to finish hand sewing the binding.
I did a little hand embroidery on this one. It's a Valentine table runner which will soon find it's way to the shop. This was made with some of the many fabrics I bought for the Pink swap.
Now for the giveaway! For my 1 year blog anniversary I've chosen 5 fat quarters of Pillow and Maxfield's Pretty Bird fabric.

Ooooohhh love the table runner! It's so pretty. All that pinkness going on soothes my boys only momminess! LOL
First finish? Eeks. Ask on another day. Today I would have finished cutting out fabric for the IMQG block for January that's mine. Instead, I'm catching my first bug of the year!
I am already a faithful follower!
Happy Anniversary!
First finish will be a baby quilt that's 3 months overdue...but it's hand-quilted, which is why it's taking so long...

Love the Valentine Runner. Too cute!
My first finish will be Mr. P's Loungin' Around Quilt. (I think) Hopefully before the end of January. If I can tear myself away from those Dresden blocks I've been making...
Oooh and I follow you and I'd love to be in with a chance at winning some fabric since Im on self enforced rations this year.
My first couple of finishes for 2011 have been block swap blocks. I hope to complete a quilt that has been waiting to be quilted since August some time real soo.
I am a regular follower. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
I'm pretty sure my first finish will be with my double hourglass blocks, but I'm still debating whether I want to bulk it up into a lap quilt or make them into a wall hanging, and if so, whether or not I want it to be one piece or multiple coordinating art pieces. So many options! Happy anniversary!
follower on google reader too
My first finish: hmm..I just signed up for psiquilt's postage stamp quilt, and she says something about posting finished quilt by Feb 1st! Oh my, I'm not sure I'm that fast, but that's what I'll put on my list as the first finish.

Many congratulations on your blog anniversary! I just discovered blogging in 2010 and absolutely love meeting all the quilters out there. Your giveaway is most generous. Thanks!
First finish for 2011 WILL be a baby quilt made from bright, boy colored, polka dots (and Kona solids). This is for the much anticipated arrival of my first great nephew! Happy quilting.
What a lovely finish - I particularly like the embroidery detailing. So, my first finish for 2011 will be my GGG quilt that was supposed to be finished for Christmas (argh!) so I'm not going to count that. I think my first finish will be my son's Boys Will Be Boys quilt - I need to get it on his bed before it gets warm outside.
And you probably already know this, but I am a follower!
gorgeous colors in those FQ's! My first finish - either my wallhanging or daughter's quilt... time will tell...

Adorable table runner! My first finish for 2011 was a crocheted scarf. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

My first finish for the year was a mug rug - a late Christmas present which I finished on the 3rd. Thanks for a chance to win this great fabric.
My first finish for 2011 will be a lap-sized calendar quilt for my daughter's birthday in March. I'm almost finished with all the paper-pieced blocks and will be putting the sashing on soon. Then it will be ready to be framed, sandwiched and finished. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
I am hoping it will be a college wallet for my daughter. But so far, I have not been able to get into my sewing room.
Great giveaway! Please count me in! My first finish for 2011 was a baby quilt.

Congratulations! (on the anniversary AND the first finish!) My first finish of the year had better be the blog post I've been working on for a week ;) Seriously, though, it will be the potholders I promised my Dad for Christmas -- I haven't had a day at home to sew since the holidays started!
Congratulations! My first finish for 2011 will be a calendar quilt. You know the ones that hang on the wall???? Well, my daughter wants one, but she wanted it lap sized. So I had to enlarge all the blocks and have finished the blocks, but need to add the embellishments (snowman arms, pumpkin stem, etc). My daughter is VERY peculiar and has to approve each step of the process. Her birthday is in March, so hopefully we'll be finished by then. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
my first finish of the year will be my fiance's zelda quilt, it's been wip since almost a year ago! thanks so much for the giveaway!

First finish of 2011 is a lap quilt I started when pregnant with my first-born...17 years ago! The top has been done for ages-- finally quilted! Now just working on the binding... finish line in sight!
