One Day Giveaway

As promised, the "One Day" is back.  Do you know what a "One Day" is?  Find out below....

I purchased this  6 1/2" Triangle Square Up Ruler by Quilt in a Day from Fat Quarter Shop (FQS), my favorite on-line quilting fabric shop. 

 

A "One Day" is a giveaway.  

I'm not one that cares for "several ways" to enter a giveaway.  Honestly, when that happens, for example - "a chance to enter IF you follow me on Twitter", how many people really follow through?  I admit, I don't even have a Twitter account so I couldn't enter anyways.

"One Day" simply means anyone that comments on this post before I turn  on my computer the next day is entered into the giveaway drawing.  I have someone in the family pic a number from the comments and I announce the winner in just "One Day".  As soon as I turn on my computer the next morning I post the winner's name. 

So for the return of the "One Day" I am offering a new, in the package, Quilt in a Day ruler.  What's a girl to do when she has two anyways?  LOL

Thank you for participating.

UPDATE:  Never got to have that Mai Tai(s). Weather got bad so hubby and I ended up at a small local diner for BBQ and then headed to Costco.  It was my kind of date night.  LOL

Hugs
Cindy

Sorry about the lack of Mai Tais, but Costco is almost as good...right?????

carla said...

Hi!!! Sounds like fun!!! Thank You

Kaaren said...

This is going to sound very cliche-ish, CIndy, but that's one ruler I've always wanted but have never purchased. And I don't have an excuse as to why other than my memory isn't the greatest at the best of time and I'm so easily distracted.

If we lived closer, we could share a mai tai tonight...or tomorrow...or...whenever!

Have a super day, my friend.

Thanks for the chance to win this ruler Cindy. It's one that I don't have.

I thought a trip to any noisy crowded big store WaS a date, we had one to Costco last night ourselves, lol! This is a great one day giveaway, I have a better chance at success using Elinor's rulers, it seems!
:-}pokey

What - no Mai Tai? Oh well, there's always next weekend. thanks for a chance to win.

Joyful Quilter said...

Your "one days" are always wonderful. Have a great day.

SewCalGal said...

Well, I guess you could pretend you were in Hawaii when the shower came down???? Or would that be too much of a stretch (to pretend). Hopefully you'll find another date opportunity for Mai Tai's.

I have this ruler. It is very handy.

I could use that ruler! I'm always struggling to see the correct "line up" lines on my regular rulers. didn't even know they made one just for squaring up :)

Wonderful one day Cindy! I can't believe I don't have this ruler! But, honestly, I don't have very many; my 6 x 12 is my workhorse. Sounds like you had a lovely date night. Have a happy day!

I would love to be entered into the drawing for this giveaway. We always need new rulers! Sounds like a great date night to me too. Sometimes the best dates are ones that are impromptu.
