(Edit: Comments are now closed)YESSSS I got to do a guest post over on Stash Manicure! Hop on over and see what the buzz is all about. I had the opportunity to share my 365 Day Challenge quilt. It was a daunting task but I am so glad I did it. Lots of fun. I won't spoil it by re-writing about it here, so you must go to Stash Manicure and read it.
I said I had a giveaway now didn't I? OK here's the dealio. It is for a Moda Bella Neutral Basics Layer Cake that is up for grabs, so you will have a great start to your own 365 Day quilt.
This is what you need to do for a chance to win, you must do all of them.

I loved the blog on Stash Manicure - thank you for sharing.
I follow you and what an interesting thing to do:) Haven't heard about it up until now.

Loved your post over at Stash Manicure. I am a follower of them and have signed up to follow you and your wonderful blog. Like I said at Stash Manicure, it's a great way to track a year, and I think a pieced back would be a fun reversable quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!
Okay, I left a comment on Stash Manicure after reading your lovely post this morning. It is a very interesting idea.
I read Stash Manicure and follow her and now you every day. Your quilt is amazing and I did post to Stash also. Thank you for the opportunity. What a blessing you are to the kids to leave your legacy in writing.

That is one of the most unique quilt tops I have seen! What a terrific idea to get your thoughts out and on fabric of all things!! I wonder how well it washes though?
Thinking of making one when my hubby is deployed later this year in the summer with my 3 yr old son:)
I left a comment on Stash Manicure giving you some love:)
Maybe I could commit to writing once a week? Of course, I have a blog I haven't written on in three months so maybe once a week is aiming too high for me! I so admire your dedication!
Should have been following Stash Manicure awhile ago!! Now I am though;)
This is so cool! Can't wait! I'm a follower of both blogs and have commented on both. Hope I win the giveaway as both my sister and I are starting this July 1st! Thank you for sharing!
I won't be in the draw because I don't do the follower thing, but wanted to let you know how much I loved seeing your finished 365. I am happy to see this project in blogland since it inspires me to finish my own. I didn't make it for the full year, but it was fun and is a great diary of a year in the life of my growing family.
Good morning, Mama Sparks, I have just left a comment on Stash Manicure and was so excited to read your posting this morning - it is very interesting.
Nice to be introduced to your blog as well and it looks like there is a lot here to keep my interesting, so consider me a new follower!

This is a great post and a big challenge! Very interesting idea and I might give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hello!! I have Stash Manicure in my blog reader and read it every day. I love the idea of the journal quilt and I want to do one. Since the new year is past, I think that I will start on my birthday in June!
I've been a follower of Stash Manicure for quite a while now, and have signed up to follow yours. I am seriously considering doing the 365 day quilt --- may start it on Feb. 17 --- our 43rd. anniversary. Imagine my surprise, when I saw you attend the AAQG meeting --- I live in Lansing --- guess what team I root for?! I'm looking forward to continuing to read the more local quilting news.

I love the idea of a journal quilt, but the year is already into the first month. I would love a weekly journal as I forget days - lol! Then added little stitcheries could fill in with inspirational fabrics. A heritage piece for the grandies.

About your post at SM - I'm just amazed and can I ask "How could you?" - I mean 365 days of notes in a quilt - So unique, so inspiring AND so intimidating!
I just commented on Sash Manicure blog and came on over here! :-)

I absolutely LOVE the idea of 365 days of notes in a quilt. I may not be able to do 365 days consecutively; but, I'd do it when I can and accumulate 365 days worth. :-)
Congrats on being on SM! I'm a follower of you both - I'll head over and check out your post in a bit!
Your quilt is beautiful - I wish I could keep up with journalling consistently. Thanks for the chance for the lovely neutrals.

Hi! I believe my comment on your post over at SewWeQuilt/Stash Manicure was the first .. #1. What a fun post! Thank you!
Faithful follower of Stash Manicure :)
Became a follower of yours as soon as I was introduced to your blog ... thank you!
While I absolutely love your quilt, which is a true family heirloom ... I honestly don't know if I could persevere enough to get it done ... I'd find myself catching up on several days at a time, thereby negating the purpose of the 365 day theme. lol Best of luck with making the others for your other kids!! :) Thank you for sharing!

I love the idea, just do not know if I could pull it off or not. Would not want another unfinished project. You sure did an awesome job on yours though! And you have nice penmanship also.
The layer cake would be a great start on a 365 quilt, or a variation. Just a few hours ago my grandniece was born at 7 lb 13 oz. This would be a wonderful idea to use for her quilt, if the first time Mom and Dad can find the time. They are so nervous. I enjoyed your post on Stash Manicure, and the attribution to your source of inspiration. Thanks for the giveaway and the tutorial.

I left a comment for you on Stash Manicure! I was already a follower there and just joined you. Thanks for the great idea. This would make a unique back for a quilt, too.
Okay, I did all that way required. Now I hope I win the prize. You are always so busy, I don't know how you do it. I will try to catch up on the 365 project and join in. I best get started before I forget what happened earlier in the month.

I am a follower of Madame Samm's blog and thanked her for having you as a guest. I just became a follower on your site. Loved your "365 day" quilt idea. I hope to start one for notes from Nana's journal over the past 10 years. Think it is an awesome way to share a part of you with family and friends. Can't wait to see more of your ideas. Happy New Year and thanks for the opportunity to win some lovely fabrics.
Love the idea of a 'journal quilt'. I did post on Stash Manicure where I am already a follower and am now a follower here. Each day I find new blogs where people are so generous with their knowledge and ideas. I have tried to encourage my friends to give blogland a try - there is so much here!
Thank you for sharing.

REALLY neat idea to have notes for each day of the year on a quilt. Would be neat to do a pregnancy baby quilt on pastels with notes to the wee one each day - that would be a real keepsake! Or for a soldier away on dute...
Great job with your guest post on Stash Manicure... when DH retires...I'm going to start 'our' retirement journal quilt... just couldn't do the first idea... moving back to Canada journal....it could be a wee bit sad and tear stained...I want a happy journal. If you pick my number....please pick again.....I feel I'm a winner already.....every time I read your blog..... and it goes without saying I feel the same about Stash Manicure's blog. I'm a winner with every post I read. Thanks for sharing. lol

I enjoyed your post over on Stash Manicure.. I don't know that I would have 365 entertaining things to say on this type of quilt, but I sure would love to have 365 lovely things to say for my kids to remember in the future.
Wow - I am so glad you shared your 365 day quilt on Stash Manicure! I was already a follower of her blog, and I posted a comment there. Then I came to your blog and I love it!!! I can't wait to read through your posts now that I am following you also! I'd love to win the layer cake, but I'm going to do the quilt whether I win or not - it's a real winner!!! Thanks so much! (misstbooks@charter.net)
Wow, I just came back from Stash Manicure and I am so excited about this quilt. I plan to start my "Quilt Journal" as soon as we finish our renovations (about 3 weeks from now I should have the house back together) and can get back to my sewing room. It was a wonderful post and a truly great idea. Thanks you so much. I even popped over to Leanne's to see her's. Hugs...

OH, I left a rather long comment on you Stash Manicure post. I got carried away with the idea, LOL. Way excited here! Hugs...
I am now a follower of your blog and I have forgotten to tell you thank you so much for a chance to have this wonderful layer cake to get started with. It would be so nice to start off in my new sewing room with these beautiful Moda fabrics. A wonderful give away! Good luck to everyone.

I enjoyed reading about the making of your 365 day quilt- it would be an interesting way of recording a diary of a year in one's life.
