Make sure you visit Quilter's Gallery between August 26 and September 3 for the list of all the blogs with giveaways. Our theme for this blog hop is Back to School. School starts bright and early Monday morning, and at my house we have spent plenty of time going through the school supply list and making sure the backpack is loaded full of new pens, pencils, notebooks, and folders.
The notebooks were so fun this year I actually thought about purchasing a few for myself. Of course I used to just wait for that school supply list to arrive. I loved new pencils, crayons, art supplies, brand new notebooks and folders that by the end of the year would look like they had traveled 10,000 miles to and from school, which was never the case.
The new backpack or book bag as we called it back then was the highlight. One year my best friend and I got matching book bags that could be worn as a messenger bag or a backpack. We thought we were so cool, that is until we mixed them up on the bus and had to meet to exchange them. After that our names were on them so we didn't have to drag our moms out to retrieve the right one.
Now for the giveaways. I thought some rulers would be in keeping with the back to school theme. I find I use the 6-inch square on a daily basis when making my blocks. The two 1-inch rulers are great for squaring up edges of fabric, cutting squares in half, and they have 3/16 and 3/8 inch markings on them.
I do not think you can have rulers without fabric to think about cutting. This is a 31 fat quarter pack from Robin Pandolph's Hope Cove fabric line. There are three ways to enter to win...
1. Leave a comment telling me what your favorite school supply was to purchase (i.e., a cool ink
colored pen, mechanical pencils, notebooks).
2. Leave a comment letting me know you are already a follower or are becoming a new follower of
Meadowbrook.
3. Leave a comment letting me know you have visited the Meadowbrook Facebook page and "liked" it.
Don't forget to check out the other blogs for their giveaways. The drawing for the prizes here will be on September 4 bright and early in the morning, and I will ship anywhere in the world. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

hi there
I am a follower of your blog - i love it!
I always loved getting new packets of felt pens - so cool to see the new colours they come out with each year.
Favorite School Supply to Buy!! Cool topic! :-) I always loved choosing my notebook every year-- and my favorite all-time has to be my David Cassidy one! :-) But, I think that even more fun was choosing my lunch box. We took our lunch ever day, and I was always so excited to see what my Mom had packed for us. Usually there would be a sandwich and either Kool Aid or Tea to drink, and a cookie or two. But some days, she would put a thermos of hot soup and crackers-- and on very special days, we'd get a thermos of hot spaghetti!!! Everyone would be so jealous! ;-)
Thank you so much for the chance to win this AMAZING prize!!! Oh my goodness-- it's SOOO amazing!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed! :-)
I am a follower. Thank you, again, for giving us a chance to win! :-)

A new box of crayons has always been my favorite. Now I use them to color some fabric.
G'Day from Australia! I don't have any children yet, so have not done any back to school shopping...though, if I did, I would shop at Smiggle - a wonderful Australia supplier of the cutest school supplies ever!

I loved (and still love) school supplies. It's a toss up between cool ink pens and journals to say which is my favorite. I prefer to buy a new journal when I find a cool pen! Thanks for the giveaway. I can never have enough rulers or fabric.

What a generous giveaway! My favorite school supply purchase was always my folder. One year I got a red Trapper Keeper (back when they were the thing to have) and I couldn't have been more excited! Now, I love picking out lunch supplies (mostly bento goodies) to use when making special lunches for my little girl.
I always liked the new package of pencil crayons each year.

I always loved getting to choose a new box of crayons. I don't know about anyone else but if the list said Box of 24 I would beg and plead with my parental unit to get me the next size up since I knew there would be the lucky kids who's parents bought them the huge box and I didn't want to be the only kid with the piddly 24 box. LOL!!
Great giveaway! Thanks!

Hi,
I follow you here and on FB, Hope you are enjoying hopping x J x
We didn't have to get supplies when we were going to junior school, at secondary we needed the essential pen's, sharpeners, erasers etc... nothing really to get excited about... apart from the bags! I recall one year we (I am a Twin) wanted a big bag... so off to the indoor market and we got BIG bags, oh they were huge, a small tribe could fit into one! so Bags, they were my favourite x J x
I love the crayons!
