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

I used to like picking out the cool notebooks. My kids...and now grandkids are the same! LOL
What an awesome prize you are giving away. Rulers are something I don't have for my quilting. Hubby bought me the sliding ruler/cutter combination. It's super cool, but a separate ruler and cutter would always come in handy.
And, you are adding all the fabric as well!
I am a new follower too!

I'm old school - pretty old. I loved (and still love) the smell of a new box of Crayola crayons. I also looked for nice boxes for organizing my supplies. Cigar boxes were a favorite. I think kids use plastic boxes these days.
Thanks for participating in the giveaway.
