To celebrate, I have been gathering items to be included in a large giveaway. I have also decided to hold several smaller giveaways throughout the month because.... drum roll, please! July 28th is my 3 year Blogiversary! So this is a super special month for my blog and I want to share with you!!!
Here is the booty in it's entirety! Although, there may be a couple more patterns or magazines added depending on if I find anything else worth sharing.
The Full BootyAnd some closer details.

I am putting together something special for an International giveaway that will only be available to those who do not live in the US. Those details will be following shortly. **Updated** HERE is the link for the International Giveaway!
For those of you in the US, you have several ways to enter...

Woo Hoo - 1000!!! Great work - and great fun for us to read!
I'm already a "loyal" follower :-) and will have to think on the fabric line question - that's a toughie!!!
Entry #1 - If I could be any line of fabric, I would design a computer programming line of fabric. One pattern could be names of various languages and/or various commands/keywords. Another print (or set of prints) could be of various diagrams used in software engineering. A print could have computers/hardware pictured. The set wouldn't be complete without a 0 & 1's print :-D. What can I say, I'm a computer geek!
Entry #2 - I already am a follower!
Entry #2 - posted in my blog and added to my sidebar. http://quiltingb29.blogspot.com/2010/07/jills-1000th-post-giveaway.html
Max and Maisy are sooooooooo generous! LOL
Let's see if I were a fabric line I'd be called Confetti since I feel like I'm tossed around all the time! My sewing room looks like somebody tossed piles of fabric in there too!
Love ya,
Cathy
Congratulations on your milestone post!!!
If I could be any line of fabric I think I would be a batik.......they have come through the hot wax treatment and still look good..on both sides no less! I haven't yet met a batik that I didn't like.
I'll be interested in seeing what your other fans like.
I read your blog every day but rarely do I post comments. Congratulations on your big achievement!!
If I could be any fabric line... I guess my answer would be anything from the Me and My Sister line. I'm a girly girl at heart and I just love the colors and pattern they use in their fabrics. They make me sing. :) Boring answer...I know.
I'm also a follower. :)
Blogged!
http://misspunkiepie.blogspot.com/2010/07/1000-post-giveaway.html
ok ok I will go first!!! Congratulations on your 1000th post!! Tha is a lot of booty to be giving away!
hmmmm..what kind of fabric would a like to be??? Maybe the fabric in Gerard Butler's quilt? That would be nice! Really if I could be a line of fabric it would be 3 Sister's for Moda Paris Flea Market. Ballerina Slipper pink. It came out when I first started quilting and my sweet husband bought me the whole fat quarter set for Christmas! I still have it!
pssst..I'm following you girlie!!
What happened to my comment? Anyway, I thought I was a "follower" but evidently I wasn't official so I have made it official. Since I don't have a blog, I will post on facebook to get my quilting friends to come and check out your blog.
(If my first comment got lost in cyberspace.......I would like to be a batik......haven't yet met one I didn't like!)
Ive been followin' long time...
LOL
Congrats jilly...
I would be a fabric line chosen by a man quilter. A manly man quilter. Who would pick out a pattern to use me in and cut, piece, and bind me up into a lovely manly man quilt for him to snuggle with on cold and lonely nights. (no women allowed in my quilty layers)
yeah....
I blogged you..... Congrats on the K baby! Woo hoo!!!
Oh Jill! To pick ONLY ONE fabric line????
not that Ive used any of this line yet, but "Cherish Nature" by Deb Strain (Moda line) is just lovely! Love the Robin-egg blues and greens!!! Someday!
As for being a follower---gonna do that as soon as I post! AND--you can count of me to add a link on my blog (even though it's so tempting to just keep this lil' giveaway to myself!!!) ;0) What a loot!!!!! Holy buckets!
See! I told you I'd be the first commenter :0)
Posted on Amy's Passions
And a follower to boot :0)
And July 28th??? Oh gosh---I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long!!! ;0)
Congratulations on such a nice achievement! I am not big on any certain line, except Thimbleberries. I would be any Thimblebrries line out there. I love their fabric. It is mostly dark and geared towards fall. (At least that is my opinion.) I guess I am in the fall of my life. Not winter, yet, but fall. The kids are all grown, but I still have some life in me. LOL Did any of that make sense? Great giveaway. Winona
Just thought I'd add that I just became a follower. Winona
Found your blog through Jen (Miss Punkie Pie) & glad I did! If I were a fabric line I'd be something brand new, bright, colorful & quirky! thanks for the awesome giveaway!
oh, and I am a new follower! Looking forward to coming back here often
If I were fabric I might have to design my own line--it would, naturally involve a lot of cobalt blue, God's own perfect color. I have never found a line with quite enough of it.
I follow you--of course. A daily read of your crafting adventures makes my day a little brighter. And it motivates, too. What a perfect combination.
And, just because I couldn't resist, I posted about your giveaway on my site: http://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/1000-posts-yay-jill/
The selfish part of me wants to be the only one entering, but the generous-like-jill part of me hopes you have 1,000 entries. That would be appropriate, don't you think?
Congratulations on your achievement. What a fan-tab-u-lous giveaway to celebrate the occasion. I would like to be anything from Sandy Gervais fabric from Moda.
PS: I'm not a stalker, but I am following you, now.
Congrats on your fabulous blogging milestone!
If I could be any line of fabric, I would be one that I created in teals, oranges, yellows, reds, and black. It would have some modern designs on the fabrics with swirls, circles, etc.
I've been following your blog for a while now and enjoy hearing about your quilting adventures.
Congratulations! For being a fabric I guess I'd be Whimsy by Fig & Plum because I don't want to take things too seriously. Whimsy has such cute colors and I love the words on the little circles. Fabric with words is really interesting to me. Otherwise I might have to be Life Is, for the same reasons.
CONGRATS! CONGRATS!
I'd surely choose to be like "Me and My Sister" line! Love their fabrics!
THANKS for sharing,love,Linda
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I just became a follower! Yeah! Great giveaway--thanks for the chance!
If I were a line of fabric I would be: To The Sea, the Bright Beautiful Sea.....with all of the shades of greens to teals to sand colors! I love the ocean and everything that has to do with it! I love the smell of the ocean and the sand!
Thank you for the chance to win. If I were a fabric line I would be Westminster fabrics. The lovely rich colors of Jacob Phillips, Martha Negley and Kaffe Fassett just give quilts and projects so much vibracy.
I became a follower
Congratulations!!! I'm a follower =)
If I could be a fabric line...I'd be a little bit of everything: moderns, bolds, blues, pastels, some autumns, red/white combos and a bit of wacky conversationals to top it all off.
=)
I posted about you and your button on my blog.
Congrats on the milestones! 1000 and 3 years, quite an accomplishment. I love to blog and never knew it until I started doing it. I think it is so much fun to share things with other bloggers. I have made so many friends through blogging. I have enjoyed catching up on your blog and plan on following for a long time.
As for a line of fabric..I would go with Moda American Jane...I like it all and it reminds me of my childhood.
I'm already a follower.
I will blog about your giveaway too and put a link back to your blog, again, Congrats!
Entry #1 I just became a follower
Entry #2
If I were a line of fabric, I'd be full of colorful brights with fun patterns of all kinds, geometric, flowers, and throw in some novelty prints too...like western...I know, that doesn't sound very compatible does it?!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway and congratulations on your 100th post! The fabric line I would be is Kitty Yoshida's Brooklyn Heights. It's urban and gritty but feminine at the same time.
I just became a follower!
I just blogged about it here: http://undercovercrafter.blogspot.com/
Congratulations - you beat me to 1000 posts by a few hours. If I was fabric I want to be Authentic by Sweetwater.
Here is another comment to mention that I am a follower (of course).
I am a new follower! So glad to meet you---I'll be back.
Congratulations on your awesome 1000 posts!! Wow. I'm new to blogging, so that seems very far away for me. :) I would be moda's Sent With Love. I love this line of red and white.
I would cwant to be something by LaurieLee. Not sure of the spelling there? I love her panels and matching material.
I just became a follower.
1000 posts and a 3 year blogiversary, fantastic. You should be so proud and your readers are so appreciative.
My favorite fabric line - probably Natures Notebook - Moda. It's the cool soothing colors. Just looking at them makes me feel serene, they carry me away.
I am a follower - no blogger, just a reader of blogs.
I would be Moda's Lily and Will: girly but very well put together. Congrats on the 1000!
OK - this took me all day to ponder and this is what I decided...
If I were a fabric… I would be a white on white print.
Why?
Because I am versatile and can be used with nearly any fabric line out there.
Because people like to use both the BIG pieces of me and the LITTLE pieces of me – so I usually get all used up.
Because people like to keep a stash of me on hand.
Because when people talk about me they usually say “WOW”
…and when they turn me upside down… they say “MOM”
Hi Jill..congratulations on this milestone. wooo, what a pile of loot! I've been reading for a long time, but now I'm a "real" follower!
Congrats on your 1000 post! If I were fabric I would be a Moda scrap bag for sure! I am a little bit of everything all bunched up into one. I like quilting, crocheting, bakeing, my kids,pets, hubby etc. I am all different sizes depending on how many cookies I have been eating!
Congrats on 1000 posts. That is something!! Love the books you picked out. What fabric would I be? I think I would want to be Moda, because they have so many great lines that I love, love, love.
I just became a follower!
Congratulations on your 1000th post! Quite a milestone, as is the 3 year anniversary. I've been reading for a while, but not 3 years.
I'd like to be a line of fabric by Sandy Gervais. I haven't yet seen a line she's done that I didn't like. In her current lines, Frolic is especially fun, and I'm looking forward to Lollipop.
I'm a new follower despite having been reading your blog for a while.
congratulations!
I just found your blog and I am a new follower.... congrats on your blogiversary and 1000 posts!!
Your blog is wonderful and I love your dogs!!
Thank you for an amazing give away!
SheilaC
Wow, 64 comments already since this morning! I am hoping 65 is what Mr. Random likes :) I think if I had to be a line of fabric, I would be the new Happy Zombie line Happy Holiday - just love those colors and you can use it for Christmassy or non-Christmassy stuff because the colors are so versatile. Congrats on 1,000!
And I am a follower, but not in the google follower way...I do it with a google sidebar on my desktop...is that ok? If not, I will become official :)
If I could be any line of fabric I would be:
Giving Season by Teresa Kogut for Marcus Brothers Fabrics
I chose this fabric because I LOVE picking out special gifts for family and friends at holiday time, because it IS all about the GIVING!
Thanks for the give away :)
SHeilaC
http://www.fatquartershop.com/Tis-the-Giving-Season-Teresa-Kogut-Marcus-Brothers-Fabrics.asp?Store_Id=499&T=1
I would have a hard time selecting any fabric line because I am a self professed fabriholic - shameful I know, but I love fabric - love to hold and stare at it all. As to your 1000 post! As they say "you go girl"
Carolyn in SC
If I could be any line of fabric I'd like to be Moda. I see it as being so chic. Sometimes I wish I could be really chic!
it would be hard to pick out just one line. i would love to create a new children's line. it would be very colorful, happy, playful, but not to baby like or to grown up like. i guess i have a little peter pan complex, i don't want to grow up. or i would like to creat a new and exciting tone on tone or blender line. so many have colors that are not true colors when it comes to red or blue. the blenders are so needed and used a lot when you cant quite find the right print to let certain fabrics stand out. i am a follower and i dont have a blog of my own to list yours on. congrats on the big 1,000 post and 3rd year .
also, wow fat quarters for $1, wish i could have been there also
If I could be a fabric line, I would be one of the 30's repros. They are such cheery designs for a not so cheery time in history. They also are my favorite fabric! :)
Congrats on your 1000 post and almost 3 years of blogging! Cheers to many more!
Sandy A
I am a follower, too!
Sandy A
Happy 1000th post!
If I could be any fabric line, I'd be one of my own creation. Full of green, orange, pink, and black. Why this one? I like being an individual (therefore my own line) and I'm feeling those colors right now! Another reason is that I'm drawn to bright modern fabrics but I've been quilting with traditional fabrics. I need to bust out of that and walk outside my color comfort zone!
I love the Sarasa line the best!
Sandy A
I just became a follower too. I love to quilt, knit and I love pups. Looks like we have a few things in common!
I'd be from the Neptune line...all those sea colors calling my name to join them in the depths of the ocean. They are calming colors and I'd live there often...I'd come out to visit the grandkids and that's about it! :) Back in I'd go...is that a mermaid tail I see behind me????? No wonder......
I became a follower! And I hope that is a needle threader I see in the picture...I'm having such a hard time threading my needles lately. My 16 yr old neice will be here in a few weeks, so I may get her to thread several needles onto a spool of thread for me....unless I win that threader!!!! :)
1000 posts! I'm so impressed. Great accomplishment! If I were a fabric line.... I would be "Smile Happy."
I have just become a follower. Love the photos of your doxies. I have a tan smooth haired friend named Rusty.
If I could be a line of fabric, I would be Bliss by Moda, because Bliss is a state of profound satisfaction, happiness and joy, a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss. How could it be any better?
CONGRATS on your 1000th post!!!! If I could be a line of fabric I would be the Zippity Do Dah line (I just finished a quilt in this line of fabric!) I chose it because it is so happy and carefree and that is what I like to be when I can!!!!! I enjoy your blog and the "doings" of your cute doggies!
Congratulations on your 1000th post! If I could be a line of fabric it would something called Pinkalation. I love pink and having a pink line of fabric would mean that I could make any and every quilt in PINK. It should have some very beautiful swirls and the daintiest of flowers with a coordinating stripe to go with it. In every shade from light to dark. Enjoy your blogiversary!
Wow - I'm impressed = congrats on such a great achievement. I am now following your blog!
I am also a quilter and am obsessed with fabric!
Keep up the good work!
Jackie Gilbert
If I were a line of fabric I would be Breath of Avignon since I would someday love to go to Provence!
Congratulations. I am already a follower.
Wow. 3 amazing years! Congratulations. Great post (great blog too).
Hymm. IF I could be a line of fabric? I think I might be a line that shares all the amazing things of nature. Beautiful skies, wonderful sunsets, amazing waterfals, charming butterflies, busy bees, slow catepillers, dainty birds, cheerful flowers. Get the idea... Yeap...cheerful & colorful nature.

Amazing 1000! My fabric would be a cheater cloth that is a snapshot of charms of all ranges of my favorite fabric lines. Of course, it probably would be a full bolt of fabric! Please enter me in your great giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
I blogged about your giveaway this morning, and added a link and your button!
Just discovered you after a recommendation from another blog. Your interests are right up my alley!
I just became a follower. Now to go back and read some older posts.
I would be Purple, with round dots of chocolate brown, and the chocolate brown dots would be "scratch and sniff" - of chocolate, of course!
HOLLLLLAAAA!! I don't want to be included in the giveaway - our regular excursions and crazy antics are prizes to me ;)
Just want to say congrats and yay!!!
Also, I can't resist your fabric question. I thik you know what I would choose. Of course I'd be an Alexander Henry pinup fabric!!! I'm thinking a new pinup line of 50's housewife. Me and the girls (pushed up, of course!) leaning over a big pink layer cake. Hee hee.
HOLLLLLAAAAA for 1,000 posts (and for AH's fabulous fabric)!
XOXO,
Babs
Wow I can't believe its already 1000.. Congrats. You know I follow and have linked to your blog from mine.
As far as the fabric I will have to think about that after my mid- term tonight.
Heather
Congrats on reaching 1000 posts!!! If I had to choose a fabric that I'd like to be, it would be anything by 3 Sisters. But if someone would choose a fabric for me, it would probably have a pinball machine on it since I keep going back and forth on projects.
I know it's not a separate comment, but I'm also a follower and have posted about your giveaway on mine! Gotta spread the word!
Congrats on your blogging milestone! That is totally awesome :)
If I was a line of fabric, I would be a Moda Marble! I hope that I am able to 'get along' with everybody! :)
Any fabric line? Anything Moda! It's like a candy store!!
#2 I have posted about your giveaway on my blog.
I am now a follower - thought I was but have had computer problems the last couple of days. I would choose any line of batiks - just like $$$ a girl can't have too many batiks. :)
congratulations! Hmm--fabric line? Red Rooster! I really like the fabric. And chickens are the most brainless crazy fun-to-watch animals! Glad to see the dogs on the header, although the wonder woman one was a hoot!
I would be something from lila tueller, happy and pretty :)
I am a follower!
Okay I figured it out!! I was looking at some new lines of fabric this morning and I would be... Santa's Chocolate Shoppe (http://www.christmascloth.com/Santas-Chocolate-Shoppe-Studio-E-Fabrics.asp?Store_id=499&T=1) because its cheerful and fun and who doesn't love chocolate or santa? Smiles
Congratulations on 3 years. What a wonderful giveaway and thanks for the chance to win. If I were a fabric it would have to be anything in the 30's line, I love the small animal prints.
Sometimes us old grannys have a hard time figuring out this computer stuff. But finally I am a follower.
Wow congratulations on 3 years! That is great! I would be a patriotic fabric line~ something that could be displayed all year and a reminder of our great country. :-)
I'm a follower now. :-) I have been reading back and really like your blog. :-)
Well - If I could be any type of fabric I would be a soft, flannel in pale pink and blue animal prints that every baby wanted to have next to them.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo.com
I'm following as Renee G on GFC.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo(Dot)com
I'd want to be Henry Glass's Pink Chocolate line for Buggy Barn, because it's pink and it's chocolate and I am obsessed with both fabric and chocolate. I've bought so much of this line to make quilts for my baby girl and niece, I would get to be with both of them forever.
I'm following you now as ajsmother2002@yahoo.com

Congrats on reaching 1000! If I were any fabric, I would be like one of those cheater cloth fabrics on Spoonflower - 6x6 charms of all of my favorite fabrics from any collection and designer. In all colorways. Well, there may not be enough yardage on that bolt to have charms of all of them....
Thank you for this giveaway.
Congrats on 1000 posts. Whew! That seems like a lot! The fabric line that I would create for myself would have to be called Mommie Moda! It would have numbers, letters scattered everywhere, the word MOMMIE in caps everywhere, a row of zzzzz's crossed out for no sleep, bandaids, drippy popsicles, diapers! diapers! diapers!, burnt pancakes, take out menus....basically an i-spy print for Moms! I have a two year old son. You get the picture :)
