    2. I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting { cyberhackingcompany@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

  6. Thank you so much Barbara for the blog tour so we could learn more about you and your family as well. It must be wonderful to have an entire family that shares the same interests you have in quilting.
    All of the quilts shown during the blog tour from your book are just stunning. I really love the Pinwheel Spin Quilt. And I really love the Simple Christmas Star Quilt as well. Thank you for the tutorial to make one of our own. I'm hoping to attempt it but I have had a lot of interruptions to my normal routine with family that has had to move in with us so getting anything done has been a miracle at times. But, that isn't any sort of complaint for sure considering the biggest distraction taking me away from sewing/quilting/machine embroidery is my newest, almost 7 month old Granddaughter. She's just adorable and I'm thrilled to have that capability of holding her all day long when I want to.

    Anyway, the cover quilt is still my absolute favorite. That quilt is just gorgeous and uses my two favorite color combinations that I have loved forever; purple and blue.

    Thank you for the chance to win a copy of your book and also the ruler that I've had on my wish list for awhile now.

    Because the rules state one entry per person, I'm going to assume you want to know that I am also following your blog. Thank you for pointing out that it was possible to do so by scrolling all the way to the bottom as I had never found it before reading that, although I'd looked many times before. (I would LOVE to have the capability to follow your blog via email notification myself also if you would consider adding that as I find it easier)

  15. Hi Barbara! I noticed that the first commenter was Deb G in Va....that's not me, but I've seen her comment on several quilting blogs. It's evidently yet another Deb G! LOL!

    But maybe this Deb G will be drawn to win your book! :) I've enjoyed all the blog hopping this week and enjoyed quilt class today. Thanks!

  34. Hello everyone i was browsing the internet and i saw a lot of
    wrong quote concerning the ILLUMINATI SOCIETY, i felt bad about
    it, i want to let you know few things about the ILLUMINATI SOCIETY.
    First, i join the ILLUMINATI SOCIETY through the help of an agent
    someone introduced me to online, after years of determination to be
    a member. being a member of the ILLUMINATI your wealth is
    guarantee, you will be protected, fame, power influence e.t.c all these they will give you. one thing i want to correct is that the ILLUMINATI
    don’t pay member any salary, if you are newly initiated they will give
    you the seed of wealth and bless you with wisdom, power, influence
    e.t.c you need to be successful. the seed of wealth is the only money
    the ILLUMINATI SOCIETY give to their member, with this you can
    start anything with the money and you will be successful. Another
    thing is that the society have special blessing for politicians and
    super stars. Being an ILLUMINATI member is a personal decision, the
    society don’t force or beg people to join them. i joined because i want to,
    no body force me and am very happy to be a member today because
    they have contributed greatly to my life by making me one of the
    leading business man in the world. If you are interested in joining
    the ILLUMINATI SOCIETY contact agent SIR ROBERT MORIS on or whatsapp +2349057263057
    or call him on 2349016938501, or email him @ illuminatiworldrichm632@gmail.com he was the one that help me, this is the little help I can give to you

  36. I want to share with you my testimony of how I joined this great organization of new world order, Really I was so poor in my life was almost close to death, i tried many times to join but all was in vain where by i was facing fake people who were claiming to be agents . They ate my money without helping me out there. I lost hope totally. But because i was interested and focused on my dream, I continued trying there I meet another person who told me he will help me out still i didn't trust him at all because of the first pain i passed through,he still also asked me to send him money there i got scared but with time he sent me his membership id card,trust in him little and i accepted to send him money, but what amazed me is that immediately after sending him money for initiation items, i got initiated within 2hour onlines and i receive my $1,000,000 directly to my account there i trusted him more and he is the only agent i trust because he helped me seriously. So my friend if you want to join contact him through whatsapp + 2348180828544

  37. Attaining it big in life requires dropping a lot of procrastination whenever we come accross oppoturnity like this. Though, joining illuminati brotherhood

    is a matter of choice and if you are lucky to see this testimony that means well for you. If you have been scammed before while trying to join the illuminati

    brotherhood worry no more. You must understand that it is free to join the Illuminati brotherhood but you have to be loyal and honest to your IGF so you

    will reach your dreams and potentials. The reason many are scammed while joining the Illuminati Brotherhood is lack of knowledge. I was scammed thrice

    before i successfully joined the Brotherhood, i understand what it means to be scammed thats the reason i created time to save interested new members

    within my range to join the ILUMMINATI BROTHERHOOD successfully. I am not here to sugar coat my words but believe it when i tell you that the

    ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD are for individuals with great mindset and willing to actualize it. To join the Illuminati Brotherhood send your email to

    initiationlodgeofilluminati@gmail.com or WHATSAPP/CALL +1 (667) 666-4167 and kindly follow up and you will be initiated and also receive your benefits

    as new member of the ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD.

  39. HELLO VIEWERS

    GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    I have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy. After that my loan application worth $278,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
