To commemorate this wondrous moment, and to commiserate my impending return to work (which is the topic we do not mention) I thought a little giveaway would be in order.
So, for my lovely juvvely blog followers, here it is - a Hello Gorgeous charm pack (because you're gorgeous and you say hello to me in your comments) and a little slice of kiwiana in a chocolate treat. This chocolate is a brand new release by Whittakers chocolate makers, New Zealand's most trusted brand (truly - they've just won an award for it). They have mixed white chocolate with L&P, which is a lemony flavoured soft drink available only here in the Land of the Long White Cloud. It's crazy delicious and has a little bubbly surprise in it. It's my current favourite chocolate, and I will only have the best for my quilty friends.
 |
| Yep - this could be yours ... |
Hello Gorgeous has been around for a while now, and I just love it. I don't know why I don't see more quilts with it. Here is a sneaky peak of the whole range, so you can see the prints. The charm pack has all these plus coordinating solids. Why am I giving such loveliness away? Sheesh - the things I do for you!
I can't wait to see what the lovely winner will make with the charm pack. Squeeeee.
 |
| It's gorgeous ... |
So if you want some of this deliciousness, leave me a comment below together with two critical pieces of information - how you follow me (ie Bloglovin or email or however) and your favourite chocolate flavour (just because I'm nosy). Because I like new friends too, you are welcome to enter even if you're a new follower. And it you are new - welcome to Shush - have a look around and a piece of chocolate. You can even have a cup of tea and a lie down if that's your style. It's pretty relaxed around here.
Princess will be in charge of the random draw, which we will hold in the afternoon on the Monday after next (12 August), NZ time. She may accept bribes - I'll let you know.

Thank you for organising a giveaway! Chocolate and fabrics, what's there not to adore?! -- I follow you via link in my Tilkunviilaaja blog, and my favourite chocolate is this Christmas special Finnish chocolate "Joulusuklaa" by Fazer. It's got cinnamon, cloves, ginger as seasoning, and there's raisins inside, and maybe some nuts too. It's only available to buy around Christmastime.
I'm a follower through bloglovin and my favorite flavor of chocolate is good old milk chocolate :). Thanks for a chance at a gorgeous charm pack and some treats!
Hmmm -asking me to pick a favourite chocolate is a bit like asking me to pick a favourite fabric. Dark chocolate is always good though, especially dark chocolate with chilli. Following through bloglovin.

So nice to discover a new quilt blog based in NZ, I'm going to follow you in blog loving. Love the Hello gorgeous, I haven't stumbled across it before. As for chocolate, I like almost any, much to my downfall.

I am always so please to find a fellow NZ Blogger. I have only been blogging for 3 months. At this point the new L&P/White chocolate is my favourite - I have consumed a couple of the small bars this week. Now following you on bloglovin.
Have a great weekend.
Found your blog via Freshly Pieced, always like to check out fellow kiwi quilters.
Have been in Aus for many years and miss Pinky bars, you can find them in some stores but are not common.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Peanut butter and chocolate combinations are the best. I follow you on bloglovin'!
My daughter is having a baby soon so a little chocolate in the waiting room from a quilter will be just right! Of corse, looking over some new charm squares and trying to decide what to do with them is pretty awesome while munching.
