But wait! How about something to really celebrate? Yesterday was my birthday and lots of great folks stopped by to wish me well. It made my day wonderful. I got lots of emails.
One of those emails may make YOU happy too. This was the email saying that AccuQuilt is allowing me to give away an AccuQuilt GO! cutter.
I love my AccuQuilt Go!
I want YOU to have one too.
Should I make this difficult for you? No, I think not. I will make it simple. Go to www.accuquilt.com and pick out the three GO! dies you would like to have if you win. Come back here and tell me your list. I would also love to know where you live. If you have a fun fact about where you live, please share it. One comment is all I want. Sorry, but if you already have a GO! you are not eligible for this giveaway.
Feel free to tell all your friends about this giveaway. If you post a link, be sure it is to this post, not to my blog in general. Only comments on this post will be eligible. I must be able to contact you if you win. Otherwise, I will have to disqualify your entry. ****I have gotten several "no-reply" comments. Sorry I can't enter you.
Okay, let the entries begin.
This will run through midnight October 15th. Then a winner will be chosen by random.org. I will announce the winner after they respond to my email.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 294 of 294Hi Gene, I am from Roswell, Georgia. No funny stories here really. Considering I'm bona fide Northern girl from New York I guess you might think the whole Scarlet O'Hara or Civil War rehashing thing is amusing (just kidding)(really!) Anyway, I would love the Applique Feather, the circles and the hexagon dies. Boy would my forearm thank you and Acuquilt. Happy Belated Birthday!!
Thanks for the opportunity in your giveaway! I'd love to have a Go cutter. My choices would be the 5" square, 2 1/2 " strip and circle dies. I live in Albuquerque, NM and right now the International Balloon Fiesta is going on, the balloons are beautiful up in the sky!
Hi! I am from the Seattle WA area where the sky is blue and the sun is shining....well, today it is! (Tomorrow the rain is back.) I popped over to the go cutter site and found *gasp* the TULIP die! How cute is that! Plus the apple core die would sure make it easy to whip out a quilt. The one die I have not seen (yet) is clamshell. I guess I would special order that one, if I won, that is.
Ooooooh what a wonderful giveaway. Like everyone else, I'd love love love to win one. I'm a simple girl and love the 5" squares.
I live in a city in Australia called Wollongong. Our local football team won the national championship over the weekend so EVERYONE is celebrating (and probably will be for a while to come).
Thanks for hosting this fab giveaway.
I would love to hve the 2 1/2" strip, Jumbo Tumbler and the 5" square. Really simple shapes. I live 45 north west of Boise Idaho. I am not to far from beautiful mountainous regions and dry hot desert. It is the best of both worlds. Great views and lots to do. Thank you for the chance to win.
I would love a GO! and with the following to go: Dresden plate, 2.5 inch strip and the tumbler

A belated Happy Birthday and congratulations on your win. I live in Mitchell South Dakota( home of the world's only Corn Palace) and would love to win your giveaway. I like the hexagon, the 2 1/2 in. strip and the dbl wedding ring. Thanks.
Happy Birthday! What a wonderful birthday email! I would love to have a GO! and have tried my luck at giveaways forever. Maybe since my birthday is coming up, this will be the charm. (hoping! ++)
I would choose the Double Wedding Ring dies, the Winding Ways, and a strip cutter~ either 2 or 2.5 because I am awful at cutting them! ;-/
I just moved to a little community in WA and love it here. The apples are great! :-)
Here's to many more happy birthdays!
I am fascinated by Winding Ways, Bountiful
Baskets and the Apple Core dies. The Acquilt GO Cutter would be great to win!
I live in Kansas and Oklahoma, depending upon the day of the week.
Oh, I'm soooo crossing my fingers! The dies I'd choose are the drunkard's path, tumbler, and dresden plates. I want to make some quilts like these, but am too chicken to cut the pieces out! (Chicken....? or lazy....?) I am from Texas, but I live in New Orleans now. I started quilting about 3 years ago and am now a hopeless fabric addict. (I can stop any time... Just.... let... me... get...one...more...FQ.... bundle....!)
Thanks for the chance to enter!

I NEED to win a Go! I'd love the tumbler, apple core, and 2 1/2 inch strip dies. Thanks!
Oh! And I live in southern Manitoba, Canada. On the windy prairie!
One of these would be heaven! Cutting is my least favourite part of the process. I'd love: 1) 2 1/2" strips; 2) 4 x 4" diamonds; 3) 5" square.
I live in Wollongong, NSW, Australia, a long way from my hometown of Chicago (but if I win this could be posted to family in the US if you can't post internationally). Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for this chance to win a Go. I'd love the double wedding ring, tumblers and hexagon dies. I live just in a suburb of Sydney and a car yard nearby has a replica Harbour Bridge across it's driveway!
Thanks for the generous give away. I'd love to have the diamonds, tumblers and hexagons. I live in Australia in an area well known for asparagus growing. It is the start of the season and the fresh asparagus is delicious!
Happy belated BD Gene
Man....O.....man I really want to win the GO and I would be the happiest girl in CANTON MICHIGAN if the Go would find it's way to my mailbox. I would love the Dresden Plate, the 7" Drunkard's Path and the Leaf-Oak & Acorn dies.....Thank you for the chance to win.
Happy belated birthday! (off topic, I know, but jaunted over to your paper bead jewelry. It's awesome!) Back on topic, I live in Frederick Maryland. Gettysburg, Baltimore, and Washington DC are day trips. So if you are a history nut, Frederick is a great place to visit within this great triangle of cities! For the Go dies, I'd pick the 2 1/2" strip, the Holiday medley, and Alpha Baby. Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Gene!

Nice way to celebrate a birthday! I would love the chance to play with a GO! I would love to use it for Sunbonnet Sue, hexagons and dresden plates so those would be the dies I'd like. Thanks for the opportunity. Susan from Mesa AZ recently moved here from Rochester MI.
I would love the 2 1/2" strip, 5", 3 1/2" dies:) I live in North Dakota and am enjoying the fall weather which has inspired a lot of fall quilting right now:)
I will throw my entry in the hat with my fingers crossed. I would select the hexagon, 5" square, and the 2 1/2" strip dies. I live in usually sunny California but am thrilled to say we finally received some rain! Thank you for hosting this great giveaway!
I'd love to win one of these! if i do the 3 dies i would like are tumbler, rag and double wedding ring!
I would pick the apple core die, the tumbler die and the adorable new gingham puppy die, too cute!
Happy belated birthday Gene. Mine was October 1 - one day after you! I'm a lot older than you though. :) I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas where the gangsters used to love to come for the baths "back in the day." I'd love to win the Go! and for sure would want a 2 1/2" strip, a 5" square, and decisions, decisions, I think the 3 1/2" strip. blessings, marlene

So excited for a chance to win a Go! The three dies I would pick would be the Double Wedding Ring, Drunkards Path, and Rob Peter to pay Paul. I hate cutting those curves.
I Live in Loveland, CO. Every February thousands of letters pass through our post offices so they can get a special 'Loveland' stamp on them before they are forwarded to their recipients.
Thanks,

Thank you for the opportunity, having a GO would be a dream to me!!! In Italy it's impossible to find it and I've always admired all the works made with it. My favorite dies are: studio sunbonnet sue, studio round flower and studio applique collection-winter. Even a baby Go would be perfect for me. I live in Palermo, Sicily, a sunny town but with too many cars. I'm a sort of "country girl in town". I've linked the giveaway in the right sidebar of my blog cannellaemele.blogspot.com. Bye for now, Clara.
I'd choose the 3.5 inch Tumbler, 2.5 inch 3-strip and the Rose of Sharon. I live in Scappoose, OR--home of the world's largest Peace candle!
Oh my goodness, what I great giveaway! I've had a few die-cutter systems but I always come back to my AccuCut GrandMark. It gives the neatest cleanest die-cuts, and nothing else cuts fabric as well. My Apple Core die arrived this week, so the next ones on my Wish List are Drunkard's Path, Tumbler, and a custom-made Tea Leaves design.
Where do I live? In my craft room!

We just moved to Washington State from the South, so it's a HUGE difference. We're really enjoying the mountain views, but I'm still waiting to catch a glimpse of Mount Rainier. I'm also just excited to be able to wear sweaters.
I would choose the 7" drunkards path, the 2 1/2' strip cutter and the 4 1/2' strip cutter. Living in Southern Indiana where the Nut Club Festival is going on. Such delicious food like Brain sandwiches, Scorpion lollipops and even deep fried butter. Its a deep fried lovers paradise. Thanks for the opportunity to finally own one of these!

Okay, if I won, I would love the 6 1/2" tumbler block, the 6 1/2" triangle, and the Diamonds-4" x 4".
I live in NY, on the top of a hill (mountain...not sure what you'd call it.) There is a beautiful view of the valley below with the small town and a winding river running through it. The trees have begun to turn colors with autumn's cooler temps. It's a beautiful place to live!
Thanks again!
I think this is a fantastic giveaway and would love to win. I would like the 2.5 in strip die, dresden plate die and 6.5 in tumbler die. My funny fact? I live in Winston-Salem, NC, the home of Krispy Kreme donuts.

Hi, Gene, from an unusually warm Minnesota. The unexpected streak of sunny 80 degree days is lovely for viewing fall color, but leaves will fall fast in this heat. The warmth is especially appreciated by the hundreds of families in southern Minnesota who are drying out from devasting floods two weeks ago.
I have rotary cut well over 45,000 two inch squares in the process of making postage stamp quilts. I can only imagine how much easier this would be with a GO! cutter! Thanks for the chance to win! - Mary, The Curious Quilter
Hi Gene, Thanks for this opportunity! I live in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, Canada. Right smack in the middle of the Great Lakes. I can see Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan from my kitchen window and I frequently slip across the boarder to Joanne's to buy fabric! The prices are better!
I would love to win a GO! and I am torn over the dies but I think the large rag die, the 2 1/2" strip die and either the critters or the 6 1/2" triangle!
Happy Birthday!

Hello Gene! (BTW, loved your comment on another blog about calling polka dots "cobblestones"--that was so manly!!) I live in a little town about 70 miles west of Chicago and we celebrate Pumpkin Fest every fall. The courthouse lawn is sectioned off for decorated pumpkins, there's a 2-hour parade, and 3 craft shows. Imagine all that with the smell of mulling cider and hot donuts wafting through the air--aaaahhhh!
Winning an Accuquilt Go! would sure make this my luckiest year ever! Think positive, think positive...

I live in Texas....fun fact, we don't dress in cowboy gear around here!! It is hot as can be most of the time and if it does snow in the winter, it brings EVERYTHING to a stop.....no one is used to that type of weather! It is crazy.
Thanks for the chance.
