  3. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can see that you have already turned, here in Norway we have 9 hours left of the old year!
    I hope to be in the drawing of your wonderful giveaway. In 2009 my DD1 turns 20 years old, and my FIL turns 80 years old. And probably there are more days to celebrate, not so close.
    Look at my give away as well.

  5. This year the millstone will be 21 years of having Polymyositis and Lupus -- living through it with no serious health problems along the way after the initial six months & with the help of a great doctor figuring out what doses of medication was needed to keep it under control. We always know I can have a major set back but always remain positive.

    Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful pattern.
    Right off the bat I can't think of any "special" milestone this year.
    But with my husbands loss of job in 2008 (he did find a part time job) I feel that everyday we wake up and make it through working together being each others strength is "SPECIAL"

  95. We are holding a big family event this year...it is our 80th annual Linn Family Reunion (my maiden name). The first one was held in 1929 and starting in 1959 good records were kept of who came to each event. I took over the coordinating of our reunions about ten years ago and it is a real joy to bring family members together every summer. This year will be really special. My dad will not be with us but I continue the care of the event in his memory and of my Grandpa and Grandma. I just love your quilt pattern and would love to win it. If I don't win it, though, I think I'll have to order it. The quilt is lovely!!

  123. The year started with me and my husband celebrating our 9th engagement day, we got engaged at the millenium change. Now we are awaiting our baby that should be arriving any day now and that will really be the biggest reason to celebrate this year! Then in august we will celebrate our 8th wedding day followed by me changing my age to an even number which feels like a big change. And then back to new years and celebrating 10 years since we got engaged. I hope it's gonna be a great year. :-)

  152. Hi Rose,
    oh - what a gem your quilt is & even more special as you dedicated it to your husband - may (at least!) the next 20 years be full of joy, happy memories & good health for you two!
    This year we will celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday - he doesn't like me to remind him of that fact but I'm really looking forward to this...{maybe because my big "0" is still in the far...eh..near future ;o)} it also means that we know each other for nearly 9 years...and I'm already anticipating our 10th anniversary of relationship...
    Thanks for this question - I just realized all this while thinking of an answer to write ;o)
    Happy new year,
    Julia

  176. Nice givewaway package! We had such a full 2008, I think 2009 might be a quiet one. No big birthdays or graduations or weddings, so possibly the best thing about 2009 is that it is quietly uneventful and just full of good health and activities for our family. -- Michele

  177. Shucks you asked about 2009....we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on Dec 30th but with no fanfare. We hope to celebrate it properly later in 2009. Now if I must pull out the big guns....I turn 50 on Dec 22, 2009.

  178. This year we will be celebrating the marriage of our son. He'll be the first of our four children to marry! Hard to believe I'm old enough to have kids that age. I'm certainly looking forward to the wedding, and don't tell them, but I'm working on a quilt for them!!! Let's hope it's done on time!! LOL

  188. Oh my goodness Rose look at all the comment. I thought I had better put my name in because I just love those patterns of yours and I keep thinking I need to order them one day. I think for me it will be the special anniversary of 15 years for Jim and I. There are a few things in 2009 that will be difficult for me but I am hoping that it will be a good year - better than 2008!

    Happy New Year.

    Can I add -- Pick me --LOL!!!
