This Giveaway is now Closed. Sorry you missed the party.
Strike up the band! It's time to PARRRRRRRRRRR-TY!!!
Gracie, What's up with Mom this morning? She's acting even more weird than usual.
I don't know, Smitty...something about flogging for five years.
Five years! Holy Mouse Tails! I haven't even been alive that long.
You should have seen her before, Smitty. It was purrthetic. She used to walk around the house muttering to herself all the time. Words, words, words. All the time words. The woman just can't stop talking. And then she started flogging. And then came the camera and it was just flash, flash, flash. All the time with the flash.
I've noticed that, Gracie. What is that thing?
Let's just hope this purrty puts an end to all the nonsense, Smitty. She wants us to tell the people what they can win if they'll just put up with her tails for a little while longer. Sigh. It's a cat's life, I'll tell you.
So here's the deal. Listen up out there. She's got this really soft squishy bed meowterial. Cats like sleeping on it. For some reason you people like cutting it into little pieces and sewing it back together. Smitty...do not ask me to explain because I can't. It's this 16-fat quarter bundle of Ruby Beauty by Art Gallery Fabrics.
Man, Gracie! I could make a seriously cozy bed out of that. Spurrinkle a little catnip on it, and let the snoozing begin. What do we have to do to win?
Don't be ridiculous, Smitty. Cats can't win. It's only one of the things that makes cat life such a drag...at least around here.
Just leave a comment...any comment will do. And since our mom wants to thank everybody who follows along (and who knows why you'd want to?), this giveaway is fur followers only...new, old, salty, sweet, bitter, and twisted. Just be a follower and the world is your tuna.
Isn't that supposed to be "oyster", Gracie? The world is your oyster?
Gack, Smitty. Do you want to eat one of those slimy balls of snot? Stick with tuna, Little Man. And purrty on, because this purrty will be going on until Friday, July 17th. After that, everybody's gonna choose a whisker and the shortest whisker wins. Keep your cheeks covered, Little Man. It's gonna get ugly.
Maybe we should invite Uno over, Gracie. He's got lots of whiskers on his ugly mug.
Fur once, I think you're onto something, Smitty. Is your phone charged up? You call him. But don't say anything about the whiskers, okay? It'll be out secret.

I hope whiskers don't get pulled. Purty on from an old, salty, sweet, bitter, and twisted follower.
Omg Gracie! I am totally twisted ...let me be purrfectly clearish here..I will trade tuna for pink stuff! Don't whisker a word!
Giveaway looks puurty good to me!
Okay Gracie, how many cans of tuna will it take? :-)
Cat-tastic giveway! I hope they are not catatonic from all of the catnip purrtying. thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net

Hi Barbara - that's awesome. I think I have about 7 years I should be doing a give away some day. :) Love reading so keep writing.
Five years....awesome! COngrats guys!!!! Love the party hats and Art Gallery fabric is sooooo silky soft! Let the cat nip fly! ENJOY!!!!
Gracie, Smitty - you two wonderful fur purrsons are to be commended! You have the patience of saints for putting up with that darn camera flashing in your eyes all the time. But, hey, if it weren't for that camera we wouldn't know how beautiful and handsome you are! Today is nothing. Wait until your mom hits 10 years!
Congrats on 5 years! I think I passed that milestone a few months ago, and didn't even realize it!
Your kitties are so sweet! Congrats on 5 years!!
Thanks for the laugh out loud post! And thanks for all the inspiration on your blog. Congrats on 5 years of flogging!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Love your blog and the projects you share. Your cats are beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. (shirparks@gmail.com)
Happy 5th Blogaversary Barbara. I don't always leave a comment but love seeing what you are getting up to. It's always lovely seeing what Smitty and Gracie are up to too.
I follow and enjoy your blog via GFC. Congrats on 5 years!
My cats are devoted readers and really enjoy hearing about Smitty's escapades since they are not allowed outside. As for me, I appreciate that you do not sell anything or use sponsors and I look forward to reading what you have to say every morning. Thanks too for introducing me to Block Lotto, I can hardly believe I won last month.
Your friend, 9lizards
Happy Blogiversary! I love the picture of Smitty and Gracie....but they don't look to happy in the picture. Thanks for the great giveaway. I enjoy reading your blog every day.
I've been a furllower, for a long time now. Those colors are my daughter-in-laws favorite colors (pinks & oranges). Hi Gracie & Smitty!
Congratulations on 5 years!
WOW, 5 years, that's purrfectly divine!
Smitty and Gracie look so purrty in their purrty hats. Congrats Barbara!
Congrats on 5 years blogging. Keep it up so we can enjoy many more years. Your posts are always informative, interesting, motivating and funny. Always enjoyable.
Wow 5 years of flogging and I've only bean a furllower for three of them. That means I've missed out on two years of fun, games sewing and cats. I'd better take a day off and catch up what I've missed. Picasso hopes we win the giveaway as he says that fabric would look fabulous with him lying on it. It sure would show off his black fur to purrfection. I love your blog, it's my happy fix of the day.
I put you in my Feedly as soon as I found you. Because cats. Also quilts. But mostly cats.
Happy Blogiversary!
Congratulations on 5 years! I have to say that your blog is the first one I look for. Love everything about it from the quilts to everyday life to Smitty and Gracie. The only bad thing I have to say is that because of you I end up spending way to much money on new patterns. Rina
Happy Blogaversary!
Thanks.

Dear Smitty and Gracie, please send my congratulations to your Mom for this great achievement! Thanks for the chance ;)
i guess i come under the 'old follower' heading, thanks
Wow! Five years already!! Gracie & Smitty, tell Mom she's doing a great job --- and PURRRRTY on!
Time flies when you're having fun, but 5 years is a lot of time to fly! Good call on inviting Uno, kidbits. He's a cutie.
Five years really? Gracie and Smitty, I'm in, but Uno can keep his whiskers. I'm sure your Mom would concur.
5 years of words, words, words.....and cats, too. Does it get any better? Great job,
Barbara. You know I love the blog....and you, too, my friend.
Happy Blogiversary! I am a middle aged follower.
I can hardly believe that it is your Fifth anniversary already. I really do enjoy your quilts, cats, food and travel. Thanks for the fun reading.
Congrats on the anniversary! I love reading your blog and all the cat tales! Keep on writing, I will be reading! Thanks for letting us follow your adventures
Yay!!! Thanks Gracie & Smitty for telling us all about your mom's Blogiversary and how we can win that fabulous meowterial =^..^= We are just as glad as you are that your mom decided to start flogging instead of losing her mind - believe it or not, we love to read her flogs :*)
Ah yes, lucky us - 5 years of Car Patches - Cats and Quilts! Purrficly blissful!
Congratulations on 5 yrs. How many posts? Aren't cats wonderful? I am still missing a foot to my sewing machine. Hope he didn't swallow it.
Happy 5th anniversary! I think I've been following for almost four years. Always LOVE your cats!
Yummy bundle indeed! I follow you in my wordpress reader. I used to have a purrty tuxedo cat myself named Angel.
Congrats on another flogaversary! Five years is a purrrty long time in cat years!
Congratulations! Five years is a lot of words I'm glad you decided to share them with us :)
I'm happy you have so many words to share! ;) I'm a very twisted follower on Bloglovin. Thanks for the opportunity to win that pretty bundle!

Congratulations on hanging by a toenail from that cat perch! Blogging with your cats is so fun to read about. Your giveaway is gorgeous and so summery. Thanks!
Congrats on five years! That's wonderful--especially for those of us that get to read the result of the flash and mutter. Thanks!
Wow, Gracie and Smitty, your mom really has been flogging a long time....some of us are rather verbose, and flogging does help us. :)
Happy Flogiversary, Barbara!
I follow by email newsletter. I really enjoy your quilts and your cat pictures. Congrats on 5 years.
Gotta love Smitty and Gracie and their devious.... um I mean great ideas!!!! I bet Uno will be a bit skeptical when he is invited over... maybe some tuna??
I follow by email:)

Please click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
A very Happy Blogaversary! I've been a follower for quite a while and I especially love your go for it attitude which gives me inspiration to do the same and of course the glorious cats and the bird cam and the recipes and your travels. I guess you can tell everything really. Thanks for the fun and many years more. Patrica @ Dogwood Lane Rambles
( Pssst, Gracie, I have a whole case of tuna if you have your mom pick my name. )
Um, Barbara, happy blogaverssay to you! Your blog is the first thing I look for each morning while I drink that first cup of coffee. Thanks for starting my day in such a lovely way.
Congratulations and Happy Blogaversay! I follow you on Bloglovin and enjoy the tidbits about your life in an area I think is just beautiful! As I am on the other side of the country from you it is so interesting to see your garden adventures and I live vicariously through your posts about Smitty and Gracie. Thanks for sharing your life with us all.
Excellent job, Smitty & Gracie! Spooky and Misty are feeling the challenge to write about their mom after I showed it to them. Meow! Congratulations, Barb!
My kitty, Allie, is in love with Smitty. "What a hunk" were her exact words. We both congratulate you on your fifth blogaversary and thank you for this wonderful giveaway!
Meow! That looks like a purty good giveaway!
Thank you for taking the time to write your blog. I enjoy it very much! The kitty adventures always put a smile on my face.
Lovely bundle! I follow with bloglovin. Thanks for the chance to win!

I always have at least 2 cats watching and "helping" me when I'm laying out quilt blocks. They seem to think it's a giant puzzle and they want to "play", too. They are so helpful! LOL!
Congrats on your blogiversary! Five years is a long time for cats; they take no notice of time unless it has something to do with 1) nap time or 2) food.
I remember finding your blog because of the gorgeous "Ladies Dancing" quilt you created and donated to the AAQI. I was so taken with that quilt that I dug around until I located your brand new blog. Hard to believe it's been only five years... Feels more like ten !~!
You bet I'm a follower. I'm awfully glad Smitty found his way home in time for the party--I'm still a bit shaken and cranky thinking of you calling for him in the middle of the night until he sauntered home. If there are whiskers that need tugging...
I have been a follower for a couple of years now. I like your humor and style of writing/blogging/flogging. Happy 5th blog/flog-aversary.

Congratulations on your blogaversary. No whisker pulling, I enjoy seeing your kitty antics!
Love your kitties too! I miss my kitty so much. He left us in June. Thanks for the giveaway! Love your ideas! Helen G. hrglover@hotmail.com
Well Smitty, do you deserve to go to a party after being out so late the other night?? You will need to be purrfectly behaved until then and maybe Gracie needs to keep you in line. 5 years of flogging is something to celebrate so your mum deserves a good party.
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary! My kitties do not understand why I cut up their fabric either!
Happy blogerversary! I follow on bloglovin. The bundle looks gorgeous! Emilyste7ens at gmail dot com
I do furlow you, although I don't usually have time to paws and leave a comment. The purrize furbrics look purrfect I must say. Is the giveaway open to purrple who live in the UK? I hope so.
I love your blog and I try and read each one to see what lovely projects you are working on and of course to see what your darling kitties are up to! Thanks for sharing the great photos of Sister's I would love to see it in person someday, but until then I can enjoy the photos! Congratulations on your blog's 5th anniversary!!!
I follow your blog by email.
My email is: bestbelle2010@aol.com
Thank you!
Hey Smitty and Gracie you look great in your purdy hats. Let your Mom enjoy her little purdy. I'm sure she will give you some treats too. A blogiversary is a time to celebrate.
Love your blog and Smitty too! Congrats on 5 years!
I follow you with feedly and probably some other social media too :)
Gracie & Smitty, please relay my congratulations on your Mom's 5 year blog-iversary! She's always such a fun and interesting read. I've been a bit inconsistent in reading lately, but when I get done with duties up here, I'll be home and reading regularly again.
You two sure are the life of any party :)
I am a follower, and I'll settle for being a twisted kind this year :)
Happy blogiversary to all three party animals.
Gracie and Smitty, I love reading your mom's words and enjoy seeing the results of all those flashes. I'm with you Gracie, about those oysters, give me the tuna any day!
Congrats Barbara on your 5th Blogiversary! I am a happy follower in a few of the mentioned categories, especially the old and twisted! :-)
Love your blog and all the activities at the ranch! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on reaching 5 years of blogging. Yours is one of the best of all the blogs I read. If you are not making me laugh you are showing me something beautiful or tasty that you have made. Thanks for giving me something that is always interesting to read. Smitty and Gracie did a great job today.
Congratulations Barbara! Your posts invariably make me smile! this one is no exception!
