Happy March Giveaway Because I Need A Favour…

01/03/2012

So, it’s nearly 1 March. That means my Google Friend Connect is going bye bye as soon as they realise I’m not a Blogger blog. I refuse to get sucked in to more social media (Google+), so I’m politely begging you for a favour.

If you follow via GFC, I’d be very grateful if you’d do something for me (and there is a payoff) – could you ‘Unfollow’ me from GFC, then re-follow me using one of these feeds. My favourite is the RSS feed:

Subscribe in a reader

as it allows me to easily keep track of what you’re seeing and how many of you are seeing it. You won’t notice any change in your Reader by doing this – I’ll still plop in there every weekday, whether you want to see me or not. 🙂 Here’s the benefit to you – I’m offering a giveaway below AND if I can keep track of you easily via RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, I can ask for BIGGER GIVEAWAY prizes from sponsors. So it’s in your best interest to do it!

If you want a total change, there’s always BlogLovin’:

bloglovin

You can also subscribe via email (through feedburner)
And of course you can like me on Facebook and follow on Twitter too. And naturally I’m on Flickr as well.

Now here’s the wee giveaway alluded to above. It is a 5 FQ Bundle in marbled shades – basically a good stash builder. Here’s how you can enter:

  1. If you’ve Unfollowed via GFC and signed up to get the RSS feed shown above, tell me – that’s one entry
  2. If you’re already following via RSS or BlogLovin’ or even email, don’t worry – just tell me you are and that’s your reward entry
  3. You get another entry just for being nice. Just leave a comment 🙂
  4. Bonus – if you want to Tweet or Facebook about the giveaway, leave me a comment letting me know you did – there are helpful buttons below!

The giveaway will run till next Thursday, 8 March 2012 and will be decided using And The Winner Is… plugin. International entries are fine – I’ll send anywhere.

  5. I follow you in Feedburner and have added the RSS feed. I tried to Unfollow you in Google connect, but I was Added instead!

  6. I just unfollowed via GFC and am now following you through RSS (although I actually have you on my blog roll too, that’s how I really read your posts!).

  9. Right I have unfollowed in GFC and started following in “Subscribe in a Reader” I think I have done it right!! Linda

  13. I guess I get a bonus since I couldn’t delete you on GFC but I’ve been following on RSS. Hope I did this right.

  18. I visit your page regularly but Facebook really helps me keep up with your posts. I hope everything works out with this change. Good luck.

  21. I have fallen way behind on the QAL but hope to get time to finish my blocks soon…

  22. Ok, I’ve unfollowed…and will try our RSS feed…although I don’t usually read in my reader 🙂 Beautiful fabrics!! would love to win them.

  23. I “unfollowed” you from GFC. Wow – funny how “hard” it is (psych-wise) to unfollow a blog I really like, even though I know I’ll receive notice of posts in other ways! LOL

    I added a RSS feed!

  24. I also follow via the “receive through email” option. I suppose I’ll receive 2 notices now so I’ll be sure to not miss anything! 🙂

  26. I’m following you on bloglovin right now. Are you able to track me from there?

    I just switched over from Google Reader; I like this new one a lot, actually.

  28. I truely love to ready your blog….thank you for sharing your inspiration!!

  29. I joined up with you in RSS feed when I first started following you, I also follow with BlogLovin

  30. I look forward to seeing your blog pop up in my feed every day. Its one of the last ones I read, just so I can take my sweet time 🙂

  36. I follow you through Blog lovin’, but really I follow you from the link I have at the bottom of my blog since I read that more.

  37. I already changed to email when you suggested it a while ago!
    Do I still need to unfollow you in GFC?

  46. Thank you very much for the reminder! I thought I had switched you over already, but apparently not. Whew! Good thing I also get your updates via FB so I don’t miss any goodies you post. 🙂

  51. I already follow you on Bloglovin, but I also just subscribed to the feed. That way I won’t miss a blog!

  57. And you may already know that I tweeted about this – maybe I should do something like this on my blog too seeing as I’m not a blogger blog and have no intention of doing Google+ either…

  62. I follow you in GFC and my RSS feed. Do I need to pitch one? Will the transfer mess up my RSS? (Jeebus…I hate that they’re doing this..)

  68. Would not want to miss you. I have signed up with Google reader. Thanks for a chance to win more fabric. We all need more. Ha ha

  69. #3: just a nice word .. well nice words – YAY an international one … I guess I will keep clicking the ads.

  70. Now I’m a bit confused about all this. When you first mentioned the removal of GFC, I moved you to my subscriptions, you still pop up in my google reader. You still will wont you?? I don’t get RSS, I tried it a while ago and couldn’t work it.

  71. I follow you via bloglovin and am also doing the quilt along (my first) although I’m not quite along more quilt a little bit behind everyone else.

  75. I don’t have my own blog but just love reading everyone’s inspiration via email and the google reader. Keep up the wonderfulness!!

  91. Acabo de aterrizar en su blog ,parece que llegue en un buen momento ,me suscribí por correo electrónico. Le daré el almuerzo a mis hijas y luego volveré ,parece que hay mucho para ver.

  94. I stopped following you via GFC a while back and started following on Bloglovin’. I also get an email and am part of the Networked Blog (for Facebook).

  99. Got you on bloglovin’ and also on RSS, plus you are in my blogroll on my blog so I guess I’m officially a stalker! 😉 Rae x

  102. I’ll post here too even though I posted this morning on FB. I’ve done all this already. Don’t worry, your loyal followers aren’t going to lose you. 😉

  108. Okay, I was a little nervous doing the stop following via GFC and then signing up to follow via RSS reader… I hope it works! Have no real clue how to check!

  111. Here’s my nice entry: I really enjoy your blog posts – always entertaining and inspiring! Thanks!

  115. Looks like I’m already following via something other than the Google thing; not sure which one but I think I sorted that a while back

  120. AND – Posted to Facebook! Get your emails to remind me to check your blog and will tweet it in a sec. I think I’m drowning in technology.

  126. I follow you via bloglovin’; I love having your updates arrive in my In Box.

  127. I have no idea how I follow you; I read your blog in Google Reader. I guess I’ll find out!

  138. I’ve tried to unsubscribe with GFC, but it seems unavailable the past 2 days. Not sure what’s up with that… But I did subscribe with Google Reader.

  145. Thanks for such a great blog. I always find so much inspiration in your posts. =)

  146. I already follow you with the RSS feed. I would be very upset if if became to follow you along on your quilting journeys.

  150. I just started following your blog and I enjoy reading it soooo much. Thanks for all the inspiration (and a chance to win)!

  158. I been following you via BlogLovin when I heard about the GFC thing. I’m loving BlogLovin. They have an app for my iPhone and it’s just so easy.
