In Retrospect #Giveaway

Howdy y'all! Crystal here and I can feel the excitement building for our birthday celebration.

There's nothing like milestones to make you want to look back and see how far you've come. When Jodie Wolfe and I collaborated to start this group blog, I had no idea we'd still be at it four years later. Our line up of contributors has changed some during the years (you'll be seeing a visit from one of our past members this month 😊), but we're still going strong.

Another great thing about birthday parties is a chance to step away from the norm and have a little fun. So...instead of a Woven Wednesday craft post or recipe, here's a bit of fun for y'all to get your name in the hat  for a kindle ebook by yours truly (winner's choice of title).



Below you'll see a list of our top 10 posts for the 4 years STT has been active. (Pay attention these are important!) To increase your chances of winning, you'll need to visit (or revisit) each one to track down letters to answer a riddle. You'll find the instructions in the Rafflecopter giveaway below. :)

Before you decide this isn't for me, there are other ways to enter the drawing besides answering the riddle. You can answer the following question in the comment section below:

What is your favorite (or one of your favorite) posts from your visits to Stitches Thru Time?


Have fun y'all!

  1. Post with Laura V. Hilton has been one of my favorites, along with meeting new authors and the inspirational Mondays. Actually, I have enjoyed every post since I discovered STT which is going on 2 years. Thank you for the riddle--now to take the name to discover the answer. Thank you, Crystal.

  4. I am torn between choosing just one. I loved Peeking Into History because of my love for history and the interview with Ruth Ligan Herne was done before I had discovered STT. Thanks for letting us revisit!
