Post 300 Giveaway .....

In celebration of post number 300 I think we could have a little giveaway. I have a gift voucher for a '6 month membership to The Quilt Show' you can find the home page here .  The gift certificate is to be redeemed by February 18th by a new member.

So, if you would like a chance of winning this fabulous prize I would like you help me choose a name for the friendly Partridge who is still coming to visit me at my kitchen window....my DH has told me that 'chuck chuck' is not a suitable name for such a pretty Partridge......this is a two step process.... read the instructions, I need your name, your email address and a name for the Partridge....






Step one - Leave a comment telling me your chosen name for the Partridge.

Step two – Leave a second comment letting me know you are a follower or a new follower.
You can comment anonymously but you need to leave your name and email so I can contact you. If you use your blogger account please make sure you are not a ‘no-reply blogger’.

The giveaway will close on Sunday February 3rd 2013 at 12 MN GMT, that will be in the early hours of the morning in the US, early evening in OZ.....but it doesn't matter where you live just so long as you have an email address. A name will be chosen and the redemption number for 'The Quilt Show' membership will be sent by email to the lucky winner, so come on let's see how imaginative you can be????

If, for any reason I cannot contact you within 48 hours, the gift certificate number will be emailed to the next lucky winner?

  3. How about Charley? My brother changed his name from Charles to Charley and then to Chuck. This little bird could do the same... only in reverse! If it is a she-bird, Charley could be short for Charlene! :)

  6. I'm so not good with naming things! All I could think of was a pear tree! (We don't have partridges in Australia so this is my only reference to the word!)

  10. what a nice give away!! How about Scott? I have a brother named Scott and my mom would have to kick his behind outside (cuz he always wanted to be indoors). Instead of playing, he waiting by the kitchen window peering though in hopes he could come back in soon.
    Not to mention..Scotland...Scott, Scotland...wink wink :)

  14. Congratulations on your 300th post! Well I don't know about the partridges in Scotland but the ones we have here are really stupid! They stand on the edge of the road and as you drive by they dart out into traffic! But ours are not as pretty as yours so why not call her Princess the Partridge...that like to peer through the window pane!

  16. Since she is such a pretty Scottish partridge, how about Tish, as in Scot - Tish, lol

  18. Love to watch birds.....your little friend is wonderful and has such pretty markings. I think I'd call her/him? Pepper

  19. Hum, I have long favored "people names" for animals. (The dogs I have been allowed to name were Fred and Gracie.) And he seems to be a Gilbert to me. Should he turn out to be a she, I think Gilda would do. Such a pretty bird at any rate, and quite fearless. Sara (ohsirius7@hotmail.com)

  20. Long an admirer of your skills, fan of your photos, and fellow horsewoman. Follower of your blog? Of course! Sara (ohsirius7@hotmail.com)

  21. What a nice give away! For me it´s a Penny. This name come in my mind, when seeing the partridge.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Great fun Kay! thanks for the brain teaser this morning :O)
    Well - the only birdie type boy name I could think of was Peregrin - but that might give the poor thing an identity complex whenever you called that out or it might become a nervous wreck because it thought you were warning it that it was being attacked from the air ........ hehehe
    So - I'll go for *Pippin* instead ......
    (because in LOTR - Peregrin Took was also known as Pippin!) xx

  23. If a she, Betty; if a he, Charlie. No disrespect intended to the Queen and the Prince.

  27. Ok, I am going for Bernard, after the creator of the TV show from the 70's, The Partridge Family. :). What a neat visitor to have right at your own window.

  30. Patrick the partridge or is he Peregian since that is the beach I am staying at.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Always used to drop in , now a follower. So I can keep up with the adventures of "The Partridge Family".

  32. How about Willow? That's what came to me as I looked at him.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And I am a new follower but I do love your stuff on the APQS forum!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Comes to visit you at your kitchen window? Needs to be called "Mooch" cause he/she is obviously waiting for something tasty!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well, since we don't know if it is a girl or boy we should perhaps select a neutral name. I think Chick Chick would be a sweet! I am Sylvia Blissett from the USA and I am an APQS forum member where I see your eye candy and love it. My email address is sylve bliss at comcast dot net. Just close up the spaces and use the @ and you have it.

  36. Hi KAy,


    My first thought for a name is "Bright Eyes" as his eyes are very knowing and looking straight at you. He is indeed a beautiful bird.

    I'am a new follower on your blog but do see your comments and photos on APQS.

  38. CindyT here...that is definitely Peek-a-Boo the partidge bird. Can't you just imagine saying "Peek a boo?" every time you see it? I thought so. :)

  39. CindyT here again...I've been following your blog for quite some time and love the eye candy! Cindy Thompson's email addy is chrometopquilts at tvecwb dot com. (at is @, and dot is . and no spaces.)

  40. How about Princess Pretty Partridge? It is a mouthful, but the initials are a subtle reminder that if we want to quilt well, we need to P.P.P!

    ReplyDelete
  41. What a beautiful bird! Here are my choices: Astrid for a Girl and Oscar for a boy.. Happy choosing:)

  42. Kay,I check out your blog often and see lots of amazing inspiration, but today I became a new follower. Looking forward to staying updated now on a regular basis.

  43. I am now following you and your awesome blog all the way from australia:)

  44. When I was young we would watch a television show called "The Partridge Family", about a family that sang and had a band. The star of the show was David Cassidy - of course he was soooo dreamy - so I think you should name him Cassidy. You could call him "Cass" for short. I don't follow your blog regularly, but see your posts on MQR. I love your work!

  45. I didn't want to be influenced by other names so I'm (im)patiently waiting to read the other suggestions 'til I post this. Peekaboo! She's coming to your window and peering in playing Peekaboo with you.

    I'm relatively new. I need to figure out how the whole following thing works. "Met" you over on the MQR forums. How cool is that? Someone from NC, USA gets to "meet" someone they would never have been able to meet all the way over in Scotland ... all because of the internet?

  48. Now, how can you call it anything but ALAN???



    (PS I don't want to enter the giveaway but just could not resist naming Alan the Partridge....)

    ReplyDelete
  49. When I was growing up, we had a friend whose first name was Royal. I think that would be a great name for the partridge!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Bell!!! The siloette of the partridge peering into the window is a bell shape. A short and sweet name that is easy to type and pronounce. She/he comes ringing at your window.
