giveaway: we have a winner!

Due to some comment happy-people, ahem, I couldn't go about this giveaway the way most do. With their fancy "random number generators" and such. Nope, we got a little old fashioned and pulled out the pen and paper.

So for those who would like to know that the contest was as fair as possible, we've documented the process...

All twenty names were painstaking written onto perfectly cut 1x2 inch pieces of paper. (That gave each you a 5% chance in case you like math.)

I interrupted Jim and Roxy in the middle of their movie to act as an impartial third party.

And the winner is... Susie who said, "WOW what a great quilt!! It has such Stella colors :-) You do such a great job and just whip them out with such ease. Count me in!!" Susie is the faithful mother of Crystal, a.k.a. the Circus, mother-in-law of of Jesse over at Muthering Heights, and has prayed our own little family through many separations, a deployment, and many years of wanting a baby. I couldn't be more thrilled to send this quilt to her!

Have a great weekend, all! See you on Monday.

giveaway: a quilt for you!

As a thank you for my loyal followers - a loyalty tested over the last few weeks, I know - I'm giving away a quilt. It's not a large quilt. Just shy of 30 inches square. But it's been made with lots of love. If you're into quilting details, scoot over to my Crafternoon post were I first introduced this quilt. I wasn't optimistic about it initially, but I've come to really like how it turned out. If you're interested, just leave a comment by Thursday midnight (MDT) on this post and I'll announce the winner on Friday. (I'm even happy to ship internationally.) Good luck!
