My Winnings!

My Winnings!

My winnings arrived today!  Last week I won on Threadtales blog and I thought I was winning a book but a Jelly Roll of Kaffe Fassett fabric was in the package, too.  Wow!  Was I surprised and happy!  Now I’m excited to plan another project!

Check out Threadtales for machine quilting ideas and more!

Have you won anything lately?  Good luck!

What’s on my bed – the $16,000 quilt!

What’s on my bed – the $16,000 quilt!

 

Shortly after I starting “real” quilting, I joined a block of the month class at Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop.  As I was making this quilt, I also finished some other smaller lap quilts that I quilted on my Janome.  I didn’t mind using my domestic machine for smaller quilts, but at this time I was introduced to the world of longarm quilting machines and you know the rest of the story!  It’s because of this quilt, I added a APQS Millennium to my sewing machine collection!

It’s quilted with a simple meander and Superior King Tut variegated thread.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton.  It washes beautifully and it’s on our bed year round.  When the winter’s get cold, we add just add another quilt!

Thanks to Bonnie at Quiltville for starting the linky party – “What’s on your bed“, it’s been fun!!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

And the winners are….

And the winners are….

It’s time to draw the winners of my  Blog Hop Giveaway!

A big thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway and “hi” to my new followers!   I was sure the purse/tote pack was leading but in the end the quilt pack had 3 more comments.

My selecting system was very low tech, (writing all the names on a slip of paper), I had fun re-reading the comments and visiting the comment makers blogs!

And I discovered a new site stat that shows what country my blog visitors are in.   Last week, my blog was visited by readers from 30 different countries!  Isn’t that amazing!

My spring break visiting daughter drew the winners and…..(drum roll….)

The winner of the purse pack is:

Kathy A –   “#1 purse pack would be GREAT! I hope I win! thanks”

The winner of the quilt pack is:

Mary –  “I’d love to win the quilt patterns!Thanks for the chance.”

Check your emails!

Hope you had a great weekend, I had a fun and crazy time with family!  So tomorrow I’ll be back to stitchin’ !

Thanks!

Oops!! And a Thank-you!

Oops!! And a Thank-you!

A big thank you to Kristen at Ten Quilts for informing me that my comment for her giveaway showed as a “no-reply” blogger!  Oops!!!  I don’t know how it happened but my email had been “removed” from my Blogger profile.  Thanks to Kristen, I have fixed it but my earlier Blog Hop comments are probably still labeled as “no reply”.  Oh well, it happens!

Another thank you to everyone who has entered my Blog Hop giveaway!  There is still time to enter!   My daughter is visiting from college and she will draw the winners on Sunday!  I will notify the winners by email ASAP!

Hope you have a great weekend planned, I will be celebrating with visiting family!  I might get some sewing or LAQ mixed in there, too.  Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !  Linda
