Diamonds Table Runner Pattern Winner- Congrats, Kathy!

I got a nice surprise yesterday when I learned that I won a giveaway on another blog (see the previous post on the Close to my Heart giveaway).  Then I remembered that I forgot to select a winner for my OWN giveaway!  BAD Sue!

So I went right to the trusty random number generator and asked it to select a winner of the Diamonds are a Quilter's Best Friend table runner pattern.  Congrats to  Kathe E. from Dubuque, Iowa.  Kathy's blog name cracks me up.  It's called Sprinkles and Sparkles and Everyday Crap.  Thanks so much to all who entered.  There will be a new giveaway soon, so keep watching!

I'll be posting my progress on making this table runner in another post.  Sadly, the remaining patterns have sold and they are now gone.

Tradewinds Pattern Winner- Toni Anne!

Congrats, Toni Anne!

You win the Tradewinds pattern!  I'll get in contact with you and get it shipped right out!

Thank you to all who entered, and a BIG WELCOME to the new followers of this blog!  I hope you enjoy reading along.

I'll post a new giveaway tomorrow that will run for two weeks, so be watching!

Giveaway Winner- Congrats, Sandra!

OOps.... June 1st came and went and I forgot to pick a winner.  The trusty random integer generator tells me that Sandra from Utah is the winner of the Pansy Faced Pooch pattern.  Yea Sandra!  I'll send you an email to get your address so I can get your pattern on its way.  Sandra blogs at Sandra's Craft Corner.  Check it out.  I just took a peek.... oooo.... her Spiral Lone Star is gorgeous!

I'll post another giveaway soon!

We have a winner!  Wendy, from Alabama, is the lucky winner of the Apple a Day pattern.  Wendy has several blogs- she's a very prolific blogger and quilter.  Wendy- I'll send you an email and we'll get your pattern on its way!

If you didn't win, and you just HAVE to have this pattern, you can find it on my website.

I'll try to get another giveaway posted soon.






I hope those of you in the US had a nice holiday weekend.  It was Thanksgiving, the start of Chanukah, and the official start of the crazy holiday shopping season.  Sheesh!  I think I need to get started with my shopping.  I'm late this year.  But the fun thing is that I have a grand daughter to shop/sew/knit for this year.  FUN!  So what did I do this weekend?  I started knitting a hat for MY baby (who is a grown man).  LOL  I'll show you pics when it's done.

Giveaway Winner!

WOW!  I can't believe how many customers scooped up Bigfork Bay Cotton Company patterns and kits today!  I'm not planning to re-stock most of these items, so these great prices are limited to the quantity on hand.  You snooze, you loose!

So.... on to the giveaway.  For the month of June, we took entries for the drawing to win 1/4 pound of dried lavender buds (from my farm, of course!)

Isn't this a pretty picture?  My friend, Stephanie, took this photo of my sachets in her yarn basket.  Her yarn is great-smelling and bug-free!  (Not that she had bugs before.... but lavender does naturally keep the creepy crawlies away).

The winner for the June giveaway is..... drum roll, please...... Nanbon (blogger name) from Milton, Florida.  CONGRATS!  I'll send you an email so I can get your address and get your fragrant package on it's long journey from Oregon to Florida!

Our harvest is beginning tomorrow.  We'll be cutting in the early morning hours so the lavender will be nice and fresh for it's trip to our first farmers' market of the season.  I'll have pictures soon.  We'll also be starting to ship fresh bundles next week.  I'll post about that soon.

I'll leave you with a few photos of our field that my friend, Kathy D took last summer.  I'll take some current pictures and post them soon.
