Just signed up for the newsletter also. Thanks for the giveaway

You are the winner of the beautiful fat quarters.

Ladies we didn't make our goal of 200 followers, but we will try again another time.  Thank you to all that entered.

We are off to a quilt retreat in Florida....I will post more when we get back.

Maria, I sent you an e-mail asking for your address.

This is so exciting and Brenda is going to up the ante...

We are so excited by the number of followers we are getting and all the wonderful comments.  You are so fabulous, all of you and I am desperately trying to visit all of you and become your follower.

Now the winner was supposed to be pulled today and announced tomorrow but when

 I stopped at Mama's Quilt Shop yesterday Brenda was checking the blog to see how many more visitors have stopped by and she made the comment she wished we could "hit" the 200 mark.  Followers that is!  My suggestion was "let's make it a little more exciting".

So we are going to give it 1 more day for you to get in on the winning....
....since you are being so generous to us...we are want to be generous to you....if we hit 200 followers we are going to add a second giveaway that is only for our followers....so tell your friends, your family, even strangers on the side of the road......

Brenda is giving away a "Lil Twister" ruler and 3 bright and fun fat quarters.  Now everyone knows that I love my "Lil Twister" and that I am constantly using it.  You can take two of these for the center and the other one for the border and you can make the cutest mug rug just like this one......

or this one.....

So we have just a little over 24 hours left before we draw our winner for the blog hop.  Let's get that number of followers up to 200 so that we can pull a second name out of the hat Saturday morning while we are having our coffee.  Good luck everyone and thanks again for totally overwhelming us!

We love you!

March 17th is not only St. Patrick's Day, it's National Quilting Day.  Mama's Quilt Shop is going to be hopping and if you miss out you will be green with envy.

We are participating in the Quilter's Blog Hop Party that Michelle has put together over at the The Quilting Gallery.

Brenda has generously offered this beautiful package of 20 gold and cream fat quarters to be given away.  And who can ever have enough of these colors to blend into a quilt?

So you ask....how...how do I get in on this giveaway?

It is so easy!

Just follow our blog! Leave one comment telling us that you're a follower or just became one. That's it!!  Now if you want a 2nd chance to win....jump on over to Mamas Quilt Shop and check out her website, sign up for her e-mail (you get a free quilt pattern) and come back and let me know you have been.

This giveaway is open until Friday, March 23rd.  We'll announce the winner on Saturday, March 24th!  That is after we all have breakfast, drink coffee and generally wake up.

Good Luck!

If you live close by, come on over!  Brenda will be doing demos all day Saturday, there are sales going on and we will have coffee, cold drinks and snacks.

Just look at this wall of sale fabrics.....we have been busy moving fabrics to the sale room to make room for all the beautiful new fabric that is arriving almost daily.

And she has 25% off kits....beautiful quilts!  See all those red dots....those are on sale!

These are some of them already made up....eye candy!

She has some other things up her sleeve, but she won't tell me what they are!

And the new fabric is to die for.....We have Fig Tree's new California Girl, Kathy Brown's new Abigail, Jason Yenter's Avalon, Michael Miller's Paw Prints, Moda's New Hello Luscious....just to name a few.....

Just need a charm pack, jelly roll or layer cake.....she has that too!

I want some of it all....I still have a few more surfaces I can put quilting fabric on!

We will be demo-ing the big and little Twister, the LeMoyne Star, Deb Tucker's Square 2 and V Block rulers....

She will be demonstrating the 1600 quilt..

I was so amazed by this one.....I bought fabric to make my own.

We have new patterns and books.

There are several of the regular patrons who will be on hand to answer your questions.
