And The Winner Is...

COWBOY"S SWEETHEART!

I am following a blog that I found when I went to:  www.The Scrappy Apple Yard.com.  I have enjoyed following the blog of a fellow quilter who designs patterns, has a shop, makes quilts, goes to shows!  I am impressed and awed.  She said she was having a drawing and if any of the blog followers wanted their name put "in the hat" to indicate such.  She said she had picked a winner and the rest of us were a little sad.  AND THEN, she posted on my blog since the first person did not respond, my name was drawn!  Blessings for me!  We had quite a time making an e-mail connection, but finally got it done.

I receive the package yesterday and what a gift box!!  There were four yards of material, three fat quarters, 1/4 of material, plus "goodies" of all types.  I had best show the pictures!

I wish I could make that a little closer, but isn't that the cutest shadow box for a quilter girl??  I just love it!

The Christmas fabric is glorious and  I just need a pattern...ha!  All my quilting friends know I am a pattern girl and I don't deviate much.  Some of us are like that and I have friends that think out of "that box" and they try to stretch my mind occasionally.  It doesn't usually hurt me either. (Right Running, Quilting, Ranch Wife?)

I didn't take the notions out of the packages, but there are so many cute buttons and add-ons.  Isn't the quilting book cute?  See the snow flakes in the package at the top of the book?

Rosie O'Grady, this is to show you, I may be related...  All my gifts were packed in strips of fabric.  I could not bring myself to throw them away.  Surely there is a use for them.  Maybe I will recycle for packing, but for right now they are in my sewing room in a bag...  See how we are...

Many thanks John'aLee for the gifts!
