It was time to pick a winner. I have to say I sure was surprised at how fast I got to 5oo views, but, I was also kind of disappointed in only 5 entries. I don't need to use the random generator for this. I just wrote eveyone's name on a piece of paper and put them into a bowl.
I had to stir them up. Did you get dizzy?
Then I had to grab one.
Drumroll.........
Oh wait. have to tellyou about Monday night. A small group of quilter's met at Michelle's house.
We talked quilting, currents events, health situtations and ate the most wonderful lemon cake. We had a small show and tell.
Kay joined in to a Shoebox Swap through our local quilt shop. Each person picks their fabics and fills a shoebox. The shoebox gets passed around to 12 other people during a 12 month time period. When you recieve a shoebox you make a 12 1/2" block with the fabric the person has chosen. At the end of 12 months you have 12 blocks to finish into a quilt. Here is Kay's....
She is still working on the binding. Isn't it beautiful? I loved the colors she choose.
Sharon is making a quilt as you go qiult. Here is what she has done so far. Again, I love the fabrics.
Mary was busy also.
Isn't that adorable? I love it.
She also made 2 quilts using the Jelly Roll race pattern. She cut her own strips and sewed them as you would in the jelly roll races.
It was a nice evening.
So on with the drumroll...............
THE WINNER IS:

I wish I could have choosen each and every one of you. Maybe, sometime down the road I will do this again and then you can win! ;)
Thanks for playing along.

That's me. I won! It amazing. Its sort of an ongoing personal joke that I don't ever win. Even at the guild meeting where everyone's ticket got called, mine didn't! I can no longer say "I have never won ANYTHING". Thanks Paula!

DeleteLove the idea for the 12.5" shoebox blocks. We have a tiny guild, and are always looking for things to do. We've had block exchanges (given several months to get those done), Round Robin, block lotto. Thanks for the idea. Kay's quilt is turning out great. Congrats to Michelle for winning. BTW, are you from Texas? That is our home state (tho we don't live there at the moment, waaa!!!!), but our families are still there.
