Blog Hop Winners!

Here's Himself choosing two lucky winners from my blog's giveaway in conjunction with The Quilting Gallery's Celebrate Back to School blog hop...

Thanks to everyone who participated, left such nice comments and decided to follow my blog.  I hope you'll stick around and experience even more of this family's craziness with an occasional quilt post thrown in for good measure.  I'm very sorry I didn't get to personally reply to each comment.  Having never participated before, I really underestimated the number of visitors I'd have.  Mea culpa!

That said, without further ado, I give you the two lucky winners...

Lisa Lisa wins Bundle #1

Ruth Ann wins Bundle #2

I've sent each of you ladies an email notifying you of your win!  Congratulations!

If I haven't heard from either lady within 24 hours, I'll choose another two names.

Thanks again for visiting and playing along.  I hope everyone had a blast on the hop and look forward to doing this again soon!

Happy quilting, y'all!

Last Call for Hoppers!

Comments will close at 2pm CST for Come On Baby Let's Do the Hop in conjunction with The Quilting Gallery's Celebrate Back to School blog hop!  You've got 8 minutes...GOOD LUCK!

Come On Baby, Let's Do The Hop!...(And Giveaway)

This drawing is now closed.  Thanks for participating :)

Michelle over at Quilting Gallery has put together yet another spectacular opportunity to blog hop and I'm so excited!  This is my first-ever time to participate and give away some really awesome stuff!  If you've never visited her site, you're really missing out.  There are weekly themed contests, free patterns and, of course, blog hops.  Go on...go check it out!  Just click on the blog hop button over on the right side of my blog.

The theme of this hop is Celebrate Back to School Days!  I don't know about you, but I was so ready for the Co-Defendants to hit the books again that I could hardly contain my excitement...they went back on Wednesday.  School may mean homework, projects and, in my case, the occasional call from the principal (smile...sigh), but it also means an hour and a half all to myself between the end of the work day and the end of the school day.

The arrival of fall also signals that it's almost time for my mom and I to head to an annual quilt retreat hosted by our friend, Nancy.  Starting Thursday at noon until Sunday at 3pm, our only responsibility is to quilt.  It doesn't hurt that the retreat center also has an in-house quilt shop!  Meals are made and cleaned up after by someone else...and I get to use the restroom ALL BY MYSELF!    It's a real hardship, but I'll endeavor to persevere.

So, now for the reason you're really here... I know it's not just my charm (although, that is a bonus)!

I have TWO bundles of awesome up for grabs.

Bundle #1 is a copy of One Yard Wonders by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins and one yard of fabric called 'Marcia' from Michael Miller.

Bundle #2 is a pattern called Charm Party Tote designed by Penny Sturges, a 'Desired Things' charm pack from Robyn Pandolph, and one yard of fabric called 'Olivia' from Gudrun Erla for Red Rooster.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, what do I want from you?  Funny you should ask...

Leave me ONE comment.  Tell me which bundle you like and that gets you entered in the drawing.  As a thank you to my faithful blog followers, tell me in your one comment that you follow my blog and I'll give you another chance to win.  Simple right?  Remember, you only have to leave ONE comment. 

*If you're a 'no-reply blogger', you MUST give me a way to contact you.  I'll post a reply to your comment one time to let you know I need contact info.  If you don't reply, I can't include you in the drawing.  Sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.   

*Yes, I'll ship international so don't be shy about entering if you don't leave in the U.S.A.  Contrary to what my children may tell you, I'm not cheap.

*The hop ends September 3rd and comments for my blog will close at 2 pm CST.  I'll draw names and post them on the blog no later than Wednesday September 5th.

*Leaving multiple comments won't work in your favor...please don't do it!

Josephine wishes you 'Good luck!'

No jumping through hoops here, 'cause let's face it y'all, I'm just too lazy for all that.  And besides, it's still too hot to jump...but it's never too hot to hop!

Happy hopping, y'all!
