Traveling Stash and some wins





 











Wow! I have been so lucky lately...... I won another Traveling Stash and a few other goodies, like this pretty red fabric and the Riley Blake Bake Sale. I also won this sweet pincushion and awesome wine charm.
 
 
Just look at what came in my Traveling Stash this time!

 
Lots of wonderful fabric including a large stack of charm squares, some koala and kangaroo fabric and some hearts ready to be ironed on and appliqued. There are also a couple quilt patterns and several embroidery patterns, some purse handles, a 3 inch Kanzashi flower maker and a 5 inch hexi ruler ! (I wish this had come before I bought a hexi ruler for the hexi hop!)  I decided to keep the Kanzashi flower maker, a quilt pattern and a couple pieces of fabric:


 
 
 I added into the box a couple quilt patterns and some fabric:

Fabric and other item Guidelines

Important Things to Remember

My first Winner!

This is SEW much fun! I truly enjoyed the Bowls with Borders blog hop. I tried my hand at paper piecing and I am hooked. This is the first time I've tried a giveaway. It took a while to pick a winner since we were having internet problems, then I had to figure out the Random Number Generator and how to make my comments be numbered.  The RNG was easy enough to install once my sister told me where to find it on the internet. The numbering of the comments, not so easy. My DH did help me and it appeared to be working in "design blog" mode. So I generated a number and found the winner. Then my DH shut down the computer for the night before it saved the numbering system. Uggh. Well, at least I had written down the winners name...... Maybe I can get DH to help me again for the future giveaways and SAVE it this time.
Well, without further ado...the winner is:  Terry @ a quilting blog.
Congrats to Terry. I have sent you an email requesting your address.
