And the winners are…

December 15, 2012 by maverickquilts Leave a Comment

Well, I decided since you were all so sweet (and I really didn’t want to do three different drawings) that I would pick three winners for the free Art of the Quilt Calendar Birthday Giveaway, as the publisher had sent me three free copies to give away. And then the lucky winners could all receive them before Christmas (just in case they MIGHT be giving it as a gift)!

I felt a lot of pressure about picking the numbers, so I consulted my friend Gigi Google and she picked for me.

If you have your microscope out you’ll see that numbers 11, 6 & 9 won the drawing!

My detectiving indicates that means that Hilda (featured in this blog), Cyndy and Cassandra are the WINNERS!, Congratulations ladies! I will mail them to you on Monday!

But WAIT! There’s a bit of a mystery!

When Joanie asked me where she could get the calendars, I went and asked Gigi Google and she showed me this photo:

Well, that’s not the calendar I have with that title. But I checked out the photos on the back and lo and behold…

My three quilts are in this calendar, as well. And it’s printed by the same company.

Something very fishy is goin on here… How did some quilts get removed and replaced with others? Oh, I wish I knew the story behind this!

Please hold as I detective this case!

Oh, and by the way, the calendar can be found at Wooden Gate Quilts, Barnes & Noble and at my friend Gigi’s home.

Tonight it’s a nuthatch. 
Fitting for my current level of sanity. 😝

Instagram post 2188795262621706576_194116183 So Thankful for lots of family time this past week. 
It was very poignant to see this guy and his beautiful partner in their own new home! 
Lauren brought out this quilt which I made for my nephew John when he was six years old! 
Now he is all grown up and even has his own fur baby!! I made the quilt with pocket sections of Big Uncle Steve’s pants. 
John told me that when he was afraid at night he would stash his pocketknife in one of the pockets - just in case! 😝
He said he slept with the quilt for 15 years and it’s still in good shape!
How sweet is all of that?!?
Back then I was still afraid of triangles, so I made an inner border of prairie points instead of piecing it. 😋
