Giveaway Winners!
(I haven't forgotten, really. I've just been a little distracted.)

The winner of the first bundle o' scraps, picked by RGN, is Kritta22, who wrote:
I have started cutting my scraps into 4.5 scraps for a scrappy star quilt I'm trying to make. It might take me a few to get there but it's fun!
Also I want to make a ticker tape quilt. That uses little scraps!!
Thanks for the giveaway! I'm off to read more of your blog.
Good luck with all the change in your world this year!!

I think it's a great idea to pre-cut scraps to a certain size and have them ready to go for a future project!

It was a tough call for blogger's choice, but I have to go with I Plead Quilty! who wrote:
My scraps are immediately stuffed into one of two scrap drawers. Once it reaches critical mass (read here: I can't close or open the drawers any more) I bribe my daughter with a movie, sugar, cash, whatever it takes to sort them by color into large zip bags. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes not so much, but I get to keep sewing while she sorts for me.

Now why didn't I think of that before??

Congratulations to both!
- please send me a note via the contact link in the shop with your address, and I'll get these bundles packaged up this weekend and on their way!

And Thanks to all who took the time to leave a comment and offer my scraps a good home. I truly appreciate it!


n.b. The quilt above was made with scraps for the pinwheels and yardage for the sashing and back. Each pinwheel requires (2) 4 1/2" squares of a print and (2) 4 1/2" squares of the background.

And we have a winner!

The random number generator has picked Dawn!
Congratulations, Dawn! Please send me a note via the contact link in the shop with your mailing address and I'll get your goodies off to you ASAP.

Thanks to all for playing along!

Thanks to everyone that took the time to post a comment.  I really appreciate it, and was quite relieved to see that I am not the only one to be a bit "birth-date" challenged!

After several failed attempts to embed a random number generator into this post, I've given up and hope that you will take my word for it.   The RGN widget I originally posted allowed visitors to click the "winner" button and change the results!  Oops!    (I'm not sure how others have gotten this to work unless they run it off-line, take a screen shot, and crop the image down for post - which is what I've done previously - and just not in the mood for at this point.  If anyone knows a better way, please let me know!) 

At any rate, the number that came up the very first time the button was clicked was 4, which corresponds to Marilee's post, who was so kind to wish me the "best birthday ever".
Thank you Marilee!  - please send me a note via the "contact" form in the shop and let me know where to mail your fabric!

Although I could have just as easily drawn numbers from a hat, I decided to be all official and use a random number generator found online. Since this is my first-ever giveaway, and I'm not a consistent blogger to begin with, I'm not too surprised about the low turnout - and it gave all who left a comment a 33% chance of winning. Pretty good odds!
The lucky winner is VeronicaMade who said:
"I remember how my mom was always sewing matching outfits for me and my sisters when we were kids. We didn't appreciate them at the time, but now it means so much to me. My favorite designer is Denyse Schmidt."
While I don't have any Denyse Schmidt in my inventory to offer, I will find some other lovely fat quarters to include with the pattern magazine. Congrats Veronica! I'll be sending you an email soon to get your mailing address!
Thanks to all for playing!
