… giveaway winner is. . .

. . . #21 . . . & that is Debbie! Congratulations! (Debbie - please email me (acornquiltandgiftcompany@comcast.net) with your email address & last name & I will forward the info to Annie at the 'Quilting Stash' so she can contact you with the class information!)

It was so fun to get to read about what you all love about quilting. . . I wish I could have awarded you all a prize. Hopefully you, like me, will find the rewards of quilting are great no matter.

The comments were especially great to read as I am in the midst of the craziness (read: moderate panic) of the week or so before Quilt Market, & they helped me remember why I love this so! I'm not especially fond of the pre-Market crunch that comes every time. . . but I must admit that underneath it all, I'm pretty excited. This is the first Market where I will have a line of fabric (Celebration) being introduced . . . & I think that's why I wish there were more time. . . I'd love to make more projects with it for my booth. But, I will have several - (& there will be more in the Lecien booth) - & I plan to be releasing additional patterns using 'Celebration' in November & January as well. . . So stay tuned!

I took the last of the quilts for my booth over to my quilter's yesterday. . . & I'm busy stitching away on a new project using Lecien's wonderfully smooth embroidery floss - COSMO - for the special booth they will have - just for their COSMO floss! (So if you are coming to Market. . . be sure to see it!).

I promise that I will give you some peeks this week . . . but for now. . . I hear my stitchery calling my name!!!

xo, Bren
