Hi everyone -- so very excited to announce the winner of the Grow Your Blog & Redbird and Berries Giveaway.   Thanks again to Vicki at 2 Bags Full for hosting a spectacular Grow Your Blog event. 

My blog certainly grew and I'm thankful for each and every follower (old and new) -- welcome and lets have some fun!!

There were an overwhelming number of entries in the giveaway -- I can't thank you all enough for your generous comments and positive feedback on the "Redbird and Berries Mini Quilt.

Before we get to the winner I wanted to share a new wool design I've been working on for the upcoming Winter Recess Fiber Arts Festival.  The stitching is done but I've yet to quilt, bind and label it for Monday's show -- Gosh I wonder if I'll make the cut ?? 

I wanted to make something springy -- because you know -- I think we've all had enough cold and snowy weather here in the North East...  What do you think ?

 The Back:
  
 I'm not sure yet what I'll name this design but I'm enjoying the way it's coming together.  Of course I'm always bugging my sisters and husband for their input -- Hope I don't have to pay them by the hour ;)   

Would love to get your feedback on it -- too bright ? just right ? background opinions ?   I'm kinda finding my way with this design work so thanks for any feedback good and bad.

Ok -- now the winner....

There were 382 comments on my blog and over 100 comments on the Bake Shop Blog -- WOW... that is just awesome - thank you all so much.
