Winners

We are all winners...but you didn't need me to tell you that. I feel like I win the most because I have the good fortune to meet so many interesting and wonderful people.

Speaking of Interesting People....today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in the US. I hope everyone stops today, if even for a moment, to remember THE DREAM. In the photo above you mostly see people with black skin....but THE DREAM is for all people, ever where, no matter their color, religion or socio-economic status or education. We are ALL important, we ALL matter and I Have A Notion that each of us have our own important tasks in continuing to bridge the gap between all people everywhere.

I've witnessed many stitchers and quilters stitch beautiful relationships across all the gaps and wrapped one another in love and beautiful quilts without concern for any of the politics, religions, finances or education of one another. I'm proud to be a quilter :)

Quilters need tools to do those jobs and speaking of which...we have some announcements to make....

For those of you who had not heard of Famore Cutlery, you can't say that any more! Famore Cutlery makes scissors for several different companies. The stamping on the scissors will have the other companies logo. Perhaps more people are familiar with Simplicity's Jackpot Scissors or Floriani's Machine Embroidery Tools...both made by Famore.

BY THE WAY: I noticed several people have ordered Famore Products and the Postage Calculator on the IHAN website has overcharged you for shipping. You will be credited for the postal overage...no worries :)

The winner of the Famore Seam Ripper and Metal Safety Stiletto is:
