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:

Congratulations Pam!!! 

The Winner of Learn To MAKE A QUILT from start to finish is

Congratulations Penny!

And the winner of GARDEN PARTY Stitchery is.....

Pam, Diane and Penny please e-mail me your full names and addresses so I can send out your gifts.  (IHaveANotion@yahoo.com)

Now I have to run over and see who won the other Famore Blog Hop giveaways! 

Smiles,

Ding Dong- Someone say something!!

I thought we were all friends here...helping one another out....but someone forgot to ring the bell....

I guess I need to install a door bell on my computer...or perhaps my forehead (do you know I can't find a single pix of a person with a doorbell on their forehead?  Am I really the only person who ever had this strange thought?  If so...I'm cashing in big time on my first original idea!!!  Hurray....finally genius has struck)

Wholey schmokin....I said I was going to giveaway Edyta's book, Reasons for Quilts, on the 9th....and it is the 13th and not a single one of ya have said a word.  Gene must be in Aruba....cuz he always helps me out with this sort of stuff....LOL

I guess I'll have to lean on Mr. Random Number Generator and see who he says wins....

Reasons for Quilts goes to...

Joanne.....Congratulations Joanne!  Please send me your address and I'll get your book in the mail to you.

Worse yet....no one said anything about Sandi Blackwell's book,  Square-agonals or Sandi's patterns. 

And the winners are:

PinsandNeedles wins Sandi's book, Square-agonals. 

Lee and Moe West get some wonderful patterns from Sandi Blackwell.

Congratulations all!!! Now to get your gifts you have to e-mail me with your full name and address and make it soon before I forget to do that too!!!


Well....now I think of it...I have had a lot on my mind (get a good visual of that one...:)

 There were some monkeys in a holiday concert...some homework....meals.

AND

A non-ambulatory Mr. McSteamy to cart to the monkey's holiday concert.   Since I'm so friendly....I'll forgive you for not reminding me if you'll forgive me for forgetting...hows that?  Now we're even!
