Sandhill Plums Winner

Pat from New York is the winner of this week's Sandhill Plums charm pack and charm pattern. Just proves how random our random number generator is since she won just a couple of weeks ago, too! But Sandhill Plums is all so new, she'll have to wait a few days to receive her goodies since the pattern is still being edited. It's been so fun reading all your comments recalling memories of Gramma's cooking specialites. I thoroughly enjoyed the warm feelings flowing from the pages.

Don't stop following the KT blog now - we're not done with our year of giveaways yet! Still to come is the grand prize of one of each KT charm pack printed to date - over 1200 charm squares from the past 11 years. The giveaway begins this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and continues for 2 weeks thru 10pm on Wednesday, Dec. 7th. You may comment as much as once a day over the 2 weeks. The winner will be announced Thursday Dec. 8th.

Better get to the grocery store before everything for Thanksgiving dinner is gone. We do our family thing on Saturday so I have plenty of time to prepare. Just Robert and I hanging out, watching movies in our pj's all day Thursday. Now that's something to be thankful for!

Something else to be thankful for is good friends, like my dear friend Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. We met in Ottawa, IL last week to do some brainstorming and planning for our cruise to Alaska next summer and met with our travel agent to plan even further into the future. We had a great time antique hunting all day Thursday and stayed up late chatting about family and plotting projects and surprises for the cruise. If you haven't decided on whether or not to join us, ask for a Girlfriend Getaway for Christmas. Your hubby will appreciate not having to shop and you'll have a wonderful trip to look forward to next year. Have any of you been on a quilting cruise? Where to? What was the best part? Where would you like to go next?

  1. We got our food today, not over doing it, this year.
    We always have more than we can eat and it gets wasted.
    I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  11. Wish my sister Pat could join me for Thanksgiving so she could show me the fabrics that she won the last time. Maybe if she could join me for Christmas she could bring the Sandhill Plums to show me. Thankful that I have a sister who loves fabrics and quilting! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
