Prize for Candy

A few days ago my 50,000th visitor stopped by and it was Candy from Michigan. I knew she liked Laurel Burch things as much as I did and I offered her machine embroidery of Laurel Burch designs. I sent her pictures of the curtains in my guest bedroom which are embroidered with the cats. She chose the cat with the balloons, but I couldn't just send her one embroidery. I love watching the machine do its job on these embroideries, so I am sending her 4. You readers gave me a lot of ideas for the anniversary give away. Top vote getter was the mini wallhanging, but my thought there is what if a primitive decorating person got my wild and crazy modern wallhanging, so I think there will be two. Also fiber postcard was a big winner. I have several already done so I think I will choose 2 of those also, and then there were the scraps. Again, there is a wide variety of fabric types, so I think there will be 3 choices there. So stay tuned, I will be putting up the "rules" in a couple days.

I want to remind anonymous commenters, there is absolutely no way I know who you are if you don't leave a name or initials or something, so when we get to the actual giveaway, you must leave some kind of identifying mark on your comment. It doesn't have to be your real name, it could be initials or CS from IL or something similar. Just in case you are a winner, you have to be able to identify your own comment.

This morning I am off to the car dealer for an oil change and tire rotation. I hope they don't find anything expensive wrong with my van while I am there.

What a great give-away! I don't think I've ever seen the gift customized to the winner's taste. How thoughtful.

That IS thoughtful of you, Wanda! Dumb question from a blogging newbie: how do you know how many visitors you've had to date?

Love the flower photo!


PS – There’s still time to enter my Par-Tay with Attitude contest. Take a look at what you might win! It's not quite on the scale of the work you do, but it's fun. :-)

Oh Wanda you are so sweet. Now I am going to have to cut into my fabrics and make those beautiful embroideries into a Laurel Burch quilt. Since her death I have thought I would never want to cut up the fabric but I realize a quilt would be an even better tribute.

Thank you so much.

Hi, I've been following your prolific blog for a few weeks now and was inspired to start my own blog. It's a lot of fun. As for your give away - a box of batik scraps would be fabulous. Julie

Lucky Candy! Those are great! For your anniversary, it's all wonderful, I don't know how you'd choose. But it's a gift, and anyone would be grateful for any of those. It's so sweet of you to offer a give-away.

Wow, I have the Laurel Burch fabrics but have not seen the embroideries.
I suspect reading this post may cost me.........
Nice to see another machine embroiderer.
