the “glitter” winners

i know it’s been a tough week for me, and coping with super-cold weather and -30’s in so much of our area has certainly made it more of a challenge…  brrrrrr!  here’s to hoping the rest of our december will be a tad bit milder!

i had a really good time finishing up these snowflake blossoms, and i’m in the mood for more of them {the quilted kind, that is}.  i think they are charming with just a candle, but would be fun with a bowl of candy or a floral centerpiece, too:

so here are the winners… but before we get to that announcement, i just have to say: oh MY goodness!! have i told you lately how much i love you all?  and really really do appreciate all of your fun comments, your kindnesses… your encouragement, your time?!  

well i DO! and thank you so much!  it is fun to give things away, and of course, that’s where the joy is. it’s a gift! so thank you again… 

and a big thank you to a wonderful thread company that has made this give-away so much more fun for me.  superior, you do a fabulous job, and you are the nicest people!!!  THANKS from all of us who know and use the wonderful quality products you make! 

so i used a couple different bindings, and finished quilting in just the outer borders to finish off these round little darlings:

as you can see, i finished a couple snowblossoms, and i am super pleased with how they turned out.  practical and pretty,  charming and glittery~quilted fun {just like you all!}  and the best part is that they will serve anyone’s decor well after the christmas holiday is over.

the winner of the $25 gift certificate?  yvonne! 

and winners of the snowblossoms ~ there are two.  they are:
flamingo quilter and sandra wamble!  please contact me with your mailing information, so i can get these blossoms in the mail to you, soon!

congratulations! 

thanks again everyone, for taking time to read the blog and participate in december’s giveaway!

blessings, and merry christmas!
