Give-away Winners!

Thank you to the Gentle Readers who took some time to comment on my 15th anniversary as a blogger...and to tell me a bit about their own journeys since 2003.  It's gratifying to someone who types words into cyber-space regularly, never knowing where they'll land, or who's "out there" reading, to get to know some of you a wee bit better.

Without further ado, here are the three who've won the magazines on offer, according to the random number generator I used late last night!

For Judy C.

For Mary

and for Kate

Watch for an e-mail from me...so you can advise me of your correct mailing addresses and I can get these packets of inspiration off to you!

Meanwhile...in the Sewdio...

We had a(nother) snow storm yesterday -- complete with "Blowing Snow Warning" (!) so I spent most of the day sewing strips of fabric together.  I'm working hard on stash-busting while I plan my next art piece...and will post further process-with-photos very soon.

Have a great rest of the week, and stay cozy!

WinnerS!

Yes -- winners, plural!  

First, congratulations to California Fiber & Music, winner of Books Unbound: 20 Innovative Book-making Projects.  I'll be in touch by e-mail shortly to get your snail mail particulars!  :-)

Now about the 'plural'...After I put the book up for the draw for post #975, I received two current magazines, both wonderful, and already in my library!

I thought long and hard about giving 'em away at the next milestone on the way to 1,000...but when?  980?  985?  990?  995?  I couldn't make up my mind so...I decided to use the second- and third-place entries (all sorted by Random.org's random sequence drawing system) to give away these publications.

Drum-roll, please...!

The first magazine is the beautiful Australian stitchery magazine, Inspirations, Issue #76, 2012.  I hope Judy C of Textile Images enjoys it!

And the second magazine, itself inspirational, is the Winter 2013 edition of Art Quilting Studio, which includes articles by my friends and colleagues, Kathie Briggs and arlee barr.  Some delightful reading to enjoy on wintry evenings for elle of elle in da coop.  Congratulations!

I'll be in touch with you two gals for your snail mail information too, and once the snow stops I'll get all three packages out to you by Canada Post.  (The way that this winter is going, that might be June!  ;-)  Just kidding!)

Now off you go and have a great day!
