And the Winner is Me???

I have had a great week!!

First on Wednesday I was selected as one of the winners of the Christmas Quilt Show (http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-quilt-show-winners.html).  I will be receiving a quilting tool.

Then later that same day I was selected as 1 of 10 people who had a chance to win a $250 gift card at Quilts and Sew Forth's grand re-opening.  I arrived there on Friday morning bright and early at 8:30 a.m.  I was the second to draw a key, but the next person drew the winning key to open the door!  The remaining 9 of us received a bag with some quilt goodies inside.

On Friday night I made my chili for the Chili Cook Off competition at the 10th Annual Ohio State vs. That Team Up North party in Ohio City.  I entered my Tressel's Terrific Chili into the competion with 9 other chili's.  About 100 of us formed the Script Ohio out in the street and then entered the 2 tents to watch the Buckeyes take on that Team from Up North.  As we watched our Buckeyes beat up on those Wolverines the winners of the Chili Cook Off were announced, and I won Runner Up!!!  I was really excited, of course it may have been the Long Island Ice Tea's also!!  Then my Buckeyes won the game 37-7 it helped to finish off a great day!!

Colorful Friday!!

Quilts & Sew Forth recently moved to a new location.  To celebrate their new opening anyone that spent $25 got a ticket to enter in drawing to be 1 of 10 people that could win a $250 gift card.  I had 2 tickets in the drawing and I was selected as 1 of the 10!!!  I was pretty excited and showed up at the store this moring at 8:30 a.m. to try and win.  I was second to pick my key, but the third lady picked the winning key.  She was pretty excited.  The other 9 each received a goody bag.  I hit the 40% off area and added to my stash.

Then I stopped at JoAnn's to buy some cording to use in a couple purses I will be making.

From there I went to Mara's Fabric and Gifts she had Moda's Northwood's Botanical on sale and I needed some for the backing and binding of my Simple Star wallhanging and Train to Grandma's

She has also added a lot to her clearance area.  I purchased 3 Robert Kaufman Fusion's for $4 a yard!!

I hope you have a very Colorful Friday!!

I need your Votes for Turkey outside my Window

I have entered another quilt in the Weekly Themed Quilt Contest.  This time it is one of my husbands favorites.  This quilt started out as an apron panel, it was then cut up and pieced using the Attic Window pattern. My husband Jim thinks its neat how it appears you are looking out the window into the backyard. I pieced it in 1993 and finally quilted it in 2007.

At one point today I was actually in the lead so please help me out!!
