drumroll please

hey everyone! hope you are having a fab weekend!

before i announce the winners of this week's giveaway, i wanted to show you all the squares i have cut for the quilt. a couple of you had asked to see ...


as of right now i have 253 squares. i need a total 728 squares (for a queen size).  so that means i still need 475 squares. so, thanks to all you lovely people i'm over a third of the way there. but i still need lots more ... so keep those pieces coming! post about it. tweet about it. 'facebook' about it. i really, really appreciate it.


i did get some more fabric over the past two days (which is already cut and included in the count above) ... i will show you those pieces on monday.

so, i'm thinking it looks unbelievably fantastic. right? it seriously gave me goosebumps when i laid all the pieces next to one another. the colors you people have chosen are magic. pure magic. so summery. so happy. so cheery. so perfect. oh, and i have to tell you i love cutting out these squares. i could do it all day.



so, thank you again! now on to the winners. yep. i said winnerS! i've decided to have two winners!

both randomly chosen winners will receive two jars of jam (blueberry and blackberry/blueberry) and three votive candles from bridgewater!

the first winner is lenore from later.write. repeat !!

the second winner is ester from fleur cottage !!

congratulations ladies! thanks to everyone else for entering! and be sure to check out these ladies blogs. super duper cool and creative. to my winners, please email me your mailing address and i'll get your winnings out next week.
