Whew! What a flurry of activity around here yesterday. Let's see, I got the kids around to school. I was a substitute teacher for a first grade class so I had to get out the door too. What a day. Man, first graders can be a . . . What?? ::blink:: ::blink:: You don't care about that garbage you say? Humpf. Fine. See if I care.
Ok. I understand.
You wanna know who won the quilt.
I already briefly explained that Razor devised a plan to assure that every entrant was assigned a number. And, extra numbers if they had earned them. That was the hard part. Luckily I had been keeping up with who had posted and sidebarred me so as to know how many extra entries each had earned. So, last night it was really just a matter of sorting through and assigning each entrant the appropriate number of numbers (I'm so technical in my descriptions. I bet NASA has gotten a hold of this and will be calling soon. Like totally!) and then adding up all those numbers so that I could put an ending integer into the random number generator thingy and pick the winnerS. That being said, at the closing time of the contest (7:00pm US EDT) there were 1142 comments. Add in 1990 extra earned entries from all you little lovelies and that makes a grand total of 3132 entries.
So without any further ado . . .
Number 89 was Kathy at Mommie Marzie. Congratulations girl! Email me at dana@oldredbarnco.com to claim your prize.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
There are two winners of the $35 gift certificate to my website Old Red Barn Co. and those go to:
#432 which is Amy of Vintage Fern. How cute is she? Gonna have to check out her Etsy shop soon.
#738 which is Elizabeth of Pigtails and Snails
Lovin' your header on your blog! Both please email me at dana@oldredbarnco.com to claim your prize.
BUT WAIT THERE IS EVEN MORE!!!
I understand the a "random number generator" is random. But, just something in my gut tells me that "random" cannot possibly include the first or last entry. I mean come on! No self respecting, good-for-anything random number generator thing is going to pick number one or, in this case, number 3132. So . . . . . drum roll please . . . . .
Number 1 (Karrin Hurd) and Number 3132 (Distressing Delilah)
You gals have $25 gift certificate from Old Red Barn Co. !!! Email me at dana@oldredbarnco.com to claim your prize.
Finally, I really and truly want to thank each of you who took the time to stop by and leave a comment. How humbling for me. How thoughtful of you all. I will keep this big stack of printed out comments and read them when I'm feeling blue. I think Sally Field said it best when she said, "They like me. They really like me." Isn't that what she said?

P.S. Wait there is even more. Look for more quilt give aways here soon. Well, maybe. No, okay. Seriously. I'm sewing one now.

Awww, Shucks! My true whiney, complainy self is showing. That sounds negative. But actually, it's positive. I did not win this lovely, lovely quilt. If that's the only thing I have to whine and complain about this morning, then I am blessed. Bless the winners, too! Now I'm headed back to read more of your blog. (Click back to the blog to take one last look at the lovely quilt and to read recent posts.)

What a fun contest. So much enthusiasm. Congratulations to all the winners. I'm looking forward to exploring your blog.
I'm getting married in June. I'd gladly accept a quilt as a wedding gift. ;-)
Seriously, though, you've re-inspired my obsession with quilts. shhh...don't tell the fiance. Last thing I need is a new hobby that costs money. Don't say anything to him and I'll introduce quilting very gradually, so he'll never know what hit him. :-)
How Fun!
Even though I came in late with the drawing...it was a very nice one...and you made a very generous gifts.
Aawwww, man! I didn't win.... but sure had fun reading the announcements. Congrats to the winners!
What a wonderfully generous gift. Congratulations to the winners! :-)

Congratulations everyone! Dana, I don't know how you did it. What an amazing response!

Oh! I just found out about your blog and left a note to enter this contest, and now I see I missed it! :( Oh but your blog is SUCH a treat! I am enjoying it and so glad I found you. I am so wowed by your generous nature and that you gave away a quilt that you made! I have (for now anyway) given up the idea of learning to make one, and here you are giving away something that you made with your hands. Thank you for this beauty.
