So I'm ending the contest for the long arm quilting service one hour early. Cause I'm famished and we are going out to dinner momentarily.
And, I thought it might make you less mad at me for ending it early if I gave away 40 spools of my most favoritest thread on earth. This thread makes me want to pause and reflect on its greatness. And if I wasn't so blasted ravenous I probably would. I love, love, love Mettler thread.
First, the winner of the long arm quilting from The Back Porch Quilters is . . .
#302 Laine
Congratulations! Email me at dana@oldredbarnco.com to claim your prize.
Leave a comment here to this post by noon tomorrow (or June 18, 2009 at 12 noon US EDST) for a chance to win 40 spools of Mettler thread in a cool carrying case. Note that this picture has more than 40 spools. But I'm not at home and can't photograph the acutal thread. So I snagged this one from their website. But 40 spools is alot of thread so don't despair.
One entry per person. I'll pick a winner by random draw soon thereafter. Only one entry per person . . . did I say that already? Forgive me. I'm so hungry I'm starting to shake. International entries welcome.

Continue to enjoy your vacation!! I would love to win the thread..such great giveaways!

Thanks for all the quilting advice and lessons! Such fun to follow along, just what I needed to get my rear in gear in the sewing room, ha!
I just now found your blog, please include me in your draw. I just love thread :)
wow, 40 spools! that's a lot of great sewing! Thank you for being so incredibly generous.
Hope you had a good dinner - I get frantic for food too. :) Love the thread too.
Oh, what a wonderful gesture! I'd love to win 40 spools of thread...wow! Thanks!

Ooh, pretty thread! I really enjoy Mettler thread, though I don't consistently buy it. My local quilting store carries it, so when I am in there I often pick up a spool. Thanks for a great giveaway!
That is some happy looking thread!
Ooohhh thread... Thanks for the chance to enter. I'm off make out, um, I mean work out, with my sewing machine, now.
mybloggylife@gmail.com
Dana - thank you for inspiring all the people who are participating in the Sew Along. Nice work!
I love the bright colors! Hope you are having a great time! Thanks for another great giveaway!
Look at all those colors pretty!
Oooh, something to feed my thread addiction, thank you so much :) Drooool.
hope you had a good dinner!
I finished my quilt top last night but it rained all day so I couldn't get a picture of it. It's cute though! As you know! Anyway, I'm waffling back and forth on quilting it myself. I kind of want to do it so that I can say I did the whole thing by myself, then again, I don't want to screw it up!!
Thread is always a good thing. Although if it's arranged like this is I probably wouldn't want to use it cause it's so pretty as is!
Hope you are having fun!
Are you kidding?! All these beautiful spools...I'd love to have the chance to try this thread.
Thank you for the give away!
Enjoy the sun! Thanks for the chance at an extra prize!
Oooooh Please enter me, I would love all that thread. :)
I could certainly put that thread to good use. I think I must eat thread because it goes so quickly. Sigh!
Wonderful thread! Kattie
What beautiful thread! I would LOVE to win it!
look at those gorgeous colors! THREAD!
Thanks for being so generous!
I'd love to try this thread. Thanks for putting up such a generous giveaway.
Of course you can end your giveaway early! If you were shaking, then you really needed to eat. Besides, a thread giveaway is pretty cool, too. Count me in!
What a generous offer! Thanks for doing this!
i NEED that thread! really. it is a desperate calling i am having for the thread. the kind that makes it hard to breathe, or think, or function. oh wait. maybe i'm just hungry. whatever the reason, i'm sure that if i had that thread, my problems would all be solved!
btw, were are you vacationing? we're having 98* weather and then some. but surely you aren't in oklahoma!
Congrats to Laine, and thanks for appeasing us with another awesome giveaway. :)

The colours look gorgous!
I think I could love them too - just like you do ;-)

Could use a stock up on thread.. so hope I'm the luckyone!
Being relatively new to quilting I have yet to build up a decent collection of threads. This would put me well on the way, and a cool carry case too. Yes please :D
Blog is fab Dana. For you I learned to use rss.
Karen
Loving that thread!
The problem with thread is there is always too many colours in ratio to money that I have :) So this giveaway would go somewhat to satisfying my addiction :)
Jane
Let me in. Looks like some great thread.
Hey, I left a comment earlier... it got accepted.. and now it's gone! How did that happen?? oh well... here I am again.. (or not, as it happens). Still would like a chance to win that gorgeous thread of course !
Love, love , love reading your blog! And your flickr, too! You inspire me girl!! Mettler is my fav, too.
I would love this prize, thanks for a great opportunity.xxx
Thread I could sew forever with all that thread Please Pick me.

Sounds like a nice day in the sun! After 22 years living in alaska, I now enjoy every moment of hot & sunny Wisconsin summers!
Pattern + fabric + T H R E A D + wadding = quilt

Awesome! Lots of great colors. Thanks for offering this give-away! Hope that your dinner was fabulous! Enjoy!
Mettler is great thread. I never buy it b/c it's expensive. Shame on me!
Erin
