Long arm quilting winner . . . and something else too

So I'm out of town. I've been out in the sun all day in 98 degree weather and I'm starving.

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.
