Number 32..... Kristy! I'll send you an email. I'll post it on the forum and hope to see you there often! Congratulations.
Nice to see so many people here and their comments. For those of you that wanted to know more about Cottage Garden Threads, they are on my website, www.craftandquilting.com.au and I stock them. They are hand dyed right here in Victoria, and have passed stringent testing for colour fastness with "flying colours"!
Isn't that weird, I can't embed the Random Nunber Generator with its result intact. Handy if you need to copy the generator for you own use.

OK everyone, I have inserted my Random Number Generator and now have to do the draw. DRUM ROLL........... mmm have to post this first then do it, so two posts!

Last night I finished off my first ever pieced quilt. I have about 4 that I have started, but have gotten to the borders and just ran of inspiration. One is for our own bed, and it needs about 300 2' sqaures cut to make up a diamond like border, now I've got the Accuquilt cutter I will do it as soon as I get time!
This one is made with the Tumbler Die on the Accuquilt GO! Baby, with the 2" strip cutter...but really I didn't need to use that, just a few cuts. Cut in 15 minutes, sewing time about 2 hours, quilting time (free motion) 2 hours total...(had a few breaks to top up the "relaxing" glass of wine) 4 hours later, completely finished. Even I am surprised. I watched a U-Tube video on free motion quilting in the morning, and the lady there said to remember to relax the shoulders, even have a glass of wine! So I waited for a reasonable hour to have a tipple...after 4pm... and boy, did that help!

I haven't done this before so copied it into Word, then into Paint Shop...then here. Otherwise we'd be waiting days for this. There were 38 comments.. and number 15 came up first!

Here it is, and now off to find out who the winner is.... so another post coming up!

Now there are two winners

OK... I checked, and it is the aptly named Lucky. I made a boo boo a few minutes ago and counted down my blog wrong!! Sorry Suzi, I'll send you a second prize!

More stuff for the giveaway!

Next addition to the giveaway... 2 spools of King Tut threads, 1 skein of Cottage Garden Thread and a ???? You can't see the colours on my website yet, I will spend all day tomorrow putting them on the website.... Same with the Cottage Garden threads.

The Cottage Garden Threads are being hand dyed so I expect them to arrive in a week or so...at least before the draw for the winner!
