That was a lot of work! Fortunately, I spent time figuring out the SQL statements needed to retrieve the comments for each contest from my blog database. I would have gone bug eyed trying to manually count through the 769 comments received during the week!

I’ll be sending e-mails out to all the winners this afternoon. I was going to do links for winners with website URLs but decided to save the effort (please forgive me!). Thank you VERY MUCH for playing along. It’s been one big sewing chat fest. The passion expressed has been extremely INSPIRING!
The sale categories are brimming full with a special shipment of closeout fabrics (photos sprinkled through this post). Lots of fabulous designs from prior collections at equally fabulous prices. Be sure to check out the new ‘this needs to move’ category priced at $2.99 per yard!
* The fabric at the top is a new collection by Keri Beyer called Rocket Scientist.
Even though I wasn’t one of the winning people, I can’t believe how sweet you are to have such a huge “giveaway”!
What a nice way to make a Monday shine!
You Rock Girl!!!
Now on to see if you have anything that I “have to have”!
I am one lucky duck. And can I just complain that all these new cool rocket fabrics are available bow, 3 months after Tristan’s rocket-themed birthday party.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
Oh my goodness, I won! Thank you, thank you!
Wow.. that just made my (really bad) day. Thank you. Very much.
Oh my goodness! Wow! Thanks! That’s so cool!
Ok, so now we want to hear about day two of your fitting seminar…
*LOL*
i’m laughing for a certain reason – you might know why. and the laugh this gave me really was needed today – thanks, kathy!
^-^
Oh boy oh boy! Now I have an excuse to order the Kona starter pack I’ve been drooling over for months. Thank you, Kathy! You are one generous lady.
Hooray! I have terrible luck at winning random drawings and had zero expectations, but like Amy I’m now eyeing that starter pack–and about a million other things. Oh, Kathy, you really shouldn’t encourage me…but thank you!!!!
talk about serendipity! my only sister just had a son (the only one on both sides of my family so he’s my only nephew – no pressure! hehe) and i was thinking about making him a baby quilt. they have done his room in a cowboy/western theme. the moda bunkhouse pack is *just* the thing!
thank you so much!
I’m really wanting to make a purse. I tried a pattern but it didn’t work out so great. So I really would like a new pattern.
Hi Kathy,
. I’m really a beginner in sewing and quilt. Thanks again to you !!
I know your link from kattiejean (seekatiesew.blogspot). I stop by just wanna say a lots of thank you for your tutorial in sewing curvy lines. It really helpful for me. I join the Project Improv created by Jacquie (Tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot) and I design a block that has many curvy lines but didn’t know how to sew it. Silly, isn’t it?
Please visit my blog if you wanna see what your precious gift tutorial effect to me

You can take the girl out of the SQL but not the SQL out of the girl….or something like that! Thanks for your generosity! xo
