Oh, the excitement! When I get happy about something, I bounce in my chair! Then I hear the chair complaining, and I hop up to happy dance!
Why am I happy dancing? Well,
Whoo hooo! One of the Team Lilypad wantobe quilters won a prize package on Stash Manicure, and so I won, too!
Lock your peepers on Heather's prize:
I'm looking forward to seeing what she makes from this! And then, this is what I won!
I have wanted to try those yummy Presencia threads for quite a while, and now I have some on the way to my hot little hands! Yay!
I believe I will have to design some more stitcheries and show you how lovely the thread looks and behaves! By the way, any of the stitcheries that I have been using on the memory quilt that I'm making, are yours for the taking. I have them listed on a tab here at Lilypad, and you will be whisked away to Google Docs where you can print them out for your own use!
Now, you may be asking yourself . . . how do I get in on this excitement? Easy peasy --- just look on the left-hand sidebar of this blog, and click on the sign up sheet button! We'll make sure you are registered, and have the chance to win!

Padsworth and I give a special tip of the hat to one of our favorite people, Madame Samm at Stash Manicure, for this cute graphic:
There have been some comments on the Wantobe A Quilter giveaway posts that were left by "no-reply" bloggers! Eeek! If your comment is decorated with these words,
No-reply blogger
you won't even get one prize.....We should probably decorate that with a skull and crossbones, and have eerie music playing as you read that line! It's NOT good!!
Trust me, you don't want this to happen. All of those lovely prizes at Stash are going to be given away, so it might as well be YOU that is happy dancing, right? Right!
Follow these instructions and all will be well:
In blogger.com, click on Dashboard.
Select Edit Profile.
Check the box for "Show my Email Address."
Save changes.
So, all of you peeps who have signed up on the Lilypad quilting team, be sure to check your settings and make sure you are eligible to win!
And, as always, follow Stash, and mention the Lilypadquilting blog as your team-mate...NOTE: I've been told that some of the comments on Stash have not mentioned their sponsor-blogs - don't let that happen to you!!
Then if the random number generator picks your comment, YOU WILL WIN!!! YAY!!
