Hi, It's Padsworth again, and I'm here to announce the winning shelter --- they will receive a case of twenty-five Scratchers from "The Scratcher Lady," Joan Laisney!

She's the smart cookie that developed these neat items to help kitties in shelters . . .

Let's see who Mr. Random says is the winner!

Envelope, please!

Mr. Random chose #13, Linda!

She said . . .

So, congratulations to Linda, and to the Castaway Cats Shelter in Bear, Delaware! Your scratchers will arrive soon!

Don't forget that if you would like to donate some of these great scratchers to your local shelter, there is a code to use all the way until August 31....just add the code 10 OFF to your order, and get your discount!

Many thanks to all of you who entered, and to our wonderful sponsor, Joan Laisney, from Stretch and Scratch! 
Be sure to tune in again --- another fab giveaway is in the works! (And I hope to show you some more quilting progress soon....the operative word there is "hope"!!)

Hopping around and finding new blogs and bloggie friends?

Announcing our book winner!

Who is the winner of  "Child's Play,"  the wonderful new book by Jacquelynne Steves? Let's ask Mr. Random . . .


Here we go!

It's MtnQuiltr, who blogs over at My Quilting Addiction! (We can all identify with that, right?)

And she had a yummy idea for her waffles, too!

(Personally, I'm partial to ANYTHING that has the word peanut butter linked to it!!)

Congratulations! We'll be sending your information to Jacquelynne, and we hope to see what you create with all those project ideas!

Stop back in soon -- almost have another Swoon block ready to show you!

Love,

Green Fairy Giveaway Winner!

A big thank you to all of you who entered our sponsored giveaway!  The folks at Green Fairy Quilt store are an awesome bunch, and we love 'em! We love their selections of fabrics, too, and there is big news this week . . .

Green Fairy is now offering FREE SHIPPING along with their already super prices and stellar service!

It's time to choose our winner, but first, take one more look at this:

 Drool! Apple Jack by Tim and Beck! Yummy!

And cross your fingers:

And watch as DragonDrop puts his little paw into the hat:

And here's our winner!
(Whispering) Never fear, Mr. Random actually picked the winning comment, but we have to humor DragonDrop, don'tcha know? I mean, just think of what an angry dragon can do to all of my lovely fabrics with his flames . . .  (Grin)

It's number 170! See?

And that is Mom2RyandSis, a long-time follower here at Lilypadquilting! She said:

Mom2RyandSis doesn't have a blog, but perhaps she will send us a photo of what she creates with this gorgeous bundle, and let us post it here at the Lilypad!

Now, if you would like a bundle of AppleJack for your very own, and your name is not Mom2RyandSis, you can click here to hop over to Green Fairy store and score some great bargains on super fabrics -- and FREE SHIPPING!! (Grin)  

We'll have more mischief and mayhem here tomorrow, so come back and see us!

Love,

 

Winner, winner, turkey dinner!

I'm wishing special blessings on all of my sweet bloggy friends who have offered comfort and encouragement to me in the past few days. I appreciate all of you more than I can say -- but I'll try to say it anyway, you know me! You've blessed my heart and lifted my spirits, and I am so grateful to be a part of this marvelous community of quilters and online buddies. 

You're wonderful!!

Now, I know that before we took a break, Padsworth, Dragondrop and I had a giveaway going . . . I'll bet that all of you were perched on the edge of your chairs, waiting to see who would win these beauties:

So, let me apologize for all of the sore tushies all over the Lilypad community (being perched on the edge of your seat can get tiresome!), and announce that we have a winner!

Mr. Random picked number 135!

And that is Christine, one of our buddies down in Australia! Congratulations, Christine!

I'll be emailing you and those charm packs will be coming to you as soon as possible! 

Now, we have lots going on here at the Lilypad . . . now that I"ve come up for air, I'll be giving you peeks of my projects, organizing giveaways, and just generally getting into lots of trouble. You'll enjoy the mayhem, I can promise you! I'll depend on Padsworth and DragonDrop to keep me straight!

One super giveaway coming up starts on December 3 --- the semi-annual SewMamaSew Giveaway Day is always lots of fun!

Love,

We have a winner!

Oh, I'm so glad that you tuned in today! We're announcing the winner of this fabulous bundle --


















Fifteen gorgeous fat quarters from the Fort Worth Fabric Studio!

Hoppy froggies . . . I wonder who it will be?

Let's let Mr. Random Number Generator do his thing, OK? Here we go!

He picked

Yay! Congratulations to Shirley, who said:

We've emailed the lucky winner, and Fort Worth Fabric Studio will be sending out your Pink Lemonade bundle!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and especially thank you to Fort Worth Fabric Studio -- a generous sponsor of Lilypadquilting!

Love,

Brand New Sponsor! (And a giveaway!)

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed...thank you for your interest! 
Woot! I'm so excited to introduce you to our newest sponsor --- their button has been on our left-hand sidebar for a while, but today we're ready to introduce you to Fort Worth Fabric Studio!!

The reason I am so excited about Jodie and Fort Worth Fabrics joining our Lilypad team is that this online store has so very much to offer! We quilters have an insatiable appetite for new and beautiful fabrics, ay? (I see heads nodding everywhere --- if you're like me you need to be careful about that, or people might hear your last few marbles rolling around in there. But I digress.)

Fort Worth Fabric Studio is a totally online store. Jodie makes it a point to bring in the latest and loveliest fabric lines from Moda, Riley Blake, Michael Miller, and more. 

You'll find scads of gorgeous traditional fabrics, and lots of novelty fabrics and holiday offerings, too.

Need strip packs or bundles of batiks? They're here. 

Extra-wide backing fabrics? Got those, too.

You might not believe me about all of this fabric variety, so go to this link and check it out! You'll have two choices --- a drop down menu, or do like I did . . . scroll down and scroll down, and, and, well, you get the picture! There are a lot of goodies there!

Fort Worth Fabrics has an interactive design wall, too, so that you can mix and match your fabric choices and make certain you are ordering just the right fabrics for your special project.

That's a screen shot, showing how you can compare fabrics and choose the perfect ones (Riley Blake fabrics are featured there).
Are you a bargain hunter? (Aren't we all?) Fort Worth Fabrics has Bargain Bundles, One Piece Left, and super sales categories, like $4.00 per yard!!  

Fort Worth Fabric Studio has a heart and believes in paying it forward; making a contribution to worthy causes is important to Jodie. That's why you will find several worthwhile charities listed on her site, as she tries to help out and make a difference.
   
Here's another cool thing about Fort Worth Fabrics: every Friday, Jodie pulls together a really great bundle of fabrics, and offers that group for a super price! Some of them are themed bundles; some are grouped by color -- but they are all fabulous! Here is an example:

Speaking of fabulous . . . Padsworth, I was not really referring to you, but yes, you are fabulous, too (the things I put up with around here) . . . I want to show you a truly drool-worthy bundle that Fort Worth Fabric Studio is offering to one lucky Lilypadquilter! It's especially for us!

It's called Pink Lemonade . . .  will you just look at that? All those pinks, grays, and then the lemon-lime! There are fabrics there from Henry Glass, Michael Miller, Moda, Timeless Treasures, Free Spirit, Riley Blake and more (you can click on this link to see the entire list).  I told you it was drool-worthy!
Want to see it closer? (What a temptress I am!)

FIFTEEN glorious fat quarters! Thank you, Jodie, for such a generous giveaway!

How can you win these, you ask? Ahhh, here's how:

(Please keep in mind that doing only one of these is fine. You WILL be entered in the giveaway. However, if you wish to increase the "giveaway vibes" and increase your chances of winning, you can do as many of these as you would like to do!)

Let the comments begin!

Love,

Winner, winner!
