And the Winner Is....

Sudu is the winner of the random drawing for my extra copy of Stitches for the Millennium by Brenda Hart.  Congratulations!

Twenty people commented last Sunday when I announced that I was giving this book away to celebrate having 100 people "following" Blog.  I fired up random.org and ask it to give me a number between 1 and 20.  Ten came up.  That must be your lucky number, Sue, as you were the 10th person on my list of those followers who entered.

Email me your mailing address (I'm at chilly hollow athot mail dotcom) and I'll pop this in the mail, probably on Friday.

Many thanks to everyone who entered.  You don't know how much knowing you are out there somewhere and reading Blog fuels my stitching and posting!

Almost There

All the basketweave is finished on Luna's gown.  The next step is to finish the beading as the largest black area and the last three gray ones are still not beaded to my satisfaction.  I'm not going to bore you with a photograph today. I'll wait until this area is done.  Instead, I thought you might like some other wonderful things to look at.

I'm way behind in mentioning that the Gone Stitching/Planet Fiber original design contest is over and the winners announced.  Congratulations to everyone who participated.  It was really great of you to do so!

In TNNA news, the classes that shop owners will be able to take at the January market have been announced.  Patt of Patt & Lee Designs has posted a list of all the NP ones she saw offered.  I think I might need to buy a shop just to take some of these classes!

As a teacher, Robin King is quite excited to be teaching two classes among such an illustrious group.  She's posted a leaf chart from one of her classes so that those of us who can't go (this is a wholesale only affair) can participate in a small way.  Thanks, Robin.

It's Veterans Day here in the United States and time to honor current and former members of our armed forces.   We thank you all for sacrificing a bit of your life (and often your health) for our country.
