Winners of the Giveaway sponsored by Cozy Quilt Designs

This has been one of those weeks with some amazing surprises and delights, and also many emotional moments of sadness.  But this post is one which brings me great happiness, and I hope it also brings good cheer to you too!

Before I announce the winners, I want to share a few insights with you.

After a difficult week, I was able to attend Strip Club at  Cozy Quilt Shop yesterday. This is such a fun club where Daniela, her delightful staff and all the great participants always make for a cheerful and inspiring time.  But at yesterday's club I came away feeling healed, from  the sadness and stress from this past week.  I realized spending time at Cozy Quilt Shop was like spending time with friends and family, who are always there to listen, support, encourage and inspire.   Thus, I'm going to recommend when any quilter is feeling down go visit Cozy Quilt Shop....it really helps!  And, of course, go when you are happy too as I believe you'll leave even happier!

The new pattern introduced yesterday is a beautiful design called "Spin Cycle".  It has excellent instructions, with great visuals, that are easy to follow to make this quilt in various sizes (lap, throw, twin, Queen, or King).  The Strip Tube Ruler also helps to make this quilt easy and fast.


Cozy Quilts also has a new program called "Building Blocks with Sharyn Craig". Every month in 2011 a new block pattern will be introduced.  You can buy the pattern for $3, or a kit, that includes 3 fat 8ths (you'll need to add your background fabric) plus the pattern for $5.  These blocks finish at 9" square and will be perfect to finish into a beautiful quilt using a settings design, such as  Sharyn's Market Square or another design that you could create with the new Cutting Corner Ruler. The Building Block kits will be come in five color options (black & white, pastels, red & green, red-white-blue, and brights) and fabric prints can vary month to month.

Ok, now to the winners.  Well, before I get to the winners, I need to share insights that I'm not using the Random Number generator for this giveaway.  My sweet hubby made a special drum for this drawing.  Isn't it cute.

I placed all the entries (comments) into this drum.  Gave it a good spin.  And my hubby drew the names of eleven (11) winners.

If you are not a winner, I hope you'll remember that Cozy Quilt Shop and Cozy Quilt Designs has amazing patterns, books, rulers, fabric and other quilt, sewing & embroidery items all at very reasonable prices.  And, they have a very friendly staff that are all "experts" in what they do.  They have a great store and a great online store too.

And, if you are going to be at Road to California Quilt Show, I hope you'll visit Cozy Quilt Design's booth.  I think you'll enjoy seeing their new designs, rulers and find some wonderful fabric and novelties in their booth.

Ok.  Time to reveal the prizes for this amazing giveaway.  Names of Eleven (11) lucky people were drawn to win these prizes:

Congratulations to everyone. I just saw a quilt made with the Strip Tube Ruler and fell in love. I'm getting ready to buy one. Tell hubby he did a magnificent job, I guess you'll need to have more giveaways to put it to good use. I hope you're O.K., I'm worried about you now. Take care of yourself.
