I love Cozy Quilt products. I have purchased a few of their patterns in the past on-line and hope to make it to their store some day. I would love to be there for one of their Saturday surprises. Unfortunately, since I am in Canada, I am not in the running for the bag, but I would love to take home one of the patterns you picked up. All three are gorgeous. I would be honoured to have any one of them. Thanks for the opportunity.
