Such a kind and generous heart you have. Being new to quilting, I know how much money goes into the purchase of the fabrics, how much time and effort goes into the sewingof each individual piece, and then the quilting, and then the binding. You.are.so.big.hearted. This is a terrific giveaway. Please, please, please put my name in the hat. And put me in a second time, because I'm a follower. Sadly, I don't have a blog, so can't get a third entry. But ys - you go girl! dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
