A Giveaway!

We have a winner!

I did this giveaway because I thought it was time I did one and I knew it would be fun for all of you but little did I know how much fun I would have! The names you all came up with were brilliant and I know I am actually going to use one of them eventually. You peeps are the best! Anyways, the winner in the random drawing is Pat from Bits and Pieces. Her name for the quilt was "Fruits of My Garden". Congratulations Pat. Send me your snail mail address and I'll get this package of goodies off to you (catsonmyquilts@gmail.com). In the meantime my husband and I had a fabulous anniversary dinner last night in a NH inn, the Three Chimneys Inn in Durham, NH. 33 years and counting!

I missed my 100th post, I don't know when, sometime around Christmas. So I have decided on this first full day of summer, after the most horrendous winter we had, it was time for a giveaway.


This giveaway is inspired by the two recent fruit and vegetable quilts I made. Hubby called them "Fruit of the Loom" which is not a good name in my opinion.

For the winner of this giveaway there will be a table runner, a small surprise (think Jello! That's all I'm saying!), a couple of NH treats, and something quilt related.

All you have to do is leave a comment for this post only with a name for the original quilt pictured first in this post. Please make sure there is a way to contact you either through e-mail or a blog. The deadline will be on June 29th, my 33rd wedding anniversary, at 11:00 pm Eastern time and even though I am asking for a name for the quilt, the drawing will be entirely random. The winner will be announced Monday, June 30th. Everyone is eligible, except my family members-that means you Caryl.

The blogging community has been a lot of fun for me. I have found so much inspiration amongst quilting bloggers and have got so many decorating ideas from others and along with making a lot of new friends this whole experience has been the best. So spread the word and good luck.

    I would love to win this giveaway. I read your blog at least weekly if not daily. I believe the name of the quilt is fruit of the loom?

    Fruits in the garden. I think that is what I would name the quilt. Fruit fabrics mixed in the green fabrics, that is how I came up with the name. I like the quilt. I hope to read many more posts.

    Fruit of My Labor would be a good name for the quilt. Would love to participate in your giveaway. Look forward to more pictures of your beautiful quilts.

    What comes to my mind is "Fresh Fruit Salad". It is a lovely quilt, very summery. Congrats on 100 posts and thanks for sharing with us.

    Please enter me in this giveaway. I love reading your blog, thanks for sharing with us. I quite like the 'fruit of the loom' quilt, sort of has grown on me but perhaps as an alternative 'Spring Harvest'!!! 33 years anniversary - Wow!

    I just have to put my name in, since on the 21st, I celebrated my 22nd wedding anniversary! I would like to know the pattern for your fruit and vegetables, or if you just pieced it as you went. You just rename your beautiful quilts, and that will be that!

    Personally, I love the name your husband gave this quilt! My suggestion is probably in equally bad taste: FRUIT & FIBER. Happy Anniversary!

  26. Sweet PMonday, June 23, 2008 at 6:13:00 PM EDT

    I think you should name the quilt "Fruit on the Vine." Although I can appreciate DH's humor with Fruit of the Loom name.

    I think that quilt looks like "Summertime". When I see fresh fruits and veggies I always think of the Farmer's market during summer time.

    Very nice.

    I enjoy seeing the fruits of your creative labors of love.
    Many Blessings,
    Paula

    Ok I am thinking Garden of Eden. That's the first thing to pop in my head. Or Vegetable Garden of Eden. Either way it is very pretty.

    I too missed my 100th post. I think I will wait and celebrate 150.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
