Happy Friday everyone! I am delighted to announce the winners of my Excess Stuff Giveaway today. Rachel (Southern Knit Wit) won the layer cake pictured above. Wildflower Serenade by Kansas Troubles.
I just checked out your blog Girlfriend, and you are one lucky gal. It looks like you win stuff all the time! Or else you must enter every giveaway out there! Anyway sincere congratulations to you on your win. Please send me your address and this layer cake will be on its way to you!
The next winner is Kathy J, who gets the jelly roll. This pretty collection is called Winter by Minick and Simpson. It looks Christmassy, but due to the large number of light strips I think you could make something very interesting out of it! Here is a picture of the lights on the other side of the roll-
Thanks for letting me know your address Kathy! I will pop this in the mail today.
And lastly, Allyson in Alaska won two charm packs!
This is 1974 by a pizzazzy designer called Urban Chicks. Thanks for providing me your address Allyson- this will go out to you today.
How were the winners selected? Well, I'll tell you. I didn't want to do the doggie selection method, and my aim with darts is pretty bad, so I checked out something called Random Number Generator. Go ahead and Google it, it is very cool. I put in the number of comments to the post and had it generate three random numbers. Up came three numbers reflecting the order of commenting for Kathy J, Allyson and Rachel! Easy way to go for sure. Try it next time you do a giveaway, you'll like it.
I loved doing this giveaway, and I think I need to do more of them. I have way too much stuff and if I live to be 125 years old, I will never be able to use it all up. So friends, look here for more giveaways in the near future.
I also plan to offer for sale some kits and bundles that I don't think I will get to, so if you are interested, check back next week.
Have a fabulous and "pieceful" weekend all of you!
Congrats to the winners! Still can't believe the loot!!

How generous of you. I keep a bag in my sewing room (kitchen)and put things in there that I know I won't use and take them to guild for the raffle queens. They love it, it raises a few $$ and it keeps the clutter down.

I see you watched Oprah too and it made an impact. I completely agree with you about living to be 125 and never being able to use what we have, plus, the clutter is unreal in my house! I'll have to do giveaways too! Love your blog.

What a nice thing to do...you are so sweet always. The things you chose to give away were so lovely! I like the way you selected the numbers, that was pretty exciting, wasn't it...get the numbers, count it off on the post, see whose spot you landed upon...almost like going to Vegas! You are too much fun.

Congrats to all the winners, well done!!! I have to tell you though Rachel, I am a tidbit jealous...well, envious...I have a jelly roll and two charm packs of Wildflower Serenade and the Layer Cake would have given me enough to make the quilt I'm thinking about with it. Ah well, luck of the draw, I guess I'll have to hit ebay for the rest **sigh**. BUT I am truly happy for you. Enjoy you three...I would!!! Thanks so much Nicole for the chance at all the great fabric, it is fun just to be in on them.

Nicole - love your blog! Your generosity is to be admired, as well as your idea about selling some of the lovelies you have that you don't really want anymore. Sometimes the fabrics come out and we are late on the uptake and then the pre-cuts are gone. Example: I would have been happy to purchase the 1974 Urban Chicks charm packs! It would be a win-win for you and the new owner! Keep up the great blog - and pet the pups!
