Blog Hop Winners

We have our winners already pulled out of the hat....cross checked to make sure they commented on all 4 blogs and now it is time to announce the winners!!!

Before we do that though.....I want to thank each and every one of you for taking part in our Blog Hop.

It just shows us that quilting is alive and well in the world right now and pay attention to what is happening out there in the quilting world.

First I would like to announce the winner of the Anytime Placemat kit (using my new Glow fabric line, by Red Rooster Fabrics) and my Fast & Furious book.

Many of you have asked us and encouraged me to organize another hop like this one and I am happy to announce that I am going to for sure. The next Blog Hop will be in November and you will be hearing more about that later. We will venture a little bit further than Minnesota that time around and introduce you to more great designers. Our hop is called Cross Country Christmas and we will give you great holiday ideas; projects, decorating, recipes and more......stay tuned.

Let me know what you think and tell me what other states you would like to visit on a blog hop?

Congrats to the winners! It really was fun, thanks Gudrun!

Thanks again, Gudrun, for organizing this (and the November) blog hop. New concept to me, but I truly enjoyed reading about each of the designers and the information and projects that they shared. This weekend I was on a quilt retreat and seeing your name and others from the hop was really fun as well. Thanks!

I love the idea of another blog hog, especially with a Christmas theme. It was so fun to go to the blogs and see everyone's creative endeavors. As far as what state, You lead I'll follow.

[Jean]

I would love to visit Colorado on the next blog hop! Our son and his wife just moved there and it would be fun to see the places I can visit when we go there.

The blog hop has been a great idea!

[Sherri]

Love the idea of another blog! And for Christmas not the less!! What fun! I can hardly wait!!

[Birdie Cutair]

I am so glad you are going to have another blog hop. I had so much fun with this one. And I am making the wall hanging with the flower in it from Anka's Treasures.

[Helene C.]

A Christmas theme blog hop sounds great! I too have made two sets of everyday placemats. I gave one set to a co-worker and one to my mom. Great pattern, easy to follow, stunning results. Hope you get some New York bloggers in the next blog hop.

[Amanda]

Congratulations to the winners!

Thanks for organizing the shop hop. I had so much fun. Now I'm going to have withdrawl symptoms!

I'm excited to hear that you're organizing another hop. I love the Christmas idea. I, too, think Utah would be a fun state.

sounds wonderful ... cant wait for next hop ... thanks to you and all the others ... :)

[Pat B]

Thanks so much for sharing this web hop. I would like to see more of the great MN designers hop on board.

[laurie]

I'm so glad you are going to organize another hop! And this year too! Yippee!! I'm not sure if there are any designers in my home state of Maine - but I know there is a lot of talent in the state of Utah!
Thanks for a great time this last two weeks!

thanks for a great time!

[Susan Ellis]

This blog hop was so much fun--thank you! The west coast states have some amazing quilters/designers. It would be fun to find out who's doing what in that part of the country...

[Gwendie]

Thank you! Even though I sent you a private email, I want to say a very public thank you to all of the bloggers who made this hop possible and to you for organizing it. I had a wonderful time on all the blogs, never dreaming I'd win. If you have another in November, I'll be sure to let people know. I still can't believe I won!

[Deb G.]

I think it would be interesting to see a list of all the Minnesota designers. I know there are some that were not part of the blog hop. I am also amazed by the number of quilt shops in Minnesota participating in the Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop ... my dream shop hop would be to visit all 84 shops on the list!

[Carol R]

Congratulations Gwendie, Lynda and Sue! Thanks Gudrun for hosting the fantastic 10 days of the hop! I look forward to the next one!

[Sherry R]

This was fun, interesting, and educational. Congratulations to the winners!

What other states? Well...there are 49 left!

I made your Anyday Placemats. I just posted photos on my blog.
