She’s Arrived, Yes She Has!

I spent the weekend with my new computer. I’ve named her Brittney and believe me she’s earned that name. No pushing this one around. She settled in the studio and then it all began. I could tell from the start she was going to be trouble. No talking to the other computer, no mam, not her. She’s a bad girl!

I thought I might have to send her back. A trouble maker I can’t have, so I called in the tech squad (my son). It took all weekend but she’s finally calmed down. Now we have a Brittney (aka Vista) and Bunny (aka XP), both with pink desktops and a pink mouse. Seems to have helped. At least they’re talking!

If she continues to be good, I’ll have her select the winner of my give away! That’s right, on Thursday morning I’ll be giving away a bundle of my “Angel House” fabric, along with my pattern “Postcard Cuties for Angels. A random number drawing by Ms. Brittney (I hope)!

One lucky winner will find this package on their door step very soon! You know what to do. Leave a comment and you’ll be entered. See you Thursday morning!

Hugs,

    Oh oh oh-pick me, pick me [hands waving frantically in the air]! I love love love all your patterns and would love to win the angel fabric & pattern. I recently enticed an online quilt shop to carry postcard cuties for winter as their block of the month too.
    Good luck with the whole computer thing. Why can't they just behave???

    The angel fabric is sending shivers down my spine. I love pastels and springy/eastery colors. Keep up the great talent. Kara

    Dear Anne,
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to possibly win some of your new fabric line. They look beautiful. Also, we all thank you for the great FREE block of the month you have provided. I am a quilter and I also do needlework…but I have never blended the two.
    Thanks again, trish

    Am I too late to enter? I found you through Hetty’s blog and when I saw give-away I had to leave a comment just in case I could still get in for the give-away. I’m just getting started with trying to learn about quilting, so I’ll be keeping an eye on your posts. You do beautiful work.

    Have a great week.
