There’s nothing like a new grandchild to make you feel good. It’s such a wondrous event. Maya, my newest granddaughter, arrived on February 8th weighing in around 9 lbs. She’s Lily’s little sister. Lily has held her, kissed her and probably wondered in that head of hers, if she’s going to be going home sometime soon. But as time passes they will get to know each other well, and life will be about bonding, sister fights, sharing and all the good things that we learn when a sibling comes along.
I’ll have to be content to view pictures for a few more months, as I wait for them to travel from Germany to the US for Maya’s first visit at the end of April. I’ll take care to hug and love Lily too, as I hold my newest Granddaughter for the very first time. I can hardly wait!
Now, for my giveaway. Oh that’s right, I didn’t tell you it was a giveaway! Sorry, I’m such a sneak as some of you know. Moda sent me some Mistletoe Lane Aurifil Thread Kits to make your lives a little more fun, and seven of you who left a comment on my last post are going to win one! I had 13 comments total (one from Margaret came in through email) so I’m going to do the random number generator from 1 to 13 and see what happens. Are you ready?
Here are the winners!
#3 Pam
#10 Gayle
#12 Karen
#6 Faye
#4 DeAnna
#2 Hildy
#5 Barb
You lucky ladies can email me your address through this blog and we’ll get your prize in the mail! The thread kit includes a Mistletoe Mini Charm, 7 spools of Aurifil thread, and a pattern to make a cute mini ornament quilt. You are going to have some fun!
I work for the most generous fabric company around. Thank you Moda for all you do to make us happy!
Hugs to all of you!

Oh she is so precious!! How difficult to be so far away from your grandchildren. There is nothing like holding and cuddling your grandbabies and I hope we see pictures of you doing just that in April!
I nearly fell off my chair, when I read this and realized I was #10 and a winner, along with the other lucky ladies. Love the photo of Maya and look forward to seeing one of you, Lilly and Maya in April. Nothing can compare to grandkids. We are expecting our second one in July.
Oh, look at her! She’s absolutely gorgeous, like a little baby doll. I bet you can’t wait to actually be able to hold her! And I’m sure Lily will need some special attention, too. :D
Those are gorgeous thread colors! I’m so excited about getting them. I love your surprise giveaways. Thank you!
CONGRATS! LOVE+BLESSINGS TO YOU+YOURS ♥
Anne, you’re the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You sure work for the best company ever:-)
Please give lovely Lily and magnificent Maya a big extra hug from me when they’ll visit in April!
Congratulations on your newest arrival! Maya is beautiful!! Our Henry will have a new cousin in early August! The kids are calling him Cletus the Fetus! They aren’t going to find out the gender. They also got new jobs closer to home in Indianapolis so were ecstatic! Henry lives 10 hours away in Omaha and we were just there last week. So my distances seem short compared to yours!! Enjoy that sweet baby!!
Maya is the most precious baby I have seen in ages! She is angelic. True gift from Heaven! I am so very happy for you, Anne.
Although I really need thread, I’m very happy for the winners today. I was at the Moda booth yesterday at QuiltCon in Austin. I love Moda! Mary
Congratulations to all the winners. Looks like really nice thread. And welcome Maya!
Anne, congratulations on your beautiful little granddaughter, she looks like an angel and I’m sure you’ll be in heaven when you can finally hold her. But in the meantime thank goodness for technology :)
I was drooling over that darling kit (still am I have to admit)…but so happy for all the winners1 What fun you’ll have.
Maya is beautiful, congratulations. Her little outfit is darling.
