Happy Holiday Sewing,
Nancy

2, yes 2, contests in 1....

UPDATE
Thanks to Pat, I win the Duffous Prize...We won't be announcing the prize winners on Monday!! That is the day we are leaving. duh!! We will announce them here on Thursday or Friday...

Ok, here we go....

Miss Nancy and I went shopping Thursday after Redwork and picked up these.....

The fun part -

For the winner of MY contest....
3 beautiful FQ's that Patches just got in.

For the winner of Miss Nancy's contest....
3 FQ's plucked from the shelves of Patches by Miss Nancy herself....



Here are our lists

My List -
1. red, white and black yellow brick road FOR ME!! I have the first cut done.
2. 30's print quilt top. I have all the pieces cut for all the blocks
3. tote bag
4. tote bag
5. hand embroidery
6. oh, another tote bag...
7. and yet another tote bag...

Miss Nancy's list -
1. finish Sunflower Tic Tac Mo quilt top
2. finish Sunflower table runner
3. start and finish a Christmas table runner
4. start and finish a 5 seam table topper
5. do some redwork

The information part -

Leave a comment on this post and guess how many projects we will each get finished. Please make sure we can tell which Nancy you are guessing for. You can guess for each contest just make sure you use Nancy and Miss Nancy so we can figure out who wins.... Mention in your comment that you posted a link on your blog and earn another entry...

The boring part -

Each of us will have one winner. You can't win both contests, so if you are the correct guesser for both, you will only win one and then we will go to the next closest.... seems only fair to spread that fabric around....
Yes, we will mail overseas..

Want a couple of hints? Miss Nancy's pins EVERYTHING, which of course slows her down a bit.LOL .. I don't pin ANYTHING which means I can go faster. We leave Monday morning and come home Wednesday afternoon.

Winner announced MONDAY!!

I have grandkids this afternoon and overnight, then will finish packing tomorrow.

Happy Sewing,
Nancy
PS to my non-sewing sis - if you guess and win you only get the fabric, I will NOT be making anything for you....

Ta da!!!

Raggedy Abbie....

conversation with the rock star....

Had to share this....

Me - You work tomorrow from 5pm-9pm, right?

RS - No, I work til 10pm.

Me - Oh, did they change the schedule, cause the calendar says til 9pm.

RS - No, I have to work until 10pm. You have to add an hour for daylight savings time.

Me - (heavy sigh)


Happy Sewing,
Nancy

Ok, Please stop.....

We voted. At 6am. We were not the only ones there and now I wish I would have taken my camera. The line was at least 100 ft long. We had to park across the street in a new subdivision and cross a 2 lane highway in the dark.... We did it the ol'fashion way. With cardboard placards separating us, paper ballots and ink pens to fill in the circle.

So, now I am looking forward to the commercials and phone calls stopping. I will NOT be watching the returns tonight. I will packing for my last retreat of the year which starts next Monday....Miss Nancy and I are off to a lovely state park in Illinois for 3 days of sewing, eating, talking and sharing.... I have attended this retreat for the past 8 years, this will be Miss Nancy's first trip.... I can't wait...

Last time I went on retreat, I had a contest (click here)to see who could guess how many projects I would get done. Should we do that again? Maybe I can get Miss Nancy(no blog) to list her projects here and we can do two giveaways??

Happy Sewing,
Nancy
