Birthday month giveaway 2010 - and the winner is ........

Aren't these just the most gorgeous looking water features? There's a number of them in the formal reflecting pool on the upper terrace at Cheekwood. The Dale Chihuly exhibition runs through the end of this month (extended through the first week of November). We have one more visit planned to see some of the sculptures lit up at night.

So the winner of 10 fat quarters of the color of your choice (blue) is ............ Marga from the Netherlands. Congratulations. She has a lovely blog so I hope you all take some time to visit her at http://www.marpie.web-log.nl/. Give her some cyber hugs her mother-in-law died unexpectedly last Friday.
(Himself is heading off to the Netherlands tomorrow for a few days. How ironic is that.)

Thanks to those of you who did some fun guessing and descriptions. They all made me smile greatly :)

Birthday month give-away 2010

It's my birthday this month and this time round I'm doing a giveaway of a different kind.
All you have to do is guess what this "up close" view is of and you might win 10 fat quarters in a color-way of your choosing. You have till Wednesday 20th, morning, to guess. (Addendum - It is now Wednesday, just after midday. The giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announces later today.)

So have some fun with this but remember to leave a comment with a way to contact you. The winner will be drawn from those that participate, and announced on Wednesday afternoon.

On to a totally different subject. I happen to like green and wear it a lot. My friends might be surprised to learn that it is not my favorite color :)

The ever delightful Robyn at http://daisyquilts.blogspot.com/ is doing Colorful Friday. This week it's GREEN so I am joining in. Woohoo :) I hope you enjoy my choice of photographs and have a splendiforous week-end. If you are on fall break like us ...... party on people ... do something fun and creative with your children whatever their ages :)

Walking through the trees to the Kirtland Temple. (It has a green door but the photograph was not good.)

I am learning to crochet. This blanket is going into our green/pink/white guest room.

Well lookie here we have a surprise visitor .....

"Who are you looking for?" Cousin Kermit you say? "I'm sorry he has not arrived yet. Maybe you should rest here for a while or if you are in a hurry pop on over to some of the other GREEN blogs. He has been visiting some of them :)"
