We've got a OWOH winner!

 
The comment count shows 229 plus one who couldn't seem to get the comment to work so sent me an email. Less one duplicate, one spam and one who had absolutely no way of being contacted. Out of 227 the Random Number Generator chose #180.

 
Comment number 180 turns out to be: Susanna from Holland of Susi-Art! Susanna said:

Hi Debbie, you make some nice things, it is lovely!! You can add me to your list! Warm greetings from Holland, Susanna 

Congratulations, Susanna! I've sent you an email and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!


This was the third year that I participated and I had a lot of fun. Lisa is planning on making it even more fun for next year and I can't wait. 


Have a good weekend,

One World One Heart 2011

I'm glad you came to visit my blog for the 2011 One World One Heart blog event. Click on the logo above to see the list of  participants and information on how to join. Last year there were over 1000 participants! This is the fifth and final year that Lisa Swifka, A Whimsical Bohemian, will be hosting this huge event. Thank you Lisa for providing us all with the fun and opportunity to meet and get to know lots of fellow creative bloggers from around world.

Another feature of the event is to post a giveaway on your blog to encourage comments so you can meet more of the other bloggers.

I was a happy participant in 2009 and 2010. If you clicked to see my posts for those years, you may have noticed a trend! While I did not make postcards this year, I am continuing to include a bunch of yarns in my giveaway. 

Here are the "door prize" items one lucky winner will receive from me this year: 
 
I love couching yarns for embellishment on quilted items. I have included them in several giveaways that I have done throughout my two years of blogging. The yarn package consists of one yard lengths of about 30+ different yarns. They are great for embellishing quilts, crazy quilting, scrapbooking, etc.

In December, Karen of Sew and Sow Life had a giveaway for a little drawstring bag that she made after seeing a tutorial at Quiltcetera and I won it! The little thing is just so cute and the tutorial makes it so easy that I decided to make one for you!

One of the giveaways I entered in the fall included a quilted eyeglass case. While I wasn't a winner, Becky of The Quilting Booklady wrote a few weeks later to tell me that she found another eyeglass case that she had made and would I like to have it! I said, of course, and it's been protecting my reading glasses in my little back pack ever since. It's so easy to make, so I made one to include with the drawstring purse and yarns.

So, that's my offering for the OWOH event for this year. 

Just a few little simple rules to follow if you want a chance to win:

1. Leave a comment on this post. Comments on other posts are always welcome, but for this giveaway, only comments left on this post will count. 
 
2. I need to be able to contact you if you are the winner. If your blogger profile does not lead to your email address, you must include your email address in your comment. Anonymous comments will only be counted if there is an email address included in the comment. Any comments without any form of contact available at all will not be included in the drawing.

3. The event ends on Thursday, February 17. I will use random.org to choose the winner after midnight, U.S. EST, at the end of February 17, and then I will email the winner.

Have fun and Good luck!

Debbie

[1-1-11] Coming up: The 2011 One World One Heart Event

 
The 2011 One World One Heart Event, hosted by Lisa Swifka of  A Whimsical Bohemian, will be taking place from January 30 thru February 17. The link is also in the OWOH button on my sidebar. This is the fifth year (and final, as Lisa claims) for the OWOH. This will be my third time participating. 

Go check out the details and the rules and decide if you'd like to join us. It really is a lot of fun!

Here are the links to my 2010 participating post and my 2009 participating post. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to be offering this year, but I can tell you it won't be postcards this time.


Enjoy!

Debbie

And the winners are...

.
It's time to announce the two winners of my One World One Heart giveaway! 

First a little about how I chose the winners. There were 243 comments of which six of them were duplicates. So, that made 237. I put 237 into a Random Number Generator and it chose the numbers 15 and 81. 

I counted down the list of comments, while skipping the second comment of each of the duplicates (I didn't want to delete them.) It wound up being very easy, as there was only one duplicate within the first 81.


Congratulatons to:


#15 is Jingle who said Oh, how fun! Thank you for a great giveaway!


#81 is fran who said beautiful postcards! please include me and drop by mine, too! http://www.artsyfran.com/2010/01/25/owoh_2010/

Jingle has been contacted by email and Fran has been contacted through her blog. If either of them do not respond within 48 hours, I will be choosing an alternate winner.

Enjoy!

Debbie

Using up some yarn

Don't forget to stop by the One World One Heart Magic Carpet Ride full of great giveaways. It's on until February 15 and I'm #94 on the list of blogs. Be sure to enter my giveaway there.

I've been so lazy about blogging lately. Maybe some of you have some advice to help me with that?

While I've been working a little bit on many different things, I did finish one project! In an attempt to try to use up some of the huge yarn stash that I have from years ago, I joined a Mystery Crochet-a-long. I discovered something I forgot after so many years of only quilting. When I finish the afghan 'top', it's FINISHED! No need to sandwich, quilt or bind it! Only problem is that it doesn't look like there's any less yarn in the cabinets. 

It does need to be blocked but, here is the finished product. Each square is a different stitch pattern. It was a lot of fun. You should check out Carolyn's Gourmet Crochet blog.

I love couching yarns for embellishment on quilted items and I love making fabric postcards. So, I'm giving away the same thing I offered last year!


Two lucky winners will each win one of the two fabric postcards you see below, along with one yard lengths of about 30+ different yarns. Great for embellishing quilts, crazy quilting, scrapbooking, etc. Below you can see a photo of what the yarns look like. (Click on each photo to enlarge.)

2. I need to be able to contact you if you are a winner. If your blogger profile does not lead to your email address, you must include your email address in your comment.
Update: MANY of the comments being left are by no-reply bloggers who are not leaving their email addresses in the comment. Please check your google or blogger profile to make sure your email address is enabled. 

3. Anonymous comments will only be counted if there is an email address included in the comment.

One World - One Heart Blog Giveaway

Comments are now closed. I will announce winners later on today.

Important Notice: Please note #2 below. There have been many comments where email addresses are not available in the blog profiles or the comment writer has no blog. Without a blog OR an email, there is absolutely no way to contact you. For convenience, I've been approving all comments. On February 12th, I will go through them all and will have to leave those that have no way of being contacted, out of the drawing. If you have a blog, but no email address, it is less convenient to contact you, but possible. Still, you risk the possibility of not seeing that you won!

I just joined the One World - One Heart Blog Giveaway. I'm getting in a little late on this, but there's still plenty of time to enter the drawings. Thanks to Lisa for organizing it!

Two lucky winners will each win one of the two fabric postcards I made that you see in the photo, along with one yard lengths of about 30+ different yarns. Great for embellishing quilts, crazy quilting, scrapbooking, etc. The winners will be announced on February 12.

1. Leave a comment on this post. Comments on other posts are always welcome, but for this giveaway, only comments left on this post will count.
2. You must have a blog, that's the point of this giveaway event, to get to know other's blogs. If your email address is not in your blog profile then you must include it in the comment.
3. I would appreciate if you would answer just one question. Have you ever been to Israel? Yes or no is good enough, but you may add any other nice comment that you wish.

Good luck!

Debbie
