A Lotta Love Giveaway Over

Update: Congrats to #117~zees5
Happy New Year! ! !
On this the last day of December 2009,
let
us
take
a
moment to reflect
and prepare
for
Valentine's Day ♥.
Yeah, I'm as bad as the dept. store.
At least, I didn't do it Christmas Eve.
I did have some restraint.

A little LOVE U rocking on the porch -- fabric by Deb Strain.


Love U isn't really Valentine's Day, just the title is.






Sent With Love is also by Deb Strain. She's a busy gal.

and L'amour by Sandy Gervais

L'amour, L'amour, L'amour
Fun little kit to make. Quick & easy.


Today's giveaway is a charm pack of your choice --

LOVE U, L'amour or Sent With Love.


Leave a comment about what makes the world go round.


Random drawing later tonight, while we're waiting for the sparkley ball to drop.


Schnibblers, I'll see you tomorrow!

  13. Love and happiness definitely make the world go round, but unfortunately, there isn't enough of it.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Love makes the world go round. That and some kind of scientific mumbo jumbo stuff. Love the quilt and the new fabrics!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Compassion and Common sense. I have four children so both are REALLY important! And Love too, in my mind that is a given though ;)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  23. You are too funny. Family makes my world go 'round.

  24. No doubt it is love that makes the world go 'round....although some scientists seem to think it has to do with the solar system and gravational pull or something like that ;) Would love to have some Love sent to me. Here's wishing for a very loving year in 2010.

  25. Of course--love. And family. And friends. But it all centers around love. And I love those fabrics! Have a great New Year!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Gee, what makes the world go round? Love, love of family and friends, love of what you do both as work and as art (and by art I include quilting!)

    I adore the Love U line.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Empathy is what make things go around on the good side of the world, greed on the "other" side.
    Without empathy even love can't make things move forward in a good way.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm pretty sure it's the gravitational pull of the sun! lol But more likely, it's happiness. And we all achieve that from being loved and having something to look forward to, I think.

    Love the fabrics, Love U is my favorite, but they're all wonderful. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Well, I'd like to say LOVE.. But, I'm thinking it's FOOD! Okay, food and fabric. I guess thread too, or else what would I be doing with fabric.. FOOD, FABRIC, THREAD, and HUBS = LOVE!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I agree with everyone else - it's love, but also I think the fabric in my stash may be effecting the worlds rotational orbit. Better add more.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, I am going to be a cynic here. I think it's actually money that makes the world go round.

  72. What makes the world go around?

    Serious answer...the way our hearts pump faster, our faces get flushed, our adrenaline spikes...and we end up staying with the person who has so ticked us off...because love isn't about how we feel...but our commitment to have only the very best for someone else.

    Funny answer...all those hamsters in their little balls really aren't exercising...they're keeping all the magma at the earth's center hot enough to keep us spinning!

    Happy New Year to you!

    Wouldn't it be great if the last giveaway was won by me? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  73. well i suppose the answer should be love but actually the real answer is family and friends!

  80. Ooh, I am in love with L'amour! I think kindness makes the world go round, because without kind people doing small things each day, the world would grind to a halt and destroy itself.

  88. I have to say that laughter makes the world go round. Laughing at a great joke, when your kids do something funny, when you want to cry and when you need to lighten the mood have to be some of my favorite past times. Usually laughing at myself is where I get the most practice.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR QUILT TAFFY!

    ReplyDelete

  92. So they say that love makes the world go round, but I would say that it's my kids that make my world go round . . . and round, and round, and round -- sometimes like a whirlwind. Well, I guess that's the same thing, because kids=love. Happy New Year, ladies.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I love those blues and greens.
    Doesn't quilting make the world go round?

    ReplyDelete
  94. Love, compassion, charity and faith - life would be so much harder without it.

    I love the fabrics. If I won I'd have a hard time deciding. I hope everyone has a safe New Years Eve.

    What makes the world go 'round? Well - creativity makes MY world go 'round. I need a creative outlet to thrive. I just get antsy, grumpy and restless if I can't be artsy in some sort of way.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Friendship makes the world go round, and blogging helps make friends around the world. That's what I love about blogging. Thanks for being one of those friends and thanks for another great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  100. These days, my mother makes the world go 'round. My husband and I separated a few months ago, and my mother took me in with open arms and open heart. Then when my husband's mother was ditched quite terribly by her husband, my mother stepped in and contacted a social worker/advocate sort of person to help. Today we emptied my grandmother's cupboard (before the snowbird flies for the winter) and brought food to my mother-in-law, and made sure she had enough wood in the house in case she loses power in the coming snowstorm. I would never have the guts or the stamina to help her on my own, and my mother gives me that strength.
    Best wishes for the new year!
