Day 8 of 12 Goodie Giveaway

Yea! Weekend! I've had a great one so far and hope you have too! Today's post will be a quick one though. Headed into the studio for a morning of designing patterns. Have coffee in hand and ideas in head :)

First, yesterday's winner via random number generator. Congrats to Tammy who left comment #25: 
Geese and their eggs would be wonderful. So many things to make. Hallowed out egg ornaments for the tree. Lots of deviled eggs to eat! Can use the goose's down feathers for a comforter and it's meat for pate! Hope that end part isn't too gross to folks, but I love pate! 

And now onto today's giveaway! 
-A pair of Olive the Ostrich Pillow Panels
-Two half yard cuts of ANY of my Robert Kaufman fabric (winner's choice!)

Store note: All of the holiday pillow panels (in all 4 panels) have sold out. I did really love doing them so I'll create some new ones next year! :)

Here's one of the Olive panels that I stitched up with black piping. 

  • To be registered to win, just leave a comment here on this post.
  • Please make sure you I have a way to contact you 
  • Entries from around the world welcome!! I'm happy to ship your prizes to wherever you might be.
  • In your comment tell me what you'd do with five golden rings (I can't even type that without singing that portion of the song!)
Good luck! And see you tomorrow for the announcement of the Day 8 winner and for the start of the Day 9 giveaway!!

Five golden rings... that's easy. I would have them engraved with my kid's birthdays and give them to each on their 18th birthdays. Five kids... five rings. Perfect!

sally said...

Five golden rings would be a lot of fun. I think I'd get them sized for each member of my family. Maybe have something cute written on them.

Sequana said...

Five golden rings of my phone: one from my boytoy, one from the jeweler (ring is ready), one from the bank (they made a thousand dollar mistake in my favor), one from the car dealer (my Beemer is ready) and one from POTUS! I won the dinner with him and Michelle. YIPEE!

Shannon said...

It looks like we're all thinking alike! I would give the five golden rings to the ladies in my family - two nieces, my sister, mom, and grandmother!

craftytammie said...

5 golden rings! perfect! one for my man and our four kids! i'd inscribe each with the date they came into my lives(ex. oct.23,2004) and beside it, - forever.

Brittany said...

Five golden rings ... first I think I would pass out from the shock of it. Then I would engrave one with a cute saying ... don't have any clue what ... and then squirrel the others away for a really rainy day.

Laura said...

I would share them with my three sisters and my one sister in law!

Gill said...

Perfect!
I'm one of five sisters! One each!

Aimee said...

I would love to be entered! I think if I had five golden rings, I would probably sell them to some gold people, then I would have more Christmas money.

Kati said...

Well, I'm not really a jewelry person, so I'd probably sell the rings and buy fabric! I really, really want to win this round by the way. I'm still kicking myself that I waited to long to buy your pillow panels. I was thinking one of these and one donkey, but debated and then they were all gone in just a day or so. Next year I won't wait as long!

Debbie said...

I would sell them and give the money to five struggling families to help them pay bills and buy Christmas for their family.

epban said...

Five golden rings? I think I'd have to sell them to help my daughters buy their college textbooks in January!

Lindsay said...

Sadly I think I would sell four of them to pay down my student loans. I would keep the fifth in reserve though for wearing... and in case I needed extra money in a pinch. Oh how grad school as gotten to me.

~Michelle~ said...

So for whatever reason, I can't think of the 5 golden rings line without translating it into the Mickey Mouse version of the song, wherein Goofy declares "5 onion rings" each time, lol! Can't remember any of the other items in the Mickey version except for #5 :)

Mrs Flying Blind... said...

Send them off to a 'Cash for Gold' site and spend the money on fabric!!

Anonymous said...

One for each ear and between the nostrils and over each eyebrow, if I was a pig and could fly!

Katie B said...

I think I'd take them to Pawn Stars and trade them for some cashola.

Andrea said...

Five golden rings....one for each daughter in law (2) and one for each of my three granddaughters. Lovely gifts!

Alisa said...

This one is easy. I would give three of the golden rings to my daughters and the other two would be somehow melted together and turned into a much more manly ring for my youngest, my boy.

Lisa England said...

A ring for me, one for each of my 2 sisters and one for each of my 2 sisters-in-law.

Jeni Baker said...

Five golden rings? Wow! That's a lot of rings! I'd definitely keep one for myself, then probably give the rest to family! :)

DianeY said...

Being practical here, with the price of gold these days, I'd probably sell them for money to buy more fabric! I'm not much a romantist this morning, I guess!

Katie said...

5 golden rings would probably fetch a nice penny considering there are all those places saying they'll buy my gold jewelry. So I would probably sell them. Use some money for quilt/craft things and donate some. I know many nonprofits that would love a donation this time of year!

Five Golden Rings? Why, decorate Olive of course! Imagine opening a gift of Olive's pillow with golden rings decorating her tree!

Five Golden Rings I'd give away to 5 friends...

Kelly said...

oooh! I want this one! I didn't buy this panel! Want! Want! Want! I string all 5 golden rings on a chain and wear them as a necklace--who doesn't love jewelry?!?!?

memmens said...

Hard decision but I'd sell them to help us out with plans for my sewing room!

Poppyprint said...

I love, love, love these pillow panels!!!! "Five Gooooooolden Riiiiiings" is my favorite part of the song. Five would be just enough for all of the girls in my family to have one!

mims said...

i'm with all the other ladies who's sell them for money to buy more fabric!

Looks like a lot of people are more generous with the gifts their true loves gave them than I'd be! I wouldn't be giving away my five golden rings! I don't wear rings, though, so probably I'd have them melted down and recast into something I could hang off a necklace, though what exactly I don't know.

Five Golden rings...one for each granddaughter and one for me, all matching, so everyone knows we are of one family and that we all love each other very much!

Diane H said...

I'd put them on a chain and wear them as a necklace. Thanks for a chance. Love the ostrich!

Pam - said...

Hmmm, five golden rings - - - one for my dear husband of 47 years, one for me for staying married for 47 years and one each to my three grown children!

christilee said...

One for each of my little ones. Or I might melt them down and get some cash for more fabric. I only have a small addiction though.

Jan Maree said...

Five golden rings? I would sell them and buy more fabric!

@pril said...

What would I do with 5 Golden Rings..............I would wear 1 and give the other 4 as gifts.

Susanne said...

They would make perfekt gifts because I am late with some gifts for my family :)

Lori said...

Five golden rings.....Well, I think that I would sell the rings, gold is worth a lot lately, and buy gifts for my family, then invest the rest. Thanks for the giveaway

linda said...

i would beautiful ribbon on them and put them on the christmas tree

Ciara said...

I think I'm with the ladies that would sell them and buy more fabric. With the price of gold as it is, that would be a hefty pile to add to the stash!

VickiT said...

As wonderful of a gift that would be, with the price of gold right now, I would sell them all and either fix the leaky roof on our house or take my amazing husband on the honeymoon we were never able to afford.

Jess @ Elven Garden Quilts said...

Five people in our family so five rings is perfect - one each (at least once my kids are old enough not to lose or eat them...) Love the cushion panel!

Lori said...

I would keep one to wear and the sell the rest and put the money toward a long arm quilting machine. :)

Stevens Family said...

I would sell them for sure! So many things to buy...after I pay off bills of course. Have to be responsible first.

Sonia B said...

Sell 'em and buy more fabric. Thanks for the chance.

Marcia W. said...

Five Gold Rings...I have five little grandnieces so this would be a lovely gift for each when they are old enough. Thanks for the eighth opportunity to win some of your wonderful fabrics.

Nan said...

I love those pillow panels! If I had five golden rings, I'd sell them and put the money in our someday house account. I'll take a cozy home over pretty jewelry any day.

Deb said...

I would sell them too as I am not much of a ring person. Now if it was 5 golden bangles, that's a different story!

Carla G said...

I would wear one, one for each of my 2 neices and one for each of my 2 sil's. We'd all be pretty wearing our golden rings. Thanks for a chance to win your lovely giveaway! :)

Angela said...

Oh I have plenty of nieces and SILs and my daughter who could all have one. The tough time would be deciding who actually gets one. I think I need 25 golden rings! If you're going to dream, dream big!

Lindsay Conner said...

Adorable panel! I would most definitely pawn those suckers to buy a fancy sewing machine and lots and lots of Kona solids. :)

Lee said...

I would give one each to my five best friends! thanks!

Hannah said...

Cash 4 Gold, yo.

Anonymous said...

Five gold rings would be excellent right now. I'd swap them for cash as I have to pay the big boy's rent while he's away on his first OE.

annemarie said...

Five golden rings - think I would have to sell them and use the money to buy lots of fabric and yarn! How selfish can one be???

deserae said...

I would share the 5 golden rings with my friends! :)

CC said...

I second the Cash 4 Gold route. I look so much better in silver, white gold, or platinum. I love the panel.

Stephanie C. said...

I'd wear em! Who doesn't love some bling?!

Anonymous said...

Oh tough choice - the money or the bag? (Did you ever have that game show over there?)
I guess it would depend how much glitz the gold rings had as to how hard a time I'd have of letting them be sold for much needed cash LOL

Kathryn said...

I already have one golden ring - my wedding band - so I'd probably sell them for the gold and donate to a worthy charity. Kathie L in Allentown

Michell said...

Thanks for the lovely giveaway

craftykat said...

My favorite line in the song! I always thought the geese where laying them! Pity I don't wear gold - I like the idea of selling them and giving the proceeds to charity.

Jennifer Ladd said...

They would make great presents! I have a few family members who would be SO happy with a new gold ring!

Katarina said...

Wow, now that the price of gold is rising I would sell them and buy some more fabrics with the money :-)

Svetlana said...

Put one on each finger and pretend to be a princess.

Mrs Chronic-Shock said...

I would give one to each sister and sister-in-law as a reminder of how precious they are :)

Karen L. said...

Since I don't need anymore rings, I also would turn them into a jewelry store for cash and then buy things for my daughter and her family as they live on a very tight budget.

Jodi - usairdoll said...

Wow!! 5 golden rings, well since I only 2 fingers that don't have rings on them, I'd keep two and give one to my daughter, one to my Mom and one to my sister.

Thanks for a chance to win.

Ann said...

I would save 4 of them for when my kids are older and either need more money for school or a wedding ring. The last I would keep just for me.

Rachelle said...

I'd keep one and sell the other four to fund my fabric/fibre/yarn/knitting accessories addictions

Jennyroo said...

Five golden rings? Well, I have five fingers on each hand, don't I??? LOL, I love jewelry for myself! Thanks for the chance to win, looks like a fabulous prize!

honeyguide said...

I would keep one and give one to both of my grandmas, my mom and my sister. Love the Ostrich!

Barb said...

Thanks for the chance to win. I think I'd sell 3 and put the money in my kids education saving account and give the other 2 to our local foodbank. Sorry, sometimes I can't help but be practical.

Karen O said...

5 Golden Rings? I would hope they were large ones so I could sell them and pay off debt. Boring, I know, but that debt is stopping me from buying much fabric. That Ostrich is beyond adorable.

LochKnitsMonster said...

I'd give them to my mom, my sister, my two grandmothers and myself as a symbol of our connectedness.

Kirsten said...

I would keep one of the rings each for my daughter and myself, and sell the others to buy a lovely new sewing machine.

Ashley said...

I shouldn't comment since I already have so many of your lovelies, but I just had to because those pillow panels are too cute!! How did I miss those? Anyway, I might be with those selling the rings to buy more fabric! One can never have too much fabric (or cute pillows, for that matter!)

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

It would be so fun to give one each of the the gold rings to my FIVE sisters!

SewLindaAnn said...

Let's see, 1 for each of my 4 BFF's and 1 for me.

eholst said...

I just love the pillow! If I had five golden rings, I think I would see what all of the fuss is about with companies looking to buy your gold (like all of those commercials on TV). I wonder how much they would be worth? :)

janequiltsslowly said...

Wait. Are any of these rings "the one ring" to rule them all. I think I'd keep them all.

Henria O. said...

I would get them appraised!

I could use 5 golden rings. Even 2, as my son is getting married! :)
Yea for love!

NancyinSTL said...

With the current price of gold, I'd sell them for the money to buy something that I need.

I can be reached by FlickrMail.

Kim O. said...

I'd trade them in for as much pasta, cereal, and peanut butter I could muster for the food bank!

Crystal said...

I'd give one to each of my daughters, one to my daughter-in-law and keep one for myself. Thanks for sharing - the pillow is cute!

Jess said...

I would wear one, stash away one, gift one, sell one (to support my fabric habit, of course), and offer one to my one true love. Merry Christmas!

Deb said...

I hear gold is a good investment at the moment...

Marg M said...

Love to use the gold rings as decorations for Christmas

Anonymous said...

Oh, I would love, love, love to win some Olive pillow panels! Hers is my fave by far. As for those 5 gollllden rings, I would have them resized to fit my chubby fingers and wear them. I have started wearing rings on multiple fingers in my old age, er, golden years! That's why I need those 5 golden rings...8-)

Beth said...

Five gold rings. I'd be sharing them with my four dearest friends, and then feeling warm and connected knowing we were all wearing matching jewelry. Sounds rather 4th-grade-ish, doesn't it? Well, life with girlfriends is sometimes like that.

Anonymous said...

Oh those five gold rings would have to go to me and my mum and my three sisters! But would be more excited to see the postman bring some fabric.

Cathy said...

I would give one to my niece's boyfriend who is saving to buy her an engagement ring. And sell the others so I can get this tooth fixed that is so expensive!! Thanks for the giveaway fun!

Anonymous said...

I'd thread them with lovely red silk ribbon and hang them on the tree. Each would have a name engraved on it. It will be so fun on Christmas morning watching my loved ones as they look for their names.

One for my son, one for my dayghter, one for my granddaughter and one each for my husband and myself when we renew our wedding vows.

One for each week day! I'd wear them all on the weekends!

Five golden rings for five fantastic gifts to my loved ones! Happy designing day to you.

Marilee said...

I have long fingers...maybe they would all fit.

Pam said...

5 golden rings would be a great. I would give one to my husband who lost his wedding band last week (slipped off when his hand got cold). I would give one to each of my 3 grandchildren and keep one for me. jmichaelpike@aol.com

PamOFlynn said...

5 Golden Rings! Lovely, I would give one to each of my granddaughters to wear on their right hand to always remember their Grammy. It would be a change from the quilts and handmade items they usually get, lol..which I am sure they treasure!

molly::applecyder said...

Five gold ring? I think I would give them away b/c I am really not a jewelry person. I am a fabric person, however, and those panels are just too fantastic!

Purl Buttons said...

I would WEAR them!

WandaFish said...

Gosh, late to the party again! Gold's not really my thing darling but I do so love fabric, he he!!
I suppose the rings would make nice gifts though :)

22marigoldst said...

5 gold rings. Hmmm. I'm not a big fan of jewelry, so I probably wouldn't wear them. If I wore them, I'd put them on a gold strand and wear it as a necklace.

Mom who loves to sew said...

FIVE GOLDEN RINGS - are some of my favorite things. I have always loved jewelry and especially rings. You can never have too many. Thanks for the opportunity to win these absolutely gorgeous and adorable panels. I would love to make them for my grandchildren. Enjoy your holidays.
