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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
