Owl Quilt Giveaway!!!

Well here we are the 20th of December and I think a giveaway is in order! I'm feeling a little generous right now, so I'm going to have a couple giveaways...one this week and another next week. This week I thought I would give away a little quilt I made.....it's so precious and I have had tons of feedback on it. A lot of googling over it and many who say they would like to have it. SOOOO...that being said, I'm giving one lucky person a chance to have it!


 
Here is the back....


The binding was hand stitched with love...


Here is an up close look at the quilting....


It's simple really, all you have to do is:
Leave me a comment and tell me what you would do with this quilt if you won! 
And...if you want a second chance, you can follow me.....then leave me a comment. 
If you already follow me...then blog about my giveaway.

That's it! No long list of to-dos or anything else.

SO....that's it! Also, I will use the random generator to pick the lucky number. 

The number will be picked on Friday December 23rd at 10pm PST! I can get it in the mail to you as soon as I get your address. 
Good Luck!

    We just bouth a house and don't have enough furniture to fill it. So, with that being said, I would use it as wall art in one of the guest rooms.

    I have a couple of owl wall hangings at our cabin. It would find a great home there, either as a wall quilt but probably on the bed where it would be used and loved. Thanks, the owls are so cute.

    I have a lot of owls featured in my We Can Do It Skill Builder Sampler. If I won it, I would put it over the rocking chair next to the bed that will have my owl quilt on it when it's done. So I guess I'd have to say I would be for the guest bedroom.

    My niece's DH has stage IV Colon Cancer. They are currently away from home, at the Cancer Center of America, in Chicago, going thru treatment. I haven't had a chance to finish a quilt for them. This quilt would be so cheerful, that I'd definitely want it to go to him, if I were lucky enough to win.
