Newsflash!!! plus another GiveAway!!!

Today I am the designated driver for a friend who is having a colonoscopy...no, that is not the newsflash! lol  But I will be sitting in my work place as a visitor and so decided to do what visitors do...sew.  Yes, there is a lot of knitting, crocheting, reading and quilting going on in our waiting area.  Today I am going to start tacking the binding down on McKenna's Dr. Seuss quilt because she will be here this weekend!
 

Now for the newsflashes!  Keith, Manager of Hancock Fabrics is having a huge sale this Saturday!!!  Here is the flash...

Thought you might want to know that this Saturday (August 13) is Super Saturday at Hancock Fabrics. The entire stock of sewing (including thread, buttons,  zippers, etc.) and quilting notions will be 50%, as are all the home decor fabrics, the entire stock of fleece, and both packaged and by-the-yard battings.

In addition, if you spend $75 or more, there's a coupon you can pick up on the in-store flyer to save an another $10 off your purchase.

For anyone interested in buying an entire roll of batting, Keith (or anyone else) can special order it for you (if they don't have it in stock) at the sale price and you'll have it within two-three weeks.

There are coupons in the local newspaper and I also understand that this will include all Hancock Fabrics in the Northwet but may include one near you...so go check it out...and no matter where you live tell them Keith from Central Oregon sent you!!!



Newsflash #2  Jeanne your GiveAway is in the mail today!  So keep a look out!  Congratulations!!!

and...Newsflash #3
I have decided on the next GiveAway...
It involves a sweet kit I put together with Coffee fabrics...the rules...I must reach 150 followers, so tell your friends...and you must leave a comment give me a suggestion of what to name my scooter.  I hope to wrap this one up by Saturday...so help me out!!!

    Since she's pink you should call her Petunia.

    Hi Sweet P sent me over. I am follower number 149. 150 is just around the corner. I was looking at your list of local quilt shops. My sister takes bus trips to Sisters every second year and we have taken the bus to all these shops. You are right they all are different and beautiful shops to go to. You live a a beautiful area. I say name the skooter speed racer :)

    I am not very good at naming things, so I'd probably call it Beep. LOL
    Thanks for the fun! I've been a happy follower for a bit now. :-)

    Oh how I wish that we still had a Hancock's near us! They closed all of ours a couple of years ago. Vicki B Quilts pointed me your direction. It looks like you like working with Primitives and wool, which is one of the things I enjoy doing in quilting, so I joined!

    Thanks for the contest! I haven't seen a photo of the scooter to get a feel for it's personality, but how about "FQ"? Instead of standing for fat quarter, it could stand for "Flying Quilter"! lol

    I already follow your blog. How about Scout or MyPet or Flash as names for your scooter.

  14. JustPamAugust 11, 2011 at 2:09 PM

    If she is pink, I think Paisley would be a cute name for her.

    I think a great name for your scooter would be Fannie Freedom. After all, it can take you away to any where you would like to go.
    Thanks for the opportunity to enter your fun giveaway.

    Why the little darling deserves a name that will garner great respect. I believe you should call him Woolsie Walter Scooter Pooter!!! That is a fitting proper name

  21. WinonaAugust 11, 2011 at 9:40 PM

    I just became follower #160. (grin) I think you should name your scooter Samantha, and call her Sammie. No particular reason. I just like that name.

    I've been a follower for a little while - but have been reading and loving your blog much longer. I think a good name for your scooter would be Miss Pinky. I also have a funny story for you. Last week at my quilting group, I asked the gal sitting next to me if she did any wool work. She said no, but her good friend in Bend is a Woolie. I said I read a blog written by a Woolie. She said, Anna? I said, Yes! She said, that's my friend and she was my college roommate! Now how fun is that? I'm fairly new to quilting and already I find myself in the company of terrific people! Thanks for having a great giveaway!

  28. MargieAugust 12, 2011 at 6:30 AM

    Have been a follower for some time now. We have no Hancock's close around, but maybe that is a good think!! Am not good at coming up with names and this is as good as it gets. How about "Scoots"! Take Care

    Make it easy...call it "Scout" and let it take you everywhere and anywhere!

  37. Kathy MacKieAugust 13, 2011 at 12:45 AM

    I had fun reading all the names and think there are some really good ones. My thought would go towards the Mammoth side so how about calling that pink cutie-"Tusky" Whether I win or not I had fun trying to think up a good name for a fun looking scooter.

    I have always liked the name Petunia :)

    I like the name Nina, which harkens back to one of the three ships that comprised Christopher Columbus' fleet.

    I think Pinky is a good name.
