Congratulations you two!!! Thank you again for following my blog and entering this giveaway !

I was fortunate to attend the “Bed turning and Tea”, hosted by Eleanor Burns, at her Quilt in a Day store! I made her a wall hanging, as you can see, and she was so thankful when I gave it to her! It really made me happy when she asked if she could pin it up on the wall for the show, she even mentioned it in the intro of the event/ webinar and said hello to my sweet baby Ray!! I am still editing and working on getting the recording / video of that webinar, I will be posting more about this soon!!
I had such a great time, I learned a lot about the history of quilting. Did you know that in the early 1900’s , you could get your quilt long-arm quilted for $12!?!?!?!?!? And only $2 more for scalloped edges!?!? My goodness, I took so many pictures and notes, so again, stay tuned for that post super soon!!
I was so excited to meet Eleanor, and just beyond ecstatic to have even visited her store, Quilt in a Day, that I bought a GOODIE BAG that you CAN WIN in an upcoming giveaway!
YES, ANOTHER GIVEAWAY, this one will be held with a longer entry time, but a giveaway nonetheless!
This is an over $75 value goodie bag containing an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Eleanor’s newest book, “Quilts from El’s kitchen“, three Eleanor Burns Signature Patterns : Piece of Cake, Zig A Zag and Hole in the Wall, as well as a clear zipper tote that says “Eleanor Burns made a stripper out of me!”, a booklet of recipes for a variety of pastries from El’s kitchen and a cute 8-pack of pretty pink fat quarters!
Pretty neat, huh? 🙂
So if you’re an Eleanor fan, keep your eyes open for when I post this giveaway coming soon! 🙂
Toodles for now,
Diana and Ray<3

Oh hello Michele! 🙂 how are you!? I remember giving you a keychain for my blog, and you invited me to sit at your table for tea! That was very kind of you!
It was such a nice little gathering , wasn’t it? 🙂 Eleanor is such an inspiration!
I will be blogging about the event with a handful of pictures, I’m sure it won’t do the event any justice, because it truly was an informational and impressive event, but I will try my best! 🙂
I hope to attach the recording / webinar to that post! So do check in for that, and that kit you saw me buy, the book of quilts from El’s kitchen and a couple patterns and a fat quarter bundle will be a giveaway due to announce my winners in a month. On Eleanor’s , quilt in a day , 35th anniversary event! Will you be attending that? 🙂 if so, I may see you there!
Take care and thank you for stoping by, hope you continue to enjoy my blog and posts!
