QITB Raffle Quilt Winner.

                                  Remember this beautiful quilt that many of you sent blocks,
 and l made into this years raffle quilt?



Here is Russ preparing to draw the winning ticket.
Quite a crowd had gathered.


As he read the first name, you can see a lady in the background get excited.



Then jumps for joy, as her full name is read out.
Let me tell you, we were as excited as her.
 This is the first time we have had the raffle winner in the audience.



Here is Viv showing off her newly won quilt!!



Hugging it with joy!!



Celebrating with a glass of champagne.



Getting Russ to add his signature to Jo's block.



And sharing the moment with the rest of the crew!!


Congratulations  Viv. l know this quilt has gone to a home,
 where it will be loved and cherished.



On Friday, l took a trip with Jill to deliver the suitcase raffle to
its very lucky winner. Here is Lynne, with her prize. and now she has
it in her hot little hands, l look forward to seeing
 what treasures she makes with her goodies. There was a ton of Jo fabrics, and also
 loads of patterns designed by The Quilted Crow Girls.


This prize was donated by The Quilted Crow, who were our traders
for the weekend. If you want to see some of the goodies that were in the suitcase,
visit their online shop. Its a real treat.


Thanks for visiting.

Twas the night before

Twas the night before Quilts in the Barn, when all through the Barn,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The quilts were all hung in the Barn with great care,

In hopes that the crowds soon would be there.



The adults were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of fabric danced in their heads.

And Jo in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a lovely spring day.



Hope to see you this weekend!!!!!!

Linda, Jo and The Quilted Crows.
