Hello Everyone, October Magic is a wrap! The quilt is hanging in the shop and the patterns are on the rack. I'm so happy to have this one finished in time for Fall, and the beginning of the Holidays. Fall to me is a wonderful gift of color. My gift to you is a pattern giveaway. So here's the contest. In the comment section, tell our 3 year-old Golden Retriever Zinnie, why she should pick your name to win this pattern. She wants you to know that she will gladly accept bribes of Kibble, dates with potential male suitors, but absolutely no doggie sweaters! She has to draw the line somewhere. Extra points will be added for creativity. If Mr. Joe, Zinnie, and I laugh out loud when we read your comment, you won't get extra points, but you will make our day. Here she is at one of her favorite lakes in the high Sierras called Elephant Rock Lake. She plays here hour after hour. Absolute dog heaven....people heaven too. The contest begins now, August 7th and will close on Friday, August 10th at noon Pacific Standard Time. Zinnie will draw a winning name and announce it on Saturday, August 11th. Please leave me an email in your comment so I have a way to contact you. If you are a 'no-reply' status, you are out of luck. But wait there's more......you can also enter by sending an email to [email protected] and your response will be entered in the contest for a chance to win an October Magic pattern. Good luck! Soon, Lynn & Zinnie
