Sorry everyone couldn't win but just to console the rest of you we have another big giveaway to mark the 12th day. It's Epiphany - the day the wisemen brought gifts to the child according to church tradition. So we have a gift for one of you.
But we need to back up a little.
This is our oldest granddaughter, Zoie. Zoie never played with dolls like Lilly. Zoie loved and loves animals.
Here she is with Turkey/Surkey (not a whiz at names). She just loves turkeys. And that turkey knew it. She would come running when she saw Zoie heading for the gate of the chicken yard.
When someone dumped a cat and kittens at the farm and the cat disappeared, Zoie jumped right in and fed them all the milk replacer. And eventually took 2 home. Of course when they moved from their duplex to an apartment the cats both had to come to the farm to live. And in the house - not in the barn. Hmmm!
This is Zoie and Afentra - her beloved guinea pig. Afentra had her toenails painted, wore a crown and knew how to work it so that she got lots of green and red peppers - her favorites.
This is Sumo Zoie's Japanese Chin a Christmas present last year. At the moment he's purple - still has on his costume from Halloween.
Zoie occasionally goofs off with people too. Here she is with Quinn & Cullen. Those are their jammies - the bones glow in the dark.
And this is Zoie's Baskets.
It's 102" x 102" and a very special quilt, like Zoie is a very special girl.
It's on sale all day for 20% off. Obviously the shipping is free.
And - - - - we're giving a kit away.
Make a comment, any old comment before the 12th. We'll draw another name then. If you've already bought it, we'll refund your money.
Happy New Year from all of us at Jan Patek Quilts.

ReplyDeleteLinda K.
love the quilt aren't grandchildren the best
ReplyDeleteI was the little girl with the animals too. I had a pony, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, dove, and more. Everytime I came home with another animal my dad would help find a home for the new addition. And I loved them all. Hubby and I moved to town, and now we are down to the cat that came with the house. And so I have more time to quilt.
ReplyDeleteWould sure enjoy making the quilt if I were to win it.
Thank you for the chance....Karencg
What a sweet story about Zoie. We live on a farm, so I know all about animals - cows, horses, cats, dogs... We got new puppies for Christmas - two brother, jack russell terriers - they are so much fun. I love animals - there's always room for one more - kind of like quilts. Zoie's Baskets is definitely a keeper and a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteZoie sounds like a beautiful little girl, and a great quilt too. Gotta love anyone who adores animals as much as Zoie!
ReplyDeleteDebbie Hall
Oh ya I can think of lots of places to hang this quilt!!!
