OWOH Time!

Yes it's One World One Heart, and I can't believe it's been a year already. I had such fun with this last year, that I decided to offer the same this year. A custom crazy quilt wall hanging, approximately 2 and a half foot square. I will make it with your favorite colors, any lace, trim, buttons, pins etc. that you may want added to it. Also, the winner will e-mail me 9 high quality photos that I will add to your hanging! I'll pick the winner with the number generator. I hope you enter, and good luck!

Hi, Laurie, That's a beautiful quilt. I would like to win one but I would rather let someone else have it because you already sent me the beautiful picture(of ME!) Go ahead and let someone else have my chance.

Hope you're doing much better, your new header looks C.o...l....d!!!

You make beautiful quilts!I would love to win one of your custom quilts, I think I would choose photos of 6 generations of women in my family and finish the 9 with a group photo of those who are still living, my grandma, mom, me and my daughters, I might have to sneak my son in there too though. So now that I have thought that through if I don't win I'll have to make it myself because I like the idea so much. thanks for the inspiration and the opportunity to enter to win. :-) Look forward to hearing from you in the future I hope.
