The winner of my “Art Quilts of the Midwest, Magic Happens” giveaway is: Heidi Worthington, who said:
“My favorite quilters are my friend Angela and my friend Dixie. Several years ago, they started a quilting group at our church. At the time, I had never sewn on a machine before. Angela convinced my to try quilting. I was very skeptical. I completed my first quilt in about 5 months. Angela assured our group of beginning sewers it would be easy. It was an Irish chain. I designed the next quilt that I made with both Angela’s and Dixie’s help. The Upper Room Quilters still get together every week in Dixie’s sewing studio.”

The winner of my “Canteen Wall Vase, Magic Happens” giveaway is: Toni Fenton, who said:
“I wasn’t even shopping, and happened to glance up and saw a vintage glass measuring cup with a beater contraption inside. The beater has a wood-type knob “holder,” and beneath the wood knob handle to turn the beaters inside the bowl is a metal cover that sits atop the glass measuring cup. The glass is an 8-cup measure. I had to buy this. When my grandchildren visit every other weekend, Saturday is our “egg” breakfast day, and my 4-year-old granddaughter goes after the glass measuring cup with beaters and she beats the eggs for our scrambles. On Sunday, my 7-year-old grandson uses it to help make the batter for our waffles. This beautiful piece, which I’m sure was not given away, but saved, has found its way into my home, and is creating cherished memories for our next generation.”
