Watch for more contests coming soon from Quiltmaker!

We have selected three names for the Big Bundle Giveaways (two from the U.S./Canada post and one from the Outside U.S./Canada post.)

Those three people have been notified by email and, once I’ve verified their shipping addresses, I’ll announce their names here.

Winners of the 100 Block issues are listed in this post–and I think we still have a few names to add there as well. We’ve been mailing the issues out since last week, so watch for your copy soon if you won.

OK–now it’s back to regular work for the QM Staff. We’ve got January/February ‘10 web content to get ready to post next week, March/April ‘10 patterns to write and proofread and more quilty pleasures to plan and get ready for you. We’ll be back to our normal 2-3 posts per week instead of 2-3 posts per day.

Be sure to post pictures of the projects you make from 100 Blocks in our flickr group! Can’t wait to see what you create!

Update 11/17/09: The U.S./Canada winners are:

• Debbi Price from Des Moines, WA
• Valorie Kortus from Loveland, CO

Congratulations–I’m going to pack up your prizes for UPS to pick up!

I have not yet heard from the Outside U.S./Canada winner. I’ll send another email today and if I don’t hear from her by 10 am on Wednesday, I’ll pick someone else.

Update 11/19: It took a little longer because the first name drawn was from the U.S and ineligible, but then emma #46 from Australia was randomly selected as our international winner–congratulations emma and thanks to all for participating!

OK, I’m sending emails to all these winners to get mailing addresses. Congratulations to all 10 of you!

There’s a list that we’re trying to keep updated of the winners so far–easier than new posts all the time.

So far today, as I’ve been reading the comments, no one has used my first “secret word of the day” which was PURPLE. And no one used my second “secret word of the day” which was BATIK.

I did find 6 commenters who have used a form of my third “secret word of the day”: SCRAP! Each of the following people wins a copy of 100 Blocks. (All dates and times are MST and, now that the secret word of the day has been revealed, using it won’t result in more surprise winners.)
