Merry Christmas!

It's time to announce the winner of "Our Christmas Gift" drawing!

First I have to say, I wish I was able to give all of our follower's one of Aunt Sue's quilts for Christmas. Your all great! I am hoping maybe we can give one away each year for Christmas! Of course, giving her more notice to get one done then I did this time :)

Drum roll please ... the winner is ... VAL!

"My favorite thing about Christmas is the memories of all the Christmas times I have already had and it feels good like a fuzzy robe and a hot cup of cocoa."

Well Val, now you will have a nice warm quilt to warm you up even more! I know you will love it! Congratulations!

Ahem ... I still haven't seen the finished quilt myself. Our family will be expecting a picture of you and your new quilt!

Please email me. helpingthebudgetusingcoupons @ gmail . com

I hope everyone has a great day and be safe!

Weather prevented travel for us so it's just the two of us today!

Our "Christmas Gift"

While the family was trying to decide what we would be giving away for our Christmas drawing, only one thing was agreed upon, it had to be something "special". In the end, all agreed it had to be a quilt made by my "Aunt Sue". So, I called her and placed my order for a quilt big enough to snuggle up with while reading a good book or watching TV.

"Aunt Sue" has a small business called "Idee's Legacy" where she makes and sells BEAUTIFUL high quality quilts and ready to sew quilt kits. She uses only quality materials for all her quilts and kits.

I had hoped to have a picture of the finished quilt to post but not just yet. (She also works a full time job.) But, here's a tease! A picture of the top of it, no borders and not quilted! Doesn't look like much yet does it? Wait till you see the finished product. She does an awesome job of quilting! If time permits, she will probably finish it this coming weekend.


Our follower's that made the move with us back to blogspot were notified they automatically received extra chances. (Perks for their patience... lol!)

But, everyone can sign up once for a chance to win "Our Christmas Gift". Just leave us a comment telling us your favorite thing about Christmas.

Winner will be drawn randomly on December 25th.

Sorry, but you must live within the United States.

Here's the quilt she made hubby three years ago. The top is almost all appliqued!

Talk about a lot of work!

This is one of hubby's "treasures".
