this was her dream birthday comment...

"my ultimate birthday gift would be to own both a lovely children's book store and an arts and crafts store. happy birthday! i just celebrated mine a few weeks ago, and i like a nice long celebration too! cheers to you!"

Hooray for you! Hooray for everyone! Thanks for entering. I really like doing giveaways these days, because I like giving presents and I really love getting a wide scope of opinions. This one was like birthday market research!

Here are the top things that people want, in no specific order:

• Berninas, or at least a nice NEW sewing machine
• Long arm quilting machines
• A long vaction
• Time to create
• Space to create
• healthy loved ones
• more fabric.

So again, it's amazing that 236 people this time said essentially the same thing. What can we do about this? That's what I've been trying to figure out, since the answers started coming in, what can we do?

I'll keep working it out and let you know when I come up with some answers and ways to get you all a Bernina.

MEG! Send me your info so I can get you your sweet action copy of City Quilts!

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 25, and I guess that's ok with me. I'll be in San Francisco with my little Melysses S. Grant. SF is quickly becoming a birthday tradition!
