Good Morning! Today we are expecting snow – so, my plan is to spend the day in my sewing studio making a baby quilt for my son’s teacher. Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t really ever live the life I plan, so I’m more like hoping I’ll spend the day sewing. If not, I’m sure it will be a good day – I really just like spending time with the family. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to convince any of my boys the joys of quilting. Hmm … last night my son brought over his new girlfriend … I wonder if I can rope her in?
Quilt a Gift Book
Today’s winner gets the Brand New Hot Off the Press book by Bareroots -”Quilt a Gift” – this book 25 different projects, some quick and easy, some a bit moe involved, but all wonderful – something each of us would love to receive, so you know it is the perfect gift to give!
Our Day 11 Winner is…
11/10 #3 – Lorraine! Congratulations and Thank you!

Good Morning Everybody! Can you believe it is Friday? We are so excited… this is going to be a big weekend. The surprise announcement will be on Sunday – and all of you have the opportunity to be a big winner! Plus, we have a couple of new clubs to announce.
And how do you like that new quilt, 
Your Home or Mine??!!! Liz and Julie worked on this together over the past couple of months – and I think it is stunning. The Moda Heritage fabrics are such a gorgeous compliment to this quilt … which was not an easy quilt at all! With all of the applique and stitchery, these two put in a lot of late nights. And, I can’t believe it, but they have another colorway they are working on right now, too! It turns out that Liz does gorgeous stitching, and Julie is an applique pro – what a great way to share the fun in a quilt like this!
Today we are also sending out the Serengeti Quilt kits - and will receive another fabric shipment on Monday – these things are so wild, they are literally running out the door! All orders placed through 11/7 will ship today, and the remaining will ship on Wednesday.
Petite Frosted Candles
Ok – so, for today’s winner we wanted to give something very sweet. It is the Petite Frosted Candles. So sweet and we know this will help bring in the season. Our Day 13 Winner is…
11/10 #2 – Shirley Clark – Congratulations and Thank you! Because Shirley did something kind for someone, she is going to receive this sweet candle set. Thank you!
Have a wonderful day, Tereas
30 Days, 30 Gifts, Day 12 Winner

Well, today is my birthday, and my youngest son wants to be sure he gives me as many hugs as I am old today ….He’s pretty much kept me warm most of the day! It’s funny, though – I was thinking about a ‘few’ years ago when I turned 10. Having 6 sisters growing up, my folks didn’t really have much for extras – especially when it came to entertainment. Well, I felt like the luckiest girl on earth that day – my mom was taking us to Disneyland! She didn’t tell us where we were going as we were driving down the road, but when I saw the top of that Matterhorn, I don’t think I was ever so excited! Well … being that it was Veteran’s Day (basically, we had the day off from school on the 12th), we weren’t the only ones with this idea. It was VERY crowded. I remember looking around and just seeing a sea of people.
Well, my mom (who was pregnant, then) wasn’t enjoying it and decided we needed to leave (I was pretty disappointed at first!). So, she decided to do Plan B – she took us to Knotts Berry Farm (her favorite when she was a kid). Wow. I don’t know how she afforded it, and I knew it was an unreasonable stretch financially. But, looking back to my childhood, it was by far one of my most memorable birthdays. But, here’s the great part. About 2 weeks ago I was going through some ‘memorabilia’ and I found this little suede purse with an apple appliqued on it. I opened it up, and inside it were the Disneyland tickets (yes – I’ll date myself here – the book with remaining A,B,C,E Rides!) & Knotts Berry Farm ticket stubs from that day! I was so tickled to find those tickets – and the purse was a gift I received that day. A trip down memory lane can be so fun!
We have been receiving so many blogs from you all — thank you! I’ve totally lost count, but I think we are well over 300 – and they just keep coming. On Sunday we are going to announce another ‘Grand Prize’ – and this is so cool! But, that means you have to keep doing those good deeds and letting us know what you are up to. If you’ve been reading what others are up to, you will see that there is such a plethora of ideas out there. I want to thank you ALL for making this world a better place – even in the smallest little deeds!
Vintage Homestead
Our Day 12 Winner is…
10/30 #24– Alice- Congratulations and Thank you!
Because Alice did a good deed, she receives a Fat Quarter Bundle from one of my favorites – Whimsicals Quilts by Terri Degenkolb – the Vintage Homestead Collection. Thank you!
30 Day, 30 Gifts, Day 11 Winner

Good morning all and Thank you to all Veterans! As most of you know, I am surrounded by many Veterans – my husband was in the Air Force for 24 years, my brother-in-law is currently an Army Reservist, and so many of my dearest friends are married to those who serve and have served. And, to help pay it back some, we are ‘hosts’ for cadets at the AF Acadamy – a kind of home away from home. Well, apparently the words is out that we love the cadets … we now sponsor 8 different cadets, and at any given time, we could have as many as 11 or 12 over (they bring their friends, too). So, together with my 3 teen boys, wanna take a guess at my grocery bill for a typical Cadet visit? Well, it isn’t pretty – but it is worth it! There are basically 3 things cadets do … eat …. sleep …. eat. Well, they throw in a game of football or basketball, and they do their laundry, too!
Fireworks Crystals Surprise!
So, I think it is only appropriate I do something Veterany today.
Today’s winner receives a Firework’s Crystal wall hanging kit – something quite patriotic!
Our Day 11 Winner is…
11/8 #9 – Helen White ! Congratulations and Thank you!
Because Helen White did something kind she wins this great kit!
Have a great day!

Well – I was a bit remiss yesterday getting this blog out. Monday’s are always a bit crazy around here, and yesterday was even more than normal. For those of you participating in the Agatha & Sherlock Mystery, I’m sure you understand why 
So, here is something I heard on the radio yesterday when I was dropping the kids off at school. The radio announcer (we will call her Mom) was remembering a time when her little boy was really little (he is now a police man, so I’m guessing 20+ years ago). Anyway, it was a rainy day and the two of them were in the grocery store getting ready to check out when she heard the little old lady in front of her ask the clerk to call her a taxi. Well, the ‘Mom’ intervened and told the lady that she would take her home if she didn’t mind waiting for a few more minutes. The lady was so grateful for the ride, and she told ‘Mom’ that everyday she tries to do something nice for somebody – and she especially enjoyed the annonymous things she did. But, she also noticed something else … that people always did kind things for her too.
Hmmmm – does this tell you something? I am a true believe of ‘What goes around, Comes Around’ – not that I think any of you are hoping and waiting for people to do you good deeds, but I would bet that most of you have wonderful people around you all of the time, and you are all helping each other in even the littlest ways. By reading all of the comments, anyone can see that every one of these acts is impacting the life of somebody, somehow – and you all should be so very proud.
A Delightful Collection of Christmas Projects
So, back to the winners ….
Both the Day 9 & Day 10 Winners will receive one of our very Favorite Christmas Books – Christmas with Artful Offerings – I can smell the gingerbread from here!
Our Day 8 Winner is…
11/8 #2 – Julie Clifton &
11/4 #15 - Jeannette ! Congratulations and Thank you!
You both did something nice for somebody, so we want to do something for you. While what we do is not always noticed, I hope that you ALL know how much we appreciate you, what you do, and who you are!
Have a wonderful day!

Yes – today we are going to award 2 winners. For those of you who noticed on Twitter, I was at the Air Force/Army football game yesterday, and I said that if Air Force won, I would award 2x winner.

30 Days, 30 Gifts – Day 6 Winner
Posted by: homespunhearth on: November 6, 2009
Good morning! Can you believe it is already Friday? I was looking at my calendar earlier, and flipped ahead a few weeks … and realized that my time for the year is very short! We still have so many quilts in the works – I just hope we have them available in time for you to give as holiday gifts or to dress up your own home decor. But, that being said, these will be fun to make any time of the year.
Snow Drift
Hidden Kisses
We love the new Wool Applique projects we finished last night – aren’t they gorgeous?? They are even prettier in person. I have some folks around here hoping to receive these as gifts, but … I think this time I might just keep a couple for myself.
I woke up at about 4:00 this morning, and decided to get an early start. So, I read through all of the posts from yesterday – boy, the giving is getting really clever — I LOVE it! If you get a chance, take a look at the posts … the comments are spread over all of the days since the 30 Days of Giving started. You will probably get an idea or two – and then you can get your name put into the bowl!
Our Day 6 Winner is…
11/4 #8 – Terri! Congratulations and Thank you ! Today Terri has won her choice of any two of these Seasonal Pursettes! Thank you, Terri, for doing something kind for somebody.
Oh … and we will have a special announcement next Sunday (11/15) - we are so excited! But, until then, it’s a secret. But, here is a hint – you DEFINITELY want to keep letting us know your good deeds!
30 Days, 30 Gifts, Day 5 Winner
Posted by: homespunhearth on: November 5, 2009
Last night my husband and I took our 3 boys to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas concert here in Colorado Springs. I’ve always wanted to see it, but it never worked out in the past, so, we jumped on the chance to go this year. It was absolutely wonderful. So many talented musicians, and the choreographers kept the show unbelievably alive and entertaining. Of course, my ears were still ringing hours later….
But, as many of you know, there is a Christmas Story/Poem that is part of the show, and I was realizing how apropos some of the stanzas were for this month’s 30 Days, 30 Gifts, 30 Winners. I know that we have readers of all faiths, but I think that all will understand what this is all about. I did my best to text them to myself so I could post it here. I think they are in order….
If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
It’s every gift that someone gives
Expecting nothing back
It’s every kindness that we do
Each simple little act
And so it’s good that we remember
Just as soon as we’ve discovered
That the things we do in life
Will always end up touching others
I sure hope I didn’t slaughter it! Anyway, again I am so happy with all of the blog entries we are getting. Be sure to keep them coming as each deed or act you post to us will be entered into our daily drawing, as well as our Grand Prize drawing.
