So I came home to this inside my door.
A week ago Karen over at FeistyEily decided she had a quilt surplus so she decided to give one away. And guess who won??
Its a Christmas Mix tape lap quilt.
Isnt it beautiful! Karen was worried that because she had cats some cat hair may still be with the quilt, even though she washed it. It smells wonderful too-take a sniff!
Well I'll think I'll just let Kalli tell Karen what we thought of any hitchhiker cat hair..
Now for the Giveaway...

I'm doing a Happy Dance for your win. I would use the fabric for Christmas stockings or a table top.

What a wonderful win and beautiful quilt.
I am short on time since i am making gifts first, then I wanted to make a quilt for me. That would be perfect for a quick quilt that I could make in time to use. Perfect to practice my free motion on, too.

Colleen,
I sew appreciate your thoughtful comment on my post at Stash manicure!! I've told everyone that this post was meant for someone special because God would not allow me to write what I originally intended to post about. When I read your comment, I got a chill bump...you are one of the special someone's my post was for! Please Please show your Grandmother's Quilt!! I anxiously await that picture and your post on Saturday! My mother also had Alzheimer's and I know full well the horror of that disease. Thanks you for sharing.
Blessings this Thanksgiving

That fabric looks like amazing pillows to me!
PS...If I were to win your fabric, I would make a quilt for a young mother who was put on bed rest this week to try and save her pregnancy. Her first child was adopted and this is her FIRST pregnancy EVER...all want her to terminate the pregnancy but she is going to allow God to make that decision so in the meantime she lies on the couch or bed while the rest of us try to help her...BTW, her retired parents live 2 hrs. away and will NOT come to help. Anyhoo...I'm sure whatever the outcome, a quilt will help in the healing and/or waiting process.

Congratulations on your win!
I think they would make a lovely table runner or some Zipper pouches.
Thanks for the chance :)
If I were to win the fabric I would make a Christmas table topper. I'm really lacking in the quilted seasonal department. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
I love VIP's 90's fabric lines. There is enough fabric there to make an inviting lap quilt for the corner rocker - with old teddy in a new bow and miss dolly in a new dress.
And what a fantabulous quilt you received! And if it passed the cat scan - it's a keeper.
I would make a Christmas lap quilt for my son and wife. Thanks for the chance to win!
Congratulations on your win!! I love it!
Thank you for your giveaway - I'd use it to make bags to wrap Christmas presents in - I'm not going to buy any wrapping paper this year

I would love to win that fabric! I would make a Christmas table runner to give to my Mom on Christmas Eve when all of my family gathers at my parents' house for our family gift exchange and dinner.
I blogged about your giveaway on my post @ lauralovesquilting.blogspot.com
Hi I would love to win your giveaway. Now I know that Christmas is soon here, and that I should be making a lap quilt for a dear friend but I am short on material....
maybe a table runner or tree skirt would be great. THanks for the chance to win
congratulations on your win, looks like you kitty really likes it to...
I would make a Christmas Quilt for me, well for my house. I don't have one quilt that I made just for me, I make them and give them away to family, friends and my charities...
Congrats on the win!! Great package!
Don't enter me into the giveaway since I won last time, but I'll blog about it!!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi! It would be sooo nice to win a Christmas quilt like you won! Congratulations! What I'd use the vintage Christmas fabric for would be a vintage quilt--I don't have a Christmas quilt to decorate with. Thanks for entering my name.
I included your giveaway in my blog today:
http://straystitches1.blogspot.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-some-news.html
I like to send an "Open Now" gift when I mail my sisters their xmas presents so I would make table toppers from the fabric for them to enjoy while waiting for Christmas.
What a fabulous win!!! I'd say that it passed the cat hair inspection too.
I would love to make a Christmas Pineapple with the fabric.
Beautiful Christmas fabric. If I owned it, I would make mug rugs for gifts. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Thank you for the giveaway. I would make something Christmas with it like a table topper.

Thanks for the giveaway. I'm thinking either tree skirt or placemats.
Hi from South Australia! Congrats on winning that gorgeous quilt...it is lovely! Now, hmmm...if I were to win your giveaway I think I would use the 2 yards of fabric to make a lovely (and easy) Christmas quilt/table cloth to use when my family are over for lunch and dinner on Christmas Day. I would also make some nice little bags from the other fabric, and put them under the K-Mart Christmas Tree with little goodies in them for the Salvation Army to distribute, as I am blessed and we always share some lovin' at Christmas. ps: I have a Christmas Giveaway on my blog too if you would like to enter! Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family. Hugs n Blessings from Sue x
Congratulations on receiving that wonderful quilt. It's so bright and fresh. Perfect for Christmas.
I'd probably make a Christmas tree skirt with the fabrics. We're looking at getting a new tree (bigger) so would need a new skirt for it, right?
Congratulations on winning! What a great giveaway! The fabric is beautiful. I would probably make a table runner and some placemats.

Congratulations on winning such a beautiful quilt. I think I would try and make a quilt that looks liked the one you received. The crisp white borders would highlight the lovely vintage fabrics.
Aren't you the lucky one winning that nice quilt! I've depleted my Christmas fabric stash with recent gift sewing. If I won your fabric I think I would make a square in square small quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm so glad you and kitty liked the quilt! Thanks so much for sharing. Your photos show the quilt much better than mine. ;)
I learned about your giveaway on Linda at Stray Stitches' blog. The lapquilt you won is a great prize. And I am addicted to Christmas fabric. I love all of the collections, and especially love vintage.
I'm posting your giveaway on the sidebar of my blog.
I am not going to lie, I can't guarantee what I would do with the fabrics, but I am looking for "the perfect" fabric to make a few tree skirts, I also have a all hanging AND a throw in the plans but have not found quite the right fabrics to go along with others I have been gifted (from teh 90s too!!) so perhaps these are what I've been lookign for!!
Hmmmm the fabric looks so yummy, and I see a table runner using your fabrics!, I guess Kalli's enjoying your new quilt!
Count me in please, I have blogged about it and i would use it to make Christmas table mats and coasters. Love your cat too by the way, cool pictures.
I read your entry at Stash Manicure today and I too am a Born Again Quilter! :) I took a 6 year hiatus after a big move and I've been going full steam for a few years now. I found it fascinating how things have changed in the quilting world since I started in the mid-90's. Even my style has changed!! Anyway for your giveaway these fabrics would make wonderful placemats or a table runner!
Beautiful fabric. I'd love to make it into a wall hanging!
I just read your post on Stash Manicure and had to check out your blog. Thanks for the giveaway! I would use the fabric to make a real simple x-mas quilt for my mother. I am trying to make a x-mas quilt for everyone in my family as we should all have a x-mas quilt to cuddle under and look at the decorated x-mas tree.
The fabric is lovely. I think I would make a table runner and placemats.
I would use them in the Christmas quilt that I'm planning. Christmas fabrics never grow old!
Christmas fabrics - I would make some Christmas mug rugs or placemats so we can accomodate everyone for holiday family events...we have to find innovative places to eat for the 4 generations. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Thanks for the giveaway. I think I will make a tablerunner or placemats with these fabrics if I'm the lucky winner.
What a great quilt you won! Thanks for the giveaway! I would make a quilt with the fabric.
If I was lucky enough to win, I would make a Christmas table runner.
I would love to win this cute fabric. At the moment I make tons of tablerunner for friends. Or I make some pillowcases for my couch or bed out of it ;-)

I would use the fabric on one of the many gorgeous patterns that I have for Christmas wall hangings. I seem to collect patterns and then don't always get them done but this year I have decided to make a huge dent in the pile! Congratulations on winning the quilt!!! I will put your give away on my post now! :o)
Congratulations on winning the Christmas quilt. I had entered too but I don't seem to be lucky in blog giveaways. I did win once....a pattern. I'll keep trying so....some day I'm sure I'll win something again. If I were to win your vintage Christmas fabric, I'd make a table runner or a table topper. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy belated Thanksgiving....I do have so much to be thankful for.
Beautiful Christmas fabrics. I would make mug rugs for my friends with them. I love to see what other people are making .
If I won your giveaway I would make a table runner. I have decided to make numerous runners for every season and my many moods. Thanks for the chance to win.
Congrats on you win...glad that Kalli approves...cute puss...If I was lucky enough to win I think I would make a start on pressies for next christmas, instead of waiting until the last minute, as I usually do....christmas seems to just sneek up on you....table runners and place mats would be just the thing...LindaB
linda@stationeryworld.net.au...ps no blog yet
If I won I would make a lap quilt for sure for my dad! Lovely quilt and cute kitty!
thanks for the lovely giveaway.
I made a Christmas Tree Skirt earlier this fall. With more Christmas fabrics, I would make another. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love to make a tree skirt, as this year I'm buying a real tree...
