follow-up: 500 posts!

Just the other day, I finished making something for my friend, Tristan Robin Blakeman. When I reached 500 posts, he entered the drawing and won the prize of: “Art by me, made for YOU!” I won’t share exactly what I created for him until he receives it, but here’s a peek of what is on its way to Connecticut!


Tristan and I shared art monthly, for 2 years through the Colour Groupies – a small closed group of friends that creates and trades ATCs on a color-combo theme. Tristan and I also used to live in the same state! Last year before moving to Florida, I met Tristan in person at a play he had a part in. He had let the group know that he was going to be performing in New Haven, and I drove down to see him and meet him in person!! So! When Tristan won this prize, I’d say I was a little intimidated?? Wanted to create something he would like . . . and thought about it for a while.  Tristan told me,
“I have no ideas or instructions LOL. I really admire all your work, and anything you make just for me will be a treasure to me!”
I promise to share it here after he receives it –be on the lookout, Tristan!

As far as the other prizes, Elaine has received her pile of fabric : )  “Lenna...my prize package filled with fabric arrived. I love it all. Thanks so much for your generosity. ”
Judi has been busy with quilt shows but happily let me know that received the collage goodies (something like this!):

Diane  is looking forward to free registration in my next creative swap, when she returns from vacation. I will be announcing a Garden Variety Postcard swap sponsored by Alpha Stamps - next weekend!    

Maggie has received the supply list for my Mini Art Quilt Book class and when she is ready I will start sending her the lessons and answering any questions!

That was fun  :^ ) maybe I should do a give-away more often!
