219 stockings
I am seriously floored. That's more than four times the amount of stockings I was hoping to get. You guys rock! I never imagined that so many people from around the world would be willing to help make stockings for the foster kids. Not only have you made stockings, but some of you have donated money and even gifts to put in the stockings. Your generosity astounds me. I know it is because of you that these children will have a brighter holiday season.
Because I received so many stockings, I had to quickly figure out where the extras were going to go (my foster center doesn't need 200 stockings!) Most of them will be going to the foster children I work with and the rest will be distributed to other foster care centers in the central virginia area. I also will be taking a few to the hospital my husband works at where they will be given to kids who have to stay overnight on Christmas Eve. We are having a stocking stuffing party this next week so look for pictures of that soon!
Now on to the giveaway. Again another plug to go visit my awesome sponsors who have made this such a fun event. I used my friend Mr. Random Number Generator because my usual go to guy is very busy studying for an exam about how people breathe (apparently knowing that information is important). I thought I had saved the images of the random number but apparently I did not do that properly so you'll just have to take my word for it! =)
$50 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop goes to Ella
The countdown to christmas charm pack from Sweetwater fabrics goes to Joyce C.
The fat quarter pack donated by Tallgrass Prairie Studio goes to Melissa
The "Mystery" red and green fabric bundle donated by Pink Castle Fabrics goes to Jessica!
Happy Early Christmas to our winners and again THANK YOU to everyone who participated.
Quilters rock!
