Blogger's Pillow Party ~ February 2011 Winner

I was given the great pleasure of choosing a winner for this month's Blogger's Pillow Party going on over at Stitched in Color.  Remember this post? 


With more than 75 entries I am grateful that it was Rachel's job to narrow down all of the wonderful entries to just 9.  Still, it was not an easy decision to make.

Starting from top left:


1.  Bright and airy in Central Park by The Petting Zoo.
2.  "Petals" with words to live by from Suzanne Loves...
3.  The Eiffel Tower by Stolen Moments
4.  Purple stitches in reverse applique by Maureen Cracknell Handmade
5.  "Little Gems" in yoyos by Pickup Some Creativity
6.  Re-purposed Ruffles by a Stitch & a Prayer
7.  "Party Napkin" in Solids by you know what i love?
8.  A Rainbow Hexagon by Erica's Essential Suchness
9.  scrapy-happy log cabin by Jacey Craft

First I would like to thank all of the entrants for the beautifully handmade contributions.  I appreciate the time, effort and passion behind each and everyone of your projects.  I have enjoyed stopping by and checking out your blogs to read about the process and the stories behind the pillows.  Unfortunately there could be only one winner:

Congratulations to Arajane from You Know What I Love?

Arajane obviously knows what I love!  Half Square Triangles are my obsession, I love making these simple blocks without ever tiring of the process.  Arajane is also working on a baby quilt using the same fabrics and design; I look forward to seeing more of this quilt:


Arajane has won a bundle of fabric generously sponsored by Fresh-Squeezed Fabrics:
16FQs 9 (4 yards) from the Delilah range by Tanya Whelan
Congratulations Arajane - Rachel will contact you shortly.
