Country Charm(er).....GIVEAWAY

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick post to show a finished Country Charm(er). I haven't decided on the final name yet.  That's YOUR task.

I love decorating with quilts.  This 8 foot red ladder is perfect for a corner that needs to be brightened up with a quilt.  Key the Christmas music and let's put up the Christmas tree!  A bit premature, but I am in the Christmas spirit after finishing the red/white check binding.


I draped the quilt over/through a non-functional sled that I purchased at a junk shop for a song.  My daughter-in-law gave us the little blue kerosene heater.  It is so funny how many times people give us something and say, "This would look great at the cabin!"  The little heater is a wonderful addition to our collection of treasures/junk shop finds.



Since I'm in a giving, Christmas spirit.....how about a GIVEAWAY!!  Let me know in the comment section or via email  patched55@comcast.net  just what I should name this quilt.  You can vote for Country Charm or Country Charmer or come up with something completely different, and you could be a winner of a pattern to make your own Country Charm(er).  This contest is going to have a quick turn around time, so vote by Tuesday, October 4th, 12pm PST and the pattern winner will be announced Wednesday Oct. 5th.  I don't care where you live, I will send the pattern anywhere in the world.

As always, Zinnie will be the judge with a little help from Mom and Dad.  She is more than willing to be bribed with Kibble and doggie treats, and the decision of the judge is tag-wagging final.

Have a great weekend.  You know the saying, vote early and vote often!


As always,

Lynn

    I very much like what you did wth the borders. The whole quilt looks beautiful, especially with your old sled. That sled made me think "Sledding With The Stars."

    I think that's a beautiful quilt. I love red and white, and the way you have it displayed. I think Country Charm is a nice name for it. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Hi Lynn! looks like Irish chain and with Star blocks, I thought " Chained to the Stars' suited it.
    A beautiful quilt, by the way. The very first quilt I made, after the sampler one I learned on, was a Ohio Star quilt for my Grandson in blues and cream. I love star blocks. :)
