Let me introduce myself. I'm Zinnie, a 3 year-old Golden Retriever. I used to be a very regal-looking dog until my humans put this.....
ridiculous, plaid blindfold around my eyes and turned me into a random number generator. Don't they know I can't read yet?
Anyway, 61 quilters entered the contest to win 10 Christmas fat quarters and a quilt pattern. My job, and you know I love to please, was to pick the winner from the comments and emails. All the entries were logged according to date and time received, and then given a number on one of my doggie cookies.
Should I eat them in order, or just be random?
I need to have a thoughtful moment of prayer and say grace before this weighty decision and eating.
Okay, I'm ready now and I'm inching toward a winner.
My noses feels like the spinner on the Wheel of Fortune.
Should it be #46? PamKittyMorning......no, you are rich and famous and you have your own wonderful line of fabric with a new one on the way called Pam Kitty Love. Sorry Pam, KITTY, I mean really?!?!? How about Pam PUPPY Love? Now that's more like it! That's my cup of kibble.
Should it be #29, my mom's friend Karen, who drives all the way from Los Banos to quilting class at In Between Stitches? No, sorry Karen, but I'll share my cookies with you.
And the winner is #12 Elizabeth, The Catskill Quilter! Let's give a round of a-paws!
(Elizabether doesn't have a blog that you can go visit.)

500 posts!?!? Congrats to you! I appreciate your posts, and I always have my coffee at my elbow when I read them. Thanks for being there day after day for us!
So until the next contest........I'll be curled up at my mom's feet while she blogs and quilts. Thank YOU all for being there day after day with us.
As always,
Zinnie
That's the cutest drawing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteNow that was funny......
ReplyDeleteI just think Zinnie is SUCH a love! Great job Zinnie!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your method! Very scientific! You must have been giggling the whole time setting this up and having great fun with Zinnie. I always play games with my Lucky, a Yellow Lab. Hide and go seek, the sock game, dress up, you name it...love our sweet companions! Congratulations to Elizabeth!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! With a name like Catskill how could Zinnie pick any other name!! haha Purrr-fect choice!
ReplyDeleteP
LOL ! The best drawing I ever participated in :-D
ReplyDeleteA big Congrats Elizabeth !
Excellent! Well done, Zinnie for being such a clever dog! And well done to the winner!
ReplyDeletePlease give Zinnie a big hug and pat on the head for all that hard work! What a wonderful dog, and how lucky are you to have such a helpful assistant!?!
ReplyDeleteZinnia, you are too cute! And so good, even if you didn't pick my number.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Elizabeth! Well done Zinnie (even though you didn't pick me!) xxx
ReplyDeleteGood doggie! What a cute post, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Elizabeth!
I get it Zinnie! I don't know about Rich or Famous, but my second line of fabric is coming out. It has a couple of cute pups on it..you'll have to take a second look! Congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteOh Zinnie, your willpower is amazing! I would have gobbled up all those cookies and forgotten to look at which number I gobbled first! Congratulations to Elizabeth! By the way, the blindfold is cute, but I think it would look better as a holiday kerchief around your neck - lol!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Lynn, what a darling, wonderful dog! I am amazed that Zinnie was so dignified - almost shy! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteToo much fun! Good job Zinnie.
ReplyDeleteOpps. What fun, and thanks for the chuckle. I hope Zinnie gets to eat all the treats, but maybe not all at once.Looking forward to many more milestones for you Lynn.
