Remember I told you I was making a quilt out of something made from wood. None of you guessed the right answer. A few said toothpicks, I did that this past spring:
Here is the one I was working on....
Can you tell what I used? It is wooden clothespins! They have been covered with mini ric rac and ribbon and buttons. Each corner has a polka dot button.
I am also doing a little giveaway in celebration of Canadian quilters. You don't have to be from Canada to enter though! I adore all of you=) I picked up these beauties at Quilt Market and they are from Art Gallery Fabrics. I really like this company, the fabric has a very soft supple feel to it. The winner will win a fat quarter of each fabric shown below. This is all from the same collection.
All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment telling me where you are from. If you don't want to do that, tell me your very favourite junk food. Mine is stale red licorice. And it has to be stale so it is nice 'n' chewy. I will pick a winner on August 3, 2012. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Jackie, I'm from BC, but now residing in Kindersley, Sask. I like salty junk.
I'm in Chatham Ontario - but I used to live on Manitoulin Island!
Sorry, I don't eat junk food so no favorite for me. I guess the closest thing would be frozen yogurt..cherry!
Hello:) I'm from Ontario.
My favourite junk food is stale licorice too....any flavour except the green minty flavour.
Hi Jackie, you can guess where I am from. Love your new quilt with clothes pins, I would never have guessed. I love ice cream mostly any flavour. Met l really nice lady in a quilt shop in Woodstock and she was in your quilt guild and knew you. I forgot to ask her her name. But she said you were a real sweetie who made beautiful quilts. As if I didn't know that already. Blessings Sanera

Hi Jackie:
I have to agree with Ginette, Farm Boy JuJubes are the best. I usually take them on quilt retreats and they are always gone by the second day of retreat.
Hi Jackie,
I live in North Vancouver, BC ... and my favourite junk food - that's hard! Chocolate, caramel, ice cream ... or chocolate-caramel ice cream ... Thank you for the giveaway!
I thought I was the only one who deliberately opened the liquorice packet so that it goes hard before I eat it.
Might have to start a secret society!!!
I am from Adelaide, South Australia.
I'm from the Yukon. I love jujubes - I'd love to try the Farm Boy ones that are recommended in your comments :)
