I NEED your VOTE!

UPDATE:  You can vote here!!! Put in my name "Lanetta" and follow the directions!! THANK YOU!

I’m calling on all family members and friends! Please vote for me! Vote today, and every day, through March 15^th!

I was the first one to enter the Bernina USA Quilts for Furry Friends Contest, so you may find my entry on the “Last” page. And, at this writing, I’m the ONLY one from Texas that entered the contest!

Or, you can vote through their Facebook page. 

I’m writing this at 5:00 a.m. – because I’m working the “Super Tuesday” election – so I don’t have the specific, direct link to share with you! I won’t be on the Internet until late tonight! Bummer!

So please, please – vote for me! And if you would be so kind, share the link with your family and friends and ask ~ on my behalf ~ for their vote as well!

Thank you so much!

I hope you have a blessed day!

Lanetta!

Quilts for Furry Friends

It’s so hard for me to throw away any fabric scraps. It must be itty bitty before it finds its way into the trash can. Even then, I want to save, and use it to stuff something, or tie it onto a heart-shaped coat hanger! While watching television at night, I’m working on a wall hanging for my new sewing room!

Each project I do, I know I’ll have fabric left over. Trust Me: It’s much better than running out of fabric before the end of a project! Anyway ~

What to do with what’s leftover? It is usually not big enough to make much of anything else so it goes in the box of scraps. (I had to laugh after re-reading that last sentence… as if I only have one box of scraps!) I’m constantly looking for small, worthwhile, projects to do.

Then I saw this post yesterday in a (UK based) Facebook group that I’m part of, “Helping Hands –stitching and sewing for good causes”:

For any USA members, make kennel quilts for local shelter and get the chance to win this cute machine .. sad I can't enter

Yes! I went to the link (I hope you do as well!) and read everything about the project! I “liked” the Bernina Facebook page and read more…

BERNINA is helping by donating to the Petfinder Foundation and The Quilt Pattern Magazine's Kennel Quilt Team. Click here to learn more.

I “liked” the TQPM Small Kennel Quilts Facebook page. And, of course, the Petfinder Foundation page. The Quilt Pattern Magazine is another page I clicked to “like”!

You can find the official rules for entering the contest here.

You can find the kennel quilt guidelines here! Lots of patterns available!

It is not about a chance of wining a Bernina 350, although I’m sure I could find a wonderful use for it! It’s helping the animals awaiting their forever home!

I am the only entry – so far! Check it out! Then, vote daily beginning 03/01/2016 through 03/15/2016!!!

Don’t worry, I’ll remind everyone!

Be sure to let me/us know if you also create one and enter the contest!
