Just to remind you all what was up for grabs...
Pattern A
Pattern B
Pattern C
I say boo to automatic number generators! I wanted to have a much more fun way of picking the winners, and my idea involved a big jar of ping pong balls, a texta, a bucket, and an excited puppy!
So each ping pong ball was numbered, and put into this bucket:
A friend of mine bought me this bucket cause it has a puppy on it that looks remarkably like Miss Stella! When its not being used for crazy things like this, it serves as my rubbish bin in my sewing room.
The ping pong balls were then swirled around and tipped on the floor in front of an excited Miss Stella, and the ball she picked up and ran off with was the winner!
First up - Pattern A (which had the most entrants by the way).
I tipped the bucket out in front of Miss Stella...
And she picked ball number 3!
Which corresponded to MEGAN ARNOL!!!!!!
Next up, Pattern B (which had the least number of entrants). I tipped out the bucket...
And once again she picked ball number 3!
Which corresponded to SORBET SURPRISE!!!!!
Then I reloaded the bucket for the last time to draw for Pattern C. I tipped out the bucket...
And this time she picked up ball number 18!
Which corresponded to ESZ!!!!!!
And after all that I decided I had to give Miss Stella her own ping pong ball. Each time she'd pick one and run off with it and I had to chase her down and ask her to give it back. She was none too pleased! But she was happy when I gave her her own to crunch on!
So HOORAY for Megan Arnol, Sorbet Surprise, and Esz!!! Can you all please send me an email at beccieblossom(at)gmail.com so I can get your patterns off to you in the mail!
