Harvest Song Week 1 Winner

 Beautiful weather today.  I think it's 75 degrees out there.  Yesterday I got another two flats of seeds started and I am so ready for my garden.  It won't be long now.

I had my kids and grand kids all over for dinner today after church and it was so nice to see them all at the same time.  The weather has been so nasty each weekend that we have skipped family dinners for quite a while.  It's nice to be back in the routine.  

We have a winner for Week #1 in the drawing for a little bundle of Harvest Song fabrics.  

The winner for Week #1 is Christine M. from  WY.
Congratulations!

Next week is a new drawing for another bundle.
So, here's what you do for the Week 2 (another bundle of 7 fat quarters):

1. Email me at PGPeddler@aol.com before next Saturday night, April 5, at midnight central time. If you are not sure of this time zone, make sure you email before Saturday.

2. In the Subject LINE of the email put PUMPKINS.
This is very important.  ALL emails without this exact wording are not considered for the drawing.

3. In the BODY of the email- put your name and mailing address.

WE do not share this info with anyone, in fact, we delete them after the drawing.  This just makes it faster to ship the fabric TO YOU. If you win, we only post your first name, last initial and state for privacy reasons.

It's Finally Here!

Spring, that is. My tomatoes are about 8" tall and we just transplanted them into single pots- just counting down the weeks to be planted outside. Yesterday we got a bunch of onions in the ground.  I think today we will get some beets and broccoli started.  I am already to be outside even though we are expecting some snow again this next week.

My new fabric line, Harvest Song, is available in the stores now so I am going to do a drawing over the next few weeks for a little sample/ bundle of the line.  Click here to see the whole line..... Benartex

Here is the panel that goes with the line...

For the drawings each week, all you have to do is email me your name and address by Saturday night, midnight. Details below.   I will post the winners names each Sunday.

If you don't put your full name and address BOTH in there, we will make a big ~~sigh~~ and draw another name. This happens more often than you know.

It's March FINALLY!

  Seems more like April Fool's Day(you know, a big joke) than March 1 but it's finally here after the longest February in history.  It must have been documented by now.  Unfortunately, we are celebrating today with  6"-8" of snow again starting this afternoon. Winter's starting to really drag on.  Maybe it's more like the Groundhog Day movie and we are just stuck in the snow and ice pattern with it coming over and over again.  

 I have not felt like working lately, maybe it's winter depression,  or some family illness but probably and most likely just laziness.  I see a change on the horizon though with the turn on the calendar page.  It has to end sooner or later, right?  Has this been the longest winter in history to you?  I'm still waiting for that global warming to kick in. 

I did start my seeds last week and I now have 9' of window space full of little sprouts.  I am going to start a few more flats this weekend so we have a bunch big enough to plant outside when the weather allows.  I am so ready for spring. 

I started a lot of lettuce varieties in window boxes this year so I can set them out on the deck railing and cut lettuce all summer.  So far I have Romaine and spinach up.  I have Red Sails, Arugula and Butter crunch to start this weekend.  I've never done lettuce in planters before so we will see if it works. We eat a lot of salad.  My parsley is still growing in my living room from last year.

I have two flats of tomatoes, Jet star (our favorite) and this year we are trying Rutgers for some variety.  I will start a new flat of Jet Star every 10 days so we have tomatoes coming on through October.  I started a bunch of pepper varieties so far.  I have broccoli and some flowers up already also.

I have a new line of fabric out called Harvest Song.  Here's a sneak peek-


I am hoping to post it soon but waiting for the official pictures. My camera shots don't do it justice.   Hopefully, it will come soon.  I have my fabric, I already cut it into bundles and I'm ready to do another drawing on the Blog this month in March. 

 Stay tuned.
