It's hot, you've decided to take a quick break in the A/C and check some blogs, and low and behold! That Nancy is having another give away! A beautiful 50" x 60" whole cloth throw made from Sis Boom's Pretty Please, Flower Power or Dance with me lines...I haven't decided yet...
You must comment on my blog and come back to visit often. The raffle will end one week from today, July 27th, in honor of what would have been my dad's 85th birthday.

My dad was an amazing American Folk Artist. Inspired by the flotsam and jetsam , flora and fauna, discarded ropes, key chains, fish hooks, lobster pots and buoys, old cigar boxes and pipe cleaners. His works of art showed the paths he walked, seas he sailed, and often things he found along the way. His method was relaxed and solitary, emerging from his studio only when his piece was done. When asked how long it took him, he would often reply, “ Oh, that one is a three martini!” I think of him in all my artistic endeavors. Cheers, Dad.

Hi!
I found you in Mary Jane's Farm magazine. I LOVE your saddle pads. They are beeeautiful! And I love your answer for when people ask why you keep keeping your horses =) I'm going to start answering that way when my Dad asks me why I still have my big guy...
LOL
I'm heading off to your store!

oh, and btw, I follow your blog (it is in my blog list) but I don't know how to become a follower as there isn't a little button I can click... and if there isn't, I don't know how to do it! (or at least I don't see one... that by no means says there isn't :-)
I'd be spoiled to win something from you again, but that won't stop me from trying. Thanks for the chance.
Your dad sounds amazing! How cool would that be to sail so many seas and then create art from his endeavors.
Great giveaway! I am a follower.

What a special Dad you were blessed with! His talent certainly flows through you - he must be very proud.
Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog, but it is very cute. Love the variety of topics you've covered. Keep it coming!

I'm not yet a follower, having just found your blog this morning. But when I return tomorrow, that means I AM a follower! So much good stuff here. Off to read some more. (And to dream of the quilt . . . )
Remembering your dad on his birthday. When my dad passed on he was 84. He kept talking about reaching the magical 85 but was just a month short. Nearly 85 was just as good to us ! Love that picture.. he looks like a great adventurer!
Hi Nancy,
I got here just in the knick of time! I would be proud to own one of your beautiful works so count me in. I hope you are having a great summer...

p.s. what a beautiful remembrance of your father. Love his work ...
Beautiful fabric as always.. My husband has the same birthday as your dad.. Amazing people born on that day!
