That Does It!



Penny no longer has use of my debit card!

What am I going to do? I know! Let's have a guessing contest!

I'll give out these hints, but only these hints, so no amount of sweet-talking, bribing, or groveling will get you any more info:

There are two kits contained in these boxes. And there are two towers in the boxes. And then there are two groups of unusual or different (for me) kinds of items in the boxes. No, it's not another bolt of cheddar! I promise!

The person who guesses all six things exactly will win a $100 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop. If more than one person guesses all six things correctly, we'll draw a name from those folks for that gift certificate. After I investigate if you bribed Kimberly and staff to get the correct answers! :)

Everyone who guesses at least one of the things in these boxes will be put into the hat for another drawing for a $50 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop. How hard can guessing one thing correctly be?

Let's have the drawing at 3:00 pm California time on Sunday 6/27/10. Remember - I have to be able to get in touch with you if you're a winner. So be sure to link to your blog, or leave an email address if you're not a blogger or you are an anonymous commenter.

And after the drawing, I'll have to make my stash report for the week. I'm not looking forward to that.

Bad Penny!!

  1. Hmmm... I am going to say for kits - Frosted Stars (which I wouldn't mind myself) and Bubblegum Brights.

    For the towers, I would say Adoring Fat quarter set, and 12 days of Christmas.

    The unusual items would be the magazine for Bubblegum Brights and some rickrack.

  7. Now this is fun Penny! I think you know you kind boss very well and I tried to contact you somehow. This is what came through. Did I catch it right?
    The kit:
    1. Leap of Faith (first project of Prairie women's sewing circle)
    2. Jungle Rain Quilt Kit - beautiful colors!
    Two towers:
    1. Heirloom Durhan Anew from Lecien
    2. Sage Next Cotten
    The unusual stuf:
    1. triangle paper (you didn't bark which one)
    2. pack of moda candy bars (Penny loves candy, I think).

    What fun this was, Vicky, going through parts of the FQS webshop that I normally don't go to. I think I might join the 'Tiny Town' block of the month quilt. I love designs by Bunny Hill and the fabric range chosen!

    Well Penny, I look forward to see what you actually debited (O:

  8. scattered stars quilt kit (because we all love Carries patterns!), Lumiere de Noel quilt kit , just beautiful.
    the towers you probably bought are
    Lumiere de Noel cause you don't want to run out and then Park Avenue Petite,
    the two different things....hmmm the bundle of wool?
    the light and the dark

    and I really hope you taught Penny how to type my address!

  13. OK, I am going to do this without reading anyone else's posts so that I don't get distracted...

    The Scrap basket surprises kit
    Designer Mystery 2010 block and finishing kit
    Lumiere de Noel tower
    Fresh Cotton tower

    This is where I get stuck....

    I bet you got a pack of the candy bars by Moda, maybe with a pattern?
    Maybe some Halloween Night by Minnick and Simpson fabric? A charm pack or some yardage. It is very cute fabric!!! lol

    How'd I do??? :-D

  14. the LAST time i followed your link to The Fat Quarter Shop i pushed too many buttons (Penny would have been proud) - so THIS time i stayed away from the SALE ... i think the towers might be 12 Days of Christmas and Lumiere de Noel - and the kits might be, too - cuz i know that you don't like to run outta anything ... i dunno, though - what WOULD be unusual or different for you?!? you DID order that bolt of cheddar ... maybe charm packs (cuz you don't usually go small when you order fabric - again, the BOLT of cheddar!!!) and ... uhm ... an apron pattern?

  15. I'm going to guess the two kits are Lumiere de Noel & Scattered Stars, the two towers are both Fresh Cottons & the two different items are 8yds of Lumiere de Noel Pearl & Red St Catherine Yardage & one spool of French General Trim - Dots. I'm sure I'm way off, but it was fun to browse FQS. Hugs to Penny.

  16. Well, I certainly hope Penny poked some buttons for things you liked!

    I'm really bad at guessing games, but here are my guesses: Lumiere de Noel Moda kit, French General trim, Scattered Stras quilt kit, Park Avenue fat quarters, and Jelly Bean holiday happy fat quarters, by Monica Snow. Oh and how about those Moda candy bars? Am I even close? Can't wait to see your goodies.

  17. I am only guessing, but the Kate Spain Christmas fabric, and the new Moda Candy bar????

  18. Oh I have no idea -will not get 6 so will take chances on the other raffle...

    Chocolate bars - and Lumiere de Noel tower??

    Jungle Rain kit?

    I guess I should have looked at where you ordered from -that might have helped me.
