    I am a follower from just around a few towns away from you. I met you on the Hot Mama Apron Swap way back sometime early last year. I think that little owlie sure would be good friends with my little orange owlie and my gnomie...just sayin'

    Of course I follow your blog--who dosen't?? i found you during a Hot Mama apron Swap and since have made some of your projects (baby wipes) and I have ordered the super cool shopping bag pattern you have made soooo many adorable ones of! I would love to own one of your owls. Please draw me. If you do, I want the last owl necklace at your Etsy shop. You can ship it all together to KY :)

    I'm a follower (and fan!) of your blog! I honestly don't remember how I found you. On one day I was searching for a specific tutorial (I can't even remember what it was for), and clicked one link and led to another and so on and found a couple of fun blogs that day that I've followed since. I'm here in the hot midwest and ready for some cooler weather!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Hi:
    My name is Teresa Alcantara and I am a follower. I live in Spain. I don´t remember from which blog but I saw your owl bag featured and here I am.

    I think that your lovely owl would like to travel to Spain and maybe be featured on my own blog. Go check if you want, I just put a translator on it.

    Kisses from Spain

    Congrats on 300 followers! I am already lucky enough to have one of your beautiful owls though honestly I only recently worked up the courage to stick pins in him. It didn't hurt him too much and he loves his new job holding onto my sewing pins! He seems happy living here.

    Hi Karen!
    I've been one of your followers since I found your blog (after you won the Friday Night Sew-In). I live in beautiful s.w. Onario, Canada. I learned to sew when I was 12, although I've only been quilting for about 8 years.
    I LOVE your owlies! They have such cute expressions, and your embroidery work makes them very special.
