Needle and ThREAD

New Blogger Contest Winners

Hooray, for everyone who played! Whatever your results, I’m grateful for your effort. I had a heap of fun, and I hope you did, too.

The answer to the cryptogram is as follows:

Come in the evening,
Come in the morning,
Come when expected,
Come without warning;
Thousands of welcomes
You’ll find here before you,
And the oftener you come,
The more we’ll adore you—Irish Rhyme

I love that. I figure it’s a message from me to you and from all of us to our new blogger, who, (drum roll, please) is the brilliant, talented, and oh-so-fun

Congratulations, winners!

The baseball bookmark kit is available in the Funk & Weber Shop, of course, and after many requests, it will also be available as a downloadable pattern next month. Janie’s elegant Flower Juggler’s Bookmark pattern will be available in the JHD Emporium (even her shop is elegant!) soon, if not right this minute.

Janie is a blast-and-a-half. I’ve always loved her designs and innovative finishing. She is all kinds of great things that I am not, so I think we’re going to be an awesome team, and I’m thrilled to have her on board here. We’re in for some fun.

She’ll be here soon to introduce herself. I can’t wait for you to meet her!

  1. Well, yay! I wasn’t going to enter since I was hosting part of the puzzle, but the lure of the cryptogram was too strong. I love solving puzzles! And the Janie’s bookmark is perfect for my MIL!

  2. The design from Janie is gorgeous. Thanks so much for the chance to play. (Winning ain’t so bad either 😉 )
