Yesterday was winter solstice, which means as of today, the days start getting longer. Yipee! That's
great news if you ask me. So, to celebrate, (yes, I am serious, I'm celebrating!) I'm giving away a 2 charm packs of Kona cotton solids in the
dusty and
dark color palettes. I'll pick two winners, (one charm pack for each) on Christmas Eve. Here's to longer days!!! Hope you are ready for Christmas. :)

just learning how to use solids more confidently and woefully low on them so would dearly love this!
I love the winter solstice too - here in Brighton we have a fantastic procession called the Burning of the Clocks - google it, it's fab!
Merry Christmas - you have such a great blog - I love your quilting tutorials, and I just spent a happy hour going thru posts from the very beginning - thank you!

Yay for longer days! Happy holidays to you and yours! Thanks for writing a great blog!
I've been loving seeing all the quilts out there being made with Kona solids!
Yipee, I am sEw excited for longer days. I just wish the longer days meant.......like 36 hours. That would make me very happy!!! Winning the Kona charm squares would put a smile on my face too!! Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas to all!!
I love the longer days! Xmas is even better with give aways!
I'm all for longer days, especially since I have two table runners and a quilt to quilt and get bindings on (before Christmas Eve!!!)
Just knowing the days are getting longer is a Christams gift itself!
Here comes the light! My mom and I spent the day sewing and I went from "oh no!" to "maybe." Certainly Christmas will come either way! bridgit at tomcook (dot) net
A big "CHEERS!" to longer days!
Great giveaway - thank you!
yay for longer days! and for a giveaway!
Merry Christmas -- and thanks for a chance at your giveaway!
So glad the days are getting longer again! I am so tired of darkness!
Looking forward to the sunshine this summer! I'm experiencing my first real winter this year. We moved from Texas to Michigan in Sept. I'm tired of the white. Maybe a colorful charmpack would help? ;D
Yes, hallelujah to longer days! Thanks for the great giveaway too :)
It's one of my favorite days as it's also my daughter's birthday! thanks for the give-away
So glad you decided to celebrate this way! What a nice Christmas present! Merry Christmas.
Happy holidays! Thanks for the chance!

I never cared that much about the solstice until I moved NORTH. Now, in rainy ol' Portland, it's a significant day. The light will return! Yippee!
I wish I would have been able to enjoy it... but lately I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark... so I never even noticed that it was a "short" day!
Happy Winter Solstice! Almost ready for Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway.
Helloooo Longer days!!! What a lovely present! Thank you. Merry Christmas!
I would love to win
Please & Thank You,
Bo
I've had enough of winter already. Those colors are beautiful, and you can't beat charm squares to play with.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the give-a-way
Yay for the return of the sun!
Yay, to longer days...Personally, I wouldn't be upset if they kept DST all year long...
Yummy colors! Merry Christmas!
not makes me happier than kona solids... happy holidays!
Happy Winter Solstice! :) I am ready to see a little more sunshine.
It always amazes me when winter solstice arrives. While I like the longer days, I am content with winter at present. Happy Holidays to you.
I guess I'm the odd man out I love the short days I love winter and the night. Thanks for a chance to win.

Thanks for the chance to win! The colors are great!
I just saw kona charms in a lqs for the first time last week. I wish more places carried them!

How fun and generous of you! I didn't even know the solstice happened! But I'm all about more sunshine!
So excited for the days to get longer!!
Here's to lighter days!
Nice! I've been hearing that Kona is good fabric. Now, using these solids would be a challenge for me as I'm not a solid fabric fan. But, I'm willing to try. :-)
Yay! I'm so over winter's deary days. More sunshine makes me happy!
Days are getting longer - that's the best way to look at it while you're digging out of another snowstorm! Merry Christmas!
I'll keep my fingers crossed! Either way I am looking forward to seeing the sun for longer each day.
Hello my name is: I would love to win these charm squares! I've really wanted to buy the dusty palette for a long time but haven't been able to justify buying fabric for myself, this would be a great present!
Happy Holidays including winter solstice!
I'm ready for longer days and more quilting time.
Since learning to quilt is going to be a priority come the New Year- these would be great!
Longer days are my favorite, that and Kona.
More time to quilt at night! Merry Christmas!
Happy Solstice and Merry Christmas!
Thanx for putting up the great giveaway. Please do count me in.
Yay! Happy Soltice! Thanks for the giveaway! Love those solids!

Here's to longer days! Yippee! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Cheers for longer days! Apparently the wholesale deal was only for sergers, so I'm on my new computer now! Talked to Kathy and everything's FINE!!!! Wants to do April and November retreats--are you interested?
I'm pretty excited about longer days too.
I, too, am glad the light is coming back. There's something to be said for the darkness (I'm a night owl!) but even I like to see the sun set later than 3:50pm!
Thank you for the opportunity and happy holidays to you.
Happy Solstice to you too! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Oh, I haven't any solids in my stash whatsoever, so this would be an awesome thing to win! Thank you for the giveaway, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! :) {jody(dot)edwards(at)yahoo(dot)com}
I can't tell you how happy it makes me that the days are now getting longer!

I know, I can't wait until its sunny again when I head into and home from work. Plus its only a quarter of a year until Spring. Sounds better than 90 days and counting ...
Longer days means more time to quilt! Yay! And I love those Kona Colors!
I know that I am very very happy about the prospect of 28 additional seconds (or whatever it is) every day!
Happy solstice!
I mark that as a great day too! The more light, the better!
I am looking forward to longer days too!!!
wow! thanks for the added bonus to longer days :)
Kona Kona yes!!!!!! how nice to have this :) to complete my dream quilt!
