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. :)

Far from ready for Christmas but today is a wrapping prrsent day and I am going to enjoy every minute as I love this part of Christmas prep. Would love to win a charm pack of Kona Solids. Would be perfect for my quilt I want to make for my dad. Happy Holidays.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.
I have a 'winter solstice' baby - my second daughter, who celebrated her 33rd birthday yesterday. Those Kona solids look great.
Can't wait for longer days I'm sick or the dark! Enjoy the holidays :)
And that's exactly why Christmas is in December! It's to represent Christ bringing us out of the darkness of sin, by his birth. So literally, after Christmas our lives have more light! :) A bit of theological nerdyness showing through.... Thanks for having a giveaway!
I am ALL about longer days;) And we are so ready for Christmas too - well, almost;) I have a few more pot holders to make. Those are gorgeous colors - love that dark plum color! thanks for the chance to win. Have a very Merry Christmas!!
I love solid fabrics!
I love the longer days....summer here we come.

I wish I win those beauties!
And a merry christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for the great giveaway! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas. Thank you for the giveaway.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
gosh if days are getting longer fpr you that means they are getting shorter for us - Nooooo we haven't even had a sneak peak of summer yet don't leave yet :)
I'm not the only one who celebrates the advent of longer days on 21 December then!! It is always an excuse for a bottle of wine in this household and lighter evenings can only mean longer sewing hours without artificial light. Have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2011. Jan
LOVE GIVEAWAYS!!!!!! and those charm packs are so pretty. I am with you on celebrating winter solstice. Can`t seem to get use to the cold.
I'm all for longer days!! Have a really lovely Christmas and thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!

I'm ready for longer days (can we add an actual hour or two to each day while we're at it?). Love the Kona colors.
I've never really worked with solids, so this would be fun for me! Thanks for the giveaway!
We were celebrating too because it was our 36th wedding anniversary on the winter solstice!
Dear Amanda! Merry Christmas to you and your family from snowy Moscow, Russia! I am so glad you are still blogging! Cheers, Maria
Definitly a reason to celebrate....we had a lunar eclipse on the solstice...very exciting to watch.
Happy Christmas!
I will celebrate the days getting longer again with you! I always long for daylight!
I am so looking forward to longer days! I'm up north in Seattle where its always overcast anyways but the longer days mean more chance of some sunlight. Yipeee!
Happy Solstice to you on the other side of this world. Merry Christmas.
Kona solids - my favorite fabric!!! Have a Merry Christmas!
Oh beautiful! Please pick me!!!
Happy Stitching!

I always consider winter solstice the first day of summer. Even though here in Minnesota we are covered with snow - but at least the days are getting longer. Love the rich colors!
Gorgeous colors! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

These are beautiful!!!
What gorgeous colors! Oh happy longer days for sure! & Happy Holiday's!
I got up yesterday and said to my husband that from this point on it only gets better. I just hate when I go to work in the dark, and end up coming home in the dark. I never seem to see any sun!
Oh my! Longer Days ~ woohoo!! But the time 6:30 comes along, I'm ready for bed! I hate day light savings time. Beautiful charm squares. Thanks for the give away! sunluvr5@cox.net

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
It might have been the shortest day, but it hasn't gone particularly dark here in the UK for days with all the snow! But at least all the cold weather gives a brilliant excuse for snuggling up under a pile of quilts!

I'd be a lot closer to being ready for Christmas if I didn't have to sleep. I have sewing to do, but the kids are always around! I'm going to have to sneak a nap in and stay up late tonight or something.
Lovely giveaway, by the way. Thank you.
i hope there's gray!
Lovely solids! Happy Holidays!
Yay for longer days! Yay for giveaways!
