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. :)

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 725 of 725I'm with you. It's hard to sew in the dark. Thanks for the chance to win.
Merry Christmas!
I'm excited to be done with Christmas projects and start quilting. And I love dark colors!
I can't wait either, not just for longer days but warmer days!
Our family celebrates Solstice, too!
Wish me luck!
Thanks for the giveaway chance. Merry Christmas!
Happy winter solstice to you! Down here in Australia though, it means I'm now on the countdown for winter - our summers are far too hot and dry, definitely inappropriate for quilting! The dark and dusky colours would be perfect to start making a snuggly cuddly quilt for the sofa for winter though!
Merry christmas to you and yours.
Yeah to longer days and warmer weather.
Lovely Giveaway to celebrate the Shortest Day. Roll on the Spring! I love Kona solids and this Charm Pack is super.
Ah, winter solstice.... one of the reasons I think I could go to Alaska (in the summer) is the long days they have.
You and my husband must be kindred spirits. He has told me yesterday and today how many more minutes we have of daylight.
Merry Christmas
Yeah for longer days!!! ...and free charm packs too!!!
merry christmas!! Pretty colors!!
Kona solids are always good to work with. I'm thinking of making stars with the lovely colors....If I were to win. Thanks very much.
I love your blog! I'm a beginner quilter, and just started my first quilt 2 days ago. It's nice to have a place to visit on the web for inspirations and instructions! Merry Christmas!
Happy Winter Solsice!! I love those colors!! And a thrilled there is more daylight coming!! I hate getting home from work in the dark!!
Pick me, pick me. LOL.

Thanks for the giveaway!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed..
I love the fact that spring and then summer is now on its way! Of course we'll have to endure some dark cold days before they get here, but hope springs eternal!
Winter Solstice came in with 2 feet of fresh snow. Makes me want to stay inside and make stuff!
I would so love to play with Kona solids while the days grow longer.
Happy winter solstice! In Taiwan, we celebrate this day by eating sweet or meat dumplings with our family. The round dumplings signify family unity. Thanks for the giveaway!
Those are great colors and here is to longer days!
Yes, I agree it is nice to be on the upswing and it is a time for celebration! Happy solstice to you!

My birthday is Dec. 21 - yep, winter solstice - the shortest amount of daylight of the year. So I get gypped every year! At least I know that once I have my birthday, that every day we get another minute or two of light and are headed back to comfortable temps!
Oh I would love those! And I am also jumping for joy that there are some longer days coming!
Ooh, love the purple on the top of that dusty pack!
Please Please Please. I'm dying for some Kona!
Great colors. Happy Holidays!!

I don't mind the cold & snow but I miss the SUN. We go days & days sometimes with no sunshine.No wonder it is dark by 4:30. Nice charms. What a great Christmas present this would be.
Yay for longer days!
Good for you to have longer days...that means we start getting shorter days down under :(
Thanks for the giveaway.
winter solstice moon was amazing! Love the charm packs!
What a lovely giveaway for solstice and I totally agree with you about the short daylight hours and I'm in Florida.
I Heart Kona! If only they had the names written on each charm. :)
Merry Christmas and here's to longer days!
If it's not raining, it's dark. Will be more than ready for Spring when it gets here. Till then, Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Pretty, pretty colors! Perfect for winter!
Merry Christmas!!! :)

Happy solstice and thanks for having such a great giveaway!
I love solids, and want to practice more free motion, so the solids would be nice to work with. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Yup!! I am ready too. (I think that I am solar powered!)
Today felt a wee bit lighter than the day before...or do you think we were imagining that? Here in Oregon we are greedy for every bit of (sun)light.
Merry Christmas to you, and thanks for the giveaway!

We were rockin' on Tuesday too! Even my little kids were making phone calls to relatives to wish them a Happy Winter Solstice and explaining what it was to their friends!
I think I decided that Winter Solstice is my favorite holiday because it means longer days are returning!!!
Love that you are giving away free fabric in celebration of my new favorite holiday! ;)
Whoooo-eeee! Merry Christmas to you and Merry Christmas to us! :)
Christmas Cheer!
