Thanks to all who entered my holiday fabric giveaway–it was so much fun to read your sweet comments and tweets. Congratulations to Heather Solos , whose twitter entry was crowned the big winner—even if she did make a typo in my twitter name 
—by the random number generator! It just so happens that Heather lives in my town and is a blogger extraordinaire—she gives sage advice at Home Ec 101 , herds cats (or bloggers, as the case may be) at Lowcountry Bloggers and for Charleston’s Social Media Club, and can also be found posting from time to time at Blissfully Domestic , Moncks Corner Moments , and probably others I don’t even know about. I can’t wait to see what Heather will do with her fabric!
