Giveaway winner and Help for tornado victims

Before we get to the winner I just want to share a way we can help those in the US affected by the horrific tornadoes and storms in the mid-west and the south.  Jane shared with me this site, 'Bama Bound Quilts, where they are taking donations for those who were made homeless by the round of storms in April.  If you are aware of other groups taking donations, please share in the comments. I will add them to the post.  You can also make donations through LDS Charities where 100% of your donation goes directly to those in need (none of your donation goes to administrative overhead) or to the Red Cross.

For more opportunities to help or contribute check here:
Old Red Barn Co.
Patchwork Times

I'm continually amazed by the generosity and the difference made by the blogging community coming together in service.

And now the Sew Mama Sew giveaway. Holy guacamole. I think that's the biggest response I've ever had. I'm really sorry I don't have something to give each of you. And now, the winner of the Robert Kaufman roll-up is #549:

drool... this is awesome!
Congratulations Jess, you lucky duck! But do not despair if you didn't win this time - I have another sweet giveaway tomorrow!
(And because a post is not complete without a picture, I finally pulled out these blocks and laid them out for a quilt last night. I think it's going to be a good one.)

  7. Amy... We have several semi trucks leaving in the next few days for Joplin, The trucks will be leaving from our warehouse in American Fork, UTAH. The last one will be next Tuesday, the 31st, and we'd like to see them full if possible. Everything is needed, as these people lost all that they had. :( Summer clothing socks, and shoes for warm weather; diapers, pillows, blankets, emergency kits, toys, toiletries, laundry soap, backpacks and duffle bags, tents and camping gear, anything and everything you could spare... New condition please!
    Anyone living in Utah wishing to donate... give me a holler on my blog... Cuitepinwheel.blogspot.com or e-mail me @ raeannnilson@gmail.com. Thanks!
    Oh... and congrats to Jess!

Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.

I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.

I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!
