So, apparently next time I decide to do a giveaway I shouldn't add it as a parenthetical on a post. There was but one comment in response to last week's magazine giveaway, which made choosing a winner very easy - but no less exciting to me! I'm thrilled to have dropped off a sweet little packet headed to Lauren S. yesterday at the post office. Here's what she offered as her recent inspirations:

I'm inspired by paper-pieced stars and geometric designs; there are far too many inspiring blogs to list them all, and trying to find the original source is impossible!

And there is actually one paper-pieced star project in the magazine, too! So again, thank you Lauren for taking the time to play along and keep your eyes peeled for the manilla envelope with the above goodies which should be arriving early next week.
