Give Away Winners and Penguin Block

Thank you all for your sweet and fun comments on my post for Susie's Simply Striped Accent Pillow Blog Hop.  Be sure to stop by Susie's to see the other versions sewn by fellow quilter friends-- of her pillow)-- Here's my Shamrock version!
I asked my husband and daughter (neither of whom have looked at the blog or the comments) to each pick a number from 1 to 15 for my random choice of winners.  
The numbers they chose were 2 and 11.  And the winners are:  Deb of Mountain Musings has won Susie's pattern and Ellee has won my set of Scrappy Greeting Cards!  (I will contact you soon.)

For those of you still interested in Susie's pattern, it is only $2.99 on Craftsy.  Also Susie and some of the other participating bloggers are having giveaways that are still open.
 But if you buy the pattern, as a bonus, Amanda, the Patchsmith is also including a copy of her Scottie Dog Mug Rug Pattern ($1.99 value) with the added perk of the reduced size of the Scotties to fit on the stripe!  But hurry the offer is only good through March 8th.
Amanda's darling version.
It has been a lot of fun to sew the pillow and see all the wonderful creativity the quilters have incorporated in sewing their pillow's with Susie's pattern!

Finally, here is my penguin block for Kristie's Zoo Animal Block of the Month Quilt along.  

I've tweaked the pattern a bit as the original pattern features a baby penguin, whose face is black and white and his body is gray.


January and February blocks.  The March block is a Polar Bear.
Thanks for stopping by!
