Well, I did stock up on needles, as I only had 1 extra! I ended up getting fabrics. They had some cute Christmas fabric that I used on my potpourri and jar mixes this year, so I stocked up on that for next year. And I picked out some fabric that I'm thinking I'll make a bed runner with, but for now, it's in my newly re-organized area. I got a new pair of scissors when I started quilting a few months ago, and added some little thread snippers from a LQS a couple of months ago that I love, so I had those bases covered for now. I hadn't thought about a 4x8 ruler, though. Maybe that'll be the next thing I pick up. It was fun spending it though!
And yes, it is nice to know real people are winning those things! I hadn't really ever won anything like that, and almost thought the email was spam when I first ready it last week! HAHA SO glad I didn't delete it!
