announced Susan as the winner of the Civil War Reproduction fabrics last Saturday, but alas, I have not heard from her. It is kind of my own fault because I didn't follow my own rules very well. I deleted duplicate comments, but forgot to check for contact info, and the winner was already drawn when I realized that I had no contact information for her. If I had been thinking, I would have gone through and removed all the no-contact-info entries at that point and then proceeded with the giveaway. But it was kind of like a pop-quiz and I'm not really quick on my feet. The best thing I could think to do at the time was to go ahead and hope that Susan came back and saw that she was the winner. I kind of owe an apology to everyone who followed the rules. Sorry guys. I'm all about the fair play, but I kind of messed up this time. Will you forgive me?
Here's what I'm going to do: Susan, you have until 8:00 pm MDST tomorrow, March 27, to
email me, and If I don't hear from you by then, I will go back to the
original post and delete all the comments with no contact information and re-draw. I think that way is the most fair. Everyone who didn't have contact information before had a fair chance of winning
{even though they weren't supposed to} and if I have to re-draw, I'll take care of that.

I hope she sees the post, I know she will be disappointed if she is away and hasn't kept up. I have had that happen to me a few times, people never check the winners post.

That sounds only fair to me. Good luck Susan and if not Good Luck to all those who followed the rules completley. I'm one who is all for following the rules, things turn out best that way.
Will be watching for who the new winner is ....
I do hope Susan comes back. What a pity for her to miss out on such a wonderful giveaway.
Congrats to Susan!!! Hope she shows up!
