Announcing the Winner of the Instagram Giveaway

June 2016 Winner of Instagram Giveaway

Congratulations go out to @thequiltingdoberman!

In other news, did you know that you can now find The Big Acorn Race in Barnes & Noble (and wherever books are sold). I don’t know if that’s a big deal, but when I saw that the book had ventured beyond the realm of Amazon and out into the big wide world, it really gave me quite a thrill. It’s like watching it fly out of the nest. (Sorry, weird metaphor. How would I know what that’s like? I should’ve interviewed a bird before saying such a thing.)

We’re working hard on getting the book into yarn shops nationwide as well. I’ll keep you posted on where you can find these little squirrels and their adventure.

Congratulations to the Winners of The Big Acorn Race Giveaway!

Hodge and Podge and I are pleased to announce the winners of the first ever Big Acorn Race Giveaway! Thankfully the Gleam Giveaway app does all the work of picking random winners. (Podge was worried that she would have to do it, and she can’t take that kind of pressure.)
