Patterns from the Past Giveaway Winner

I hope you've all had as lovely a holiday season as I have so far. I had a great, lazy and relaxing Christmas at home with my husband and Vinnie the Cat. I also got exactly what I wanted for Christmas, a beautiful Bergans of Norway coat that I have been visiting regularly and dreaming about. Do any of you make regular visits to the mall to remind that special something that you haven't forgotten about it?

I hope that those of you who celebrate the holidays got some wonderful presents and time with your family. The thing I'm looking forward to the most about moving back to the U.S. (Let the 7 month count down begin!) is being able to spend more holidays with my family. I love my husband and would follow him anywhere, and living in Norway has been an amazing experience, but Christmas is always hard. Missing family is the #1 ingredient a girl needs to be homesick.

But back to happy things, it's time for one lucky reader to treat themselves to $50 worth of patterns from Patterns from the Past!
