drum roll please!

It’s

LUCY!!!
YAY!

Lucy, please email me your name and mailing address and I will send you 2 fat quarters and a small surprise. My email is wordnerd411@yahoo.com

Here’s how this random drawing was scientifically conducted:

and here’s my completely impartial, preliterate assistant!

So thanks to everyone who joined in, this was fun. I’m still visiting different people’s Fall Festival entries, which will likely take me months. Stick around, everyone, don’t be a stranger!

And for everyone who DIDN’T win, remember I’m doing another small giveaway which will start on Saturday October 24th, when I belatedly throw open my studio right here. So do come back and try again!
