First I want to thank everyone for their donations to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation.  My goal was $500.00 and with your generosity, I raised $825.00!  I cannot tell you how much this means to me.  Every time I got a notification that someone had donated to my page, I got a little teary.  I am so fortunate to have so many kind, generous and loving people in my life.  I would also like to say that the quilting community is just awesome.  I would say that the majority of donations came from my quilty friends…ones I know and ones that I have never met.  You guys are so awesome.  I’m so glad I am a part of it and have made so many great friends.

I know, I know, shut up and announce the winner already, right?  I am so pleased to announce that the winner is Scott Hoffman.  He is a friend that my husband knows through autocross.  His daughter is also affected by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.  She is actually in Germany right now recovering from a very complicated and dangerous surgery.  You can read more about her here.  I could not be happier that Mr. Random Number Generator chose him!

Here’s how I chose the winner.  First, I made a spreadsheet with a name for every $5.00 donation.  I then put the list into the random generator (at random.org) and mixed all the names up.

I had a total of 155 names.  Then, I put that number into the random number generator and it selected number 140, Scott Hoffman!

My husband, Perry was there as a witness.  My cat Fuller was there also, but he’s not a very reliable witness.  He can be kind of shifty.

Congratulations to Scott and Chelsea.  I hope that the quilt will help aid in Chelsea’s recovery!

Again, I cannot say thank you enough to everyone who donated.  I am truly grateful.  Love to all!
