Well, first let me show you another snow picture or two. We had rain, and lots of it yesterday. Which turned to ice. Last night it began to snow. Again. 
And then the sun tried to peek out ----
(It finally succeeded). From this point, the day just got better and better.
I went out to the mailbox and what did I find? A ZSQ!!! What IS a ZSQ, you may ask? Why, it is a Zippy Strippy Quilt. Made by none other than JENNY MATLOCK. It is truly adorable, made in a camping theme, with fleecy warm fabric. Keep in mind that Jenny Matlock lives in a perpetual state of sunshine and warmth. It was pure fate that I won this giveaway, given the perpetual frozen tundra state we seem to be in these days. The giveaway was in memory of her sweet friend Mike. Please read more here, but be warned, there is a famous Jenny PKW (possible kleenex warning) on this post. So sad, but so sweet, and I am completely honored to be the recipient of this darling quilt.
I couldn’t get a picture that captured just how big the ZSQ is. It’s BIG!! And oh so cozy.
Close-up of one of the fabrics. So cute!
Needless to say, it will be loved. Jenny also enclosed the sweetest little card (I think she made that too).
Thank you so very much, Jenny! Bless you. Every time I see or use this quilt, I will think of your friend Mike and the wonderful memories you must have.

I am so glad you won! You deserve it. We missed the snow, but got lots and lots of rain and now we have mud, again! I know God made all the seasons and wants us to enjoy them, but I am ready for a little more sunshine :0!
I am soooo glad you like it! That flannel just wears so well...just wash it in cold water and dry in the dryer. I realized after I sent it I had forgotten to sew the instruction tag in! The gift of your post was my true blessing in this giveaway. Thank you for gracious words.
Wow..this was a touching story..expressed beautifully. I'm so glad it ended up in your hands!! I'm sure it will come in handy with the cold too- what a keep sake!
Your snowy photos are lovely and the quilt so detailed! Thanks for your visit (figured you'd enjoy the foolishness too, ha)- hope you have a terrific week Tammy!
My best, Regina-
lucky you! stay warm and cozy in that darling quilt.
Thank you for stopping by my blob! I am lovin' it how all of these Missouri bloggers seem to be coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. And I'm seeing such a theme of down home goodness. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories and hope you will definitely keep checking back in with me.

Oh Tammy what a beautiful quilt, and congrats on your win. Just the perfect gift for this time of year. I did go on over to Jen's blog and read about Mike... it always makes me so sad to hear of someone young losing their life. It makes me appreciate all the years I have been graciously given thus far on our beautiful planet.
