Giveaway Days!

I have been thinking about having some giveaways - I feel like I have so much to celebrate lately.  My son is getting married Saturday and that is a good reason!  I have decided that I will have a giveaway every Friday for the foreseeable future - like til I run out of stash which will be no time soon.  Since I love most crafts there is no telling what each Friday will bring.  I will post about a giveaway each week,  together with my reason to celebrate, and the following Friday I will announce the winner and what the giveaway for the following week will be. 


So, this first week you can enter to win this postcard.  If you have been following, you might recognize this as my entry into the Embroiders' Association of Canada's Design a Notecard contest.  I didn't win but you can! 
I will stitch this backing onto it and it will become a postcard. I'll either send it in an envelope so that you can use it as a postcard to send to someone special or, if you prefer, I'll put a stamp on it, get it postmarked and then send it off in the mail to you enclosed in a plastic envelope. I think it needs to go protected like that because of the beads - no telling what havoc they would wreck on the postal machines. So, either way, you get a fabric postcard made by me with love.
Here is how it works: 
For one entry leave a comment on this post and make sure you leave me some way to contact you.
For a second entry, follow my blog and let me know in a separate comment. 
For three extra entries, blog about my giveaway and comment again to let me know!  Leave me a link to your blog so I can check it out - thanks!
On Friday, July 2nd, I will draw a name and let you know who wins the postcard.

Congrats on your son's marriage. It's always nice to add a member to the family. Hope all goes well for the wedding and the couple has a memorable day.

I do recognize your EAC entry and it looks like a winner to me.

Take care,

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

BAS - Week 79 - Feather Stitch Variations

I have about the next twenty BAS stitches scheduled and by happy coincidence this week's BAS is a series of Feather Stitch variations which coincide with this week's TAST stitch if you are following.  So, we can hit two birds with one stone!  These hardly look like feather stitch but they are.  They are created by making the "v"'s of the feather stitch vertical on the inside.  Very simple to do but a different look to an old stitch.  The second variation is created by doing two feather stitches at a time on each side, again making sure the inside of your "v"s are vertical and line up as much as possible. Same thing again in this one except they are in series of three.  To me these have the look of stitching on old crazy quilts so they are nice to add to your stable of stitch variations.  Hope you  enjoy them and have fun!

Friday Giveaway - Last Week's Winner & a New Giveaway!

The winner of last week's Friday Giveaway of the current issue of Spin Off magazine is Marilyn!  lol - an easy win for Marilyn since she was the only one who left a comment.  Marilyn didn't leave an email so I would ask her please to contact me - just leave a comment with your email and I will email you right back to get your mailing information. (I will not publish the comment with your email)  If I don't hear back from you by next Friday I will include the magazine in with the prize for next week.  Last week I asked for comments suggesting what would make a good giveaway item in the future.  Since Marilyn's suggestion was the only one, I will take it!  So, this week I will be giving away some specialty threads as Marilyn suggested, along with a package of these great clock charms I just received in the mail. Aren't these great charms?  When I found them I bought all that there were in stock, five packages, so I have enough to shar...
