Friday Giveaway - a Day Late!

Sorry I am a day late - my internet is playing up. I hope no one thought I forgot it was time to draw a name for the postcard. And the winner is..... Ruby! Congratulations Ruby - as soon as you email me your address I will get this off to you!

This week I am celebrating having over 100 followers on my blog! I never would have thought that would happen! So, to celebrate this event I am giving away a copy of the Summer 2010 issue of Spin-off magazine. Great magazine for spinners, weavers, felters or anyone who loves fiber. This was the top thing on the pile of stash and since I have company this week in the trailer I didn't have time to dig further. I hope someone will enjoy it!

So, here is how it works:

1. For one entry leave a comment telling me what kind of craft or stitching item you think would be good for next Friday's giveaway.

2. For a second entry, become a follower or let me know you already are.

3. For a third entry, blog about this giveaway and leave me a comment with a link to the post.

Congratulations on 100 followers. I'm not a follower but I have your site bookmarked in my cq bookmarks and check it every morning. For the next giveaway, how about some specialty thread.

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 comment telling me which item you like best. Feel fr

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 share with you as well as a package fo
