New Giveaway - Making More Beaded Jewellery

Here is another Rainbow Disk book on disk - Making More Beaded Jewellery. There are 50 projects in this one - enough so everyone will find something they would like to make. You can read all the details on the Rainbow Disks website here. This giveaway is the same as the others - you have to write a review of the disk after you have won it and had a chance to look at it please.
You can have one entry for telling me your favourite type of bead and another for telling me you are a follower. You have until Wednesday, April 11th, to enter this one.
I asked in the last giveaway for people to guess why I was doing all the giveaways. Well, there were some good guesses and they were all right to some degree. I am de-stashing, I had extras of these disks, I passed the 200 followers mark, etc. Mostly though it is because I have been down and out with a rotten virus and broncitus so haven't felt like stitching and had nothing to post about as a result! lol I hate to not be yakking away here so I thought giveaways were a good answer. Stay tuned - there are more coming.

Hi Kerry, sorry you aren't feeling well. My favorite beads are the ones made of semi precious stones. I love that they come from the earth. Hope you get to feeling better.

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 81 - Sequin Flower with Tutorial

This Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge is a little different - not exactly a stitch per se. It is a technique for making sequin flowers which can be a wonderful addition to a seam treatment or motif. You will need cupped sequins for this - flat ones will not work properly - and some seed beads. Mark your fabric with a center dot and five evenly spaced dots around the outside. Bring your needle up through one of the dots on the outside and string on one sequin (cup upwards), a bead, another sequin and two more beads. Take your needle down through the middle dot. Carry on making another leg in the same way on each of the other four outside dots, always going down into the center dot which will be the middle of your flower. This is what you end up with after you have done all five legs - a nice little sequin flower! You can add a bead or two more in the center of the flower if you wish. You can also vary the number of legs depending on the size of t...

Giveaway! (Closed Midnight Monday!)

While packing my stash for the move to the lake I found duplicates of a couple books. What can I say? It must be really appealing to buy it twice! So, I have two books to giveaway. The first one is "45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit". My knitting skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid - I wish they were because it is a gorgeous book! The second book for giveaway is "Tatting Doilies & Edgings", edited by Ruth Weiss. This is a good one because it has lots of edgings that can be tatted and used for crazy quilting. Of course, you could tat the doilies and edgings for anything you like! lol So, to enter the giveaway simply leave a comment with your email address and indicating which book you would like to go in the draw for. I'll draw names sometime on Monday. Thanks!
