Winner of 1st Giveway & A New Giveaway!

The winner of my first giveaway is Linda M (Quayceetatter)!  Congratulations Linda!  I have sent you an email and as soon as I get your mailing information from you I will have this off in the mail.  Thank you to everyone for entering!

Just a reminder that you still have until Wednesday to enter this giveaway for Creative Fabric Techniques!  Scroll down and you will find the post where you can enter for that giveaway.

And now for the new Giveaway!  This one is for a lace package and there are three bits and pieces up for grabs, all for a single winner.


First off there is a vintage embroidered doilie, some venise lace motifs, a battenburg lace doilie and a large crochet doilie.  All of these will be great for use in crazy quilting or maybe making that boho bag you have been thinking of constructing!

The second item is a lace panel with hanger.  This is a new item which would make a lovely gift for someone.  All you have to do is remove the demo photos and use the sticky bits that are included to add three photos of your choice instead.  How is this for an easy gift to stash away for next Christmas?!  The writing on it says "FAMILY is a gift from God".

The last part of this package is three pattern booklets from 1961, 1972 and 1974 respectively.  Don't you wish prices for patterns was the same now?!  lol  These cover crochet, tatting, hairpin lace and knitting patterns for doilies and edgings.  If you don't do any of these techniques, you can always use the covers and pages in some type of mixed media project!

This one is simple to enter - one comment gets you the first entry - tell me if you can guess why I am doing all the giveaways - and one comment telling me you are a follower gets you the second entry. I will draw a name for this one next Sunday - April 8th.

The reason for your giveaways...Well you told us destashing....I thought maybe celebrating you 1st blog post. That was back in Nov. 2007, so that is not it. Then I thought about your Build A Seam, but that started in September. You do have over 200 followers, so that could be it. If none of those are the reason, at least I have given you some food for thought about some future giveaways!

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...
