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.

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

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
