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 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.
