It's time to have a Giveaway to celebrate the publishing of my 100th design.
(More about this occasion here.)
I have a little parcel of goodies as a prize:
There's this pretty satchel which I showed you a few weeks ago:
a little embroidered felt pincushion and matching scissor-keep:
and some fabric from the Rue St Germaine range - approx 60 x 2½ inch squares and 20 x 5 inch charm squares:
Entry is simple. This is a giveaway for anyone who is a follower of my blog. Just leave a comment at the end of this post to go into the draw. Entries will close at midnight Saturday 2nd March (Australian time).
Edit: A reminder: I use Comment Moderation (so you don't have to guess Blogger identity numbers and letters) so your comment will not appear until after I have verified it.
Also, my apologies if your comment can't be seen! I accidentally pressed the wrong button and more than 40 comments have not been published! However, be assured I have them all still and you have been entered in the giveaway, even though you can't see them below!.

I didn't ever get round to showing you another of my projects - a 4 inch fabric box called "For a Rainy Day". It features two of my favourite design elements - applique and roses:
It's in Embroidery and Cross Stitch Magazine, Vol 20 No 7. That's it in the centre of the bottom row:
I have always loved umbrellas:
especially when they are filled with silk ribbon and grub roses:
I think this is my favourite side:
Last week didn't turn out as planned so there wasn't much stitching done. However, I did get my skates on and prepared the patterns for two of my designs that I have shown you before. They are both now available for purchase on the website.
Buckets of Love:
This is my Country:
They can both be found on the wall-hanging page.
I had to see a Specialist on Friday for my annual check-up. Thankfully, everything was fine. In our conversation he wanted to know what I do to keep busy in my retirement. The outcome is that I now have official medical sanction for my craft addiction! He told me to keep doing it as it is good for my health! LOVE IT!
I had better finish before I am tempted to put any more photos in this post!
Happy stitching!
