If you are new to my little corner of Blogland welcome I hope to see you again when the flurry of blog-reading that is giveaway day has passed :)
I am always on the look out for new things to try so on the 25th of every month I host a Link party to celebrate the trying with my fellow bloggers. If you like to turn your hand to new things, whether they turn out successfully or not come join us and share your experiences so that we can all learn together.
I have a very festive giveaway for you today. Before we moved back to the UK from Latvia last year, I took the opportunity to stock up on lots of lovely linens and linen/cotton blends as I knew I might never get the chance again. One of my favourite linen shops in Tallinn, Estonia stocked a great range of Christmas fabrics and I have 2/3 of a metre of one of them for one lucky winner.
The Giveaway is for 0.75m of the Christmas fabric which is a linen/cotton blend with stamped reindeer and Santa images. The fabric is 150cm wide. In addition I have 0.5m of Adoring by Sandy Gervais quilting cotton and 3 die-cut felt Reindeer.
Giveaway now closed. A huge thank you to everyone who entered, it was fun reading about the handmade presents that you would like to find under the tree. Details of the lucky winner as below.
Congratulations Jo!
I have used similar fabrics to make these Christmas Stockings, and if you wish to do the same you will have enough of the linen/cotton blend to make 2 Stockings.
To enter the Giveaway all you have to do is tell me which handmade present you would love to see under your tree this year. If you are a follower leave a comment telling me how you follow for an extra chance to win. International entries are of course welcome.
The Giveaway will close and a winner drawn at random on December 14th 09.00 GMT .
Good luck!
Good morning....thank you for this chance. I would love to see someone make me a quilt for Christmas. Now it's not going to happen because I am the quilter in the family...lol. But it would be nice........have to teach them!!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower....thank you
ReplyDeleteHi, love your stockings!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is adorable, I plan to make a Christmas zippy pouch for my sister who loves reindeers so I might just wait until after the draw.......just in case.
A new quilt ladder from my hubby would be nice
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get a homemade quilt too. If I get to be picky, I want it to be something that is appliqued or English paper pieced since I don't do either of those.
ReplyDeleteId love a pincushion. Really! But no one sews around here, so its me and my old pincushion!

ReplyDeleteWow, that fabric is fantastic! As to hand made gifts under the tree....it doesn't usually happen that way. I am the one making. I could make myself a gift.....hmmm. However, one of my brothers is a commercial photographer. I would love to receive one of his pictures as a gift.
ReplyDeleteI would love a chunky scarf!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter your giveaway, The fabrics are very pretty. I never get handmade gifts under my tree. I would probably go into shock if that happened. I am the one to usually give them not receive them. But I would love to get some of those fabrics baskets and one of those pincushions with tread scrap holders attached to it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christmas time giveaway :) Hand made gifts I would love would include jewellery, food-stuff, knitted socks, slippers or wash clothes, a jumper (my grandmother used to knit us jumpers and cardigans when we were young. I never appreciated that enough), a quilt, clothes, bags, maybe tabletop goodies (table cloth, table runner, placemats, coasters, serviettes, etc), and lots of other things I can't think of right now. There are too many good handmade gifts to choose just one :)
ReplyDeleteAnother table runner would be great
