I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Who Won the Embroidery Kit, Scissors, and Evertites?

 

Amazon Books

Well, here it is – the winner of the Happy My Birthday to You Give-Away!

Berlin Embroidery Kit

It was a banner give-away and a banner birthday altogether, let me tell you! Over 750 folks participated in the give-away (thank you! and thanks for the birthday wishes!).

So who is going to enjoy the new DOVO embroidery scissors, the wild rose embroidery kit, and the Evertite frames? Well…. (drumroll)….

The Winner is:

Irene M in Portland Oregon!

Congratulations, Irene! Please drop me a line with a mailing address, and I’ll get that off to you as soon as possible! (Actually, the frames will come directly from a shop, but I’ll mail the scissors and kit.)

Thanks to all for participating! I’d dearly love to send you each your birthday wish, but then what would you have to dream about? It was fun to read your replies to the question. It’s fun to dream, isn’t it?

Later on, I’ll be reviewing a gorgeous new collection of silk and metal threads, and I’ll follow up on that discussion by giving a set of them away. So keep an eye out for that!

  2. Mary,
    Thank you for doing such a great job with this website. It opens up possibilities for me in untold ways. I so enjoy going back in your archives and looking at some of the things you posted years ago. I am especially taken with the set of pillowcases you did as a Christmas giveaway. The black one and the white one with everyone asleep and awake. Just charming and I go back to it time and again. Pillowcases are something that I so enjoy doing and giving away. So keep up the great work and keep those giveaways coming–hope to get lucky one day.

  4. I was actually on FaceBook and saw the announcement. I flew out of my chair and went bouncing into the kitchen to tell my husband. I think he has bruises from all my excitement. LOL

    I’ve used stretcher bars before but have never seen the type that tighten. This will be a new treat for me. Everything is wonderful and I think you are amazing for sharing such wonderful treats on your birthday. Thank you so very much. I did send a note to you. Excuse the hysteria. LOL I’m just a bit happy. 🙂
