Can you believe we’re halfway through the week before the week before Christmas? Where’s my snow? And why isn’t my tree up yet?

With time flying by so very quickly, I think it’s a perfect day to give away a calendar.

Not just any calendar, mind you! This is a calendar you’ll want hanging where you – and the rest of your world – can see it daily! It’s beautiful. It will keep you inspired all year long!

And I’m also going to announce the scissor winners from A Stitcher’s Christmas #4! So read on!

Happy Monday to you!

As we head a little closer to Christmas, A Stitcher’s Christmas – my series of embroidery-related give-aways to add to your holiday celebrations – is heating up!

So let’s start the week with another delectable pre-Christmas give-away! Today, it’s A Stitcher’s Christmas #5 – and it involves free tuition to an online class and the full materials kit.

Read on for the details…!

Since it’s Friday, and since I love you this much, it’s a perfect day to continue with A Stitcher’s Christmas, and to venture into that realm that most stitchers can’t resist: tools…

…and more specifically…

Scissors!

I haven’t met one committed stitcher in my life who doesn’t love a good pair of scissors. Sure, you can get by with anything that’ll cut a piece of thread, but the pleasure that comes from using a Really Good Pair of Embroidery Scissors? It’s hard to beat!

So here it is – A Stitcher’s Christmas #4 involving scissors! We’ll also find out who the five winners are of A Stitcher’s Christmas #3 – embroidery kits and magazines from Inspirations.

Read on…and don’t forget to follow the give-away guidelines if you want a chance to win some fantastic embroidery scissors!

After setting up Modern Crewel, the embroidery project we looked at here last week, it was hard to tear myself away from it!

You know how that is, don’t you? You have every intention of “just doing a little bit right now to get started” … and then, next thing you know, you’re engrossed, and that little bit turns into a lotta bit.

Happy Monday! And welcome back to A Stitcher’s Christmas, a fun series of embroidery-related give-aways here on Needle ‘n Thread, just in time for Christmas!

Today, I’ll tell you the winner of A Stitcher’s Christmas #2 (these three A-Z embroidery books), and then tell you all about today’s give-away, for five winners!

Besides working on this crewel embroidery project I’ve been sharing with you recently, I’ve got a few other hand embroidery projects on the go.

I’ve added something bright into my current project mix, to bring a little sunshine into the chilly gray days of winter. It’s Modern Crewel designed by Susan Porter and detailed in Inspirations Magazine Issue #90. I reviewed the kit for Modern Crewel here, if you’d like to read my review.

We’re back to A Stitcher’s Christmas, and this time, it’s embroidery books!

Remember last week when we chatted about the A-Z series of needlework books published by Search Press? Well, here’s your opportunity to win three beautiful and functional A-Z books for your own needlework library.

I’m also announcing the winners of last week’s Stitcher’s Christmas give-away – so read on to see if it’s you!
