Be My Valentine Giveaway...

Brynwood Needleworks - "Be My Valentine" Giveaway Gifts

 
It's Giveaway Time Again!
 

 I was thinking that I hadn't done a giveaway in a while, so what better time than around Valentine's Day?

THREE lucky readers will be able to choose one of the above gifts!

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' "Candy Hearts" Pillow Kit

Giveaway Gift #1 is a complete kit to create your own Candy Hearts pillow. All the fabric you'll need to create your own pillow is included in the kit. You'll need to add your own threads and a pillow form. Retail value is approximately $35.

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Giveaway Gift #2 - Sweethearts Pattern

 

You may remember I made a set of these last year in Lisa's Farmhouse Gatherings grey fabric assortment. This pattern came in the January Wool Box, so now I have two. This will be offered as a giveaway gift to some lucky winner. Retail value is $9.00.

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Giveaway Gift #3 - A Quilter's Journal

 

The Quilter's Journal came in a previous Wool Box and I already have a copy, so this is Gift #3. It's a great way to write down your quilting notes, be inspired by the lovely photos, and tour Lisa's lovely lake house, too. There's plenty of room for recording your quilt projecs - or whatever you want. Retail Value $15.

Flowers and Fawn...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' "Seaside Garden" Mat

This is one of the pieces I worked on yesterday. I received the kit in one of the Wool Boxes last spring. I'll be stitching this so I have it ready for this spring.

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' "New Beginning" Pincushion

I also did the preparation for this little fawn pincushion. Of course, I changed the color of the deer to a more reddish color, reminiscent of the color of our spring fawns in Wisconsin. I'll get this one finished soon, too.

 

I'm visiting and stitching with my girlfriend, Kathy D. today, so these are the two projects I'll be working on. (The pincushion won't take that long for me to flesh out.) 

 

My leg is doing really well. I changed my bandages today so I could clean the wound and make sure I didn't have any infection started. Gratefully, there wasn't so much as a bruise or discoloration. whew! If you're really curious about what happened, you can go to the comment section from yesterday's post, where I give the details to my friend, MA. As I said to her, "I'm such a klutz!". Going forward, I'm definitely going to be more careful with all the sharp objects in my studio.

"Everlasting" - Part Two...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' - "Everlasting" Blocks 11-12

 

I managed to finish setting up the rest of my "Everlasting" quilt blocks yesterday. I'm actually lucky to have finished all the blocks, considering that I had a bit of an accident in the process. I'll spare you the gory details (photos are on my personal FB page if you're interested), but long story short, I punctured myself in the thigh with my very, very sharp Karen Kay Buckley scissors, and bled a lot!

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' - "Everlasting" Blocks 9-10

 

Once I got that all under control, I forged ahead on this project, and can now crow that they'll all be ready to sit down and stitch when the spirit moves me.

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' - "Everlasting" Blocks 7-8

 

By the time Handsome called from Macon, GA last night, I could tell him all the blocks were done, and I avoided a trip to the emergency room.

 

Back to the quilt blocks...You can see by comparing the pattern image with my actual blocks how I adjusted them to make them personal. I'm really going to have fun doing the embroideries!

 

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' - "Everlasting" Quilt Layout

I also have the finishing kit when I get to that stage. This is how the quilt looks from Lisa Bongean's pattern. Isn't it lovely? I'm motivated to work on this one first!
