When I was in junior high (many, many, many moons ago) my grandmother embroidered me this Holly Hobbie on the back of a blouse. I still have the blouse, although I no longer wear it. Didn't grandma do great work? This Holly Hobbie is the inspiration for me to play with floss.
This is the first embroidered block I made in 2007. Does it surprise you that I stitched a coffee cup and then made it the centerpiece of a coffee-themed tote bag? Probably not.
I recently blogged about my Tower of Floss. I have so many wonderful threads and I suppose you may be wondering what I will make with them. Here is one inspiration project I have:
A friend of ours stitched this for herself a long time ago. She was so happy when I told her I loved it. No one had ever told her that before (and it's been hanging in her bathroom for almost 30 years).
This brings me to Giveaway #2 - Fabulous Floss
The winner of this giveaway will receive this Cinderberry Stitches kit. The kit is complete with fabric, floss and directions to make a thread and needle wallet. Of course, the prize will include another goodie or two.
To enter leave a comment on this post. Tell me who you would make this wallet for - yourself or a special friend. If, by chance, you have this pattern, I will substitute another kit. Also, if you haven't told me in a previous post, tell me how you follow me - with Bloglines, Google Reader, on your side bar, etc.
The drawing is open until March 31, 2010. I will draw the winner on April 1, 2010. You may enter each drawing, but I will only accept one entry per person per drawing.
For information on Giveaway #1 go here.
Happy Stitching!

great prize again Paula. Thank you for the chance. I follow you on goggle and my blog. Maybe you should announce your giveaway on our swap groups.
I would love to win this giveaway. I love to stitch.
This is a great giveaway. I have been teaching my self needlework and have cross stiched for years. I would make this kit for my secret sister in my Mothers of Preschoolers group. I make all of her gifts so that they are unique and from the heart. You are the best.

Love this kit and pattern! Think it would just have to be for me....usually it's for someone else, so I can have a turn occassionally! Thanks for the opportunity!
Great giveaway! Please count me in! I follow you on Google.
Oh my - I would love to win that prize and I would probably make one for myself and use the pattern to make one for a friend.
I love stitched projects and you have shown some very nice ones.
This collection of items would be very nice to have. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh my, I almost missed this one! I love Natalie over at Cinderberry Stitches. Her patterns are so darn cute! I'd probably make this for a gift since I already have a needle wallet I use for myself. The fabrics and floss colors are just lovely!
I follow you on my Blogger Dashboard...so convenient!

Love this kit. I would make it for a friend. And I know which one too!!
I follow on google-reader...
This is so cute! I haven't tried a Cinderberry pattern yet. I would likely make this for a draw for the guild library fundraiser, although if I love it, I would definately keep it:)
I'm just starting to learn to embroider (but I already quilt); so I would make this to keep my quilting sharps off the floor as well as to organize my floss. I follow you with GFC.
I would make this for my oldest daughter. She just loves to carry purses and pouches everwhere. I'm following via Google Connect!

I would love to win this give away. i have been looking for a pattern to make a wallet or stitch book to hold my threads and needles. It would be perfect for taking along on car rides.
