September's Winner

Just popping in to let you know, ...

the child did the draw last night

and

the winner is...

Leanne Erbs :)

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments

you left -

it's easy to see that Brenda's patterns,

and

Cottage Garden threads

are very very popular:)

Probably because they are

absolutely

gorgeous.

So,

I'm off to wrap up a lovely wee parcel,

and take a trip up the road to the Post Office,

to send it on it's way.

Then,

I get to play today...

 with Jane's quilt.

Have a lovely day:)

September Giveaway

I'm trying to remember when,

a long long time ago,

that I first saw Brenda Ryan's

beautiful creations.

I do remember that it was not that long after

I opened my shop in Geraldine,

and that it was in a magazine,

and I'm pretty sure

it was a picture of

Fair Rosamund:)

Since then I have stitched many many

of Brenda's designs...

quilts,

stitcheries,

decorations,

needlecases and

cushions.

 



This is Daisy :)

 

 

One of my most favourite cushions :)

 

 

The centre panel from

"A Measured Stitch".

 

 

Gorgeous little decoration,

using Cottage Garden Threads :)

 



From Jane Austen's quilt.

 

Another from ''Jane's'' quilt :)
 

 

...and one cute little cottage

(just a little bit unfinished yet:)

 

These are just a few,

there are a gazillion more pics on my 'puter,

but you can see what I mean,

her work is beautiful:)

And what prompted all this is a promise to myself,

that I must finish a couple of unfinished projects.

I have all the stitcheries for

Jane Austen's quilt

sitting neatly in a box

and I have decided  that I must finish the quilt

as it is far too exquisite to be tucked away

in lots of little pieces

inside a box!!

And I've also got to finish the little cottage series.

Made me think,

yeah -

here it comes:)

I have a spare pattern (or two :)

and I thought

time for a pattern and thread giveaway.

I haven't stitched this pattern myself, yet,

but don't worry,

I do have my own copy tucked away:)

 

 

So here's the deal

for my September giveaway -

one divine Brenda Ryan pattern,

five fabulous Cottage Garden Threads,

some gorgeous yummy pure French Linen,

and a bit of lace,

of course:)

Just leave a wee comment

here,

or over on my facebook page,

whatever is easiest for you,

or you can even do both,

and then you will have a double chance to win:)

And yes,

all my giveaways are open to overseas friends as well:)

 

I'm off to sort out the fabrics for

''Jane's'' quilt.

See you later,

Jenny:)

 

 

''Springie Blue"

Just to let you know,

the winner of the "Springie Blue"

bundle of goodies is...

Lyn S

(who left a facebook comment:)

Yay - Lyn:)

Thanks to all who left a comment,

it was fun:)

Now

I reckon you should

take the day off from chores today,

it's Friday,

and you shouldn't have to do chores on a Friday.

Find a lovely sunny little nook

to sit and stitch a little,

with maybe a cuppa,

and just a smidgen of chocolate.

And...

no,

it's not too early for chocolate,

it's never too early for chocolate:)

 

See you later,

Jenny

 

 

 

Divinely Vintage

There are no other words

to perfectly describe

this beautiful length of

fabric.

Divinely vintage...

 

 

... totally delicious....

 

 

...irresistably...

 

 

...beautiful:)

 

And...

this really really pretty,

french country inspired

blue floral...

 

 

These blues are so fresh,

and I know exactly what I will be doing

with some of this fabric:)

Big squishy cushions for the chairs

on the front verandah,

I think,

maybe a couple,

maybe three.

Plenty left though,

if you'd like some -

I've put them both on my website this morning:)

See you later,

Jenny.
