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.

 



"Springie" Blue Giveaway

Been playing with a few bits and pieces,

waiting for the sun to come out again,

so I can go back to my spring gardening.

I found these,

and wondered if you would like it?

Fresh "springie"

colours.

 

 

A little packet of fabric,

ribbons and lace,

a hank of Cottage Garden Thread -

shade - tulip

(of course:)

 some little gift tags,

buttons,

and even a wee packet of seed

from my poppies last year.

 

The alternative to pottering around,

putting this bundle of bits and bobs together,

was

vacumning!

No contest really:)

So...

if you think you would like this little parcel

of goodies,

leave a comment here,

or over on my facebook page,

and tell me...

what's the chore that gives you the blues :)

See you in a week

or maybe just a little longer:)

Jenny

 



Pink Winner

Ooops,

I forgot.

Sorry :(

To be honest,

I'm not really sure where last week went,

but it did ''went''

and went much too fast,

and I forgot about the pink winner.

So,

before I forget again,

the winner is....

Jo H,

who left a comment here.

Just so I know,

I have the right Jo,

can you email me your address :)

Ta:)

And a parcel of pink

is on it's way

to you:)

And "ta" to all who entered as well.

I'll be back soon with another one,

and I promise

not to foget this time!!

See you

Jenny



Buttons?

Anyone for buttons?

Got some yummy new supplies of buttons

last week -

lots of new colours and sizes,

and I'm going to mix 'em all up

and sell 'em

by

the pound!!

1 lb, 4 oz's

to be exact,

and nope,

haven't got a clue

what that is in metric.

I have a gorgeous old fashioned

set of scales

in pounds and ounces,

and that's how I measure my

flour and sugar,

and other stuff

for baking,

so that's how I've measured the buttons:)

All I can say,

for those that don't know

pounds and ounces,

is that it's

a lot

 of buttons:)

I'll pop these on the website really soon

- tonight -

 they will be on the

''garage sale''

page

along with lots of other

bits and pieces

that I've added yesterday,

and I'll be adding more

today

and

  tomorrow :)



See you at the garage sale:)

Jenny

In the Pink:)

So,

I thought that it was time,

for another little giveaway.

The studio room is now closed,

 but don't forget

I'm still trading online here

and

through my Etsy shop

which you can find over on the sidebar.

This week's giveaway is brought to you

by the colour ...

"pink"

Pink is for -

 flowers...

... and buttons...

...cushions...

... and pretty teacups ...



...bunnies :)...



...gingham...



... and more flowers :)...

So,

would you like some pink bits and pieces?

If you would,

then all you gotta do is

leave a comment and tell me -

''Pink is for ......"

and I'll be back next week,

sometime,

maybe Wednesday,

or possibly Friday,

I might even wait until Saturday

or

Sunday :)

See you then,

Jenny:)
