Sometimes we have that dark cloud that follows us around, which is usually the case for me and sometimes you just have one of those weeks where you are surprised by good fortune.
I guess in my case, it is the adage, is the glass half full or half empty?
I have been sick with a flu for over a week, so stuck at home and I am getting cabin fever. On the other side, I have won three contests which have given me a pick me up, which is much needed.
So, I think it is time I have a contest and offer my fellow bloggers, readers and have no idea who you are visitors;) I do enjoy new visitors though and I do check out your blogs. I also enjoy comments, good or bad and love feedback. So, without further rambling, here is what I am giving away this week.
A copy of Lynette Anderson's newest book, "A Gathering of Crows". This is a signed copy that features quilting designs by Lynette; a quilt, a tote, as well as other quilted goodies. And.... there are two designs that I worked up in punch for her, using her designs. So, if you love to quilt, sew and punch, this would be a great prize for you.
Now here is the catch, lol. You have to go to Lynette's site and look for the new punch patterns that she has published now. You can find them now, on the first pages of her blog, but you may have to hit more blogs to find them, later in the week. Then tell me in this comment section what one you like the best and why. I really do love feedback and it will help lynette and I, in future designs.
The contest will end on Sunday, October 25. Leave your comments here and I will draw a name and announce the winner Sunday night. Hopefully I can brighten someone else's day:) I am sorry to say, I can only open this contest to those in the USA, but if you are not in the states, you can still leave a comment and there may be a surprise for everyone else at the end of the contest;)
Here is a preview of the book. The tote design and the quilt in the background.
And here is one of the punched pieces I did for the book. I have also done a few punched pieces that Lynette is now selling and new ones will be coming in the future, so be sure to check out her site while you are there.

I am a quilter and fabriholic... and I am not afraid to admit it. I love Lynette's designs and work. Her ability to put colors together is awesome. As for punch designs - Christmas is on my mind - bring on snowmen and santa.

The new book is only out in some Australian stores, right now. Lynette just finished with the Houston Quilt market and the book should be available in the US stores soon. This is one of the copies she sent me.
ReplyDeleteWhat you are looking for is the punch needle patterns, not the book. Those are sold as individual patterns.

Debbie, sorry to hear you are not feeling well, get better soon!! I have to pick one pattern??? I love the little chicken, the snowmen, ohh I LOVE em all!! The book sounds as if it's to die for, I'm a quilter, puncher, hooker(rug that is), lol, and I think I need it!! The tote is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteWell, enter me, I never win but I can hope.
Feel better soon.
Hugs, Bren
I like the snowman one. I'm not much of a dog or cat lover, so I tend to stick to other themes. I use snowmen all winter, so it's just not for Christmas. My second favorite is the house with pumpkins.

i guess that dark cloud gets around.
ReplyDeleteok I finally found someone who had pictures. and i have to say I like them all but if i was going to buy one it would have to be the Snowman one.
ReplyDeletethanks
I really like the snowfriends pattern, my sister loves snowmen and I think it would be perfect for her. Of course I love the tote bag and could fine lots of uses for that;) Thanks for the giveaway!!
