September/October 2014 Giveaway

Giveaway is closed.

Hello,

I was going to wait for a blue clear sky to take photos for my giveaway but looks like the monsoon season is here to stay.

Once again, I am going to pick 2 winners. And what's up for grabs this round?


First, a House brooch and a pack of 4 Frixion pens.
 
I made the House brooch a short while ago. It's made of felt, fabric, some batting and it's a house of love. I added a bit of simple embroidery. The Frixion pens are the exact same ones I use when I sew or do embroidery. These are very fine - 05 to be exact. When I use these pens to mark on my fabric, I'm very careful and I don't scribble all over the right side of the fabric. The fact is, it is possible to get ghost lines after you iron on the markings. When I use these pens to draw for embroidery, I make sure I sew over the markings. And because these pens make very fine lines, I have no problem doing that.

Next, an elephant brooch and one yard of FABRIC!
I gave up trying to take a decent photo of the fabric. It's a very pretty fabric.

I made the elephant brooch last month(?) and it is back stitch embroidery on linen.

Both winners will also get a PDF of my latest bag pattern.

    I love the fabric and elephant pin. I really enjoy your blog and especially your bag patterns. I must confess I haven't made the cute little boxy bag yet but it's on my 'to do' list. Soon, I hope.

    Hi Jane!
    I've been reading your blog for years and I actually bought one of your patterns. But, being me, I haven't made any bags yet.
    I like the fabric on your giveaway today but I like the house pin more.
    I hope you get at least a bit of sunshine soon!

    Sweet giveaway - thank you for the chanceS :)

    Frixion pens are THE BOMB - I love them! I think I would go for the fabric since I already have half a dozen pens in varying colours - I wish they'd make a silver one that would show up on dark/printed fabrics :D

    How fun, Jane! I would love the elephant brooch and fabric. Of course, the house is adorable, so if I turned out to be a winner and the elephant was gone, I would still be thrilled.

    I love both of your prizes, but my first choice would be the brooch and fabric. I have plans to make an "I Spy" quilt and I could fussy-cut those adorable scenes. Thanks!

    What fun brooches! My favorite would be the frixion pens.

    Choosing is always so hard... ;-) I love elephants though, so I guess my first choice would be the pretty fabric and elephant button! And in honor of elephants, here's a joke: Why don't elephants like playing cards in the jungle? Because of all the cheetahs! ;-) Hope you have a great day, and thanks so much for the giveaway!
