Well, since it’s Monday, and since it’s Autumn – which makes me Very Happy! – I think it’s a good day for a give-away!
Besides, we haven’t had one of these in a long, long while, have we?
On Friday, we looked up close at this new Blue Peacock embroidery kit from Canevas Folies. Today, thanks to Laurence at Canevas Folies (for the design kit) and Lisa at the French Needle (for the thread), I’m giving away the design kit with the specialty threads to one of you peacock fans out there!
The Blue Peacock embroidery kit is suitable for Very Determined Almost-Beginners and beyond. If you’ve never picked up a needle and thread and never worked a stitch, this might not be the kit to start with!
But, if you’ve embroidered even just a little bit and you are confident in your ability to look up and figure out stitches, then you can work this kit.
The kit comes with the stitch layout guide, the pre-printed fabric, some text instructions but not very complex stitch instructions, and the specialty threads (by House of Embroidery) needed to complete the design (but not the DMC threads, which you can supply from your local shop).
Give-Away Guidelines
If you’d like an opportunity to win this gorgeous kit, please follow these guidelines:
1. Leave a comment below, at the end of this article, answering the question in #3. Comments sent in via email or left on other articles are not eligible. To leave a comment, just follow this link. It will take you straight to the comment form.
2. In your comment – either on the “name” line of the comment form or in the comment box – please make sure you leave a recognizable name. If you’re name is Sue, for example, you’ll need to qualify it somehow, with a last initial or a nickname or something like that. This prevents confusion when the winner is announced. For example: Sue in Seattle, Sue Parks, Sweet Sue.
3. In your comment, please answer the following:
What’s your all-time favorite embroidery stitch, and why?
4. Leave your comment by Saturday, October 10, 5:00 am Central Time (that’s Kansas time), and I’ll announce the winner that day. The winner will need to contact me with mailing information.
And that’s it! Super easy – so leave your comment now, and before you know it, you could be stitching up this glorious peacock!
Enjoy your Monday!
