Extremely very early spring giveaway



The area of the planet where I live is currently in the dead of winter, with no signs of spring as far as I can see...but we have hope! Anyhow, here are the prizes I'm offering:

One winner will receive two skeins of my size 20 hand dyed 6 cord cotton thread in "Summer Trail" colorway;

Another winner will receive one of my original "Wondrous Window" tatted pendants;

Third winner will receive a "big and little" set of two skeins "Tigereye" hand dyed - a size 3 pearl cotton and a size 100 cordonnet.

Just leave a comment on this post to have a chance to win.
NOTE: If you have your own blog, your comment will automatically link back to you. If you don't have a blog, please leave your email address so that I'll have a way to contact you if you win.

I'll choose 3 winners on Monday, February 22, using a random number generator.

  2. I love the bright colors that you use. Needle Necessities used to make one called Voodoo Flame. I used it to do hardanger. It looked great on black. I gave all of my pieces away so I can't even send you a sample. But it was bright flame colors. Also they had like a carnival glass looking thread. Do you have differing sizes of threads? Do you do special requests? would try it myself, but you would never believe what a mess I can make out of anything!!!(I have a friend who laughs at me because I make a bigger mess while cleaning, I don't know how I do that)

  10. Wow, what a beautiful things you make. And what a nice colors you use. I'm a beginner in tatting. I've tried to make the carnival earrings I find on your site. I used embroidery thread (DMC), because I didn't find a nice thread in my hometown.

    Take care and keep up the good works. Robert in northern Iowa.
