A Robin Pinkeep

This is a freebie by Elizabeth's Designs. The link to the it seems to be unavailable.

I have a piece of cloth with the state birds and flowers, and so that is what I used for the backing.

Peacock Pinkeep Finished

I couldn't find trim to exactly match the floss. This is my own design stitched on white Monaco fabric.

It's Monday

I finished this dish towel today. It is an Aunt Martha transfer pattern.

The Winner Is. . .

Edgar!

I wrote the six eligible names on identical pieces of paper, folded them, and placed them in a bowl. I had my daughter close her eyes and draw one.
Edgar, I have your contact info from exchanges.

I am mailing your towels today.

Thank you to everyone who entered and is reading this blog. I will be doing some program downloads and hopefully get some new free designs up soon.

Trillium's Earth Day Giveaway

*For U.S. residents ONLY, due to postage costs*

To celebrate Earth Day, I'm holding a giveaway today. The prize is a set of two matching white cotton dish towels that I hand-embroidered with a windmill. The design is from Aunt Martha's Windmill Transfers. The fabric is an inexpensive flour-sack type cotton and it will shrink a little. The floss color is DMC 820 blue.

U.S. readers have until midnight tonight, EDT(Eastern Daylight Time), to leave a comment on this post. Please put a link on your blog as well.

I know I haven't blogged much lately and this is to get me reconnected. Please let me know if you have an email address on your blog if you don't want to post it here due to spam seekers. I need to be able to contact the winner.

I will choose a winner early tomorrow morning and post it.

My Winter House for Melissa

This is the pinkeep that I stitched for Melissa for the HOE 2010 Winter House Exchange. It is part of LHN's "Snowflakes" and it is a combination of DMC and Carrie's Creation floss on 32ct. Smokey Pearl Belfast linen.

The fence looks redder than it actually is.I filled in the letters of "winter" because it did not show up well enough unfilled (as charted).
