Handcrafted Holiday Sew & Stitch Along Begins Today!!!!


Are you ready?????
I'm so excited about all the generous people who are
supplying us with discount codes and fabulous prizes
to make this a really fun month of sewing and stitching!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

The Details:
 Sew anything you like.
Cross Stitch or embroider anything you like.
Crochet anything you like.
It's totally up to you.

( Please only post projects that you are currently working on
and not previously completed projects.)
You can post pics of work in progress
as well as completed items.


Each week there will be 3 winners!
Yep 3 winners!!!
One sewing winner,
One cross stitch winner,
One crochet winner.
How fun is that?


Every Monday morning for the next 4 weeks,
begining Oct 1st,
I will post a link to a flicker group
for you to share photos of your creations.
Each Monday there will be a completely new
flicker group for that week only.
Winners will be chosen at random from the flicker group
every Friday evening
and I will post the winners on
this blog on Saturday.

You can join in at any time!
This is not a talent competition.
It's a time to be creative and encourage one another.
I don't know about you but when I know
that others are playing along
I tend to get more done.

You can post as many pics as you like of your projects,
but even if you post 5 pics of your project,
it will only count as 1 entry for the giveaways that week.
