200th post giveaway

Finally! Issues and more issues....now I finally get the computer to work!  Lets get on with the giveaway......
                                                                                 

Remember the circles I made with the Accuquilt go cutter? I have cut a bunch in some lucious fall colors...browns, tweeds, oranges, reds, rust, tans, and other fun colors. Included in the circles are some perle cottons, needles.....everything you would need for a fall penny rug or tablerunner. A few patterns for wooly plant pokes and funky little penny rugs. IF I CAN FIND THE CAMERA, I CAN DOWNLOAD A PIC OF THE BOOTY. Oh, sorry, was I shouting? And yes thank you, I do ship overseas...happily!

Now the rules:

None. Ok fine, a few.  Just leave a comment on how much you want to learn how to work with wool and do the fun embroidery that others are doing all over the net! Please leave your email. If you don't have a blog and don't leave an email.....I will draw another name, sorry, no exceptions!

I'll draw the winner Oct 4th....and will keep adding little goodies until then...Lord help us all!

Don't forget to send an orphan block to Miss Lizzie in Australia...it only cost me $.98 for a stamp and that block was in a card! It is so worthwhile. And while I have your attention...keep the people in New Zealand in your prayers...their gale force winds are creating some real havoc there.

And lastly, thank you for all the kind comments you always send. Remember, you don't have to sign up to be a follower to enter, just a comment will do. Now, back to cutting MORE circles!...Elaine

  6. They look so perty all sitting like that, count me in for a chance to play with wool (and have someone do all the work of cutting first!!).

    I'm sending off my block to Aussie tomorrow, feels good.

    And my dunny is upright again (propped by a pole) but the winds are still ablowing!

  7. It's all Miss Lizzie's fault that I'm hooked on wool. BUT I still love her and sent off a little envelope to her already.
    Please pick me to win. I know exactly what I want to do with the circles and I never, well almost never, win stuff!

  10. I have a wool kit but have yet to use it since I d not want to mess it up so a tutorial on how to work with wool would be great! Thank you for the chance and please let me know what type of block I need to send.

  11. I see lots of penny rugs or wall hangings with these circles. Wool is such a pleasure to stitch through. It is always enjoyable to work with wool as you are not fighting with the needle and thread constantly.

  27. I have been wanting to work with wool for a while. I have a few small kits but haven't made any yet. This could be my inspiration!

  28. I would love to learn more about using wool. Something very comforting about working with it and it'd also a nice break from cotton applique and quilting.

  29. Oooohh! What a nice giveaway! I've been wanting to try making a penny rug or a candle mat with wool for ages. But unfortunately, there don't seem to be any stores nearby that sell the stuff. I would love to be entered for a chance to win all of this lovliness.

  30. I gotta confess....I hear it's good for the soul. I love wool and I keep buying it...gorgeous little scraps of hand dyed lovliness. I still haven't started a wool project! I don't know why, but I think I am afraid to cut into the beautiful stuff! Maybe I have wool-block! I hope it goes away soon.
