Giveaway Number FIVE winners announced...

Sorry girls that I am a day late in announcing this giveaway. I have been under the weather with a yukky winter cold, so had a little rest by the fire last night, I hope you will forgive me.

It is now time to reveal the final winners from my mega week of giveaways - and each of these two girls win a signed copy of my very first book, Pieces of Me.

I am so thrilled to be able to share it with them both - without further ado, the first copy goes to...

Giveaway Number FOUR...

Two little words - thank you - just don't seem anywhere near enough to express my gratitude to each of you for visiting my blog this week and for your amazingly kind comments. I am greatly humbled and thankful for each and every one of you. My little family has been going through some really tough times lately and this week has been especially stressful behind the scenes, so to have each of you pop in with such lovely things to say has really been an amazing help. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will share more about our behind the scenes at a later date. I am just thankful for amazing family and friends, I am super proud of my husband for his strength too and I am thankful to you my blog readers who support me as well.

Ok time to reveal giveaway number 4...

This little gift is very close to my heart for many reasons. Today I am giving away ONE handmade by me, needle keeper, made using a combination of the patterns in my book. It is special to me because of my LOVE of trees, and this is the actual piece of stitching that I was doing in several of the photos throughout my book - so my little sentimental self loves it all the more.

Inside you will find 6 little pockets, the perfect size to house packets of needles and any other little stitching items you may need.

And on the back is one of my favourite meadowsweet fabrics - I just LOVE it...

In my book, there is also a bonus project where you can turn this needle keeper into a photo wallet - the perfect gift idea or place to house your photos to take to a crop or family event.

So if you would like to be in the running to win THIS little needle keeper, simply leave a comment on THIS post. I will choose the winner for this needle keeper next Thursday July 15...

If you are new to my blog, hello and welcome x All of the giveaways from this week are made using patterns in my book, 'Pieces of Me'. If you scroll down further through my blog you will find more posts about  my book and lists of some of the wonderful stores that stock it as well. Also in the sidebar of my blog is a list of shops that stock my patterns and who can all get my book in for you if you can't see it in their store.

Pop back tomorrow for the FINAL giveaway for this week. I can't wait to share that one too... xx Janelle

EDITED TO ADD: Thank you to everyone who entered this giveaway. Entries are now closed and the winner has been announced... xx

Giveaway Number THREE and some show & tell...

Are you having fun? I know I am. Thank you to each and every one of you who have left such lovely comments over the last few days. I really am enjoying my week so much and am loving stitching these giveaways too.

Ok time to reveal today's giveaway... Today I am giving away an A5 journal cover, made from a selection of my current favourite fabrics and using the pattern from my book, 'Pieces of Me'. This journal cover is a one off original, made especially for ONE lucky winner...

Inside the journal cover, I have chosen a blank page art journal, so that whoever wins this journal cover can use it as an art journal, to record their patchwork journey, as a diary - the ideas are endless.

And if the lucky winner so chooses, they could use this cover to house a diary too...

So to be in the running to win this original A5 journal cover, just leave a comment on THIS post. And don't forget to enter the rest of the giveaways from this week too...

________________________________________________________________________________

Now onto some show & tell. Yesterday I was super excited to receive an email from my lovely friend Lisa Pate. She was sending me some photos of my iphone cover that she made for herself. It is GORGEOUS! I love the fabrics and colours Lisa has chosen, just delicious. I asked Lisa if I could share it here and she happily agreed. Gorgeous work Lisa...

AND I was an extra busy girl yesterday, and pattern tested my 'Frill Seeker' pattern. I really do LOVE this pattern so absolutely loved making it again. I am going to call this my 'winter' version as I think these are warm and cosy colours, and perfect to use in winter time - anytime really! 

(Note: I am still waiting to get a large self cover button but couldn't wait to show you, so please imagine a lovely big green self cover button on the front)

That ends my little show & tell for today. I will be back sometime tomorrow with ANOTHER giveaway... See you then xx Janelle

EDITED TO NOTE: This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been announced. A big thank you to everyone who entered x

Giveaway Number TWO and a brand new pattern reveal...

Thank you SO much to everyone who has entered my giveaway number one and for your lovely comments. Each and every comment means SO much to me, thank you.

I am super excited to reveal todays giveaway. Once again I have been busily stitching something from my book - my iphone/ipod pouch, just for you.

Today I have TWO iphone/ipod pouches to give away. The first is an aqua/white cover - again using one of my favourite Meadowsweet fabrics as well as aqua polka dot - yum!!

And the second is in pink, orange and my other favourite Meadowsweet fabric. I just LOVE these colours together. This photo shows that the front section of this cover is also a pocket, so is the perfect place to keep business cards, a spare key, a photo - anything you like.

To be in the running to win ONE of these two iphone/ipod pouches, simply leave a comment on THIS post. I will announce the two winners next Tuesday July 13. Remember, only one entry per person. If you haven't entered giveaway number one, there is still plenty of time to enter that giveaway as well. (Other phones have been tested and do fit in this pouch if you don't have an iphone or ipod)

Now, if you love these colours and fabrics as much as I do, then you will LOVE my brand new pattern release. I am beyond excited to share it with you, as this design has been living in my head for quite a while now. AND if you love my 'Frilly Dilly' bag, then this bag is the one for you - as I have designed it as a companion pattern to 'Frilly Dilly'. Without further ado, here is my latest bag pattern release called 'Frill Seeker'...

Featuring my favourite fabrics and frills, this bag is sure to be the highlight of your day and the perfect match to your wardrobe too. The pattern is being tested today and should be ready for shops to start ordering by early next week at the latest. So start whispering in your local shops ear so that they can order it in for you.

Here is the pattern cover photo so you can keep an eye out for it...

I hope you love 'Frill Seeker' as much as I do... Back tomorrow to show you 'Frill Seeker' made in completely different colours as well as giveaway number three. Hope you are having fun! xx Janelle

NOTE: Giveaway number two is for two iphone/ipod pouches only.
