Here we go. This is it. Taaa daaa...The Giveaway!

It's a double celebration - Sarah's SEWN Launch Party and my (almost) 10,000th visit.

I've used some leftover fabric from my Chocolat quilt to create two useful little items to have by your side when handstitching - a hexie pincushion and a handy threadcatcher.

In addition, I've included a whole metre of lovely chocolatey floral fabric from Moda's "Peace on Earth" range.

There might be a little something extra popped in too (the clue is in the name of the quilt these scraps came from:-)

To enter, please leave me a comment below before midnight (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on 7th June 2009. This is the only blog post on which I am accepting entries for the draw which will take place on 8th June 2009.

If you go and tell your friends about my giveaway through your blog I'll give you an extra entry - but you'll have to pop back here and leave an extra comment telling me you've done this because I'm using a numbered comments system to make using the Random Number generator easier.

I'm just a simple soul :-))

UPDATE Monday 8th June:
I've now closed comments for this Giveaway. Thank you to all who've kindly left comments and entered the draw. I will be choosing the winner this afternoon, using the Random Number Generator.

Cheers,

    Nice gifts! That little hexxy is calling my name! I did get a little sampler from an online order I made to try out hex sewing but have yet to find it. I moved everything out of my sewing room to paint in there and have yet to get things all back in! (in an organized manner...that's what's taking so long!)
