4th Blogoversary Giveaways :)

The 25th May saw my 4th Blogoversary & to mark the event I'm offering a giveaway... well 2 giveaways actually. One for Cross Stitch & one for Quilting.

Before I post you a picture of the giveaways I have just a few requests for your entry.

• Please leave a comment on this post only & you will be entered into the giveaway.
• Please state on your comment if your entry is for Cross Stitch or Quilting.
• Please leave a seperate comment if you wish to enter for both.
• For an extra entry into the giveaway please post a link to this page onto twitter using the hashtag #giveaway & include me in the tweet @LisaGCreates. Thank you & much appreciated :)

Now for the fun bit... the giveaway items.

First up is the cross stitch bundle. All items are from Polstitches Designs. It includes 3 pieces of dyed aida, all measuring 9 x 12 inches & 3 packs of limited edition hand dyed threads. The limited editions are called "Santa Says It With Thread", "Lets Talk Colour" & a pack which includes a Polstitches Designs cross stitch chart called Oriental Lady but appears to have no name. All packs have 7 hand dyed varigated threads in them.


Next up, the quilting giveaway. This is 8 fat quarters, cut fresh off the bolt. They're from the Notting Hill range by Fabric Freedom. I love this range & I'm looking forward to making a quilt from it myself but I'd love to see what the winner of this FQ bundle makes with theirs.


The giveaways will close at 12 noon BST on Sunday 12th June & I'll announce winners on Sunday evening. That gives you just under 2 weeks to get your entry's in & to spread the word to all your crafty friends.

Happy stitching & happy winning :)

BOM & Central Park

I managed to complete the next block in the quilt groups Block of the Month. Funny thing is the fabrics I'm using for these blocks are the same fabrics that I used for my pinwheel quilt. I had quite a bit left so thought using it for these blocks would be perfect, the only thing is that so far I've only used up scraps from the pinwheel quilt & haven't even touched the yardage that I have left over. I can see many quilts in the future being made with these :)



I follow @fabricshoppe on Twitter & often they have some of the best offers but being in the states I've tended to just look but a couple of weeks ago they offered some half yard bundles of Kate Spains Central Park fabric & to be honest it was an offer to good to miss. I'm totally in love with the Central Park range of fabrics & with the $/£ exchange rate being so good at the moment it was well worth me ordering, even with postage it was a good deal, this week they arrived & here they are........ aren't they adorable? (I've ordered another pale blue one in the same range to go with it)


In the coming weeks I'm going to be offering a giveaway. 25th May is my 4th Blogoversary. I haven't decided yet if it's to be fabric &/or cross stitch.... how exciting :)

Happy stitching :)
