Fabric Giveaway!

29 Feb 2012 19 Comments

Working on a couple round robin pieces, so no update on the Forest Goddess until after those get sent out. In the meantime, I have up for raffle a piece of aida that I dyed. To enter the raffle, either send me a quick e-mail at [email protected], or just leave a comment here. One ‘entry’ per person, no limitations on where you live. Drawing will be on Saturday (March 3rd) at 12:00 pm EST.

This is 18 count aida, appx 14.5″ x 17.5″

Framed pieces

Just finished framing these two beauties in preparation for submitting them to the fair this weekend. I’m quite pleased with them, as I did the matboards and mounting the stitching myself. Also, for the mermaid, I had to chart out and and add some extra bits of seaweed along the bottom to cover a couple small red stains that managed to get on the fabric.

At some point, I will get the other 3 seasonal fairies done in matching frames and coordinating mats. These I had to get done right away, though. Guess we’ll see what the judges think now!

Went down the Fair today to check out the Arts and Craft competitions. 2 of the pieces I entered had won ribbons! I got a 3rd place for Mermaids of the Deep Blue, and an Honorable Mention for Mystical Mermaid. Yay!

I’m entering 3 different pieces in the Central Florida Fair next month, so we’ll see how I do at that one. 🙂

And here she is at the end of the first day of stitching. She is on a Polstitches fabric, not sure on the colorway, it was part of a grab bag. I think it will look stunning in the end, though. 🙂
