It's that time - giveaway time!
Do you know Marly from Santa's and Sampler's blog (found HERE) Marly is a cross stitcher superb. She's also VERY generous with her talents, she has many free patterns on her blog and is always sharing her finishing tecniques with us. Marly also has a great sense of humor, I'm always laughing by the end of her blog posts.
Awhile back Marly asked me if I'd like some basket materials she had left over from her basket weaving days.....well of course I would! She sent me a kit for this basket. In honor of her kind and generous nature, I'm going to give away the finished basket. Here it is.....
Marly's Basket
Bottom view
Once I finished the weaving, I gave it a dunk in my homemade black walnut dye. It's the perfect size to carry your cross stitch projects in (or rug hooking, or needle felting, or......)
Now, on to the "rules" for the giveaway
1. I would love it if you were a follower of my blog and of Marly's (again, found HERE, while you are there, please tell her Thanks! )
2. Leave a comment on this post
3. Live in the USA
I will draw a name on Friday July 12. Please make sure I can get a hold of you for your address, whether I can get you through your own blog or by email. I'll give you until Sunday July 14 to respond to my email - otherwise I'll redraw.
Sweet little basket! I follow you and would love a chance. Warm Blessings! Amy
