The giveaway prize will be....and the ~Bouquet~ Flickr group!

Thank you for all the wonderful compliments on ~Bouquet~!
Have you begun to stitch Block 1 yet? I have set up a Flickr group for you to upload photos of your completed ~Bouquet~ blocks HERE. I can't wait to see them, so please make sure to share your handiwork on the group!
Have you left a comment on THIS post to enter my giveaway?
Well, today I will tell you what you will be receiving if you are the lucky winner drawn next Monday!
I love French General - the fabrics, the stationary, the books! I love French country decrating too! So what will I share for the giveaway?


Kaari Meng's gorgeous book, "Home Sewn"!
Now...if you haven't entered the giveaway, you'd best leave that comment, eh?

~~~~~

I promised you days ago a photo of the shelf Mr Elefantz built for me in the sewing room...

It has made such a difference! Now I have more space on the sewing table for my cutting mats - so much easier to work with. What a sweetheart I have in him!

Stay close to this blog tomorrow....I have FOUR new designs to show you!! For now though, I'll go back to working on that secret project for later this year (while the rain pelts the roof and cools the house). Isn't it lovely to stitch while you listen to the beat of the rain?

Hugs
Jenny

FlourishingPalms said...

Lovely designs, Jenny! And I'd love to listen to rain on the roof while I stitch...instead of the howling wind, and KNOWING it's blowing more snow (33", 83cm so far this winter season) and making for white-out conditions. The only thing this weather is good for is making quilts!

I want to win. lol You are such a busy designer I don't know how you have time to blog, design, sew and do all you do. I so enjoy keeping up with you and I look forward to all your projects of 2010. Love the shelf. I need some shelving in my room. So much stuff and can't find what I need when I want it. I am a little addicted to quilting stuff and I know it. Quilting stuff and read ing quilting blogs. I need to get more sewing in there. Have a great day.

Hi Jenny, Do you think you ever got enough space? I have a big rtoom for all my stuff but it´s hard to get organised.
My SHABBY ROSES top is finished but I don´t know about the borders yet.
We have lots of snow and real cold -20 degrees below C
Love your blog

Jenny my girl, what a fab prize you're offering! Your shelf is lovely, hubby did a wonderful job and it looks so pretty! Send him over, I need some shelves too. *G* But only if you come with him.

Four new designs, I can't wait! I love stitching while the rain is falling, or the snow. Glad it's cooling the house for you!

Patty said...

Oh, I would love to have that book. I glanced thru it at a quilt store, but thought I should wait to get it since I bought enough of the fabric to make myself a quilt.

Hello Jenny,

Hi, Jenny - I haven't seen that book up here in Canada! I'd love to win it! And I love the block, too! I have it saved; need to find the right fabric first!
Aren't shelves the BEST?? DH built me a couple in our last couple of homes, and I loved them. Now we are renting, and can only put a few small holes in the walls, so I am without :( Oh, well. I know you will truly appreciate them.

Deb said...

Jenny, how do you get away with such a small shelf??? I need bookcases!!-lol.
They do make such a difference in our little areas don't they and it is so much nicer to sew on an uncluttered desk-must get onto that, msg to self-unclutter desk!!

Janice said...

You won't know yourself with a new shelf. Room to move, and the little bits and pieces still easy to access. Your special man has done well. The book is a very generous gift.

Di said...

Your generosity continues and we your blog pals appreciate this. Have a few projects to complete before starting another one. Love the shelf.
Would love the book!

Margaret said...

G,Day Jenny, I haven't started block 1 yet still drooling over it. The gorgeous bag I made from the Christmas stitcherie gets fair comment where ever I am. I too would love that book.

Dricca Kastrup said...
