I decide not to use my hat, it was too floppy to fit all the names in it. Instead I used my favourite aqua vase (10p from a charity shop.) Why is it I always have to tell people when something was a bargain, it sounds like gloating, but it's really more - I can't believe I was that lucky.
My happy little helper chose the name Laura Lee out of the 10p vase. So congratulations Laura Lee, you're the winner! I'm now passing the luck onto you. Check out Laura Lee's sewing blog Capital Sew and Sew, it's full of great stuff!
Thanks to all the contest entrants, the response was fantastic, and it's so much fun to see my little "Out on a Limb" bird already being stitched. Anne the winner of my first contest, embroidered this and Elissa appliqued this (Elissa also has a great "cheat" idea for a quickie applique.)
Email me a link if anyone else is working on the birdie and I'll link you too :)
I'm once again having a hard time finding my desk and sewing table, time for a clear out. I'm considering creating some giveaway bundles, so if you want to have another go at a contest, watch this space.
Awww, congrats to all! :)
