It Is Time For The Giveaway!

Hello everyone! It is time for the October giveaway. I just love the fall, and everything that goes with it. So, I thought I would punch up this awesome turkey design by Brenda Gervais called The Horn of Plenty, in wonderful fall colors.

I punched up this design on weavers cloth with my own hand dyed embroidery floss and Valdani pearl cotton. I turned it into a pillow, by stuffing it with sawdust, and just a little bit of lavender. The lavender smells wonderful. I attached a black and red plaid wool to the back. I finished off the edge with a black and burnt orange homespun yarn. I had a lot of fun making this pillow : ).

If you would like to enter the giveaway drawing, just leave a comment in the post and your email address, or a way I can get in touch with you if you are the winner.

On November 1st, I will put all of the names in a hat and have my fiance Dan draw the winning name : ) Check back then to see if you are the winner.

Good Luck everyone. And thanks for visiting our blog : )
