First Ever Embroidery Project {plus a giveaway}

Tomorrow an embroidered pillow I created using Aurifil threads and a free pattern from The Sometimes Crafter is being featured over at Lily’s Quilts!!!

If you are a first time visitor or regular visitor, welcome to my blog! 

Today I am giving away a copy of Aimee Ray’s book, Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection.  I accidentally bought two copies when I was looking for an introductory book to embroidery (the danger of shopping both on Amazon and at the local Joann’s) and one lucky reader will be getting a copy due to my mistake.

The book is amazing, and that is an understatement.  There is a library of stitches in the front section of the book with diagrams even I can understand.  It has a section of projects and then in the back there are over 400 patterns divided by theme such as “embellishments” and “under the sea.”  It comes with a CD so you can print your own copies.  I’ve printed quite a few and it makes it so easy for using an iron transfer pen or pencil.

To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog post.  For an extra entry, let me know you are a follower, old or new!  International entries welcome.  I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, April 2nd.
