I'm One!! and a Giveaway

I started this blog a year ago on my birthday and so I am one year old in blog years!!

I have never had a giveaway before, so it's definitely time to celebrate and have one NOW!!

Please leave a comment to be in the running.  You have until 5pm (Brisbane time) on Monday April 26 to leave your comment.

Soooo - what is the giveaway exactly???

A handmade (by  me) coaster - about 4" square
A sewing pouch that folds up into the size of a pocket - smallish but very cute - also made by me
 A Peter Rabbit alphabet frieze - about 6" high
A cross stitch pattern
A pincushion pattern - AND the finished pincushion (so you can say you made it yourself :-) )
A small picture frame - about 2" X 4"
A whole pile of authentic vintage squares - most sewn together into twos - each CUT square is 1 3/4" - so when sewn each square will finish to 1 1/4" - there are quite a few!  Over 200 of the pairs, plus about 9 4 patches.  Some are plain fabrics, and some have been pieced (thrift squares).  A while ago I bought some vintage blocks, washed them, unpicked them, ironed and recut them and then sewed them into pairs thinking I would DO SOMETHING one day - well that never happened...The light squares aren't vintage - just the fun prints...
A bright, vinyl covered fabric tote

Phew!!  I think that's it for now!
