Next, the winner of my mini-competition was drawn at random by the large boy from a pile of scraps of paper. The person who will receive a Christmas card stitched with the skyline of her choice is.......
Kaye's comment on Coventry was very long! She gave a complete history lesson on Lady Godiva (from memory). I googled the story to check her facts and apart from being one century out she was spot on! If you are interested in learning more about Coventry, here is a very interesting website: Historic Coventry. HAED do a gorgeous Lady Godiva design too.
I seem to be on a winning streak myself, as well as Cucki's TP and Madame Muriel the Travelling Granny I have also won Sarah's PIF (aka The Crafty Moo). I love all these mini-giveaways. Someone somewhere was complaining about "Competitive Giveawaying" where people try to have huge expensive giveaways to outgive other people's. I'd much rather have a small pattern or a little stitched something with a fun competition than all the razzamatazz.
This weekend I've been stitching the Sewing Tools Sampler from Gift of Stitching magazine and also this cute little Spooky SAL from San Man Originals Message Board:
I've actually stitched the central ghostie now and am waiting for Part 3. The fabric is the same 28count Jazlyn I stitched Lisa Roswell's By the Light of the Moon on earlier this year. I have loads of it left so all my Hallowe'en designs will be stitched on it!
Finally, in response to my carpet pic, Kathy has posted a pic of her similarly patterned carpet. Could this be a new trend? Forget cute cats and delicious cookery, show us your carpet!

Getting something special from a blogger friend is always great. I try to send according to the person who wins...more personal.

Hi Jo,
Oh, I am so excited to have won. Thank you so much, I will have to choose Coventry, of course, please.
Can't wait to receive such a lovely Christmas card - and no worries if it comes after Chrissie - I will display it proudly anyway!
Congrats on your wins, too.
Hugs and thanks again, Kaye xoxox
I'd show you my carpet, if I could see it! I swear ever since I moved back in with my parents I've been experiencing teenage angst and "clean your room!" syndrome.
Oh well. Congrats, Kaye! (JEALOUS)
Yes, it is fun to win. I enjoy all of the give a ways, small and big.
I am not picky. I have also had a give a way on my blog when I hit 100 followers. Love your stitching.

great fabric colour for your San Man design.
Hi Jo - I love that pumpkin-colored fabric you are stitching - very pretty!
To me it doesn't matter is the giveaway is big or small - I never win anyway - lucky in love though... ;-)
