Stitch Set Giveaway(s)!

So are you liking those connect-the-dots stitch sets?  Want a chance to win one?  How about several chances?!  Today, Alice at futuregirl is having the first in a week full of giveaways!  Well, maybe not totally full, but there will be at least a few more… so stayed tuned throughout the week!  For now, head over to the futuregirl blog and get your name in there!

I spent a few hours and a couple movies yesterday stitching away on 2 more examples (I love my job!) – the pincushion above gives a better idea of what that image should look like than my previous examples.  The craft tools set seems to be my least popular theme – I just want to remind you that the example images are often the most simple (which can mean most boring) so if you are turned off by the pincushion, keep in mind the other craft tools could be much more interesting!  Just sayin’….

And I stitched a fuzzy squirrel!  I used vintage tapestry wool, or needlepoint yarn (the label says both), which is basically a worsted weight wool yarn, and used the back stitch method, but with longer stitches than I normally make.  Worked well!
