It’s our 1st giveaway! This is so exciting!
I decided to turn the turquoise Birdie Stitches Block 1 that I’m not using into a giveaway for the blog.
The giveaway runs from Thursday, January 20th through Thursday, January 27th. I’ll announce the winner on Friday the 28th. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and please make sure your email address is also attached to the comment so we can notify you.
I also decided to include a skein of embroidery thread that I purchased from the crochet4u2dye4 Etsy shop. I used these threads to make his earmuffs and scarf. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Be sure and tell all your friends and check back next Friday for the winner!

Wow! What a great idea, Lorrie! I think you’re right, turquoise in the entire quilt may be a bit too much, but in a pillow it’s great!! Thanks for offering the Giveaway!!

Woo Hoo a giveaway! I must confess I actually like this block ALOT and have never understand why you weren’t happy with it. I really like the blue background because the stitching shows up on it really well.

Hi Lorrie, I’m so tickled you decided to do this for your first blog “give away”! I have been sewing, stitching, and commenting in the Birdie BOM and I have been having a great time with all of you! Looking forward to the next block and watch how everyone “recreate’s” Little Miss Shabby’s block for February!

I just love the whole thing, but the blue sky background and the detail in the ear muffs puts it over the top on the “cute-o-meter”
Wonderful idea to use this as a giveaway.

This is way toooo cute. I like the blue background. The earmuffs and fringe on the scarf is a great idea (I may have to steal it).

Ahhhh!
Love this pillow.
I apologize for the confusion with my comment. A Blogspot blogger is easily lost on a WordPress blog :P

What a beautiful pillow and wonderful blog. Loved the the colors. While the turquoise may seem a bit bright, it reminds me of the beautiful waters of Hawaii. It will brighten anyones day – specially during these long winter months.

Wow! How cute is this little bit of winter pillow! I really like the cool snowman stitched on the turquoise background and then set off with the scrappy square border. I have a special place for it in my sitting room where I can enjoy it along side of my other snowman crafts and quilts.
