My First Giveaway- Sewing With Oilcloth

Today is my 28th Birthday- so to celebrate I am having my first giveaway.

I am very excited about this giveaway from Modern June.

Kelly, aka Modern June, has such a fun sense of style-  all of the items in her wonderful Etsy store are super cute! They made from Oilcloth, Chalk Cloth and Laminated Cotton.

 I love these party banners- so fun- especially with the Chalk Cloth!

I really want one of these splat mats for my puppies!

Kelly's been very busy, she has an awesome new book, "Sewing With Oilcloth" that features fun, functional patterns with clear instructions and wonderful pictures.

She also has a wonderful selection of fun, cute Oilcloth, Chalk Cloth and Laminated Cotton in her Etsy store Oilcloth Addict. I ordered some oilcloth from her a couple months ago and it is wonderful (tune in tomorrow to see a project I made with it!)

Kelly just shared the fall Laminated Cottons- so pretty!!

Look at all the choices for Oilcloth!

Embroidery and a Giveaway

I love embroidery. It don't know when I started liking it so much, but I remember being really little and loving seeing all the beautiful wall decorations and tea towels my grandmother made. I have done a few embroidery projects- tea towels, wall hangings, but I want to get better at embroidery (I want to get better at all the crafts I am doing actuall, but embroidery specifically).

This summer Floss Box is having a summer stitch school on their blog. I haven't had time to partake yet, but it should be a good skill builder. They have tutorials for a large varieties of stitches and go step by step to explain them.

Here is some pretties from pinterest that have been inspiring me lately.

 Love the colors- love the saying- would be beautiful for a laundry room. Absolutely love her blog too. Source: SarahJane Studios.

Love this- so cheerful- love the fabrics hanging there on a line. Source: Paint Me a Picture.

I love quilts that have embroidery in them. So nostalgic and sweet! Love that the embroidery is also on dofferent fabrics. Source: LeAnne's House.

Another great effect- redwork. I love it so much- I someday would love to make a redwork quilt! Source.

So just in time for my embroidery obsession:

Geeky Sweet heart is giving away this too cool embroidery case here.

Act quick- it ends today!
