Giveaway!

Since y'all have been so patient as I drone on about my first cross stitch love, Sheepish Designs/Antiques, I thought I would reward you with a giveaway.
In my frenzy to aquire all designs by the beloved SD/A, I sometimes wind up with a duplicate chart or two.

This is 'The McCarthy Sampler, fourth exemplary' designed by C. Daly of Little by Little fame.
The chart is clean and unused, although there is a price written in pen and also a price sticker on the front. (Should that be "There ARE a price and a price?)
The verse reads, "Love the Lord and he will be A tender Father unto thee."

Giveaway Rules:

1. You must be or become a follower. It sounds as though there should be a wicked laugh after that sentence, but really you just become a follower of my blog. (That still sounds a bit scary.) (It reminds me of a button I had on my jean jacket years (and years) ago that read, "Don't follow in my footsteps; I think I stepped in something.")

2. Leave a comment on THIS post. The winner will be drawn at random, but out of curiosity I would like you to include which Sheepish Designs/Antiques you have stitched and a rough count of how many Sheepish Designs/Antiques charts you possess. No, this is not a cunning plan for me to stalk you and trick you out of your SD/A charts! ;) I just thought it would make for interesting comments!

3. Mom, you may comment, but you may not enter. You no longer have any Sheepish Designs charts. If you start to miss them, I will let you borrow my binder on a trial basis every other weekend. BTW, thank you for "letting" me pilfer your charts! :)

4. BTW, I will draw the winner on Tuesday, February 8 at 9am Eastern time. (February 8 just happens to be my 14th wedding anniversary with Louisiana Man)

Love this one! I have only stitched a couple, however, I checked my binder and I have 14 - none of which are the McCarthy Sampler!!

I have to admit, I haven't looked at those in a while, but now I am thinking I should do a few more!!

Oh - and I am a follower!

This is lovely and I would love to have it. I don't have any Sheepish D charts as they are too hard for me to get hold of over here in the uK but I have seen enough of them on Edgar's blog to know that i like them. Wow - your mum stitches?? How wonderful is that. My dad stitches too but not into the stash enhancement lol. x

I have several old charts, but this isn't one of them. I also have the one from the magazine that you stitched (a previous post). I have probably stitched about 4 or 5 over the years. I can't for the life of me remember all the names unless I dig them out of the file. Right off I remember Meg's Bunny, Honeysuckle Vine Sampler, Louisa M Stephens Sampler, and a small sampler from a magazine. I have Yellow House kitted.

I'd love to be entered in the giveaway! Thanks.

This is a pretty design, I have NEVER stitched one of their designs. I did however find a chart at my local used book store a few years ago. It is "My Christmas Sampler" that is the only Sheepish Design I own. Hopefully I will be the proud owner of two ;)

Thank you for a lovely drawing.

Happy Stitchin'

Oh how exciting! I don't think I've ever seen this design before. I have loads of Sheepish Design charts. It's rather embarrassing actually. I think I have over 50. lol! I do love them. I don't think I've stitched a single one but I have so many I want to stitch someday. Thanks for the giveaway!

Deb said...

I have no Sheepish Designs charts and have never stitched one. There, I've confessed, tho, I have drooled over them in the past and I have bid on them on EBAY. :). I am already a follower and would love to be entered in the drawing! Thank you so much. Amy
