The Celebration Continues!! Come Join In!!

Finally!! I'm sitting down to continue what is supposed to be my Celebration of one year of blogging! Hubby is on vacation for a couple of weeks and things tend to end up in an uproar around here! It takes him two or three days to settle down  and relax a little. HMMMMM did I just say relax?? I'll explain later. First back to my blog celebration!


I have been wanting to have a give-away for quite some time. I haven't been able to decide what to give-away! If you follow my blog you know that I have won my fair share of give-aways. (I'll be writing a tutorial soon on how I do that....LOL just kidding!)   I'm humbled that I just won another one over on Kelley B's blog KankNChester and I'm thrilled to death to get one of her patterns! I have long admired how she designs such charming, simple and primitive rugs! How do you do it Kelley?!!! 


I have tried my hand at designing and am a novice to say the least.
When I first started hooking a few years ago, I designed the Autumn Trio rug that you see up there in my blog header. I was honored beyond words when my rug hooking teacher and friend Irene actually wanted to buy my pattern and hook it! Not to brag but it is a fun pattern to hook! It is such that you could do the pumpkins in a lot of different ways and make it your own! The birds could be different colors etc.


 So I decided to go back to my beginnings in rug hooking to celebrate my year of blogging and give away three patterns! One each to three of my wonderful blog followers! The pattern is drawn on my favorite Michele Micharelli 100% natural linen. It measures a nice size of 19 1/2 by 14 1/2 inches. I'll send along a photo of my finished rug for inspiration! Just leave me a comment letting me know you would like to enter! That's all! Gosh, I'll do anything for comments!
we'll have a drawing in a few days!


I have a few more surprises up my sleeve as this celebration continues! Julie, you may get your answer yet so stay tuned!!
