As promised I have LOTS to show you that I have been so busy working on over the past couple of months that I just haven't had time to show…. So…. to get us all in the Christmas Spirit we are going to have four days of giveaways… yes, that's right, you need to come say hi every day this week to get onto my Christmas list!
For all of the Twas the Night stitchers I have been stitching up your next projects – and if you are quick, there is time to still make one or two – of course there is…. there is still 25 days to go!
So today’s giveaway is my new Jolly Old Santa Tablerunner Pattern
If you made Twas the Night you may even have enough scraps left over to make this to match – if not get a few more fat quarters of reds and whites and you will have enough to make all three of these new companion patterns (yes, there are two more to come).
The table runner has a matching stitchery design at both ends and a simple star block repeated three times in the centre. Now if your table is shorter than mine then you could make only two star blocks so that it suits. I have included iron on transfers in the pack so it will be an instant start for you – just iron on those designs and stitch away. I used a single colour of thread – DMC 115 and two strands so very therapeutic stitching ahead here girls…my favourite when I need quick therapy…the feel of the needle and thread and some quiet stitching time..
so, to enter to win one of these patterns -
you need to leave a comment with your blog address and if you have your email profile blocked please leave your email address as well.
I will choose one lucky winner tomorrow as I show you the next new design…
PLUS – if you have left your blog and email address, AND I go to visit your blog (I do try to visit most of you) and you have this blog in your blogroll (cos you really are my friend and should be on my Chrissy list:) ) then I will email a little Christmas pattern to ten more of you – yes every day this week.
happy commenting
hugs,
Helen

OMG I would LOVE to win your redwork table runner. TOO CUTE!!! It would be a must make project and would NOT end up in my UFO bin. Love your Twas the Night Before Christmas pattern too. I'm a follow of your blog but I don't see my picture as a Google follower. Blogging is still foreign to me in many ways....so hope I've done it right. Love you Australian designers. Your stitchery patterns are wonderful but not many are to be found in the US quilt shops. It makes me sad!!! Thanks for the chance to win one of your designs. If I win I will be on top of the world!!!!

Helen, The table runner is delightful. What a perfect way to add some holiday eye candy to a room. We are in the middle of doing a little remodeling in the upstairs but my family room downstairs is being kept in order so I have a place to maintain some measure of sanity while the house is torn to pieces upstairs. I have a table that is in true need of a holiday topper so I am really keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Thanks so much for the chance. I'm so sorry I don't have a blog. I do have a Google profile set up from when I started to get my blog going but life has kept getting in the way of activating it. After the remodel, and now that I have my new computer (after 10 years on the older one), I will get one going. Then I will be able to blog about all the wonderful treasures and giveaways I see on my favorite, 'must visit daily' blogs. Thanks again for your fun giveaways and generosity. Hugs... Oh, and Good Luck Everyone!!!

I'm hoping to take photos of them all when we meet in a couple of weeks, so will send a pic. Having said that, I'm sure we would all be up for making the table runner as well!!
