I've really enjoyed having a blog, its nice to feel a sense of community and being around other people who actually care what a bound buttonhole is! It's helped me a lot with my finishing and I tend to unpick and redo if I need to, I always think I can't post with it looking like that!! And I'm also a lot more confident in photos now and am actually smiling these days (compared to my early posts when all I did was scowl!)
I thought I'd have a little giveaway to say thanks! I managed to score a heap of Guttermann silk thread on sale the other day (I won't say how many came home with me, other than it was lots!) So I have 4 lots of 2 to give away - its great for any hand basting and really nice to make machine buttonholes with!
So leave a comment for me (make sure I can contact you through it). I'm happy to post international and I'll pick some random winners next week.
Good luck!
I enjoy following your blog and look forward to more in the future. Please enter me in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I am soooo in love with this silk thread! I've heard it's being discontinued - is that true? I'd live to win some, the local embroidery group scooped the local sale of it :-(
ReplyDeleteDiscontinued....whaaaa? I live for this stuff. Say it isn't true!!
DeleteI got all of these from Lincraft, they had a big bin of silk thread that they said was discontinued, but not sure if it was just changing colour numbers or if they restock every year or something??
DeleteHappy Blogiversary! Thanks for the tip on how/when to use silk thread. I have some at home... accidentley bought them.. and have no idea what to do with then!
