Sorry, the giveawy is now closed!
My 100th post, Snow day, and the 25.000 visitor mark was passed about 800 visits ago, so yeeey:-)
I wanted to do something special for my first giveaway, so I have put together a kit for a Village Table runner top, with the precious snowy fabric and all.
All you have to add is the white squares for the snowy roofs, thread and your time. The house fabrics are not exact the same as in mine as I ran out of a few of them, but here is the kit (sorry about the ray of sunshine that snuck into the picture):
The houses are the appropriate size, all 20 of them. The snowy fabric is cut into one strip for the mid section and one strip for the sashings (sorry, you'll have to cut these yourself).
If you are new to the Village Table runner, you’ll find my tutorial on how to build a house here, and my free pattern "Building A Village" here. Your village will be 1 house unit shorter than mine.
This is how you enter the drawing which will happen on January 31st. Let’s face it, it’s already too late for this Christmas season, and with all the family gatherings, eating and napping, it will probably take us a while to catch up on our blog reading. Wouldn’t it be great to get a head start on next year’s projects though..
1) Leave a comment to this post and you’ll get one ticket in the drawing. Make sure your blogger profile includes your email address (Click “Edit Profile”, check “Show my email”, and click “Save”) or leave one here so I can get hold of you if you are the lucky winner
2) Post about this giveaway in your blog including a link to this post (feel free to use the image on the top of the sidebar too; I have in vain tried to make this button thing work…).
Leave a new comment when it’s done and you’ll get another ticket in the drawing; I will check though.
3) If you are one of my wonderful followers (or become one), leave a sparate comment telling me so and you’ll get another ticket in the drawing.
I wish you all good luck:-)

ReplyDeleteOk, all blogged Nina! Come and visit http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.com/2009/12/let-there-be-light.html
ReplyDeleteYour pattern is beautiful and I will try it even if I don't win. But I hope I do! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI saw your village when you completed it earlier, and fell in love with it. Maybe I'll make it if I win it. I always seem to have good intentions, I save the patterns, but never seem to get out to buy the fabrics. So winning this would get my butt in gear and I'd actually make something. Wouldn't that be a novel idea? Love, love, love your Village table runner.
