I do love the snow, and enjoy the opportunities that the snow provides to take interesting photos.
But I really hate feeling cold all the time, and am tired of the boots, coats, hats, scarfs, and mitts routine. And I miss the sun :(
I am doing lots of hand work this winter to stitch my way through the cold weather. I also host Sunday Slow Stitching link-up parties, and would love to have you join us if you are a blogger who enjoys hand stitching.I am offering stitching patterns to all you blog hoppers as my giveaway.
Do you prefer a winter pattern to work on...like this Crabapple Hill "Let it Snow" pattern.Or if you are sick of snow, and want to look forward to spring, I have the Bird Brain Designs "Easter Sampler" pattern.
Leave me a comment and tell me which of these two designs you prefer and I'll pick two winners on March 15th when the blog hop is over. Happy Stitching!
And P.S....
Happy International Women's Day!
What are you doing to celebrate? I am going to sew a few more blocks for my Votes For Women quilt....and as recommended by the IWD website, I will do whatever I can to "ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe, and rewarding". I also plan to watch some of the films posted on line by the National Film Board of Canada. My favorite so far is the film "Flawed"...enjoy!
Morning Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI would love the Easter package.,I am sure I can be kept busy stitching that little sampler up! Happy Stitching!
I have been thinking of getting back into hand embroidery: the Easter samplers seem to be great for a year's long project.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely tired of winter!!! I'd love the Bird Brain Designs "Easter Sampler" pattern. What a sweet, fun pattern!!! Thanks for playing along :*)
ReplyDeleteI would have to vote for the winter stitchery. Living in the south we don't get to see much snow! But, we still do get tired of winter days and look forward to playing in the garden!
ReplyDeleteI'm fed up of winter too!
ReplyDeleteI like the Easter pattern!
I love the Bunny Hill designs. Thanks for joining the Blog Hop! I'm ready for SPRING!
ReplyDeleteEaster, most definitely Easter. I am so tired of winter, like you, that I'd prefer no reminders of it once it is done. LOL!
ReplyDeleteuhhh CUTE!! hmmm I may prefer the winter one, but they are both fun and cute. we still haven't gotten a GOOD snow for the kids in NC, now NC schools are wimps so school has been cancelled or delayed because of the threat of snow or too cold or whatever....
ReplyDeleteEither is good..thank you
ReplyDeletePersonally I like the Easter Sampler. I'm hungry for Spring!
ReplyDeleteBoth are adorable but I've never seen the Easter Sampler before so that's my choice if I'm lucky enough to choose... thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHI! THESE ARE SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI'D CHOOSE "LET IT SNOW">I'M IN SNOW COUNTRY! THANKS!

I could easily love either one but I suppose I am ready for a darling Easter stitchery. Thanks so much for the opportunity! Love your header with your hearts and candy...you do such a great job of encouraging us with your talents.
ReplyDeleteI'd choose the Bird Brain Designs "Easter Sampler" pattern. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I'm sick of winter too, so I like the Easter sampler. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs tired as I am of being cold all the time I would choose the Let It Snow pattern. I could start working on it in August when I've had it with 100 degree temps.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE Crabapple Hill stitchery. Would love to have a chance to win this one. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteMary

ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful bike in the snow! I would like the snowman stitchery. I love winter much more than summer - so I say "Let it snow" :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of your pattern giveaways! You would have to choose for me if I won!!! Great giveaway and Happy Women's Day too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute stitcheries! I'm thinking the Easter one just because I have lots of winter/snowmen but very little spring things for decorating. Thanks for the chance Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I have quite a few snowmen patterns and no Easter ones so that makes up my mind - Bird Brain pattern for me!
ReplyDeleteI love the film "Flawed" - thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteWe still have snow, but we have snowdrops up! I'd love the easter sampler pattern.
ReplyDeleteOur snow is replaced by rain in the winter and I too miss the sun! I have also been doing a fair bit of hand stitching this winter--mostly in front of the TV. I collect snowmen and would love the Let It Snow pattern. Here's hoping that Spring is just around the corner for us both!
ReplyDeleteI love old fashion hand embroidery. I like the snowmen the best. Thanks for cheering us up.
ReplyDeleteI like the Easter Sampler. You are a very busy lady.
ReplyDeleteEaster Sampler please :)
ReplyDeleteCrabapple Hill all the way! Here in the south we don't really get a winter...just a little cold weather here and there.
ReplyDeleteEither pattern would be fun to do! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI just started stitching and I think the Easter sampler is adorable and would be great practice! Thanks for the opportunity! This is a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Let it snow design. thanks fo the chance!
ReplyDeleteI think the snow pattern is very cute. Thank you for the nice give away.

ReplyDeleteI would so love the easter pattern. Thank you for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI think I would choose Easter. I am ready for warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I love to stitch so much, that I would accept either of these designs! I am definitely going to check out your Sunday Slow Stitching, it sounds delightful and I have 6 or 7 stitchery projects on the go!
ReplyDeleteCath @ Bits 'n Bobs
I've done so little embroidery recently. It might be nice to do a bit again. I'd like the snow pattern. Heck, what am I saying either would be fabulous. B.
ReplyDeleteLove the Easter sampler, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer the Eastern Sampler. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Easter design. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love hand stitching. There's just something about watching the "picture" develop as it is stitched. I love the Easter sampler.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am certainly tired of winter I am not a big fan of samplers so would take the snowman stitchery. I find stitcheries so relaxing and do them in the evenings while watching tv.

ReplyDeleteI would love to have the Let it Snow pattern. I'm making a embroidery Christmas quilt. 3bakergirlsgo@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed doing red work this past winter. I just finished up Winter Twitterings - 12 blocks to be made up in a quilt. Since I live in NC and don't see much snow I would love the snowman pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love hand stitching and the let it snow is so cute, but I also like the Easter sampler. Love your alligator.
ReplyDeletesince we never get snow here, and yes I do miss a lovely snowstorm.. for a few minutes at least.. so Crabapple hill would be my choice.. just to remind me of my hometown.
ReplyDeleteI'd like either. Thanks for a great giveaway! Have a Happy Day! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the Easter sampler;
ReplyDeletebut either would be fine. Thank you so much for the chance to win.

I like the spring print! Thanks for the chance to win :)

ReplyDeleteOh Easter is what I want! I am so looking forward to spring. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteEaster sampler...I'm dreaming of Spring weather!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I like the let it snow pattern. I am also a hand quilter. I would love to join your linky parties, and have clicked to follow...but rarely remember to check my google blogs. I prefer to get my favourites in my email. I didn't see an option to follow by email...is this possible? Thanks and nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI think here in Maryland we may get some more of the white stuff before March is all said and done, so I'm going to vote for the winter pattern, although both are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhile I do love snowmen, I'm sick of the white stuff (just finished digging out of another 8 inches that ended yesterday)!
ReplyDeleteSo--if I won, I'd love the spring pattern.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
:o)

would love the Easter Sampler, thanks so much for the opportunity
ReplyDeleteLet it Snow would be perfect for me! I'm enjoying my first winter in snow in over 20 years (and the year I had back then was a mild year so didn't see much snow then). I'll be returning to California at the end of the semester so it will be all mild all the time then! Thanks for putting my name in the hat for your drawing!
ReplyDeleteI would pick Let It Snow since I haven't yet done a Crabapple Hill project. I've admired them and have one or two in mind to purchase in the future.
ReplyDeleteHard to decide - they are both adorable! I'm slightly partial to the Easter Sampler, but then I really don't decorate much for Easter. I think I'll stick with that as my choice though
ReplyDeleteboth are wonderful patterns I'd be happy winning either but I do love snowmen
