Reality-check time GIVEAWAY!

Okay.......I am really making an effort to go through my sewing and craft stuff this winter and do some purging.  I am finding some items I forgot I had and know I will make....and some items I have found and, in reality, I know I will never make them....or they are patterns and I've already done them and know I won't do another.   These two items fit the "don't need any longer" category. 

The first one is a counted cross stitch Jim Shore "Father Christmas".  I really do like it (and someone gave it to me...if it was YOU, I'm sorry I'm not going to use it, but my eyesight has caused me to give up counted cross stitch for awhile now).  This is totally unopened and is not only the pattern, but also contains all the materials needed to make this...including the little beads for embellishment.  I so wish I could have made it, especially since I collect Jim Shore items, but I can't, so it is best in the hands of someone who will be able to complete it. You should be able to see the kit somewhat better if you click on the photo. 

The next one is a pattern only........Gobble Til You Wobble.  It is a small appliqued wall-hanging.  I did make this (so the pattern has some of my penciled notes on it as to my fabric colors, etc.).  I really like how this turned out, but it's the kind of project that I know I will only be making once, so....if you will use it, then it might be yours.  Sorry the photo isn't so great...didn't want to use a flash to make any glare spots on the pattern picture. Click on this to see a bit better, also.

If you would like one of these and will USE it (or be sure it does get to someone you know who would use it), please leave a comment telling me which one you'd like.......and why.  I will accept comments through Thursday, February 14.  At some point within a day or so after that, I will draw the winners' names.  Be sure your comment isn't anonymous and that I can reach your email address through that comment.  If I can't reach you by email, I will draw another name for the prize.

I would love to do the Fr. Christmas cross stitch. I so need to purge my space too. A giveaway is a great idea.

I would love the turkey wallhanging. I don't have many Thanksgiving decorations, and think this might be a fun addition to my seasonal wallhangings. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

No, I don't need one, Pat but you have me giggling.

I'm thinking: whenever I gobble, I wobble. ROFLOL

I am really trying to purge my craft, sewing, quilting collections too. Having said that I must sheepishly say that I love Jim Shore designs and would stitch that one up. Thanks for the chance.

I would love either one! I do enjoy Jim Shore's products and usually purchase one or two a year (mostly as gifts, because I can't afford to keep too many of his pretties in the RV)! But a cross stitch, I could hang that easily! But I also have a dear affinity for turkeys!!! :)

I have a collection of Santa's so I would love to do the cross stitch! Thank you for the giveaway!
