A Christmassy, One Day in May pattern giveaway!

2016 has been a year filled to the brim! There has been travelling and stitching days, classes and lots of new patterns… with dimensional daisies, gingerbread men and roses, vintage stitchery, swinging elves, a jewellery keep, needlework roll and more.

I’ve been so encouraged by you through the year… and I’m so thankful for that. I’ve enjoyed meeting many of you in person at different events and it’s been so nice to be able to share techniques and stories, while getting to know you just a little. Online connections have become face to face friendships, which is wonderful for a reclusive homebody like myself.

As the end of the year approaches (at a rate of knots) and as we ready ourselves for the festive season, I wanted to celebrate the year that was. It’s only fitting that we have…
