Thank Ewe ~ Monday Morning Giveaway

Over the weekend, my girlfriend Michelle called and started raving about a fabulous new designer she just met at a local art show. Rachel designs greeting cards and small gift tags and although I was sure they were adorable, I wasn't sure how they would fit with Loose Thread Stitchers. Obviously I need to learn that Michelle knows of what she speaks. Rachel has a fabulous line of non stitching cards but my favorite series is a fun set about a sheep made of small balls of yarn. I just LOVE the simple design. What a fun way to say thank you to your stitching friends?

Rachel's designs can be purchased at Ewe and I or your local yarn shop. Feel free to e-mail Ewe and I at info(at)EweAndI(dot)com if your local shop does not carry her line. They'd be happy to fill your order.

I heart these cards so much ~ let's have a contest! We will be giving away a set of 6 mini gift tags this week to a lucky stitchers. Here's how to get started:

1 ~ follow the Loose Thread Stitchers Blog
2 ~ Leave a comment and let us know what other kinds of stitching cards you'd like to see
3 ~ Share this post on your blog and post the link in the comments section
4 ~ Share this post via Twitter, follow us and post the link in the comments section
5 ~ Share this post via Facebook, join us and post the link in the comments section

You'll receive 1 entry each for a total of 5 entries. We will use a random number generator to choose the winner. Good luck! The contest runs till Sunday with the winner being announced next Monday. Good luck!

DMC Thread Giveaway

Have you ever stitched with Satin? If not you are missing the boat, it is a completely different sensory experience than the plain old ho hum of cotton floss. Satin has a unique feel and sound when it pierces the fabric that really makes my heart happy.

Truth be told my favorite part of stitching is the listening to the sound of the needle and thread moving through the fabric. I feel as if I am conducting a symphony of stitches that only I can hear. It makes me giggle when I think about it but it is true non the less, I am addicted to the sounds and feel of thread.

DMC Satin Floss is quite amazing. With a range of 36 radient colors to choose from, you can really make your piece pop with color while enjoying the feel and sheen of the floss while you stitch.

Win all 36 shades FREE from Loose Thread Stitchers!

One lucky Loose Thread Stitchers member will win all 36 shades of DMC satin threads.
