Back in March at the Friday Night Sew-In, I didn't do any stitching but did some reading of magazines from the library for inspiration (see this post).
One of the magazines I read was this edition of
Homemade (Vol 33, No 3).
I turned the page and what a surprise!
I was the Star Letter.
It was the Reindeer wall hanging and stitchery hoop
that I made for Pat in the Christmas In July Swap.
that I made for Pat in the Christmas In July Swap.
This is the prize pack I received. Some fabric,
acrylic templates, thread, A Thimblelady thimble,
ten fabric hearts, thank you cards, lovely papers,
embossing folder and stickers. The fabrics remind me a bit of vintage sheets and are quite pretty.
There was also this covered tape measure.
I think he is suppose to be a turtle!
This edition must have come out about November or December and I missed it. If anyone has a copy of this magazine they no longer want, I'd love to get a copy to keep. I was surprised I hadn't heard anything from the publishers that I had won. It was only after I contacted them after 3 months or so that my prize was sent to me.

Also, congrats to Nelson - I'm such a believer that getting involved on school life more than just turning up to class, makes for a richer & more memorable high school experience. Good on him
Looks like some fun reading, Christine.I've seen the Handmade mag here and have been tempted to buy it. That turtle tape measure is absolutely adorable! Wonderful prize package.
