A little something from me ......

I so hope that you all are having a wonderful Christmas!

We have had a great day! The children were spoilt by Santa, we enjoyed their delight, shared it with family and friends and had a whole lot of very yummy food! What more could anyone ask for?

 

This is my Grandmother with the kids today.

I thought that this would be a good opportunity to take a moment to thank you all for visiting with me and taking the time to look at my creations and for all of the encouragement that you have given me.  This little distraction has helped me so very much this year!

So, how better can I thank you all than by having a little give away ... where everyone gets a gift! (well sort of anyway)

You may recognise this appliqué design. I have taken the appliqué that I made earlier in the year for the kids art smocks and turned them into 20” pillows.

I have made one using each of the two designs so there is a distinctively male and female version.

 

If you leave a comment here between now and the 1st of January you will have a chance to win this pillow. Just like the previous giveaway I will give an additional entry to everyone who has left a comment over my last 10 posts.

And just to make sure everyone leaves happy ... after all it is Christmas ... I have made a tutorial so that if you don’t happen to win you can make your own! Just ask for the pattern in your comment and I will send it off to you in a downloadable format.

Oh and one last thing ... as I said I've made a Rocket Ship version of the pillow ... but you will have to wait until the 27^th for that giveaway ... sorry it’s not quite finished J.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Kellie

Edit: You can find the tutorial and pattern for this pillow in my side bar listed under tutorials. Thanks for stopping by!

[maryanne]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I would love to win this pillow, it would make the perfect birthday present for my daughter who turns 3 in February. If I don't win, I would love the pattern, maybe I can learn how to do it and make it myself before then.

Thank you for a lovely blog, I am so glad I discovered it!

[Naomi]

Wow! What a stunning pillow! My daughter is absolutely addicted to 'little birdies' at the moment, she would love it! Thank for the chance to win.

Merry Christmas to you and have a wonderful New Year!

[Yvonne]

Of course I had to comment and of course I would be delighted to win, but equally delighted to get the pattern. I'm also waiting to see what the Rocket Ship version will look like. My husband is very interested in that "stuff" and used to work for the Norwegian Space Agency.

Have a great christmas and a wonderful new year.

[Caroline]

Merry Christmas.

[Janet]

Kelli, your work has been a joy to see and enjoy, thanks so much, I'd love to be in for the draw and pattern.

[Louise]

Merry Christmas Kellie!! Looks like you had heaps of fun. Santa was extremely generous to my girls too - lots of squealing and paper tearing - fun, fun, fun! Gosh you must be up for 1 year of blogging soon. Didn't this year go by in a flash. I am enjoying doing absolutely NOTHING today - well maybe a little sewing to indulge myself but I refuse to go anywhere. Maybe I just won't get dressed - anyway there are too many new toys to play with!! I love the cushion - do you ever stop?

[Amelia]

Merry Chirstmas Kellie, Thanks for posting throughout the year it has been an inspiring adventure. Best of luck for the new year.

I would love it if you could email me the pillow pattern!
Thanks

[Handmade]

Cool - great giveaway - I'd love to receive the pattern as well - Merry Christmas!

[Lara (thornberry)]

Merry Christmas Kellie - I hope to meet you in person in the new year! I'd love a copy of the pattern - I've already been lucky enough to win one of your giveaways! You are very generous, and your applique is incredible. I still don't know how you fit it in with four kids!

[Janet]

Kellie, I left the wrong email address so i am posting again. I would love to win the pillow and recieve the pattern. Thanks so much, happy new year to you all.

[Julia]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
What a lovely way to celebrate - I'd love to get the pattern for your beautiful piece of art. I admire your appliqué design for a while now...it's beyond cute!
Merry Christmas,
Julia from Germany

Kellie, Merry Christmas! My daughter and I LOVE your blog - she's 7 and oohs and aahs over your flowers and birdies and I ooh and ahh over your swirly quilting - love it all! In saying that we'd love to be part of your give away, and also a recipient of your free pattern, we can have a bit of Don't Look Now! at home!

Happy Christmas to you and your family. How cute is Tiger! Hope your tree stayed in one piece. Adds xx
p.s. Pattern Copy would be lovely!

[Holly (Two Cheese Please)]

I do have to say.. you're definitely my quilt goddess! I just love that quilt you "whipped up" for Christmas! I was lucky if I could manage to slip in a nap before Christmas!
I would definitely love to own one of your beautiful creations but if I can't be that lucky (and not all of us can unfortunately, or you'll be making pillows forever!) I would love to have the pattern!
