Look what I won

Over the weekend I commented on Marg's Blog at Sunshine Paradise when she was having a giveaway....and guess what....I won this cute little book called 'Tis The Season - Christmas Stitchings" by Natalie Bird.

There are some nice easy designs, with I already have an idea for using.  I really like the angel design which I know will come in handy and get used a lot in times to come.

Also in the package was a skein of silk thread in would you believe it one of my favourite colours and one that I tend to use a lot. It is a Kaalund Yarn, and the colour is Fine Mulberry.

Aren't I lucky.  I was just thrilled to receive these, thank you so much Marg for your kindness.

Something I do want to mention is the packet that the silk came in.  You will notice the name is the Cooroy Drapery.   Cooroy is a small town just north of the Sunshine coast, and one I would do an easy detour to when travelling through that area on my way to where I lived at Rainbow Beach.   It was a nice little town, and a very convenient coffee and rest stop, and the Cooroy Drapery was always a magnet looking for threads and fabrice.  I have been in that shop many times.  This has brought back memories to me.

  1. Congratulations Shirley, what a love prize. And a special mention also to Marg's generosity, great stuff. Love Natalie Bird designs. I know Cooroy Drapery too, remember stopping there once when we were driving through years ago. Lovely thread as well. Plenty of happy stitching hours in that parcel.
