Four years / Day two

*******************CLOSED *******************


Welcome to day two of my four years / four giveaways!

My second year of blogging had my Stained Quilt along amongst other things, and I still cant believe so many people wanted to make my quilt!  Freakin AMAZING!  But not quite as amazing as the first ever Fat Quarterly Retreat in London.  I met so many wonderful people.  I'm so lucky to be able to call so many of them dear friends!

It was also in my second year of blogging that I started a project with some stripey vintage sheets.  July, I think, was when it was first mentioned.  Well, it was finished last week!





Makes me think of Brighton, seaside, deckchairs and Mods and Rockers!  Quilted by the lovely Troodles.

But back to the giveaway...

When I got the mini charm packs for day one, I got an extra Happy Go Lucky pack.  I LOVE this line.  Its fabulously retro, I love the bright colours, its just gorgeous!

Today I would like to giveaway this cushion (pillow for USA!) , which I made with my mini charms.  Hope you like it!



Its nothing fancy, I kept it plain and simple to show off the prints and to show how quick and easy the charms can become something, I think, quite lovely.



Its quilted in crosshatch on the front and the reverse is a pillow closure in one of my favourite prints from the line, quilted in straight lines.  It takes an 18" insert.

Again, giveaway is open to all, but I'll not include the insert outside of UK for postage reasons, I hope you dont mind.
Leave a comment to win, make sure you are not a NO REPLY blogger, I'm not chasing after winners, I need to be able to contact you.
Giveaway open til December 18th.
