embroidery kit giveaway

Let's have a giveaway! I just got my samples of my embroidery kits with Dimensions/EK Success!

UPDATE: CONTEST HAS CLOSED! SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WINNERS.

Before I get to the giveaway details I wanted to share something with you!

When I was down in Orlando recently my mom came across an embroidery project that I made when I was 6 years old....... Here it is:

I did a napkin with the letter C and a beaded smiley face in the C and then also a couple of stitched hearts, with additional beading of course! How funny that stitched hearts are still one of my favorite things to draw and embroider!

OK so now for the giveaway details!!

First the goodies!

I have two embroidery kits on the out with Dimensions/EK Success. A "House Warming" set and a "Travel/Places" set. They come with the thread and iron ons and everything you need to get you started embroidering (except for the hoop!)!

UPDATE: WE HAVE OUR WINNERS!! Congratulations to Traci #76 and Panda's Rock #44. I'll be emailing you to get your address or feel free to please contact me so I can get you your prize!! thanks for playing everyone!! We'll have more giveaways next week!!

GIVEAWAY DETAILS: I will be giving away to TWO winners. Each winner will get either the Travel or the Kitchen set. I'll pick a winner at random using the inlinkz.com contest picker from the comments in this post. Just comment on this blog post to win and don't forget to leave me a way to contact you in your comment if your profile doesn't have that information! We'll run the contest to Saturday and I'll select a winner Saturday evening!

PS - These kits are available to buy on the Dimensions web site and I found them on 1-2-3 Stitch as well.

These both look adorable. I like to embroider on paper instead of cloth. If you do it on cloth it is sewing UGH but if you do it on paper well...

Oh what a cool giveaway! I love the Travel kit. I have a friend in Paris and she lives right next to the arc de triomphe this would be a nice idea for a gift for her, embellish an apron.
Right now I am working on a quilt with the arc de triomphe on it. My 12 year old is doing great in arts and crafts this year and I know she would love to stitch the big ben or the phone booth.
