I am so excited to be able to offer one of my lucky readers a free copy of Stitched Blooms by Carina Envoldsen-Harris.
Plus the winner also will get an actual project from the book!
Read on....
I received a copy of the book myself from Lark Books last week and it's one of those pretty books that gets you really excited about making the projects in the book. I am looking forward to trying some of the projects, especially since finding several vintage embroidery hoops at an estate sale last week. There are over 20 projects in the book and there are even more designs, over 300, on the accompanying CD. The directions are clear, even for a beginner like myself. There are a variety of designs geared for all levels of hand embroiderers.
I think I may try to make a Mexican style top with embroidery on the yoke.
I also love that horse,calendar and tote bag!
As a bonus the winner of this giveaway is also going to get a project made from the book..
This pretty spectacles case below. Isn't that cool?

Oh my goodness this book is gorgeous! I guess I would consider myself an intermediate embroiderers.
ReplyDeleteThat woud be a perfect excuse to get some stitch work done.
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere between never embroidered and beginner--I tried to teach myself, but wasn't any good. My nine year-old sister was better than I was! Maybe this book could fix that... :)
ReplyDeleteNever tried! The closest I've come is cross-stitching A LOT when I was a kid. I would love to try it out as a detail on a garment though, instead of a pillow or wall-hanging. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway. All the things I could do with it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that some people are still hand embroidering, it seems like everyone has switched over to sewing machine embroidery.
ReplyDeleteI am I suppose a beginner. This book looks beautiful. A great giveaway. Sue x
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never embroidered before but the pic of the tote sure is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner. Just starting my second pillowcase after I enter your contest!
ReplyDeleteNever tried, but hoping to learn!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate hand stitching but love embroidering. I guess its because embroidery is so much prettier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun book.. I would so enjoy it.. thanks for offering such a nice giveaway.. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking book! I think I am
ReplyDeleteAn intermediate-level embroiderer.
I'm going to have to look into that book. I love the designs that you shared from it! I'd have to say I'm still a beginner stitcher. I've done a little but not enough to be consistent in quality if you know what I mean.;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool book! I've been thinking about getting back into embroidery!
ReplyDeleteI'd say I'm in the middle, intermediate! I love the shirt, such beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty middle of the road. Not advanced but far from beginner. :)
ReplyDeleteI've just started practicing with embroidery but I do other needlework like cross stitch and needlepoint.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful embroidery project book. I would consider myself a beginner with a lot of enthusiasm to learn. Thank you for an opportunity to win this awesome book.
ReplyDeleteNever tried but it does look pretty!
ReplyDeleteI believe I am an intermediate stitcher. Would love to win this book to help "jump start" my own individuality.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably intermediate. I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteLove needle work! Thanks for the chance to win :-)

Wow -- truly beautiful. I have gotten away from hand embroidery and would LOVE this excuse to get back into it. Thanks so much for the opportunity!! bmelahn@zoomtown.com
ReplyDeleteI used to cross stitch and embroider years and years ago but right now I'd probably put myself as a beginner! I have everything to get going again though!
ReplyDeleteI'm just beginning to learn how to embroider and am very excited. #ns
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome giveaway. I've never embroidered, but I am learning to cross stitch, so that's a start I guess.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be an advanced beginner. I learned in high school and started doing it again a few months ago. I love playing with different stitches :-) and colours :-). Awesome giveaway! I love Carina's stuff! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this type of embellishment. So old world. Love it and the book. Hope I win! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, love the bag and horse! I'm somewhere in the middle, improving...
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a beginner but would love to try more with the help of this book! Thx for an awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere in the middle. Not so advanced but not a beginner. This looks like a beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteHi. I am in a rut. lots of WIPs but can't seem to finish anything. haha I think I like starting something 'new'...
ReplyDeleteI still have projects that my mother made while I was growing up; she is my incentive to keep trying.
I learned how to embroider as a little girl, but haven't done it in like 15 years. So, I'm probably a beginner again, lol. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this out! It looks fantastic. I've been on a break, but would love to get back to it. I would say I'm a confident beginner.
ReplyDeleteAdvanced beginner:)
ReplyDeleteI have embroidered but I am not very precise about my stitching ... more whimsical. I don't like the pressure of making perfect stitches but I enjoy a finished piece! This book looks amazing. I would love to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteSuper beginner
ReplyDeleteLovely bag!! When my first boy borned I did a lot of embroider. Was the last time 7 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win. I am probably advanced beginner. I learned a few stitches, but I am certainly not a pro. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book! I havn't done much embroidery lately, but between my grandmothers lessons and my education I would have to say that I'm quite experienced.
ReplyDeleteI have embroidered most of my life, but I wouldn't call myself a pro.
ReplyDeleteI am a complete beginner. I'd like to become a pro, though!
ReplyDeleteI am a beginning embroderer. My 10 year old daughter has done some and I know she would love his book as uch as I would.
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner at embroidery. I love the patterns from this book and think it would really help me get started! Thank you for the giveaway.
