Pastels

I have been blessed again by winning two more giveaways. This first one is from Mama T Keeps You in Stitches. She was celebrating her one year anniversary and I went over to say Congrats and my name was chosen. This fabric from the Serendipity line from Piece O' Cake. Thanks so much Mama T.
The second giveaway is from Dorothy Baker Designs. She has started a new BOM called "Sweet Nostalgia". She was giving away four gifts and I was one of the four who won! Look at this rainbow of fabric and embroidery floss from Lecien. I have my "Sweet Nostalgia" block traced and so now I am ready to start stitching. It is such a cute block and I can't wait to see the next one. Thank you so very much, Dorothy, for the fabric and floss and for sharing the BOM.
Edit: Several have asked me about the Lecien floss. I have used it and have ordered the floss from Bunny Hill Designs. I like it a lot. To me it has just a little bit more shine to it and doesn't fray as much as other flosses that I have used.
Here is another sneak peek of a pattern that you could win in my one year anniversary giveaway!
You can read about how I am doing my giveaway here. Scroll down unto you get to the last paragraph.

With Passion,

I have a favor to ask. Will you purchase a lottery ticket and split it with me? You are on a lucky streak!
Do you know when I commented on my guess for candy corn I had no idea of this giveaway scheme?! I just read that last paragraph on a post I completely missed when I was out of town....what luck was that! Anyway, I have no guesses for what this is...bummer.

Quick, Carrie...buy a lottery ticket cuz you're on a roll!

I bought the special that Anne Sutton was having on her website for the Lecien floss. She is still going to carry it but the new stuff is going to be two strands on a spool which I think is a wonderful idea. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

Love your sneak peeks!
