Feeling Stitchy is having a "Covered In Stitches Challenge". The challenge is to create a book cover using some sort of embroidery stitches. I have been working on one of these book covers. These books were some favorites of my daughter when she was a little girl.All you have to do is guess which of the Linnea books I have done, put that title in the comment box and you could win a giveaway. I will pick a name from those that guess right. You could win some Cosmo thread, a spool of Pearl Cotton thread, a fat quarter of fabric, and a little punch needle box that I made.
And if you don't guess right you could still win this dishtowel that I embroidered. So everyone has a chance to win.
I will pick two names on November 3rd. I will also reveal my cover for you to see. Make sure I have a way to get in touch with you if I pick your name.
Helen of Bustle and Sew has created a free book called Top Tips for Stitchers. You can download a pdf or read it on line. Helen creates the sweetest patterns. Check out her blog if you like to embroider.
Helen just asks that if you download the book that you follow the rules in this box.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Linnea's Almanac. I always loved the illustration of those books...
I would make Linnea's windowsill Garden as a book cover so I am guessing you will too! Can't wait to see how yours turned out, whichever one you made.
What a fun giveaway! I would say you worked on Linnea's Windowsill Garden. Well, that is what I would work on (o:
I look forward to see what you created!!
What sweet books!! I would guess Linnea's Almanac :-) Can't wait to see whichever one you stitched.
I am guessing Linnea's Windowsill Garden because of the vines! I love them... but I bet any of those covers could be created wonderfully in your embroidery! I'm looking forward to the reveal..
I am guessing Linnea's windowsill garden. Can't wait to see which one you actually did.
Hugs, Grace
I'm guessing Linnea's Almanac. And thanks for the link to the interesting book.
I am thinking it is Linnea in Monet's Garden. This one seems more like you to me.
Thanks for sharing and the freebie e-book. I'm off to check out Helen's blog.
Many, many hugs - Marie
The windowsill garden! And thanks!
Thanks, Carrie. What a fun giveaway!
I'm going to guess Linnea's Almanac although any of the three would be fun to stitch.
My guess is Linnea in Monet's Garden. This one seems more like you to me. I love how she is doing the happy dance through the garden.
Difficult..they are all wonderful covers! Taking a stab that it would be Monet's Garden and 2nd guessing the Almanac! Errrr
I think I am going to pick, eenie, meenie, minie, moe.....Linnea;s Almanac...or maybe not...no I will stick with my first guess...
Linnea in Monet's Garden, it's my favorite cover so I'll go with that one. My oldest daughter enjoyed that book too when she was little. Awww, time goes by too fast.
That would be so fun to do, I have some old books and was thinking of doing some of the designs in them. I am thinking that you did the almanac book, that looks like an easier one to embroider. I can't wait to see what you did.

Linnea's Window Sill Garden?
I would like to guess Linnea's almanac. She has such a lovely smiling face, would be lovely to stitch.
Can't wait to see your choice. I know it will be special.
My guess is Lonnea in Monet's Garden. Thanks for the great giveaways.
I think you stitched the Windowsill Garden...cute books, for sure!
I think I am going to pick Linnea's Almanac. I can't wait to see which one you picked and how you embroidered it.
Hi Carrie,
I'm guessing you had fun with leaves and vines and flowers looking out at a windowsill garden.
Either choice you made I'm sure it is gorgeous, love to see your finished porject.
I'm guessing Linnea's Windowsill Garden. Can't wait to see your project completed!
Going with the Linnea's Windowsill Garden...what a fun way to arrange a giveaway!
Monet's Garden. So joyful.
Linnea's Almanac - beautiful book cover all by itself! blessings, marlene
Linneas Window sill Garden ?
I think it's Lennea's Almanac. Just a guess.
My guess is Linnea in Monet's Garden. Thanks so much!
Hmmm... Monet's Garden? :)
Since the fat quarter that you are giving away reminds me of the background in Linnea's Almanac...that is what I'm going to guess.
i am guessing linneas's almanac because of the beautiful greens, leaves, little bird and joyful smile on that little girl's face -- God is good! thank you for this grand opportunity!
Linnea's windowseal garden.....
All thre would be fun.....love those books! But I am guessing that it is the Almanac....but the bird in the corner could become a bluebird.
Monet is my guess. All would be very nice. Can't wait to see which one is correct.
Wow what a lot of lovely stitching, that is a great challenge! Linnea's Almanac, perchance?
