A Happy Blog Anniversary Give-Away

A Place Like This is three years old and almost 400 posts done. Something like this needs a bit of a celebration don't you think? First off, there is a new design to the blog.  For the most part it's finished but I will still be tweaking a few things on it yet.

This is a two-part give away.

The first is the new book by Alicia Paulson. Alicia is a fellow Oregonian like myself, and has a blog called "Posie Gets Cozy". Everytime she posts I find my way over to get a little dose of Oregon. Alicia has a new book out which I am absolutely in love with called "Embroidery Companion."

Each page brings a new treasure and an inspiration to pick up the embroidery needle and thread and get to creating some very unique works.

Currently, I'm working on these tea towels.

 but also on my to do list are these.

Next up on the give away list is something so special. Another place I shop at online is Alewives Fabric. Last year I bought this really lovely wall hanging quilt kit called Far Far Away Charm School, using the fabrics of Heather Ross. Though you can still get these fabrics at Alewives, the quilt is sold out and finished. So……. I am giving away one Alewives/Heather Ross quilt kit for you to make.

  2. happy anniversary! three years and 400 posts is something to be proud of.
    I am tempted by your generous giveaway but, alas, I don’t embroider (is that a word? see? I don’t even know the verb for that craft).
    Whoever does win will be very lucky!
    Looking forward to reading many more years of posts of you and your family’s days. 🙂
