Royal Wedding giveaway!!!!

Another Giveaway!

 

I never do things by halves - anyone who knows me well, knows that once I've got an idea I do it to death.

So.

As a giveaway was on my mind today, whilst making a cushion which happens to have a rather British (or UK ish ) feel to it, it set me thinking that it might be a nice idea to have a ANOTHER giveaway, but this one in celebration of the Royal Wedding in April.

So my next cushion cover will be just for that.



It's not yet finished - only started it today - the front is made but the cushion needs a back, but as I won't announce the winner until the day of the Royal Wedding I figure I have plenty of time to finish it!!

So, if you leave a comment on THIS post I will enter you into the giveaway draw for this cushion cover at the end of April.

And thats all for now folks!!!!!
Have a good weekend

Edited on Sunday 6th March:

Cushion now finished - see photos below!!







The fabrics are a mix of vintage, new and recycled, trimmed with new ribbon and vintage lace.



P.S Don't forget to enter the first giveaway too - see previous post!!!!

    I saw the coin that has been minted for the wedding this morning on tv and I have to say, it doesn't look like either Will or Kate! Oh dear!

    Hi Gill,

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. I enjoyed it very much! Your pillows look really great. I like the fact you use vintage material! It makes them special. I feel a bit uneasy about taking part in your giveaway, because this is the first time I visit.

    Enjoy your sunday!

    Lieve groet, Madelief

    Hi! This is a cool giveaway that I would love, love, LOVE to win. I have been wanting a Union Jack pillow. I am a huge fan of the British people, and I am a Huge fan of Dr. Who...... If I were to win this pillow, I can imagine myself lounging in my favorite chair with this beautiful pillow. The pillow would also,be an object of discussion as I live in Florida, USA.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks!

    It's a fun and gorgeous cushion! I'd love to have a chance to win it! I lived in Canada when I was a little girl in the 60's, first under the Union Jack and then the Maple Leaf. And I will be up in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow to watch the Royal wedding.

    Hi,
    I´ve found your giveaway just a minute ago.
    It is so brilliant and wonderful - I love it.
    We´ve decorated our house today to celebrate the Royal Wedding tomorrow.
    We spent a few days in Dorset last week and bought a lot of nice things for the wedding party.
    Love to watch it on TV and to join your giveaway.
    Hugs
    Molly
