Great International Stash Giveaway

Announcing Ginger Monkey's great-international-stash Giveaway.

First up, I'm planning to continue with more giveaways, because I have more stuff then seems reasonable. I'm thinking a weekly or fortnightly giveaway, on Wednesdays, until I am comfortable with the quantity of my stash. But that is in the future!

However let me describe today's offerings, for there are not one, but three, hopefully suitable for a range of crafters.

1) First up, there is some lovely fabric - a fat quarter with diagonal rows of red and pink high-heeled shoes. If you are a shoe girl, you'll love this. And if you aren't, the pattern is regular enough to be hidden from a distance.

2) Next we have two balls of variegated raspberry coloured Sirdar Snowflake Chunky Magic. (In reality the lighter colour is pinker.) These were bought in pre-blog days. I was making Kiddo a hooded jumper, but the shop didn't have enough of one colour. I thought I could use these for the arms if need be, but managed to get some more of the right colour later.


3) Last up, we have a child's size apron, mainly blue, but with some red and white.
It would appear to be unused, but was stored in my parents attic for many years. It probably came from Austria or Germany in about 1972, but there are no guarantees there. It looks like the main body was sewn together from three pieces, with a central panel and two side pieces. There are also two patch pockets with large flower motifs. If you didn't want it as an apron, the seams could easily be unpicked and turned into smaller pieces of fabric. The motifs (of men and women in Germanic national custumes) could be appliqued to some other things, like cloth bags. Or you could use it as apron.





OK, so what do you need to do? You have until Saturday to enter, by commenting on this post. Please let me know which ones you want and your order of preference. Also make sure that there is an easy means for me to get in touch with you. I'll print the names out, and then pull them out of a hat to find out who will win.

If there are fewer then 10 entrants, the first name pulled will get everything they want, and the next name will get what they wanted out of what was left, until everything is gone.

If there are 11 to 20 entrants, the winner will get their top two, and the other item(s) will remain in the draw for the next name pulled.

If there are more then 20 entrants, then the winner will get one thing, the second will get one thing and the third will get one thing.

Finally, please do join in here! I don't mind if this is your first time reading this blog, or if you have your own blog, or any of those many possible permutations that lead to people lurking.
