Stitched Blooms Book AND Embroidered Glass Case Giveaway!

10/01/2013

  I am so excited to be able to offer one of my lucky readers a free copy of Stitched Blooms by Carina Envoldsen-Harris.
Plus the winner also will get an actual project from the book!
Read on….

 Stitched Blooms is a beautiful new embroidery book by Embroiderer Carina Envoldsen_ Harris. It’s 300 designs and motifs feature lovely floral designs, some with a folk art feel I love.
I received a copy of the book myself from Lark Books last week and it’s one of those pretty books that gets you really excited about making the projects in the book. I am looking forward to trying some of the projects, especially since finding several vintage embroidery hoops at an estate sale last week. There are over 20 projects in the book and there are even more designs, over 300, on the accompanying CD. The directions are clear, even for a beginner like myself. There are a variety of designs geared for all levels of hand embroiderers.
I think I may try to make a Mexican style top with embroidery on the yoke.


 I also love that horse,calendar and tote bag!


 If you would like to learn more about the book and author you can check out Carina’s About Stitched Blooms page on her blog.


 

 As a bonus the winner of this giveaway is also going to get a project made from the book..
This pretty spectacles case below. Isn’t that cool?

    I’m somewhere between never embroidered and beginner–I tried to teach myself, but wasn’t any good. My nine year-old sister was better than I was! Maybe this book could fix that… 🙂

    Never tried! The closest I’ve come is cross-stitching A LOT when I was a kid. I would love to try it out as a detail on a garment though, instead of a pillow or wall-hanging. Fingers crossed!

    Thank you for this giveaway. All the things I could do with it 🙂

    I’m glad that some people are still hand embroidering, it seems like everyone has switched over to sewing machine embroidery.

    I am I suppose a beginner. This book looks beautiful. A great giveaway. Sue x

    I have never embroidered before but the pic of the tote sure is inspiring.

    I hate hand stitching but love embroidering. I guess its because embroidery is so much prettier.

    An intermediate-level embroiderer.

  15. Cindy says

    10/01/2013 at 7:09 pm

    I’m going to have to look into that book. I love the designs that you shared from it! I’d have to say I’m still a beginner stitcher. I’ve done a little but not enough to be consistent in quality if you know what I mean.;)

  16. Carol Pack Urban says

    10/01/2013 at 8:16 pm

    What a cool book! I’ve been thinking about getting back into embroidery!

  17. Rhonda says

    10/01/2013 at 8:53 pm

    I’d say I’m in the middle, intermediate! I love the shirt, such beautiful colors!

  18. Kelly Lynn says

    10/01/2013 at 9:06 pm

    I’m pretty middle of the road. Not advanced but far from beginner. 🙂

  19. Sharon K says

    10/01/2013 at 11:57 pm

    I’ve just started practicing with embroidery but I do other needlework like cross stitch and needlepoint.

  20. sweetsueemily says

    What a beautiful embroidery project book. I would consider myself a beginner with a lot of enthusiasm to learn. Thank you for an opportunity to win this awesome book.

  23. Becky says

    Wow — truly beautiful. I have gotten away from hand embroidery and would LOVE this excuse to get back into it. Thanks so much for the opportunity!! bmelahn@zoomtown.com

  27. MinnesotaMary says

    10/02/2013 at 2:28 am

    I used to cross stitch and embroider years and years ago but right now I’d probably put myself as a beginner! I have everything to get going again though!

  28. Brenna says

    10/02/2013 at 3:07 am

    I’m just beginning to learn how to embroider and am very excited. #ns

  29. Megan R says

    10/02/2013 at 3:58 am

    Wow, what an awesome giveaway. I’ve never embroidered, but I am learning to cross stitch, so that’s a start I guess.

  30. mvink says

    10/02/2013 at 4:48 am

    I think I’d be an advanced beginner. I learned in high school and started doing it again a few months ago. I love playing with different stitches 🙂 and colours :-). Awesome giveaway! I love Carina’s stuff! Thanks for the chance!

  31. NorasGranddaughter says

    10/02/2013 at 5:07 am

  34. Mary says

    10/02/2013 at 1:10 pm

    I’m somewhere in the middle. Not so advanced but not a beginner. This looks like a beautiful book!

  35. Phyllis says

    10/02/2013 at 1:21 pm

    Hi. I am in a rut. lots of WIPs but can’t seem to finish anything. haha I think I like starting something ‘new’…
    I still have projects that my mother made while I was growing up; she is my incentive to keep trying.

  36. Sarah says

    10/02/2013 at 6:12 pm

    I learned how to embroider as a little girl, but haven’t done it in like 15 years. So, I’m probably a beginner again, lol. Thanks for the giveaway.

  37. Rachel says

    10/02/2013 at 11:19 pm

    I’ll have to check this out! It looks fantastic. I’ve been on a break, but would love to get back to it. I would say I’m a confident beginner.

  38. jbsews says

    10/03/2013 at 3:34 am

    Advanced beginner:)

  39. AuBien says

    10/03/2013 at 4:36 pm

    I have embroidered but I am not very precise about my stitching … more whimsical. I don’t like the pressure of making perfect stitches but I enjoy a finished piece! This book looks amazing. I would love to win a copy!

  42. Olga Becker @ Kid Approved says

    10/05/2013 at 5:15 pm

    I would love to win. I am probably advanced beginner. I learned a few stitches, but I am certainly not a pro. 🙂

  43. Frøken Fogh says

    10/05/2013 at 7:08 pm

    What a lovely book! I havn’t done much embroidery lately, but between my grandmothers lessons and my education I would have to say that I’m quite experienced.

  44. Deb says

    10/06/2013 at 2:41 am

    I have embroidered most of my life, but I wouldn’t call myself a pro.

  45. mobyknit says

    10/07/2013 at 7:18 pm

    I am a complete beginner. I’d like to become a pro, though!

  46. krisvog says

    10/08/2013 at 2:53 am

    I am a beginning embroderer. My 10 year old daughter has done some and I know she would love his book as uch as I would.

  47. Cindy Gillis says
