The Whole Shebang Giveaway


Well here it is folks - a giveaway for the whole shebang from my two trips:
The Stitchery Nook Osage, Iowa - JCS Ornament issue and snail tape measure
Milkhouse Creamery Osage, Iowa - Turning Leaves candle
Country Threads Garner, Iowa - "Back to Charm School", Goat Gazette cookbook, Goat Gazette Recipes, notecards, seeds, pencils
Ewe and Eye Osage, Iowa - roll of wools
Antique Shop Saint Ansgar, Iowa - antique buttons
Antique Shop  Dyersville, Iowa - antique keys
JJ Stitches Sun Prairie, Wisconsin - vintage trim
Country Sampler Spring Green, Wisconsin - ribbon and wools


Here is a close up of some of the smaller items.

Like all of my giveaways - it is open to everyone. Unfortunately I do need to limit this to shipping within the U.S. due to the weight.(I am so sorry to exclude those outside the U.S. this time.)
I do have one question for you to answer - What is your favorite Needlework Retreat? And if you haven't attended one, what needlework retreat is on your bucket list?
To enter, simply comment on this post. If you are not a blogger, send me an email to pgagliardi9@hotmail.com with "Shebang Giveaway" in the subject.
If you are a follower, let me know and you will have two entries.

Thank you so much for joining me on my trips. It has been so much fun to relive it on this blog.
I will pick a winner on Saturday.

"The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being,sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."
~Hebrews 1:3

Good Luck!
Blessings, Patti

PATTI!!! What a fabulous giveaway, and oh,how I have loved your travelog, thank you so very much for sharing.

I am a follower. My best friend lives in Osage, Iowa and I've always wanted to go visit her and that sweet town of hers, but it is so far away. I am so jealous that you've been to so many shops there, ha. LOVE when you post about your trips!

I've never been on a retreat, but would love to go to the Pals one in Myrtle Beach or the Shepherd's Bush one sounds great too!

Would love to be entered. thanks so much!

I am a follower of your blog and it is one of my favorites. I love seeing all of your creations and how you alter a design to make it your own, that is something I so wish I could do. I have never gone on a retreat, but the Country Sampler would definitely be on my bucket list. It is one of my favorite stores. Your giveaway looks awesome!

Carmen Sutton said...

What a lovely box of goodies you have collected thanks for sharing with your readers. I think the retreat that I would like to go to would be primitives of the midwest. One Day

what a wonderful and generous giveaway! I have not attended any needlework retreats .. but do attend fiber conferences that offer classes, etc.

My friends and I have attended quilt retreats at the Country Sampler apartment in WI, Patsy's Homestead Retreat in WI twice, and "the nunnery" in CA. Next fall, we will be going to Mary Koval's retreat in New Bedford, PA. Our retreats do not involve classes but are a chance for the 3 of us to get together since we now live in 3 different areas of the country.

I have been following your blog for the past several years and enjoy your posts. Thanks for a chance to win your generous give away.

I'm a follower and love your blog. In the past a group, 7 of us girls have been on several needlework retreats. But now we meet in Ky. Lake Village for a week in March, rent a cabin and do our own thing or finish up projects and bring projects for each other. Then in June we meet in Indianapolis and do it again. Nancy P.

Cathy said...

I started following your blog a while back and have enjoyed it ever since. I love to see your needlework projects and the retreats and trips you took looked like so much fun! I would love to take a class from Blackbird Designs. I love the Hexie pincushion you made. So much fun! Thanks for having a giveaway!

Oh my goodness Patti - what a great giveaway - that's just an awesome pile of wonderfullness. I've never been to a needlework retreat - and honestly on my bucket list to go sometime are the ones at Country Sampler. I LOVE that store and have stayed at the retreat place - awesome - the whole place just buzzes with inspiration. Someday :)
Hugs - Karen

Working with wool is just so comforting. I love it. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway. Love to read your blog.

Lauralee @ The Eclectic Stitcher said...

Oh, my goodness, what a wonderful, generous, giveaway! I've been a follower for quite some time and I absolutely love your postings.

I've never been to a stitching retreat, but if I had just one to go to, it would probably be anything offered by Country Sampler. Where I live, I have no needlework store close, no quilt store close, and definitely no place to buy wool :(

Hoping you had a lovely Thanksgiving and will have a blessed Christmas!

Nancy in MT said...

I think a retreat with Maggie B. would be awesome. You definately have her style. Your give away is very generous duing this busy time of year.

Hi Patti...thanks for the chance at a great giveaway from another follower...I would love to go to a retreat by The Woolen Willow...there is one coming up in the Spring that looks perfect for me...for quilters and rug hookers!

Barb said...

Been to many retreats, never Country Sampler though. And your trip there sounds like fun. I have such creative friends, any time with them is a retreat. Thanks for sharing.

Jan said...

Only been to one retreat and it is a rug hooking retreat from our local guild. I would love to go to a wool stitching or primitive cross stitch one. Glad you had a great time!
