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

    I don't even know where you would go for a needle work retreat. I get most of my information from blogs and books. A retreat sure sounds like fun thou.

    PATTI!!! What a fabulous giveaway, and oh,how I have loved your travelog, thank you so very much for sharing. My very favorite retreat/event, haven't really been on too many, but have been twice to Boxwood & Berries at Country Sampler, and think it would be hard to beat. Thank you, Patti, and best wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas!

    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!

    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.

    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!
