March Giveaway

I finally took some time to put together my giveaway for March.
I also loaded up a few items in my Etsy shop. Take a peek if you have a moment - there are a few antiques and a few handmades.
You can find a link to my Etsy shop on the left.
This month's giveaway is a little sewing vignette. The pincushion is made by me with a reproduction coverlet fabric, two antique abalone buttons and a little patch of early brown calico. I'm also including a vintage paper measuring tape, two wooden spools of thread, a vintage thread wheel, an antique brass skeleton key and a smattering of antique mother of pearl buttons.
I wanted to make a word pillow for Easter and was looking for a religious word that isn't too long. Any ideas? Let me know and enter this giveaway at the same time :) Either leave a comment on this post or send an email to me at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com with Easter Word in the subject line. I will pick a winner using a random number generator Friday night.
Blessings, Patti

Hi Patti,
I am a newer follower of your blog and just love your work.
I'd love the chance at winning one of your gorgeous pieces.

What a precious little giveaway, Patti....I love old sewing collectibles - and your vignette is adorable. Ahhh...the word that comes to mind for me is also "Risen"....or, "Alleluia" - but that isn't short. An alternative to "Risen," if you don't mind two words, would be "He Lives".....Can't wait to see your piece and what you choose! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

TheCrankyCrow said...

PS - I absolutely ADORE that cookie cutter in your header....Wow, wow, wow!! :o) (Do let me know if you ever decide to part with it!) ;o) Robin

Oh what a lovely giveaway! please include me.
A suitable word might be a short phrase 'He Arose' I love the sense of victory that it conveys through Christ's finished work!
Blessings

What wonderful giveaway items! Just beautiful. I think Risen is a good word...but I always think lilies when I think of Easter because there were so many lily plants on the alter during the Easter service.
Hugs,
Courtney

How pretty! I'd love to be entered in the giveaway.
I think a religious word like "REJOICE" or "RISEN" would be nice.
Blessings

Wow, what a fantastic giveaway. I suggest the word LIVE. God gave is only son to die on the cross so that we would have eternal life.

moosecraft said...

Oooooh I LOVE the coverlet pinkeep! Funny you should ask about the Easter word one... I just finished "Primitive Easter Pinkeep" by Country Rustic Primitives... I substituted a cross for the key... it's posted on my blog if you want to take a peek... Of course... If you were looing to design your own... I would suggest Risen, Lenten, Rebirth, Holy

Jennie Lynn @ Appleseed Prim said...

I would love to be entered into your giveaway. I've been designing a sampler with a little girl's name Hosanna. A lovely name and also a religious term. "Joyful" -- perfect for this time of year I think.

sue said...

My word suggestion is "Blessings".
Your spring vignette is lovely. Love the coverlet fabric along with the antique smalls.

What a wonderful giveaway Patti. You're work is always so lovely.

As for a short religious word...maybe just EASTER or LAMB or REJOICE.

Take care!

Valerie :-)

Heartsdesire said...

What a wonderful giveaway. Your little pillow is so sweet. I would suggest Mercy or Rejoice. Hallelujah would be another suggestion, but it might be too long.

Thistle House Primitives said...

The word "Peace" came to mind.
Love the little pin cushion!
Terri

Kathy L. said...

My pastor always "hides" the word Halleluia during lent and brings it out for Easter. That might be a good one!

Love the pillow so much. Please enter me in the give-a-way.

You are very talented lady!!!

Kathy

Thanks, Charlotte S.

Hello Patti,
I have been admiring your beautiful works, and watching the progress on your "Maggie" bed-cover. Everything is lovely as usual. Your little pinny is my favorite of your recent offerings. I'd love to be entered in the giveaway. :) I have always thought that "Grace" is possibly the most beautiful word in the English language...so that is my suggestion. I hope to see you in June at Country Sampler...any chance of that?
Blessings to you,
Rhonda
