During the past few weeks I have won 2 blog giveaways. I seem to be on a roll. I was very excited to win
Nat's giveaway of a beautiful sashiko bag and a gorgeous book on kimonos. And then I won a lovely stitchery from
Emmy's blog. I haven't received the stitchery yet but I am so excited to be able to have one of Emmy's pieces. She does such beautiful work.

I've been working away on the embroidery cloth with all the new techniques I'm learning in
Karen Ruane's class. Here are just a few photos of the last few things I've stitched.

I loved seeing your name pop up on Nat's blog as the winner. It always is nice when someone you know wins. Your work from Karen's class is so beautiful and the Chinese knots are fabulous! Wishing you a beautiful day.
As alway, I am so impressed and enamored of your wonderful stitchery, its sheer witchery dear Deanna.
Lucky you, well done! I'm loving your cloth from Karen's class. Wonderful chinese knots!
lucky you, Nat is very generous with her giveaways.
you have done some very delicate work there, quite exquisite.
HA lucky you !!!
(three times in a row perhaps ???)
These chinese knots are beautiful, Deanna!
Enjoy your wins. It was lovely a friend won my giveaway! Great projects of stitchery there Deanna. I want to take one of Karen's workshop too - Hugs Nat
oh, i'm so glad luck is finding you. i've been feeling lucky lately, too. no visible prizes, but great just the same.
The other day I found a bag full of my mothers scarves, gloves and a sari! It was a treasure chest. I could still smell my mother in the scarves.
well done on the winning!!!
I like it when I know the winner of a giveaway, too, it sort of feels like I won!
The piece with your mother's things is so pretty and inspiring, once again. Thank you, Deanna. And I consider you an artist, I've been meaning to tell you.
(If this message comes through twice, just delete one, I've been having trouble leaving comments on blogs lately!)
thank you all. I am so grateful to have you all as visitors.
