I have been very lucky enough to win prizes of both handmade and crafty supplies in previous SMS Days, so this year I'm offering up two prizes! The other one is here.
This is a giveaway for this Union Jack Pillowcase, all made by my fair hands!
It measures 18"x27" which means a bed sized pillow will fit in it.
The giveaway doesn't include the pillow pad!
It's paper pieced, in quilting cottons and the pattern is by Lynne at Lily's Quilts and comes from this months Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine.
➢The giveaway will be open from today (Monday 12th May) until 5pm PST on Friday 16th May 2014 thats the middle of the night for me, so I'll get Mr Random to pick a winner on Saturday 17th May.
➢I WILL post internationally, so you can enter wherever you are in the world.
➢Please, please, please, make sure I have your email if you are a no-reply commenter, I'm not telepathic and really don't have enough time to be chasing around the internet to find a contact email for you.
So, now how to enter, leave me a comment telling me what is your favourite thing to make as a gift. I favour cushions, but I'm sure my family are fed up with them….
As a bonus entry, be a follower (old, new and anyway you like) and let me know in a separate comment telling me how you follow.
And if pink isn't your colour or you just don't want this pillow, you can enter my other giveaway for a copy of the magazine that this pattern came from and a charm pack over here.
I LOVE SMS Day and have found some amazing blogs, followers and prizes from participating in it, so go on have a go and enter lots!!
