I am so excited to see the 25th follower on my blog and it
is time to announce the give-away. The winner of the give-away will receive a
pattern book by Nirmala C. Mistry titled "Embroidery Designs: Flowers and
Butterflies." Here is a glimpse of the book.
Front cover:
Back cover:
The book has 120 pages. There are lots and lots of lovely
flower and butterfly designs. All the flower designs are big, full-page
designs. Butterflies range from small to big.
This book also contains colored plates of some patterns
present in this book, a Tools and Materials section, and a glossary of
stitches.
The patterns range from simple to intricate. You can
embroider these motifs on anything from hankies to wall-hangings to tunics to
saris. You can use them for fabric painting as well.
How to participate in this give-away?
You need to answer this question: Which type of needlework is your favorite? For example, is it long and short shading, Brazilian embroidery, applique work or any other type of embroidery. Please provide your answer in the comments
section.
If you wish to appear "anonymous" then please provide
your name under your answer. Simple isn't it?
The give-away will end at 9 am EST on 9 December 2011 which is a special day for me. We are celebrating my daughter Dhanya's birthday on 9th December.
Are you all ready? Hope you would love to grab this book. I was so happy when my first give-away winner Anwesha e-mailed me (in March) that she received the book in good condition. And I would be happy again to send this book to the next lucky person who can be any one from you.

my favorite is long and short and chemanthi work..:)..count me Flora...i love designs by Nirmal C. Mistry..
Hi Flora,
Thank u soo much for this contest.
As iam a beginner in this wonderful world of hand embroidery, i knew little about embroidery types,till now i only mind the stitches but now your question made me do a research on embroidery origins.
I love surface Embroidery or Freestyle hand embroidery most, because, it is not restricted to any fabric, pattern or thread. Embroider's can work on her creativity. My favorite stitches r stem stitch, button hole stitch, french knots etc.
Happiness always,
Raji.
I am a real beginner at needlework and I only have experience in Applique and mostly on kids clothing.
What a lovely book.
I forgot to include my email address:-) so count this as one comment,

Hi Flora, Thank you for stopping by my blog & leaving a comment on my crocheted star. Not sure which is my favourite type of embroidery. I love hardanger & canvaswork, blackwork & cross-stitch & brazilian embroidery & crewelwork. Rather hard to choose which one I like the most. I'll pick hardanger as that was the first kind of stitching I learned how to do. Thanks for the give away :)
