I already get Bird Brain Designs newsletter so I don't miss any of their offers! My favourite pattern is Home Sweet Home. I am also a follower of your blog, not sure if that counts for another entry or not. Linda
I like Robin's Leaping Bunny pattern1 and she's got lots of great free patterns!
Thank you for the introduction
I'm a follower!
My favorite stitchery was "All things grow with love." Adorable!
I am a regular follower of your blog. So sorry to hear you both had such serious computer problems -- that is so frustrating!
I'm a follower. I love her stitching site. I never saw those bubbles to store balls of floss before, and they are a good price. Those are neat. I'm definitely keeping a note of this site.
So, my favorite pattern would be the sampler. I'd love to give my try at covering all 18 various stitches.
Scarecrow In Wheelbarrow is a really nice pattern, especially now that we are in a wonderful autumn. Thanks for the link and for the giveaway.
Snow people is my favorite pattern. Thanks!
Thank you Pauline. I love Bird Brain Designs )although why I haven't been a follower or gotten hooked up with the newsletter before now is anyones guess). I did sign up for the newsletter, their blog and have been following yours for awhile. I love any of the Bird Brain Designs - especially if it has any of their snowmen in it. But, I've been coveting the Four Seasons in the Garden pattern for awhile.
