Give a Hoot Pattern Giveaway

&Stitches give aways



A little while ago we featured this adorable owl on our blog and now Jenelle of Echinops & Aster has made an incredibly cute cushion pattern based on her original stitched piece! The 16 page pattern is called Have A Hoot and includes instructions for both the embroidery and the pillow, as well as further stitch suggestions.


We are giving away one of Jenelle's Have A Hoot PDF patterns to a lucky reader! Leave a comment on this post before Monday the 6th of August 12.00 AM (Central European Time) and be sure to leave your email address or some other way we can contact you!

Please tell us in the comments what you think would be a fun theme for an upcoming issue of &Stitches! So far we've had the following themes: Colour, Books and Oriental Inspirations.

And if you can't wait to get your hands on this lovely Have a Hoot pattern, why not visit Jenelle's shop here.

Good luck everyone!

  3. I would love to see a theme of "Combinations"- something along the lines of combining different patterns, or different yarn types, or different techniques or different styles!

    And, that owl is totally adorable! And, while the thought of a patchwork quilts gives me nightmares, I could certainly handle a pillow. Thanks for the chance to win the pattern!

  29. Ah! I love Jenelle's pattern! I would really like to own it, please and thank you! :)

    Let's see... What about Sailor Jerry? You could do old-fashioned tattoo inspired stitching with pin ups and WWII insignia. Could be fun.
