Lots of NEWS Participants!

I sent out the cross stitch newsletter the other day and got a ton of responses- too many to count. It didn't overload my inbox but probably came close! I was curious as to how many people actually read the newsletter and I was nicely surprised! SO, I have a LOT of free charts to send out. As promised, everyone who responded with their address and the word NEWS in the subject will get a free chart in the mail next week. Thanks for reading it and Merry Christmas!

NEW Weekly Drawing!

Want something fun to do? Starting today, we are going to have a Weekly Drawing through this Blog. Each week will offer something different such as cross stitch charts, quilt patterns, supplies and even finished products like quilts and cross stitch. Each week I'll post on the Blog about what's being offered. All entries must be made by midnight each Saturday night. Drawings will be made each Sunday. Sound easy?

This week, I'm offering a Pre-finished Check Book Cover for use with your cross stitch,
punchneedle, stitchery & wool applique designs. Designs can
be attached permanently or temporarily to change out often.
It has two pockets inside for checkbook and register. A Cross stitch chart for the design shown is included. The best part, the winner gets to choose your own color from 8 choices.

Email me before Saturday midnight at PGPeddler@aol.com. Send your name, address and email address and put in the subject line "Check Book Cover" to be entered in the drawing. I will post the winner next Sunday. Part of the rules, the email must be sent direct to us. Sorry, emails with FW: in front are not considered. Entries without all three- name, address and email address are also not considered. As a winner, if you prefer not to have your complete name posted, just let us know. Some do, some don't.
Thanks, and good luck!

Scavenger Hunt Under Way

The Scavenger Hunt is well under way. I have gotten so many nice emails from everyone saying how much fun it is. I'm thinking it's going to be an annual thing! Thanks to everyone who is playing. Remember to get your answers to me before Friday. I'll post the first names of the winners of Week 1 here on Friday morning.

New Day, New Chart

It's a wonderful day today. The kids came over for Sunday dinner after church. Grace got to eat ice cream with papa and take a tractor ride, something she will not go home without anymore. The cows were just moved to the pasture in back so she got to see them up close.

I just got my latest cross stitch design framed and photographed. It's called Scarecrow in the Field. It will go on the website and to Hoffman Distributors next week.

The Scavenger Hunt starts tomorrow so if you haven't already signed up on the newsletter, you better hurry. There's going to be 144 cross stitch charts and quilt patterns won in the next four weeks. We'd love to have you join us.

Busy Night, Busy Week

I can't believe it's Thursday already. The week has flown. I have been designing some new things this week and when I get busy, everything else suffers. I have a new cross stitch design ready that needs to be framed and photographed. I hope to post a sneak preview here this weekend.

I have everything ready for the Scavenger Hunt that starts Monday. It's our first and I think it will be a fun time. If you haven't already joined the mailing list, it's on the website. We will have 24 winners in 4 weeks, with each person winning 6 quilt patterns or cross stitch charts.

Complimentary Cross Stitch Chart

I just added a Complimentary Cross Stitch chart to the website. It is a needle roll designed by Taffy Soderholm, who stitches a lot of my designs for me. She is very generous to share it with everyone. Go to www.prairiegrovepeddler.com to download it.

I am sending a newsletter tomorrow with details of the Scavenger Hunt that's coming up. If you're not already signed up, go to the website and sign up on the bottom of the Home page for the Quilt Newsletter. The Cross Stitch Newsletter is on the bottom of the Cross Stitch page. There will be six winners each week in August.
