I owe so much to Pinterest and the lovely people who pin my work. I have so many new customers and contacts via Pinterest. I've discovered so many amazing techniques and lovely creations and talented artists. I have been fortunate to have been discovered by many others in return.
I can spend hours on this site. I love to just soak in all of the crafty goodness. It amazes me how many talented artists there are. I am inspired by their out-of-the-box way of patchworking, stitching, felting, photographing and just plain making.I learn so much, not only from the tutorials of the many generous souls who choose to share their crafts with all of us. I also discover what people like and how much they like it. That is an invaluable tool for a Etsy shop like mine.
Now I can't give you Pinterest, but I can offer a glimpse into my favorite Pinterest Pins. Here are my boards.
I am grateful for how Pinterest has changed my life. It never ceases to tickle me when I run across one of my creations. So when I was approached by Homespun Magazine, published in Australia to have my Flying Geese Needle Case in their August-Best Patchwork in their "Best of Pinterest" Pin feature, I was honored and extremely thrilled!
In honor of this auspicious occasion, I am giving away 2 "Stick With Me" pin assortments! Two winners will receive 10 assorted Pins in a Gift Box, just like the pin assortment you will find in my Etsy Shop here.
Look at all these pretty pins! You'll receive 10, already boxed, bowed and ready to give to your favorite sewer to add to your best pincushion or just to keep for yourself.

Congratulations on this wonderful recognition of your talent!!
Miss Kitty Cat and Solo Flight are fun motifs and I really like the shape of the messenger bag.
Btw, your summer pincushion was my intro to you. A friend posted it on my Facebook page a year or so ago. She suggested I make it. I bought your blue cashmere instead.
I have the august edition of homespun and just love All That Brightly Blooms. It is a wonderful edition of the magazine.
I love the redwork done on the 'Kiss Me Tender' kissing ball!
Great accomplishment to have your work in the magazine - congrats!
I love your pins. They have a lot of cute projects but I guess I will pick Miss Kitty Kat!

First Congratulations!! I like the Homespun FB page and like the project Miss Kitty Kat:) Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway:)
I like the True Blue Angels and the IT project. I have a friend who loves trees so that second project would be a great gift.
Jill, you never cease to amaze me with your talent! Congrats on all of your accomplishments and exposure - you deserve it! I'm glad to learn about Homespun as more and more I'm inspired to do more stitching. I love the Pull up a Pew coaster Web Project because years ago my MIL taught me to do the cathedral window quilt design and I've always love it!
I love so many of the projects--but my favourite is "It's the Simple Things...". So sweet!
I liked Homespun Magazine on facebook. The projects are so beautiful. I could list all day, but I really love the " Look to the Lilies". As I was looking I saw the Kiss me Tender – Snowflake. and this would be good also to use as decorations for my Granddaughter's Frozen Birthday Party. Thanks so much for the chance.
I'd like to make the Diva Diner from the homespun magazine web projects
I have been looking for a tutorial like "So sweet hair accessories." The PDF will come in very handy. Thank you!
I love the Go Green Mug Carrier. Might be on my Christmas list.
