A Freebie!

I thought it might be nice to share the felty love a little by having a monthly giveaway :)

As I've been spending the past few days making up packs of felt squares my very first freebie is a bundle of yummy felt!

The winner will get a pack of 10 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) felt squares in their favourite choice of colours. You can choose from...

Soft Pastels:Bright Mix:Natural Tones:Pinks and Purples:Or Blues and Greens:
I'm happy to ship internationally, so anyone can enter - just leave a comment before midnight BST on Saturday 25th April on this post saying which colour pack you'd like and I'll pick a winner at random on Sunday (26th April).

EDIT: this giveaway is now closed! Thanks for all your comments :)

Blues and Greens!!! So cute!

Anonymous said...

Oh it's hard to choose, if I won it'd be a toss up between the brights and naturals . . . naturals no brights I think

marceline said...

so pretty! I have been hankering after the soft pastels for a while but can't really justify buying more felt :)

Tumus said...

Pastels for me please ^_^ Nice offer btw :)

Fércművek said...

I fell in love with felt mostly because of you. I would like to have the soft pastel one if I'm the lucky one as we don't have them in Hungary! (But it's very difficult to choose. :) ) They would make perfect rabbits and bears for spring.
Thanks for the opportunity!!

Allison said...

Thanks for the giveaway! I love the brights.

suzewearsshoes said...

Oh so hard to choose! There are so many gorgeous things that could be made with all of them. I think I would go for the pastels, since it's sunny and springlike in England right now which demands pretty pastel shades :)

This is my first comment left on a blog ever - very exciting. I check your blog each day from my desk here in Brisbane, Australia and hope to buy one of your birdies for my mother-in-law who is an avid bird watcher and very unwell at the moment. We will be in the UK next week visiting her so I will try and buy one online then. Congratulations on such beautiful craftie goodness. Chrissy G
