First Friday Freebie # 14 and Fall Into Fall Giveaway!

If you guessed that this month’s First Friday Freebie would have a Halloween theme, you would be right!  What better month than October to have a Halloween project to work on?

October’s FFF is called “Ode to Halloween”.

It’s a wall hanging that measures 14 1/2” x 13” and it works up relatively quickly.  I did mine in wool-on-cotton but the wool appliquéd elements could be stitched just as easily or cotton could be substituted for the wool as an option.

The PDF file which includes the photo, line drawings and instructions may be downloaded HERE. 

If you have any photos of finished projects of my designs that you’d like to share with everyone, please feel free to upload them on the Flickr Gallery page that I created just for this purpose.  You can link directly to it by clicking on the FFF logo on the left sidebar.  We’d all love to see them!

And now for the Fall into Fall giveaway.

I`m sure that you’ve seen this button all over blogland in the last little while.

Debi is coordinating this blog hop giveaway.   Over 150 bloggers including myself are participating in this giveaway.  How it works is that each participating blog is offering a giveaway and you are invited to enter as many different ones as you like.   Take your time because you’ll have two weeks to visit all the blogs.  Each blog will be offering a ‘prize’ of their own choosing and will set their own giveaway rules.  For your convenience, Debi has compiled a complete list of blogs with links to each one which you may access HERE. 

The Fall into Fall giveaway starts today, October 1st and will run until October 15th when each blog will declare their winners.

What I’ll be giving away is my sample of this month’s First Friday Freebie, ‘Ode to Halloween’ to one of my faithful followers.  I said a while back that I would like to acknowledge you and now is the time.

You must be a follower of my blog to qualify for this giveaway.

New followers are welcome to enter as well.

If you are one of my followers and would like to win this one-of-a-kind original, signed and dated Halloween wall hanging,  here’s what you have to do. 

Leave a comment on this post telling me so.  On the 15th of October, I will announce the winner who will have until midnight Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the 15th to contact me by email with their mailing address.  Plain and simple and easy-peasy.  A great many of you are set as ‘no-reply’ bloggers so I figured that perhaps I’d try it this way.

In the interim, enjoy making your own and if you win mine, then you’ll have two…one to keep and one to give away.  *wink*

Good luck and have fun.  And as always…

Happy stitching!
