a needle case, stitched with hand dyed shibori cotton.
with a vintage snowflake button from my grammielowry's sewing box.
and a carolyn friedlander print inside
with wool felt pages for your needles,
inspired by this snowy vermont winter.
and a zippered pouch,
made with fabric gifted to me
by a generous reader from australia
(thank you vicki).
stitched while distressed by the apocalyptic fires
on that dear continent.
there is much to keep track of in the world these days,
but sometimes i sit at my sewing machine and just shut it all out.
here are two little bits that i
put together recently.
to celebrate the 11th anniversary of
sewandsowlife on january 19th
i am hosting a little giveaway.
if you would like a chance at finding these
two tokens of my appreciation in your mailbox,
please leave a comment below or send me an email at

i'll pull a winner on sunday, january 26th and post the results in the evening.

Happy 11th. Anniversary, dear Karen!
ReplyDeleteHowever I am not commenting as often as before, I visit and enjoy your blog still as often as before. Glad I found you that many years ago.
Love and blessings from The Netherlands,

Happy Anniversary! Would love a chance to win. I love reading your blog and appreciate the time and effort it takes to put it together!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog's 11th anniversary! Your thoughts from your little bit of Earth are always a breath of fresh air and I love your photos of Vermont's beloved landscape. And kitty photos, really like the glimpses of Wilma and Corazon.
ReplyDeleteHow often in these 11 years the soft breath of your spirit has kept our weakening embers from going out. How sweet that it was Anne who brought us together! Congratulations and thank you, Karen, for your strength and faith. We are all better for knowing you.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon. It has honestly made my day seeing the zippered pouch, I'm so glad you have been able to use the fabric.I would also like to add my congratulations to you on the anniversary of your blog, and as a previous winner, the usefulness and beauty of your gorgeous needle book.
