Prominent, Pleasing Penny

Penny America, that is. This is one of my very favorite charts to come out of the most recent needlework Market. Designed by Tree of Life Samplings, I loved it the minute I saw it.



I am a patriot and this design combined a love of country with the down-homey life of yesteryear. As a matter of fact, I pre-ordered this chart for the shop and when I saw it hit the distributor list, I ordered it AGAIN. That's how much I love this design! I know many of you are already stitching this design, but we also have some awesome fabric I'd like to show you if you haven't already settled on a linen or evenweave.

To celebrate the upcoming holiday, I am going to give away three of the plentiful Penny America charts. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post. The deadline is midnight Monday night.


Tuesday morning when I get to the shop, I'll take three random comments and post the names of the winners. Please leave an email address so I know how to contact you. I will ship anywhere, so you all have a chance to win.

Have a grand weekend! Happy Labor Day! May your needle be inspired and filled with many restful hours of stitching!

Cathy

    What a nice chart! I have a soft spot in my heart for anything with our flag and freedom. But most of all America. Such a nice idea Kathy! Three lucky people will be getting one. I hope you have a lot of them in stock!!! I think we'll all be in to buy one.

    Hi Cathy - I'd love to stitch this chart. It's been calling my name too, but I haven't purchased it yet. One of these days I'd like to get down your way and visit your shop too. You have a great bunch of customers - I enjoy reading about their purchases and stitching projects! Have a nice weekend!
