Hello! It's September already! And time for the first ever homestitchness giveaway!

First Prize: 
This will be a pattern of the winner's choice AND I will even kit it up for you with all the threads you'll need, plus either the linen (same as the model was stitched on) or a comparable colour of aida, if you prefer to stitch on aida.

This will be a pattern of the second prize winner's choice.

Red Star Buttons!

Four Seasons in New Zealand by homestitchness
Four Seasons in New Zealand
This time last year, I was busily working towards getting everything ready for the homestitchness launch in March/April 2013. As the models were being photographed and I was proofing the patterns before printing, I was searching the internet for a bulk supplier of tiny, red star buttons to include with the Four Seasons in New Zealand chart. On this design, I had originally stitched four red star buttons onto the NZ flag and they added such character to the overall look of the design that I just HAD to include some with the chart. I was one very happy girl the day my button order arrived in the mail and I relished the task of counting every last one of them. Yes, I did - twice, even!



How to Enter:
All you need to do to be in to win the first prize is to take a guess as to how many red star buttons were in my order. The person who makes the closest guess will win first prize. If, in the unlikely event of more than one person guessing the exact number, the correct guesses will be put into a basket and a winner drawn. 

Second prize will be drawn from the names of everyone who shares this giveaway on either their blog or facebook page - one entry per share, so that's up to two extra entries (just in case you're not confident in your guessing ability :o)

Come back after you've shared this giveaway and leave a separate comment for each share on your blog and/or facebook page.
