I'm A Winner!

 I was thrilled earlier this week when I learned I had won Pat Winter's 600 Follower Giveaway.  She is an amazing crazy-quilter.  I follow her blog, Pat Winter Gatherings, and love to watch her creative stitching (not to mention her and her Mom's beachcombing adventures!).  To a stitching-challenged crafter like me it seems like her fingers must fly!  You can see more of her creative work in her Etsy shop and for those of you who stitch, she publishes a beautiful indie magazine called Crazy Quilt Gatherings.
The bag arrived packaged in a sweet envelope she stitched from pattern tissue and decorated with a tag tied with vintage seam binding.  Beautiful presentation!

Here is a closer shot so you can click it bigger and see the exquisite detail.  The bag measures about 6"x7" and it is embellished with beads, metallic embroidery, charms, ribbon embroidery and flowers.  They all surround a Victorian picture printed on fabric.  The variety of fabrics, laces and embellishments she incorporates make her artwork truly stunning.
Thank you Pat!!
