Okay on to the "business" part of the post and then some fun show-n-tell.
Today's prize up for grabs includes 4 Freda's Hive patterns and a kit to make a bag. The patterns are original designs. Three are for quilts. I figure if you don't make quilts or make bags, these might be a good gift for someone on your list, if you win this prize.
Here is the pattern to make the bag included with the kit.
In honor of the black and white challenge sponsored by Jackie, I had my black and white fabrics pulled so I made a black and white bag kit with a little bit of color thrown in. It is a fun mix of fabrics with some vintage, Japanese novelty and some just plain fun prints from my stash.
The bag will look like this when it is done - except of course it will be black and white. The covered button and rick rack are included. You will have to furnish lining fabric and interfacing. This bag has been my most successful pattern and I have made dozens of them myself.
Now for the show-n-tell:
The fabulous Eileen at Eileen's Attic sent me a package last week. Part of it I left wrapped and put under my Christmas tree. I have a feeling it is vintage fabric but I don't want to spoil my own surprise! There was this sweet little basket/pouch/bag included made with the most wonderful vintage fabric and vintage button. I'm a vintage girl at heart and Eileen knows what I like!
And inside were these darling ornaments. Two turtle doves, three cute owls, and I hung them immediately on my tree! (you could almost sing to that) Eileen's work is impeccable. She is meticulous and everything is done so well. The fabric she used is vintage and absolutely wonderful. Look at the little tiny cups and saucers on the breast of the turtle doves. I love the textured fabric she used on the V of the owls and the tiny tiny yo yos for the whites of the eyes. Go ahead, click the picture. It is worth it. Can you see the little tiny bells she used for feet??? So clever. You can see in my blog header they are on my tree. But these ornaments will not go into the closet when Christmas comes down. They will go in my sewing room along with Terri's angel. I'll find a cute spot to display them. Thank you Eileen. You are a dear friend.
Stephanie of Loft Creations is also a dear friend. She knows me well judging from the package of fun that arrived yesterday. It was packaged so sweetly I hated (almost) to open it up.
Inside the tissue paper was the softest, cute pillow case. Stephanie is famous for her pillow cases, among other creations. I am a kitchen fabric/teapot/dishes lover. And the pillow case suits me perfectly. The first thing I did was have my daughter run up to my room to grab my pillow to put inside. So so soft.
And then the rest of the goodies - yummy candy from Ohio (might cause trouble in my house because of it saying Ohio State Buckeyes so I'll have to eat it myself!), Mary Englebreit soap, and hot chocolate mix. Truly a custom picked package for me.
I don't know how Stephanie knew that I love Verbena/lemon. It is my absolute favorite scent. I look for lemon scented everything. And the top has this cute gingerbread teapot. Don't you just love ME items. I will save the box most definitely. The last item made me smile and appreciate Stephanie all the more. It is a little thing, but it means a lot to me. A while ago I mentioned to Stephanie my love of teapots but I told her I don't drink tea. I also told her I love hot chocolate. And of course she remembered. Now that is a friend. Thank you Stephanie.
Both of these great girls are very special women. The best part of blogging is getting to know people all over the world that share my interests. I would never get to make these friendships without Freda's Hive.
Thanks to everyone for playing along with my little blog anniversary this week. See ya tomorrow!

What cute gifts you received. I just love owl ornaments. They are so cute.
I'm going to try and get here a little faster today!
Yes.. Stephine has an incredible knack for picking gifts.. doesn't she? It is like she knows all our little passions!
That black and white kit for the bag is a good idea. :-)
And I'm glad you liked your little bag. The fabrics just screamed your name.
It is so fun to read about all the goodness that comes from blogging! It just makes my day! And everytime I see one of Stephanie's pillowcases...I think, "Now THAT one is the cutest...but there are always more that are cute!" Have a terrific day!
eileen and stephanie are true treasures...as are you...=)
Those are some fun gifts you're showing off!
The bag is really cute. The kit colors are perfect. I love black and white with a color thrown in.
Those owls are to die for. I love the bag pattern. What a great idea to use black and white. Should we comment every day? Your friends are the best.
You are so right, blogging is wonderful when you meet people like Eileen and Stephanie. They are truly sweethearts. Second I have to say When I first looked at the picture of the bag kit, without the caption, it was screaming to me Black and White Challenge!! Then low and behold you mentioned it, yay and thank you! You are a peach!! Your week long party has been fun and I am looking forward to tomorrow.
I love it all! Your patterns are so neat! You should be really proud. Your bag is one of the best I've seen. Enjoy your goodies from friends!

Really generous!
Good luck to me :)
Terrific packages - love those little owls. I really like that bag!
Great little ornaments for your tree. I'm enjoying your giveaway week!

OM Goodness, I looked up and saw your sidebar and saw the name "My mother in law is a troll" roflmao!! Enjoy your day...
Wow! What a lot of "eye candy" so early (for me) in the morning. I should probably get some coffee before reading your blog. Love it all. The owls are just too cute. Made me think of my grandmother-she used to collect owls. Left a few partially unfinished needlework owls I've got around here somewhere....
It just gets better and better! Count me in.
It's all so beautiful!! The owl is great. Love the teapot. 2 things I collect, teapot and gingerbread men. The bag!!! I want it. It's fabulous!
I can only imagine what "voice" you would give me. LOL! You have some pretty cool bloggy friends, Nanette; that's how I feel about Freda's Hive.
Such good friends! What cool gifts!
Ooops, I think I commented on yesterdays post today...where did yesterday go? I friend whisked me away to go shopping and we both had a well deserved day away. So, sorry about that. But, I'm here today and I love your purse pattern. What fun! Have a great day!
What wonderful friends you have - what scrumptious packages. This is super fun. Thanks
LOVE the patterns for today's giveaway. I missed out on the other days, but I'm keeping watch now. This is such a cute idea and so very sweet of you. Great little giftie in the mail for you - don't ya just love mail, LOL.
Hugs - karen
I love your blog and everything that you make, so I would love to win your patterns!
Blog friends are the greatest! They are always there when you need them and they never forget! You are so lucky.
Thanks again!
I love the patterns & kit! Please add me to the drawing! Those owls are so cute!
That is an awesome giveaway...patterns. Your patterns are lovely! And the bag is so fun. I just finished one in black and white and its a new favorite theme for me now.
Oh Oh Oh, I really WANT the bag kit...(my hand is raising wildly above my head)...I know I shouldn't say that out loud and I should first say how cute your gifts are...but I can't help it!
Hugs!!
I love those cute little owls and so beautifully stitched. How sweet it would be to be the lucky owner of a few of your patterns...... Stephanie sure is a sweetie.
You always have suck cute stuff! I love your blog!
OK Nanette, you better pull my name out of your magical hat - I want to win this one! I love your patterns. And I love black and white - this bag would be so cute on my arm at church!!
I am in love with those owl ornaments! It seems that owls are going to be the next big thing -- I'm seeing them everywhere. Reminds me of my grandmother, they were a favorite of hers.
Day 4!! So far I have caught them all. :) Love the owls, i wonder if there is a tutorial on the web for those...
Cheers!
Rachel

Wow, this one is a good one! I bet those fabrics will make a cute bag!! And what fun things you received!
Nanette, lovely prezzies. enjoy them. They are well deserved.
I would love to make my daughter that bag. I joined the black and white challenge because my daughter wants a black and white quilt for college. What better than a black and white handbag for her to carry around.
I so agree with you, they are two very special ladies, you are so lucky to call them friends. Have a wonderful day! Hugs
What lovely gifts you receive! And today I'm going to be making some of the teatowels you demo'd yesterday. I had to run right out and find some white flour sack towels, and even ordered more from "The Towel Place". I think those could be addicting!
I would be happy to be the winner of any of the 3 patterns or the bag kit. The sweet little basket/pouch/bag is just adorable.
Great gift! I still hoping that I can be part of this wonderful giveaway, since I live so far away...
You are so blessed! Would love to make that b/w bag :)
Oh, you poor, poor dear, you've finally lost your mind. Are you nuts??? All those comments to weed through at this, the busies time of the year LOL ????
Luckily for you, I've been swamped, so that meant three less comments for you to weed through! ;-)
what a fabulous and generous prize package!!! I'd love to have my name thrown into that hat. I have to agree with Thimbleanna, how you are managing to do all these giveaways at this time of the year is beyond me. I'm barely keeping my head above water!
I already love your bag pattern and the black and white is gorgeous. I would soooooo love to win.
Your blog is great and always beautiful.
What fabulous goodies you got in the mail!! The little owls are wonderful as is the teapot -- as is everything!
Your patterns -- oh, how I'd love to win those and the kit to make the bag!! :-)
I can't believe you have readers that don't have their email addresses attached! :) That NEVER happens with my readers.
I love your patterns. What a great treat!
Those patterns are awesome! What a great package! You also received a lovely package. I love your ME item.:)
The patterns are amazing!! I love that bag too.
I love the bag pattern. I looked at it last night on etsy.
I hope I win it!
dy
Black and white fabric and a bag pattern. Ohhh, this is just awesome. The prize a day offering is so much fun. Thank you!
I'm back again! Nice prize package. I really liked seeing the purse up close; I don't think I've noticed it before outside of the pattern. I have a snuggly pillowcase, too, from Stephanie. That was a real surprise. Looking forward to tomorrow's post.

Hi Nanette I found your blog from Nan at Pots and Pins. I think I must subscribe to your blog it looks wonderful.
Thank you for the chance to win. Hope you have a wonderful day and TFS.
Debbie/Phx AZ
I never learned how to sew or do much of anything crafty, but the past couple of months I have had a hankering to learn. I recently purchased my first sewing machine, so I was googling information about sewing, quilting, crafting, etc, and I came across your beautiful art. You have now been added to my google reader, and hopefully, with time, I will be able to attempt some of your patterns!
Freda's Hiving for today. My you have got some nice gifts recently. And the gifts you are offering are most wonderful.
Hi Nanette,
I am in again, I love your patterns!
Those are some cute gifts you got there. I love those tiny owls...
Wow, Nanette, I love the bag! I joined the Black and White quilt Challenge. Seems like so much fun and a way to get my quilt made.
So nice, what you showed us. I love the little owles. Saw them in a Christmas tree somewhere on a blog. And ... I LOVE the ME tea pot. Gorgeous! Unfortunately they don't sell ME in the Netherlands. Enjoy all your beautiful things (O:

Aren't Eileen's out the cutest? They just make me smile. I won't be packing mine away either. Oooo the black and white fabrics for your bag are gorgeous!!!

Those owls and birds are so cute! Blog friends are wonderful. How nice to have others to share your passions with. I just started making cottage blocks. I Love Them!

It is very obvious what a special gal you are...so I'm not surprised your quilty friends would gift you with such nice things!!
And...wow...what a prize package you have posted today. So...here I am with comment #3 (missed day #1). I'm remembering to "Freda Hive" every day now!!! :) (Come to my blog sometime, okay? It's not nearly as great as yours, but I like to have visitors there...especially since I've only been blogging a couple of weeks.
Waving HELLO and a big anniversary hug. I am a new blogger, but LOVE it!!! XXX Annelies
I just rose up off my sick-bed to check out day four at Freda's Hive. Does the fact that I'm sick win me any extra sympathy votes? Figured it couldn't hurt to ask. :)
Would LOVE those patterns and black and white bag! :
I'm a quilter so I would very much like to win this one. But yesterdays towels are adoreable. . .Lovie
May I have my calendar marked? Hi Nanette,
And you design patterns too! I just love the bag. I am thoroughly enjoying popping in each day, hope you have a good one.
Some very special blog friends, indeed!! I saw your baby quilt today on the newsstand. I mean the magazine with your baby quilt in it! Congrats.
Your friends have been good to you, just as you deserve. That teapot fabric is awesome. I don't think I've wished you happy anniversary yet - but happy anniversary! Barbara
I read your post earlier and was going to post then got distracted so don't think I did. I'm in love with your pillowcase. What sweet fabric!! You are one lucky blogging elf!!

Very fun and diverse. Looks like you're having a great anniversary week.
Great-looking gifts!
I love the bag! I started making bags last month and am hooked.
I love the bag! I started making bags last month and am hooked.
I think you are so generous! I love the black and white kit. I've made a couple B/W quilts that I like- the large one was a round robin in our group, and I made a baby quilt from my scraps.
Hi Nanette, by the time I get over here at night, my goodness I'm down the list. Please put my name in, love the black and white colors you've picked.
Friendship is a blessing,
Bonnie
Darling owls!! Is there a pattern/tutorial??
You are so great Nanette, I hope you are allowing yourself to soak in all this bloggy love!!
Nanette,
What a great idea! Ok. If I could have my wish of wishes, I would love the "Dress" Quilt Pattern and that Purse Pattern. That's if Santa is listening! He-he-he!
Good talking to you and seeing your blog.
I am a bag lover, so today's prize really tickles my fancy!
Lots of nice gifties for you too...how nice!
MGM
Hello Nanette

Wow, what a great prize!! and i love those little owls, wonder if there's a tutorial for them somewhere......off to search :-)
I found your blog via Ginger Patches. I am curious to see what you've been posting this year. 7 prizes in 7 days is quite fun. I hope I can get back here tomorrow to comment!
I think that is such a creative color scheme, the black with a touch of brown. Only a creative person could pull that off.
While recovering from hand surgery, my sewing has been put on hold but I have discovered all these great blogs that I didn't know existed. The only blogs I have ever read were education related. - not so exciting. Where have I been?? My hand is healing, so sign me up for your giveaway if I am not too late.
Thanks,
Kathy from the MO Ozarks.

Hey, hey. Day 4. Cute, cute purses.
p.s. I totally love lemon verbena myself. Also my ultimate favorite. I had the most wonderful plant when living in CA. Sigh. I miss that plant and that lucsious smell.
So much fun following your blog anniversary week. Those gifts from Eileen & Stephanie are too sweet...you lucky girl!
have just discovered your blog and I am amazed. Love the owls and the turtledoves and your black and wite bag with a surprise hint of extra colour is just lovely. Would compliment lots of outfits.
I am so impressed with all you wonderful enthusiasm :-))

So glad that I found your blog. It is so creative and inspiring.

Ok, your home must be just full of lovely and cherished things. I sounds like you have such wonderful friends. I just love the bag and would enjoy making it. Thanks for sharing.
Aw yes Stephanie and Eileen are 2 very special ladies. They are so generous with their time and praise, -thoroughly good eggs!

Your have some wonderful friends to send you such beatiful gifts!

Blogging has opened up a whole new and wonderful world to me, and your blog is one I read regularly so thanks for being such an inspiration!
