All in for the stitchery give away

While I was cleaning up my untidy corner in the bedroom this morning, I found some stitcheries that I think would make a good give-away prize. They all relate to chickens, and they were all drawn and stitched by me on an off-white pure cotton fabric.

Here they are:

They measure about 10 -12 inches by 8 inches and have a border of fabric to allow them to be attached to something - maybe a cushion, a tray cover, a tote bag or a wall hanging. They look a bit wonky but the edges are straight. I had them on an uneven surface for the photos.

So if you would like to be included in the draw for one of these stitcheries, put your name in the comments section, I'll draw the three winners on Sunday and post them out on Monday. Everyone is welcome to enter.

  1. Rhonda Jean:

    I think that your artwork is wonderful. Would be honored to have one of the pieces. (I'm in the US, however, so I'd pick up mailing costs).

    I've been reading your blog for a few weeks now, and thoroughly enjoy it. Particularly enjoyed the recent entries about the visit with your sons (handsome family, btw).

  3. hello mark, I'm happy to welcome you to my blog and pleased you enjoy it. One of the values I want to develop in my simple life is that of generosity, so with that in mind, I'm going to cover the cost of all the postage, no matter where it is to. I have readers all over the world. In Portugal, Romania, Russia, Bardados, Egypt, the Virgin Islands, England, as well as many in America and many other places, so I was quite aware that I might be sending internationally when I made this offer. So thank you for your kindness, but (I'm using an old Australianism here) she'll be right, mate. : )

  8. Please count me in Rhonda. I have told my sons all about you and have printed off some of your artwork. They have coloured in one of your drawings for the title page in our family eco challenge book. I will shortly post a picture on my website for you. We would love to have a " real" piece in our house.

  12. me too! me too! I would love to be in the draw too Rhonda! If I am lucky enough to win one, I will frame it and put it up in my new office!

    (ALthough I wont hold my breath - in all my life, I have only won a lottery once - I was 11, and I won a bottle of wine at the Sutton Fete, which my parents promptly opened and drank with glee - I still tease them about it 26 years later!)

  13. Hi Rhonda Jean, we have never met before but somehow I was linked to your site a few weeks ago and you are an inspiration to me each time I pop in!
    Today your chook handicrafts brought tears to my eyes as my parents recently sold the farm I grew up on and I do miss those fresh eggs and clucking hens when I visit them (now in suburbia due to semi retirement at 75!)
    Thanks for making my day allowing me to remember the good times.
    You are so generous in offering your fine art to those around the globe and I pray that each receiver is blessed!

  16. Whilst I wont put my hand up as there are so many, I just wanted to let you know Rhonda that the stitcheries are wonderful and again to let you know how wonderful and thoughtful you are. You have some wondeful KHARMA coming your way. PS I havent been online much for the last week because Ive had my beautiful family visiting. NEISHA (MARLO)

  20. Just wanted to say how fabulous they all are (waited a long while for them to draw up so I could see -- dial up still) and to thank you for your generosity -- no need to put me in the draw though...

    Especially love the 'Sunnyside Farm' one at the top!

  21. Oh, yes, Rhonda - please add my name to the list for the drawing. What a delight to even be able to view these stitchery pieces! And to find out you have readers from all over the world - how wonderful that we were all able to 'find' you!! I'm sure the others consider you a blessing in their lives just as I do.

  26. Rhonda, when I first discovered your blog last week, it went immediately to my "Favorites" list!I've printed out the lemon cake recipe and hope to bake it this week. So much encouragement and many provocative thoughts at your site. Thank you!

  28. Oh, it's wonderful to have so many of you want a stitchery. I wish I had one for all of you.

    On Sunday, I'll write all these names on a piece of paper to draw out of a hat and let you all know who the winners are.

    Welcome to everyone who is commenting for the first time. : )

    You can still enter up until my Sunday morning, which will be around 12 midnight Saturday in London and 7pm Saturday in New York. I hope that helps, I know the time differences are confusing.

  32. Hi - Have recently discovered your lovely blog - sadly just too late to take part in the dishcloth swap. Please enter my name in the draw (although I am in the UK so will quite understand if you don't want to post overseas), as those embroideries are just gorgeous.

  33. hello Rhonda Jean..first of all I'd like to say that I found you through Jewel's blog over at Eyes of Wonder. Secondly..that I would like to add you to my list of blog friends. Thirdly, that I'd like to let you know about my blog..and also about our online e-zine called "Small Town Living" at www.stliving.net I think that the stitchings here are so very cute...and it's always so much fun to enter a drawing, or to hostess one.
    I will add you to my blog roll, and will visit again soon.
    Have a lovely Day.

  34. Love your stitchings (but please don't enter me in the drawing as shipping would be costly, I imagine)...

    I do want to tell you that I've started using the word "Chook"! :)

    I love it & actually have started callin' Fred the Basset Hound a Chook since well, I have no chooks of mine own at this point...

    I am plotting how to introduce them into the household...

  35. Hello Rhonda,
    I could only wish for such a talent as yours. I have printed out a few of your artwork pictures to show my mother in law- in the hopes to inspire. I was hinting but maybe I should plain out ask her to teach me.
    Please enter me amongst the many in the drawing. Anyone who wins the draw would be very lucky & honored to have pieces of your work. I Love the "Chook" embroidery. I picture them as being framed for all to enjoy & see.
    P.s. I too am a reader in the U.S
    So many drawings amongst blogs , I may do one for a set of my Fall picnic cloths...

  40. Good morning--from my end, my sweet, lovely friend. I've been coming by each morning with not quite enough time to write. I know, I know, I've got to move from the *letter* to *the note*! I'm working on it! Now, it would be *very wonderful* to have one of your beautiful embroideries framed and hanging in my new home!! :o) :o)So, you'd best be tossin' my name in and giving me a chance, okay. Love, love, love your heartfelt sharing, and warm neighborly friendship. I would truly miss you, Rhonda Jean, if everyday, friendly, neighborly visiting via the internet ever one day just up and poof, came to an end. I'm so thankful for the time you take to share all that you do--you always get me thinking. Do rest well. I hope you're feeling lots better, soon.
    Lovingly, Jewels

  42. Finally got this to load ~ far too late to be entered, never mind. I think my chickens are powering the dial-up backwards as it can take DAYS not hours for pages to load ~ I'm on my 4th day of trying to leave a comment on Duck Herder's Blog!
