Oh, I’m finally finished with the Pansy Candle Mat. It’s just glorious!
On Monday night at 10PM, I will draw a lucky winner name and then announce the winner in my blog on Tuesday morning.
All you have to do to enter is comment in this post. If you have a blog, you must be a “follower” to qualify. If you’re a regular reader without a blog, just click the little “anonymous” circle and type your comment .. be sure to give your name! Everyone is eligible .. even you wonderful international non-USA readers!
Here’s more pictures of the Pansies ….
It measures about 13” across with the center circle measuring 4 1/2” across. It’s made entirely of 100% wool with the petals all my own hand-dyed and specially dye-dipped.
No, the basket of pansies is not included! They certainly look pretty with the candle mat though, don’t they?
The winning answer for Wednesday’s trivia question (What’s my most popular pattern to date?) is “Let It Snow”
It’s by far the most popular with “Scarecrow Jack in the Pumpkin Patch” coming in second place but, like Brenda suggested, I think once late summer hits, the Scarecrow Jack will take the first place spot.
All of you who guessed correctly will get one extra entry into this drawing. All those who commented received one extra entry too.
So again, to be entered in this Pansy Candle Mat drawing, you MUST comment in this post. I can’t accept emailed entries …. they’re too difficult to keep track of.
Even if you don’t have a blog, you are still able to comment by clicking the “anonymous” circle in the comment section.
Happy Day everyone!

Your pansies are simply stunning! I do a bit of wool applique and have made a few pansy mats and pincushions, but none of them even come close to the perfection of your work! The coloration surely sets it apart. I've become a follower and can't wait to see more of your work!
Please enter me in your lovely and generous giveaway
Blessings, Patti
Oh me me me!! You know I am a fool for your pansies!! It is so lovely! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Hugs, Lisa
Ready to win!
I've been following your blog for a while and I've almost got the courage to try working my first penny rug. All that cutting scares me, though.
I love your mat! Pansies and daffodils are my weaknesses! Please enter me in your giveaway.
I better win this one because that's the only way I'll have one of these in my house. LOL! That mat is brilliant, absolutely amazing! Maybe you could post a little tutorial showing how the heck you dye those petals to make them look so real. I think this one is the most certainly not a "beginner" project...but those petals do kick butt so it would definitely inspire those who are building their skills.
Congratulations on actually finishing it...and for the record, you are a bigger woman than I am. I could not part with that mat after all that work. LOL!
This is so beautiful! It reminds me of my grandma who always had pansies growing in her window sill...I LOVE it! I just found your blog tonight but I quickly added it & will be back often! thanks for sharing!
This is such a wonderful reminder of spring. We had snow easter Sunday at my house. Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi Cathie!...Love your blog. your funny stories and your patterns!...I haven't won a blog give away before and this would be a such a wonderful first time gift!....How is your car shopping coming along? :D ...Blessings to you and yours...Annie
