I have to tell you, Want Not regulars are not only an extraordinarily good-looking bunch (because you are—I especially love those shoes), but you’re also very generous. Recently, lovely reader Crissy emailed me to say that her order from Heather Bailey had netted her a few extras she didn’t need, and did I want to give them away on Want Not?
Of course I did. Isn’t Crissy pretty?
So here’s what we have: The Henrietta Turtle pincushion pattern with the Gladys fabric kit to make one, and the Fresh-Picked Pincushions pattern booklet with the yellow pear fabric kit to make one. Both are fun little projects that yield pretty little pincushions in Heather Bailey’s signature fabrics, so if you’re a crafty type, this giveaway is definitely for you!
Want to win one of them? Pay attention, now—first you need to go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave me a comment telling me if you want the pear or the turtle by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Monday, April 26th, 2010 for a chance to win. If you don’t pick one your contest entry doesn’t count, so please follow the rules. Winners, as always, to be selected by random number generation (and ability to follow the rules!) and whatever else strikes my fancy. Okay, just the random number thing.
Ready? Go!

Crissy is a lovel, beautiful person and we all love her, not just because she’s donated these lovely gifts, either. I would have so much fun making that cute turtle and I know my darling granddaughter would just love to have it in her stocking at Christmas time. So, when you pick my number, please send the turtle.

My 10 year old has just taken up sewing. She would love the turtle. So cute!!
OMG, I love turtles, and I just yesterday finally convinced Mr. Thorny to unearth my sewing machine from our storage room in the basement!! This would be perfect.
I like turtles.
Both are great but I love the pear!
Our house could use a little Gladys (or would that be Henrietta?) right about now. Either way you call it, I have been eyeing that turtle pattern.
pears are almost as pretty as you

While my skill level is probably more pear, I like the turtle!

The turtle is adorable–that’s the one I’d pick!
So cute! Love the pear.

The Fresh-Picked Pincushions pattern booklet is probably more in my sewing skills range. Super cute – I need a reason to break out the sewing machine again…
The turtle definitely.
Pear!

My mom just got a new sewing machine! I would love to win the pear & give it to her!

What a hard decision! I think I like the turtle a little better.
Oh gosh! I’d loooove to win them both, but I have to pick, so I’ll say……pear.
Please don’t think that I want to be entered. I really am not interested in the pear or the turtle, although both are very cute! I just want to say that Crissy really is pretty both inside and out. I know because she is my daughter. What a great idea to offer these extras for the give-a-way! I am proud of you, Crissy!
Oooh, love Heather Bailey. And love the fresh-picked set.
Neato.
Oh, I don’t like that you make us choose from such beauty. Sigh. If I must choose it’s the turtle. Cuteness embodied.
I love them both! I choose the pear but I may purchase the turtle someday too.
The turtle is just too cute! Love it. <3
They are both adorable. I think I’d feel more comfortable sticking pins into the pear than the turtle, though.
