inter galactic giveaway or blogging from a life raft


So we come to the third and final Stitches and Craft related giveaway. This one is for all the international people.... (as in...NOT in australia)
You know, I have one of those little maps right down at the bottom of my blog and it puts little dots on where people are visiting from. Its quite fascinating. But it can be quite worrying- I've had this conversation with a few friends...you see, two people visit my blog from the middle of the ocean. Yep, two little red dots in the middle of the ocean. I can't help but imagine two lonely castaways on their wooden raft, with their laptops...you know, just catching up on some craft blogs... (edited to add - there is only one dot today - oh dear, I hope the other person didn't get washed overboard)So if you would like to be entered to win a show-bag of patterns and stuff from me, Just leave a comment - and if you like, tell me where you are from, your town and country or just your country - whatever rocks your life raft!

(The winner of the previous giveaway that had no fancy title was "sewing the seeds of love")

  2. Hi Jodie!
    I'm in Minneapolis, MN, USA. I'm working right now on my Master of Architecture thesis, which is focused on the architectural use of fabric and dance. Your tips and tricks and fantastic creatures have been both inspirational and a great break from 'master-ful' thinking.

  15. Maybe the dot in the middle of the sea was alarmed at being discovered, and has gone off the grid! Here in Massachusetts, USA I'm very much on terra firma!

  16. I can see the sea from my flat! I'm not really showing off as I have to bounce on my daughters bed whilst looking through a pair of binoculars! I can then see a glimpse of Poole harbour (Dorset, England) which locals often claim is the second largest harbour in the world after Sydney. (I think we might be fibbing about that though) Can't see any rafts with bloggers on - must have drifted away!!

  19. I love, love, love your blog. I am from a land surrounded by lakes... Michigan, USA. I once heard that you cannot go more than 5 mile with out hitting some body of water here in Michigan. I have no idea if this is true but kind of crazy to think about. Thanks for all of your great hard work!

  24. I see you don't have my dot on your map, I'm in the northernmost of Norway, well above the polar circle. At the moment we worry about volcanic ash from Iceland.

  25. If I only have time to read one or two blogs a day, I always read Ric Rac. It always makes me smile - I love the stories :) I'm one of the dots in the southeast corner of the USA, on a mountain in North Carolina. Not near the ocean, but on the Eastern Continental Divide, where a message in a bottle dropped in a river on the west side travels to the Mississippi River and down to the Gulf of Mexico, and one put in a river on the east side sails out to the Atlantic Ocean.
