Spring Bloom Thimble Pip Giveaway

This Giveaway in now Closed.

Today is turning into a super busy day, so I will announce the winners tomorrow (June 11th.)  The winners will also be notified by e-mail.

The very first time I saw the fabric line Spring Bloom designed by Amanda Caronia for Windham Fabrics, there was one particular fabric that caught my eye.   The blooms reminded me of peacock feathers and I knew that it would be perfect to fussy cut to make a thimble pip.

I decided then and there that I was going wait until it was released and even if I had to order it on-line and pay international shipping I was going to have some of it.   Well as regular readers know, the fabric came to me in the most fun way possible.

I won a fat quarter bundle with one each of the entire Spring Bloom line. You can read all about that here.

I was so excited to be able to play with all that beautiful fabric and I have a big project in the works using them but first I had to make that thimble pip!  Well two actually because as you can see from the photo above there is also a pink color way of the same design.

Here’s the blue one:

And here is the pink one:

Each thimble pip is lined with the matching blender fabric from the Spring Bloom line.

After making the thimble pips I embroidered around each with 2 strands of embroidery floss using a herringbone stitch.  And then to give them a bit of bling, I added teardrop shaped crystals to the “eyes” of the peacock feathers.

Now if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that I already have a small collection of thimble pips.  You can find my tutorial for how to make them here.

Since I have so many, I’ve decided to give these two away.

The rules are simple:
