October Winner and a Brand New Newsletter from American Pie!

And the winner is . . . Karrie Milheim, who hails from Florida!  Karrie has won her choice of my "Ghoultime Friends" or "Snow Days" kit, which comes complete with the full pattern and all the National Nonwovens Woolfelt she needs to complete her project!


"Ghoultime Friends"                                         "Snow Days"        

Karrie is a member of my American Pie Birthday Club, so she is automatically entered to win in my monthly giveaways, plus she gets a coupon for 25 PERCENT OFF anything on my website during her birthday month. This giveaway was also open to all "likers" of my Facebook page, "American Pie Designs", so just remember, you've got to enter to win.


Members of my Birthday Club also receive my new newsletter that contains special monthly coupons for discounts on patterns and kits, as well as links to free patterns by special "Guest Designers".  My October 1 newsletter contained a code for 15% OFF your purchase, plus a free pattern from Hayley Crouse of Welcome to the Mouse House for appliqued towels.  If you haven't joined my Birthday Club, there's no "downside", because I don't share your information with anyone else, you get discounts and free patterns, and you are always automatically entered to win my monthly giveaways. I hope you'll join!

So What's Coming Next?

My rug-hooking friends will be pleased to know I'm breaking my long rug-hooking hiatus and releasing three new designs during the first week of November. The designs (a rug, a bench runner and a table mat) will all be offered pre-drawn on linen or monks cloth and will also be offered as kits, complete with all the wonderful hand-dyed wool you need to finish the project. 

Well, I'm back to the drawing board, gal-friends, and in the meantime, Happy Stitchin'!  --xoxo--Melanie

Want Great Hand-Dyed Wool?

NEWS UPDATE (June, 2014):  I'm sorry, gals, but Christy Mason, who was previously showcased in this blog post, encountered some health problems this spring.  I wish her the best of luck and full recovery.  In the meantime, I got busy with the dye pot and introduced a line of beautiful hand-dyed wools you can find on my website at http://www.americanpiedesigns.com/wool1.html.  Visit me to see samples of "Some Like it Hot", "Red Riding Hood" or "No Moon Tonight" and many other colors, or email me for free swatches!
