May Flowers, Common Thread Style

DSC_0535

Our little corner of Vermont is still getting plenty of showers, so this month’s Common Thread Give-a-Way is a much needed punch of color.

Jane McMillan, is this months artist. She’s giving away a felted fruit pin cushion – and you get to choose from the collection above.  With the exception of the Strawberry cushion, all the cushions are filled with crushed walnut shells which keep pins sharp.  The Strawberry is stuffed with polyfil.

To win a fruit pincushion of your choice, just leave a comment at Jane’s blogLittle House Home Arts.

When you’ve been to Jane’s blog, take a few minutes to check out the rest of our artists: Bedlam Farm, Full Moon Fiber Art,and Pugs & Pics.

Bounty

Whether she’s writing about her beloved pugs or her distinctive photographs, Kim’s work is humorous and heartwarming.  I got to know Kim and her work through the Hubbard Hall Writer’s Project.  It, like she, is infused with an infectious joy.

This month Kim is giving away a matted  8″ x 10″ drawing entitled “Bounty,” printed on watercolor paper and matted to 11″ x 14.”
