Win Traveling Stash Box #2 - Ends June 30

Time to give away traveling stash box #2 and here is what it looks like! Contest starts today and ends June 30th.

 This box is smaller and came in a medium box, so it will save some money for you when you win it!

It had 2 really nice Needlepoint kits, a Counted Cross Stitch kit, a Doll pattern and another quilt pattern and 2 purse handles. Since I do not make purses, have never learned counted cross stitch or needlepoint, I place them all sadly back in the box, wishing I knew how! Not to mention a really cute ribbon kit for making barrettes!

I have so many quilting patterns already I will be like that saying I can't die until they are all used up so I will be around 2000 years old by then. HAHA!!

I did keep 2 pieces of fabric that I think will make a really nice table piece for our big BBQ next week (oh, that means I have to get busy!), the charm pack, a baggie of pre-made squares for a baby quilt (great to fit into my box to OKC tornado victims) and a larger piece of fabric. Done and Done are the 2 projects!

I then added the following back to the box:

1 yard of green plaid fabric
1 yard of floral fabric
2 Sunflower fat quarters (Thimbleberries)
1/2 yard pinkish red mottle
2 Australian Fat Quarters: 1 with a kangaroo/1 with a koala bear
Large EZ Guide Hexie template
A lighted needle threader
1 pack Schmetz machine needles
1 flower making template
8 pre-cut hearts with Steam a Seam so they are ready to iron on 

So to win this traveling stash all you have to do is follow the rules...United States residents only due to the weight of the package and leave a comment here daily!
