OUT: Muster of YOU! (plus a giveaway)

So many of you have been playing right along with Once Upon a Thread and have done such fun projects.  Here are just a few from the Flickr group:

Sweet Cheeks Design had fun with the princess and the pea!

Liza Jane made this colorful jacket based on the book "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More," actually painting the fabric!  (The book looks like a very fun one, too.)

A Piggy Baby did some cute onesies inspired by "A Color of His Own"

Feather's Flights made this cute applique and somehow managed to capture this shot of her cutie cute mimicking the bird from "Are You My Mother?"  Love it.
And we all recognize these characters from Richard Scarry.  Good job girls from Crafting Makes the Heart Grow Fonder!

Darling bunny from "Fluffy" and I'm loving the cover to the book as well!

A peasant dress from Bremen Town Musicians, great applique work!

Story dolls-I can pick out Pippi Longstocking, can you tell who the rest are?

Colorful Skirt and Shirt inspired by Suki's Kimono written by Chieri Uegaki--makes me want to check out the book!

"Little Blue and Little Yellow" land on a hoodie!  

"The Little House," of course!  You'll want to click to see Jane's great roof detail.

Another one you'll want to click on to see the interior details from "Will You Be My Mommy." 

Another Pigeon Project!  Look at the tie.  Love that detail!  Good job, Jen.

Richard Scarry's characters in a quilt to keep you warm!  Darling, and fantastic embroidery.
and a matching "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" quilt!

"Emily's Balloon" recreated by stamping random red stars on the fabric.  Brilliant!

And I've been waiting for this one to appear!  "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See."  I know my little Cloves would love this as she "reads" it.

Look what those lovely gals at Clever Charlotte came up with using their patterns, as well as the Knuffle Bunny look alike!

I hadn't heard of this book before OUT, but think I need to check it out, because I certainly have 7 silly eaters of my own!

You really just need to check out the Flickr group to see them all, such great projects, everyone!  I wish we could just all meet up and have a night of sewing and sharing our inspiration and eat avocado ice cream with almond cookies.  I think I'll put it on my wish list to Santa.

Now, for one more giveaway to send you off from another round of Once Upon a Thread, I have 3 patterns returning from last OUT, Follow the White Bunny!

This would be a great holiday project to take with you when you travel, you know, just in case you have the itch to sew in the midst of the fruit cake and mistletoe.

Okay.  So: 
➊ Leave a comment to enter to win one of 3 patterns!
➋ Please include your email address if it's not linked to your profile.
Open JUST TODAY!! (so hop on it. ;) Closed!

Thank you one and all for another great round of Once Upon a Thread!  
It was delightful as usual!
