And the Winner Is.... UPDATED

I promised last week to draw names from commentators to my article about Brenda Hart's It's In the Bag book. This little spiral bound book is all about twenty purse canvases from The Red Thread and how to stitch them, with stitch guides by Brenda herself.  The book has a great photo of each finished purse and a succinct stitch guide for each.  If you are a purse fan, you need this book.

I listed all the names of those who entered and went to Random.org and drew a number.  The winner is the MN Stitcher!

Please send your snail mail address to me at chilly hollow at hot mail dot com and I'll drop my It's In the Bag in the mail to you next week.  After all, I am not a purse collector and this great little book needs a home where it will be read often and cherished.

Many thanks to everyone who expressed interest in this book.  I wish I had a copy for all of you.  In the meantime here are all the purse canvases.  Just keep clicking Next.  There are actually 42 of them but only half made it into the book.

By the way, here's another photo of one of the purses from the book, stitched by Dale who is working on the 4th of July flag bag from the book right now.

The purses were not all stitched by Brenda but by several different people. She did select all the threads and stitches though.

Thanks, Vicky. I didn't realize Brenda didn't stitch them all as well as do the guides. I'll update the article to correct my misapprehension. Appreciate your help!
