Hello, Friends!
First, thanks for the nice comments about the Halloween cross stitch wall hangings. For those of you requesting a tutorial, I don't think I'll be able to get it posted in time for Halloween. I can't believe this is the last week of October! There were several projects on my creative ideas list that just didn't happen this month, due to personal life issues. BUT luckily most of those ideas can be adapted to Christmas/holiday projects, including the cross stitch wall hangings! So making a Christmas cross stitch wall hanging tutorial is the new goal. ;-)
But I did manage to complete one of my creative goals last night. You remember my Sleepy Fox pillow, right?
Well now you can make your very own Sleepy Fox pillow! Or tote bag, pillowcase, jammies, onesie, you get the idea! I just listed the pattern in my shop last night, and it's only $4.00!
The PDF includes 2 versions of the pattern, one facing the "right way" and one is reversed. Also, this pattern version does not have the fur markings. I wanted to leave his (or her) body blank, so you can customize it to your own liking and skill level. But I am working on creating a new image with fur markings to add to the pattern. Anyone who buys the 1st pattern version will receive the updated version for free.
I hope you like it! For fun, how about we have a little giveaway?
I want to treat a reader to the new Sleepy Fox pattern for free!
Just leave me a comment! What are you or your kids dressing up as for Halloween? Any particular pattern designs you want to see? Seen any good movies lately? What's for dinner tonight? Just wanna say hi? Whatever you want to tell me, I want to hear it!
You can score extra entries if you mention this giveaway or my new pattern on your blog, twitter, pinterest, or write it on a bathroom stall. Just leave a new comment for each mention.
I'll leave comments open on this post until Friday, pick a winner at random, and announce it then.
**If you purchase the pattern and win the giveaway, I'll issue you a refund.
Good luck!
Hugs & Stitches,
Amy

I'm going as a Snowy Owl! I don't know where I'm going, but at least I'll look good doing it.

What an adorable pillow! I love your header and media buttons - there is just embroidery all over the place around here :)
And I proudly pinned your pillow to my "Stitchery" board.
And I tweeted about your giveaway.
I love this pattern so much! It would look so cute on a pillow in my living room. Even if I don't win I'll probably end up buying it lol

Such a cute pattern! Nice job :) My bf and I are obsessed with foxes ever since we moved into a house that has a fox family in the back garden.. So cute when they are babies - less so when they are adults and digging up my plants - but hey, still love them!
Hi Amy
Lovely pattern which I did purchase because I never win anything.
I posted to twitter and to Facebook and wanted to post to twitpic about it but did not want to violate copyright.
My DD loves foxes and graduates HS this coming June. Perhaps I can get this done by then for her.
Just found your site today but will be back.

Omg! that is so cute!
I'm currently having a time crunch panic. So many people are talking Christmas already and I have so much to do! :oS
sigh. that is my little vent :op
I love your sleepy fox. As for what my little girl will be wearing for Halloween, her first time trick or treating,she is adamant she will be Spiderman
What a wonderful pattern!
What a great fox! You stitched it up so wonderfully too! My 4 year old daughter is actually dressing up as Thor! Yes, that viking superhero guy! LOL
Squee! I love the fox! I'm not doing anything for Halloween this year, so no costume. If I had a kid I would totally dress them up as a fox or hedgehog this year because I'm currently obsessed with them.
He/she is a lovely fox...I'd love to make him.
Such a fabulous pattern! I haven't been stitching as much lately as I used to (I've been bitten by the quilting bug!), but I'd love to give this guy a shot. And, since you asked, we had cheese enchiladas for dinner tonight. They were delicious. ;)
I love, love this pattern. If I don't win, will probably purchase. Thanks! aileenbell@cox.net
I ADORE foxes! I've never met anyone who loves them more than me... I'm a freak about them. :) What a beautiful design - it looks great!
FOXES are wonderful!
I started my first art quilt today. I've never made any kind of quilt before, so I am trying to think of it as 3D embroidery.

Hello Amy!
Just want to say thank you for giving me idea on how to QUICKLY fill up the space within the embroidery with colour. It is so obvious, isn't it? As for mum of two boys time is precious for me so thank you for your time saving technique!.I have probably seen it trillion times before but only now it clicked!

I absolutely love the fox, he is so in need for a cuddle and I would love to be the one to do this.
how cute! I was going to go as Holly Hobbie but the time got away from me, lol. I would love to see more forest friend designs, maybe a gnome or some western cowgirl type items! :)
Sleepy Fox is adorable! I'd love to be entered in for the drawing. Thank you!

Thank you for the chance at this opportunity! I love the fox design.
Hi!!!
I'm an embroidery newbie. I'm in love with your work.
Here (Argentina) we don't celebrate halloween, but i would dress my little boy (4 months old) as sushi.
Sorry for my english, i'm trying my best!
See you!
I am writing to you from Germany and as we do not celebrate haloween there will no costuming here. However all children dress-up when it is carneval which is around February and some grown-ups enjoy it too.Personally I am not so keen! But I love, love, love your little sleepy fox and I would love to win the pattern. He is just soooo cute! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany
He's adorable! And with my nickname and email address, I can't help myself but to ask to be entered into your giveaway. I've always loved foxes! Fox
Just wanted to say Hi :) Craft Gossip shared your site, and it's lovely!
