Since we were just talking about the beaded pattern couching, I have been meaning to give away my extra copy of the March/April Needlepoint Now that I received when we switched to a post office box this year. My copy took so long to be forwarded from the street address I thought it was lost, and NP Now sent me a replacement. (Thanks, Elizabeth!) Naturally three weeks after the replacement issue arrived the original showed up with stickers all over it as it was shunted here and there.
This issue has beaded pattern couching diagrammed in the Leigh Deisgns flower piece on the back side of the magazine stitched by Brenda Hart. You can read all about the issue here and even see Brenda's piece by clicking on the link to the Back Cover.

I'm going to give my extra copy away to a random person who comments on this blog article. So post a comment and I'll pick a number based on the first, second, third, etc. person who comments. If Blog won't let you comment, don't worry, you can still enter the drawing. Just email me at chilly hollowat hotmail dot com and I'll include you.
You don't need to give me your mailing address or anything, just write a comment and post it or email it to me. I'll announce the winner Sunday to give everyone a chance to read this blog posting. The winner can then let me know where to mail the copy.
Good luck!

I have been reading your blog for awhile now, and sure enjoy your work. I like the way you did the curls in the mermaid's hair. I would like to enter the drawing for the giveaway magazine. Thanks. Sandi Hersh
Hi Jane--What a nice giveaway! I've been looking at this issue--love the tulip on the cover.
Just wanted to let you know that I read your blog at least once a day, and sometimes more. I'm always amazed at how fast you stitch. You complete several projects in the time it takes me to do one. What's your secret?

The mermaid canvas turned out so cute! I'm thinking of doing something similar for my neice for Christmas, probably using her favorite college team as the design. And thanks for offering the giveaway of the extra copy of your magazine as a prize! Here's hoping I win.
Love the little mermaid! I would like to be put in the pot for the Needlepoint Now. Thanks, Pamela
Carol, the secret to accomplishing a lot of stitching is to do it every day without fail. I usually manage to get two hours' worth in each night in front of the tv. If you stitch constantly, you get a lot done. (Picking small projects helps, too! The mermaid is around 4 1/2 inches by 5 inches with the border.)
Oh I love a giveaway!
I check your post daily your stitching is so challenging and always easy to follow. Please include me in the drawing. GB in Waco
GB, my stitching isn't really hard. It just looks it (which is one of my favorite parts about NP, actually). If I can do it, anyone can who wants to take a little time.
Hi Jane,
I have been reading and enjoying your blog for some time. I thoroughly enjoy all your projects and only wish that I was able to fit so much in ... one day!
Your mermaid is delightful! Watching your Melissa Shirley canvases come to life has certainly inspired me to start stitching the ones in my stash! Thank you for the drawing offer!
What a great thing to do, but don't enter me in the contest!
Eight people entered in the comments above, so I headed to Random.org and asked for a random number between 1 and 8. The number is....
FOUR!
So the winner, counting from the top down, is Pamelaric. Send an email to me at chillyhollow at hotmail dotcom, Pamela, and I'll arrange to mail you the copy of the March/April 2010 Needlepoint Now.
