A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled on 2 books that so many of you love and swear by as embroiderers. So, I decided to do a giveaway of both, for those of you who haven't had a chance to own them!
Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches
(updated version)
Mary Thomas's Embroidery Book (vintage edition)
I'm doing a giveaway today of one updated version of Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches
and one vintage copy of Mary Thomas's Embroidery book. (2 different books) The vintage copy won't be the one in the picture - but it will be the best quality vintage copy I can track down!To win, just leave a comment on this post by 9 PM, US central time on Sunday, Feb. 5. Tell me which copy you'd like, and tell me one thing you love about Feeling Stitchy!
Edit: 9 PM, Sunday - comments closed! Two winners will be announced tomorrow! :)
I think I'd love to receive the vintage copy, which is unusual for me, since I am not usually a fan of used books. But, embroidery feels like such a vintage craft to me that I think I should honor it with the vintage version :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love how Feeling Stitchy has inspired me to learn to embroider (or re-learn, since I haven't done it in a couple of decades).
I'd love to have either copy! I like the variety of projects to be found on Feeling Stitchy.
ReplyDeleteWhat DON'T I love about feeling stitch? I myself frequently feel stitchy, and love to know that I'm not alone. Plus, you post some of the most beautiful, creative stitching I've seen. Hope in humanity...restored! (and I like the vintage copy)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the vintage copy of Mary Thomas. I have the updated version, but I have heard the vintage edition is better. I love the interviews on Felling stitichy and seeing people's work from the stitch alongs. Nice to see people's twists on projects.
ReplyDeleteI'd love either copy :) My favorite is the monthly stitch-a-longs! It's fun to see what everyone can do with the same pattern! & a great to expand my experience!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've heard great things about the older version, but I love books of all kinds. I love seeing what other stitchers are doing on Feelig Stitchy, and get all sorts of inspiration
ReplyDeleteI love how you highlight all the geeky, pop-culture pieces! If I win I would like the updated version because unfortunately old books make me sneeze :(
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to receive this, I am a stitcher and a stitchery designer, and I love collecting vintage things. This would make my day!!
ReplyDeleteI would love the vintage copy, I love feeling stitchy because it feels like home, I love seeing the creativity and talent of everyone that is featured, but it also reminds me of all the time I spent with my grandmother learning to embroider and how she would always point out some new stitch or interesting piece of art. Feeling Stitchy has such a great sense of community.
ReplyDeletelove embroidery books, especially vintage! feeling stitchy is so inspiring and love all the great tutorials!
ReplyDeleteEither copy would be wonderful, but I'll request the newer version. What do I love about feeling stitchy? What don't I love??? I love the wonderful variety of work you showcase on this blog. It's always a happy place to visit!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to win either copy, I'm new to embroidery. I really love your links on the side of your blog, everything's at my fingertips!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the dictionary as I am not too good at embroidery, but I love it!. And that is the reason why I follow you guys, because I would love to sew as you do!!!! Thanks for the chance!.
ReplyDeleteI'd love the newer one. We can't have nice things. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love feeling stitchy for introducing me to hand embroidery and needle craft. I have enjoyed crafting several projects and look forward to many more in the future. All of that is thanks to this website!
I would l♥ve the vintage copy :) and really how can I just put one thing I love about your blog, hum!!!!!!!!!! Variety and links, always inspiring :)
ReplyDeletecheers

I would love to win Mary Thomas's Embroidery Book, well, really either, I don't own either one. Oh, I love Feeling Stitchy because of all the awesome inspiration I find here! It is one of the blogs I check almost everyday. Thanks for being a constant source of inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorites. Love books and love stitchng. As the saying goes "My soul is fed by my needle and thread" Would love to win either edition. Thank you for having such a great site.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions...I'd enjoy having the Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches. And I love your blog for all the eye candy you continually provide...so awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! The vintage one would be awesome! Love Feeling Stitchy for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOooh, how I'd love the Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches!!! I love this blog because it is the finest one that has provided a healthy diversity of consistent, quality entries of the finest stitchery embroidery has to represent itself. I've seen every post and will for the rest of forever!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the beautiful work showcased on this site, and the pattern give-aways aren't too shabby either ;) I would love either version of the book, but I suppose if someone were to twist my remaining arm I would go for the new version.
ReplyDeleteI would love either! I truly love the inspiration of Feeling Stitchy.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy with either but with a toddler and 2 cats running around my house I would be afraid to use a vintage copy! I love the stitch a longs, they are so fun!
ReplyDeleteOoh I would love the embroidery dictionary.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love most about feeling stitchy is how it keeps stitching close and on my mind. I do a lot of other crafts and embroidery is not always high on the list. But every time I see a post I'm reminded how much I love it. Stitching was my first crafty love :)
One thing I love? Oh my gosh! I would have to say...all the beautiful inspiration! Inspiration without intimidation...I walk away from reading feeling like I could actually stitch some beautiful things!! That's powerful! Thanks! (p.s. hope I win...would LOVE those books!)
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with either book as I don't have a dedicated embroidery stitch book. I enjoy learning various embroidery stitches.
ReplyDeleteI would love the updated version. Feeling Stitchy gets my creative juices flowing and I have to grab my supplies and get busy. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd quite happily have either copy! Eek! So exciting!
ReplyDeletewickedsister69@gmail.com
I checked the new one out of the library and kept renewing it until they made me give it back, so I would love to have my own copy.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is great for inspiration and new patterns.
Half my pins on my pintrest stitches board are from feeling stichy! Either book would be fun, but my heart longs for the vintage one :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love either copy, but I would prefer the vintage. Have allways loved embroidery, I love the blog for the versatility in embroidery - the classic and the new ways to inspire.
ReplyDeleteI'd like either copy!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about feeling stitchy is seeing all of the great projects- I always get so inspired! I also like the stitch alongs, even though I've never joined in :)
I would love the vintage book! I am trying to teach myself embroidery this year... a new years resolution, and find all the loveliness here a great motivation, so creative and fun!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the variety of projects. I'd love the new version.
ReplyDeleteeither copy would make me happy!
ReplyDeleteI love feeling stitchy because of all the new stitch artists I find, and all the lovely patterns.

ReplyDeleteooh, I'd love either one! and I've been loving all the inspiration coming across the blog lately. thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe updated one would be fabulous!! I love feeling stitchy for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to find one thing I love most about feeling stitchy! I read every post and get some amazing inspiration from them. I just love the beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteSuch a RAD giveaway! While I think I would love the vintage one, I would rather own the newer version just for the pictures :)
ReplyDeleteWhat do I love about Feeling Stitchy? Um what don't I love? haha, the thing I love the most though is probably when you share different projects from readers and those in the Flikr pool!
Oooo! I would love to win either copy-- please count me in on this lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jill
I'd love to win the newer version!
ReplyDeleteI love Feeling Stitchy because it's getting me back to my thread embroidery roots. I started embroidering when I was 14, and I find it such a relaxing, calming way to make beautiful things.
I do much more bead embroidery nowadays, but I'd love to make some jewelry that incorporates thread and bead embroidery stitches.
-- Sarah, a newcomer to Feeling Stitchy.
Great giveaway! I don't mind either but I think I'd go with the updated version if I had to choose (I love pictures!) As for what I love about feeling stitcy... all the variety and inspiration that I get from y'all.
ReplyDeleteYea, agree with above comments, love seeing what different designs people can do with the same design.
ReplyDeleteI'd love the vintage copy--I adore old books. And as for something I love about Feeling Stitchy, whenever you possible you link us to the patterns used for the lovely pieces featured here, which are often patterns I wouldn't have stumbled across on my own.
ReplyDeleteHi Floresita! I would like to win the vintage one because I have many dictionaries but I haven't this one... =/ Anyway, Feeling Stitch inspires me a lot in so many different ways! A guess I love the variety of amazing projects made by so many talent people. I hope this wonderful book can travel abroad, ok? Regards! Simone
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win either book! Feeling Stitchy is always full of inspiration! I love seeing new stitches, I love seeing interesting color combos, finding new blogs--just all of it!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the shiny new version better.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Feeling Stitchy is being introduced to stitchers and blogs I haven't come across before.
I'd love the vintage copy! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a chance to win the vintage copy. I love reading about a time when embroidery was more prevalent around the home. I have one book that recommends dipping your needles and hands in asbestos powder to keep them sweat free!! One thing in particular I like about your blog is the pattern collections that come out every once in a while where you collect free patterns. It makes it easy to discover new artists and to not miss a hidden gem.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the updated version embrodery book treasure.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love the best about Feeling Stitchy is to touch, feel the embrodery stitches through your lovely articles and photos.
Thanks a lot!
Wow- I'd love to win either one! I do have a soft spot for vintage books, but I'd love the pictures in the updated one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Feeling Stitchy is finding new patterns to stitch up. :)

ReplyDeleteI would like to have Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches because I am somewhat of an embroidery beginner and I always want to learn more....and it's almost my birthday so it would be a great present fo rme haha. I love Feeling Stitchy because it is so inspiring to see all the different creations people come up with, I want to try everything! I have learned so much from visiting this blog.
ReplyDeleteOMG I would love to win either of these. I love vintage but I guess the newer would post better!
ReplyDeleteAnd (forgot to include this bit when I commented earlier) I love seeing new and different designers. Been busy on etsy buying some of my favourites as a result!
Please, Please, I adore vintage embroidery books, and I would be so honoured to have a Mary Thomas'early edition. What I like about feeling stitchy is not only the variety of projects, but the fact that your blog encourages the younger generation to get involved with embroidery and to discover what a wonderful pastime it is.
ReplyDeleteEither copy would be amazing! I love seeing all the different ways people use stitching to craft, it's very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like either copy. I actually learned to knit out of her vintage knitting book, so having the embroidery book would be special.
ReplyDeleteI have the updated version but I would really like a vintage copy! I love Feeling Stitchy for all the inspiration and projects that look great but don't take months to complete.
ReplyDeleteI would like the newer version. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteOhhhhh wow! I'd love either copy, although, I do adore vintage books. They smell so good. Weird, yes.

I would love to win the newer copy. I've just gotten back into embroidery and I love the diversity of the styles on your blog. Everything is just so inspiring and it encourages me to try new styles and een sketch my own embroideries.

ReplyDeleteThe one thing I love about this site is getting to see others' work and to see what other people are doing with embroidery, it's both inspirational and motivating.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to get a vintage edition. I love Feeling Stitchy, because of a simple reason : I love stitching. I'm an amateur embroiderer and I learn much from Feeling Stitchy! ♡
ReplyDeleteThe dictionary :-)
ReplyDeleteI love FS because it showcases the amazing art out there and really makes me want to be part of it - even though I'm too scared to try anything other than cross stitch at the moment! One day maybe... (with the help of this book perhaps? ;-))
Since I'm a fan of vintage books in general, the vintage copy would be great! I love Feeling Stitchy because it's been a major inspiration to me-so much so that I've taken up embroidery again for the first time in about 20 years! I'm blown away by the artistry and craft of you and your featured stitchers. I've saved enough inspirational posts to last a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteWell, what's not to love about Feeling Stitchy? You've got so many wonderful things to share and I've totally gotten back into embroidery because of this blog!
ReplyDeleteI'd love either book ~ thanks so much for the chance!
I love this site for many reasons and check it at least once a day. I guess my favorite reason to read it is for the inspiration and "permission" it gives me to be daring and original in my own work. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! The vintage edition is awesome but I think I would prefer the new edition. I love Feeling Stitchy because you bring the best of the embroidery world to one place. I love how you feature artists from all walks of life. Plus, it's just eye candy, isn't it? Who doesn't love looking at pretty colors and patterns?!

ReplyDeletei would like the vintage copy because i like vintage books in general. I love feeling stitchy because it gives my the warm and fuzzies about embroidery and it feels good right from the banner at the top to whatever the story is about!
ReplyDeleteI would love either book, but the dictionary seems especially helpful. I am a newly wed starting out on my own and trying to learn a lot of needlework and embroidary techniques to save money and add a personal touch to decorating. What I love about Feeling Stitchy is that there is a lot of inspiration behind the work and ideas posted and it gives you a lot of jumping off points for work :)
ReplyDeleteOhh, I would love the vintage book. I'm a huge fan of these old books! I love the tutorials on Feeling Stitchy!
ReplyDeleteI would love either one!! I am so inspired by feeling stitchy and i love all tye patternsand ideas i get off here. It is the one site i check daily and i love it!!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the newer copy. I plan on using it, so I want one that will be able to hold up to some use. :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing I feel about stitchy is, I am 72 and just beginning to learn to stitch, having the books would be an enormous reference. Thank You for offering them.
ReplyDeleteOh I think I would want the newer version--- just so I could use it. The vintage one I might want to put on a self afraid to touch it.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about feeling stitchy is all the fantastic projects!
I think I'd want the newer one, because I have a hard time following vintage craft books. I love how inspiring your blog is, I'm just learning and you have some great things.
ReplyDeleteFeeling Stitchy is my stitchery eye candy! Would love a vintage edition of Mary Thomas's Embroidery Book (I already have her Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, which is amazing). Thanks for doing such a nice giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like the updated version. I have Mary Thomas's Knitting Book as one on my favorites and am tempted by the vintage copy, but I'm a sucker for color photos. I love the variety of fun of the projects here. I do a lot of more serious long term embroidery pieces so I love the fast and quirky stuff I find here as a change of pace. It's just the thing for days when I want to pitch things into a trash can and swear I'll never embroider again. There's always something inspiring to find here.
ReplyDeleteI love the sheer variety in embroidery Feeling Stitchy offers, and I'd love to win the vintage copy!
ReplyDeleteI would love the updated copy! I recently found Feeling Stitchy and it inspired my first embroidery project. I love the monthly stitch a longs.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the first book! I'm a novice at those stitches!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! I would first choose a vintage copy - but either would be great as I do not own one. Thanks - I really love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI really like Feeling Stitchy! My thoughts on the best part - you find such great artists and feature them! I like the variety of artists you find and tell us where to find them it's like getting lucky on Pinterest or Google searches without having to do the search myself! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI would love the vintage version of the book!
Ooh, i would love one of the old copies! Thanks so much for the offer to enter to win. Such generous souls here at the ol' FS!
ReplyDeleteEither copy is fine by me. They both have their own wonderful tributes to the art. Maybe the vintage more as I'm a vintage freak. i love your website because you make it fun and the fun makes it great when teaching newbies an art I love to do. Keep up the good vibes and all the fun!! kimpe@izoom.net
ReplyDeleteI just found you via CraftGossip on Facebook. I would *LOVE* the vintage version of the book!!! It would fit so well in my house! I will look around your site since this is my first visit. I'm sure you're awesome... I mean... CraftGossip shared you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the variety you show on this site! So many interesting and creative stitchers! I have the updated version but would love to have the vintage one!
ReplyDeleteBoth would be great but I think I'd like the updated version.
