...since my last giveaway, so how about a pillowcase giveaway?!... All you have to do to throw your name in the hat is to leave a comment to this post telling me which pillowcase is your favourite in the photo above or in the other photos in this flickr set (you can describe them by color or fabric, by the names I've given some of them already in my Etsy shop (here and here), or simply by where they are from the top or bottom in one of the photos in the flickr set). In exactly a week (June 23), I will pick a winner (and perhaps more than one if the response is high!).
This giveaway is my way of thanking all of you who keep popping by my blog despite my lenghty absences of late (blast the house construction (of which I will give you an update very soon) -- it seems to be eating up all my time!). It's also my way of celebrating with you this very exciting pillowcase-related news... I've been dying to share this news with all of you because you are such a big part of it -- there is no way this would be happening if you didn't visit my blog so loyally and in such great numbers! So please, don't be shy -- leave a comment and, of course, best of luck!
I love love love your pillowcases, and if I were half the crafter you are I'd make one for myself. But since I'm not, that aqua floral should do the trick;)

I LOVE the aqua one, second down in the pile, the fabric and trim style are gorgeous! Congrats on your news!
Posted by: Sarah Gough | June 16, 2011 at 11:02 PM
Yes! I´m definitely in! =)
I love all of your creations but if i only have to choose one, i think that the second from the top (turquoise with flowers) would be my favorite.
Posted by: Nova | June 16, 2011 at 11:07 PM
My fave is the turquoise with green trim. Congrats on being featured in a book! So exciting and well-deserved.
Posted by: Allison | June 16, 2011 at 11:52 PM
Well how impossible is that! Choose a favourite...........hmmm well if pushed I have to say the second pillowcase form the top would be my choice, just a lovely fresh colour combination especially the little edging which reminds me of clouds! :o)
Posted by: sue | June 16, 2011 at 11:59 PM
Love the top on.
I'm a pink girl through and through.

Any that have a green base would be so wonderful!!
Posted by: Gertie | June 17, 2011 at 12:28 AM
Your pillow cases are sooo beautiful! any of the 2 first ones in the pictures will do!! :)
Posted by: Ana Burmester Baptista | June 17, 2011 at 01:04 AM
Ho Beata! What fantastic news! Well done. I would adore to have one of your pillowcases. I've tried making my own using old ones I already had, but they just don't have the colourful zing that I love about yours. Trying to choose a favourite is like mission impossible! I can't do it. I love all of them! Lots of love, Amanda xxx
Posted by: amanda makes | June 17, 2011 at 01:37 AM
I'm in LOVE with all your pillow cases, but I would have to choose the top one (pink floral, with pink crochet trim). Best of luck with your house move, it really does look like a dream home!! xx
Posted by: Jessie Fincham | June 17, 2011 at 01:43 AM
I love the first one, in pink! I have two girls, and I'm addicted to pink! :))
Thank you!
Posted by: Maria João | June 17, 2011 at 01:44 AM
love them all. I would choose one in pink or blue :)
Posted by: Paula | June 17, 2011 at 01:44 AM
oh my goodness they are all so beautiful..but i think my fave is the pink and white one at the top in the above photo
thank you so much for this chance
can't wait for a house update :o)

All so very beautiful- my favourite is the third one down with the lime green edging!
Posted by: Debbie vdS | June 17, 2011 at 01:55 AM
I love your creations but if I had to choose one the second from top is my favourite too. If I was lucky enough to be drawn from the hat would you mind giving it instead to my dear friend that introduced me to your blog. She, like you, is inspirational.
Posted by: Flossie | June 17, 2011 at 01:55 AM
I do enjoy your work, i try ! i wish i win !
Posted by: La Crapaudine | June 17, 2011 at 01:59 AM
Count me in please!!
I love the third from the top with the lime green trim!
Thanks!
Posted by: Gill | June 17, 2011 at 02:00 AM
Ooooh love them all, but my favourite is the turquoise with roses on....second from top. You cannot be sad or mad or down with a colour like that! Truly beautiful! x
Posted by: vanessa | June 17, 2011 at 02:17 AM
I would love the blue and green one that is second from bottom. My daughter wants her room to be painted blue as she has totally gone off pink now that she is nearly 11!
Posted by: Tonya | June 17, 2011 at 02:22 AM
I always think they look wonderful together, it's so hard to pick a favourite! I do very much like French Rose, maybe it's a coincidence!
Don't worry about not blogging much, I find that whenever you do, it's so lovely and colourful, it more than makes up for it!
Posted by: Petit Filoux | June 17, 2011 at 03:04 AM
Wow - they are all so pretty and vibrant.
I think if I had to choose one favourite though it would have to be the second one down (from the top) blue with red posies - just gorgeous.
They are all so very pretty though.

Ah, I have to give this one a try too... The second one from the top for me please. Turqoise and flowers, it's just perfect! :)
Your life is full of wonderful other things that need your attention now. Being crafty and taking beautiful shots of it will come around when time is there. I'll be here whenever that is! :)
Posted by: Sandra | June 17, 2011 at 03:22 AM
I love all of them but if I had to pick just one...the green one, second from the bottom.
Posted by: cduncan | June 17, 2011 at 03:27 AM
Love the pillowcases! Do I really need to make a choice, can't you choose for me? :)
OK, then I will go for the pink one. My house has a touch of pink every where...
Posted by: Ruth | June 17, 2011 at 03:52 AM
These are all so beautiful! My favorite is the turquoise-bluish one, the second from the top... :)
(June 23 I am on the Adria, hope to follow you there too!) :)

They are all so beautiful! I would love any one of them maybe the top two might be my favorite right now!
Posted by: Clara Jung | June 17, 2011 at 04:17 AM
Oh wow how generous a give away! I have to say I adore them all but my favourite is the turquoise blue one second from the top in the photo above. It is just stunning and it's all my favourite colours. I did chuckle a little because I have a top in the fabric of the pillowcase below that one and I have been thinking about edging it with crochet for a while.
Love

Hi. I have to say it would have to be the top one as it seemed to 'jump' out of the page at me! It would also go perfectly with my handmade duvet set which is all different fabrics with a pinky floral theme. Thank you charity shops for mismatched items....
Posted by: RavenJoolz | June 17, 2011 at 04:56 AM
Holy Cow!...this is what I get for living at the other end of the country...waking up to a new post and all these comments. So much love for you and your pillowcases! How do you pick a favorite? Second from the top would look lovely in Emma's room...forth from the bottom goes with Elsie's...
You choose...you know how hard it is impossible to pick a favorite daughter! lol xo Have a great weekend!
Posted by: leanne | June 17, 2011 at 04:58 AM
I have read your blog for a long time and just love your style. Congrats on the news!! Of course I love them all but to pick one...it would be the top one in the Flickr photo or those great green polka dots on erstwhile:). I cant decide!!
Posted by: liz hackett | June 17, 2011 at 04:59 AM
These are beautiful! I'd love any of them, but I love the turquoise with pink flowers (second from top) or the pink & white (top) with pink trim. What a nice prize for the lucky winners.
Posted by: Bernie | June 17, 2011 at 05:00 AM
Oh the very popular turquoise second from the top one, so pretty!
Posted by: Kate | June 17, 2011 at 05:12 AM
Do I really have to pick my favorite? They are all glorious!!! I'd be lucky to get any one of them! Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Rachel | June 17, 2011 at 05:18 AM
Oh picking is so hard! I think I love the liberty-esque print with green trim best or the one on top of that maybe.......oh it is so hard to decide!
Posted by: ingrid | June 17, 2011 at 05:22 AM
I love the 3rd one down with the green border. Super cute!
Posted by: Lindy | June 17, 2011 at 05:25 AM
Oh my goodnes they are all delightful! We are going to redecorate my 10 yr old little girl's room and think the pink on top would be a perfect starting point! Although really we had a hard time picking a favorite!
Posted by: Colette | June 17, 2011 at 05:28 AM
They are all so gorgeous I can't pick a favourite so I will leave it up to you to choose if I win. (yes, I just took the easy way out!)
Posted by: Brianna | June 17, 2011 at 05:32 AM
they're all so pretty! but, i'm especially fond of the turquoise one with the ditsy roses.
i'm anxious to find out how construction is going on your dream cottage. i'm sure it's zipping right along.

Posted by: amy | June 17, 2011 at 05:43 AM
Well, I love them all, but my favorite is the blue with the roses on it! Seeing these reminds me I want to make some time to work on sewing and crocheting to pretty up my house this summer!
Posted by: Misty | June 17, 2011 at 05:46 AM
