... for you to enter a pillowcase giveaway! All you have to do is leave a comment to this post specifying which pillowcase would make you the happiest (there are 7 in all); the giveaway will run for a week, or until January 3, 2013 (yikes, already!...), at which point I will give at least one of these pillowcases away and perhaps more, depending on the traffic. Before you choose your favourite, take a look at some closeups...
Take note that the aqua-reddish stripe one has a top with stripes going one way and a bottom with stripes going the other way, as well as a trim with a slight color gradation since I used two different shades of pink to make it (although I don't know if you can spot that in these photos...)...
Two of the pillowcases have a different fabric for the top and bottom -- the first and fifth pillowcase in the pile below...
Now, I don't have any names for these pillowcases yet (something I'll have to figure out when I start listing them in my Etsy shop), so simply describe them as best you can... I probably won't be posting on New Year's day because I'll be away so I'd love to thank all of you, dearest readers, for making my 2012 that much more special with all your many visits and fabulous comments and here's wishing you a very, very Happy New Year!...
If I am the lucky winner, I would choose number 2 pillowcase. You do just lovely work.

I would want the one with aqua trim to insure I have sweet dreams. Thank you for the glove away and your ongoing inspiration . One of my goals for the new year is to learn to crochet borders so I can do this myself. I have been ogling over yours for so long it's high time I learn to do this. May you have a blessed New Year!

I love the 2nd one from the bottom. I actually love them all ... it's very hard to pick just one. They're all so beautiful!
Posted by: Patti Reed | December 27, 2012 at 03:59 PM
OMG. I love all of them and all you do! If I could choose I prefer the blue with pink roses.
Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.
And the best for you and your loved ones in the new year.

The stripe one would cheer us up my daughter has just had pins fitted into a broken arm on the 23rd 2 days into our ski xmas hols ,she has been so sad watching all her friends off snow boarding so we have been passing the time reading our favourite blogs. Love tracey

I would love the aqua case with the roses but truly they are ALL lovely and I'd be happy as a clam to own ANY of them.
Thanks for this very generous giveaway!!
Posted by: LindaSonia | December 27, 2012 at 04:08 PM
They are just beautiful! The one I love is the one with large pink flowers on a white background.
Posted by: Carolyn S | December 27, 2012 at 04:12 PM
Wow, this is so generous of you. And what a hard choice, I love so many of them. But my absolute favourite, the one that would make me really happy, is the one with the white background and pink and aqua flowers and pink trim. Thanks for the opportunity to win, and for sharing your gorgeous blog with us throughout the year.

They are all so pretty but I love the one with the aqua background and pink flowers!
Posted by: Lisa | December 27, 2012 at 04:25 PM

Ahh! So excited about this giveaway because I just love, love your work! Hmmm, if I happened to win I think my favorite is the bright turquoise blue with pink roses, but gee they're all great. :)
Posted by: Hedgerow Rose | December 27, 2012 at 04:40 PM
I love all of them but the red one would make me the happiest:)
Posted by: Angela Williams | December 27, 2012 at 04:40 PM
They're all gorgeous, but I'd have to say the stripey one is my favourite!
Cheers to you and yours B!

They are all beautiful! The second one makes me very happy!!!!! Could you tell me what the fabric names are? Soo pretty! I love the crochet edges! Thanks so much!!
Posted by: Janessa | December 27, 2012 at 04:50 PM
Oh my! How to choose! But I am drawn straight away to the white with pink roses (#2) or the blue/aqua with pink (red?) roses(3rd from the bottom). Thank you!

I love the aqua with the pink roses but really any of them would be wonderful! I love them all! Thanks for the fun! Sweet hugs!
Posted by: Lavender Dreams | December 27, 2012 at 04:57 PM
your pillowcases are always soooo lovely :) and my favorite is the turquoise one with the medium sized roses and aqua-looking trim!
Posted by: ratty | December 27, 2012 at 04:59 PM
I do love the stripey blue/red/pink one. I have actually ordered a book about crochet borders, because I love yours so much :-)
Posted by: Giggles in the Sun | December 27, 2012 at 05:08 PM
They are all so very pretty! I agree with others, it would be hard to choose. I think it would be nice to give one to the girl with the broken arm (Tracy's daughter). Sounds like she could use a bit of cheer. [disclaimer: not a friend or relative).
Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing your lovely pillow cases!
Posted by: Tiffany | December 27, 2012 at 05:29 PM
I would be the happiest to receive the 2nd from the top. The pop of colors and the way the trim works with the fabric is delightful! They are all lovely, though. :)
Posted by: Jenny | December 27, 2012 at 05:31 PM
So beautiful.... I adore the aqua with the roses....looks like that is a favorite!!!!!
Posted by: Miss Holly | December 27, 2012 at 05:40 PM
Oh, my, sweetness. I LOVE the red one with the pink flowers. Then its the green one. I just love the vintage-iness of these cases. As a crocheter, I am in love with the trim.
Thank you for your kindness in offering these :)
Posted by: Shannon Armstrong | December 27, 2012 at 05:41 PM
ooooo..... I am a stripey gal :) Would love to see the stripey one in my sewing/knitting/crocheting come office. I have the most comfortable couch in there that I snuggle up on when it all gets too much.
Posted by: Belinda Sands | December 27, 2012 at 05:56 PM
Thank you for the chance to win one of your gorgeous pillowcases.
I love them all but my very favourite is the aqua, with red stripes.
Posted by: Mmakynen.wordpress.com | December 27, 2012 at 06:12 PM
My goodness it's difficult to choose a favourite, but I would choose that gorgeous blue with red and pink roses.
Posted by: SuperMomNoCape | December 27, 2012 at 06:38 PM
I just found you via Pinterest and I LOVE what you make and all your colors! I love the turquoise blue pillowcase best! Here's wishing you a very happy 2013! :)
Posted by: Laurie Star | December 27, 2012 at 06:53 PM
These are all adorable! Super cute and I can't seem to pick or choose.. I'd be happy with any of these...especially the Aqua with the pink roses one :) Looking at these pictures really cheer me up!
Posted by: May | December 27, 2012 at 07:24 PM
Oh my goodness - they are ALL so beautiful! How to choose . . . I think I'd love to rest my head on the bright blue with pink roses. It's so dreamy yet so cheerful.

Your pillowcases are goregous and will surely bring the lucky winners sweet dreams! My favorite is the second pillow, white background/blue flowers/pink crochet trim (which I have NO idea how to make but completely adore it!) Many thanks for sharing these. Beautiful!
Posted by: Keri | December 27, 2012 at 08:40 PM
Such cute pillowcases! I love the one with snowmen on the pink background.

I love the one on top in the first photo. Bright red with flowers on one side and green stripes on the other...too cute! Fingers crossed.
Posted by: Maureen S | December 27, 2012 at 10:18 PM

What a lovely giveaway! I love the bright green floral one at the bottom of the pile in the first picture. Would look great in my sewing room!!
Posted by: Laila | December 28, 2012 at 01:23 AM
Ma che meraviglia! Sono tutte stupende ma, se dovessi vincere, la mia preferita è la quarta dall'alto, a piccoli fiori rosa con bordo rosa più chiaro. Starebbe benissimo nella mia stanza! Io vivo in Italia, posso partecipare lo stesso?

A happy and crafty 2013 for you!!! I'm always enjoying, well might admit drooling over your photos. Thank you for sharing! ♥
I really want to make a pillowcase but really have no idea where to start yet... I will get there one day, I'm sure!
Until then I will just try your generous give-away! I like them all, pick one? Seriously? Eeeehhhh... The aqua/red striped one with the mismatched bottom. That's just like me, perfect! ;)
Posted by: San Hoogland | December 28, 2012 at 01:57 AM
Any one of them would make me happy - but the blue one with the roses is particularly lovely!
Posted by: Maxine | December 28, 2012 at 02:10 AM
Oh How wonderful and thanks for hosting such a lovely giveaway,!!
I would be happy with any of them but turquoise and roses would be adorable....

For some strange reason my comment with Christmas wishes at your previous post disappeared, but I hope you had a wonderfull Christmas. And I wish you all the best for 2013!! I don't know if Dutch followers can enter you giveaway, but if possible I really adore the red one with flowers and the striped back!
Posted by: Eva | December 28, 2012 at 04:59 AM
Merry belated Christmas! I absolutely love the red one. It would look wonderful with the red quilt that I made for my husband. Your work is inspiring!
Posted by: Lynne | December 28, 2012 at 05:32 AM
You always amaze me with your talent and fabric selections. They are all precious but the white fabric with aqua and pink flowers - pink crochet trim - reminds me of my grandmother and a housecoat she once wore.
Posted by: Elizabeth | December 28, 2012 at 06:13 AM
wow they are so beautiful I would love win any of them but if I have to choose it would be the antiquey yellowish with small flowers looks kinda paislyish
Posted by: Tami | December 28, 2012 at 06:48 AM
They are ALL fabulous, but I love the pillowcase with the tiny snowmen!
