A Giveaway in honor of Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum

As I'm sure many of you are already aware, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum passed on August 14th.

Many of you will recognize her work from the Butternut Road and Lavender and Lace product lines. 


My first stitching piece that wasn't a "pre-kit" was her Angel of Freedom....back in 1989.....and  I can still remember the joy I had in buying all my new skeins of floss, sorting them out and getting everything ready. 


In honor of her beautiful work, I'm giving away some of her charts from my stash (I love them all but I know I'll never be able to get to all of them!)




Here are the charts I've chosen:

#1 - Angel of the Sea


#2 - The Second Angel of Freedom

#3 - Earth Angel


Giveaway Logistics:
  • I will have 3 drawings, one for each chart.
  • I will draw names using Random Number Generator
  • Giveaway ends at 1pm EST on Sunday, August 26th

How to enter:
  • Please be a follower of my blog
  • Post a reply that includes your name, email address and chart choice
  • If a chart choice isn't included, I'll add your name to the chart with the lowest # of names

Oh my goodness that is so sad, such a loss. My first big project Nantucket Rose was designed by her also.

I've read about it =/ It's very nice of you to host this giveaway, beautiful gesture =)
I'm a fan of her daughter designs, I'm a Pixie lover hehehe So, I won't enter my name for your giveaway, I will leave a chance for someone else who would love to stitch one of these designs :) Good luck to everyone!!
Hugs&smiles to you

Oh that is so sad! I have all of her celtic princesses and have finished winter and am working on spring right now. I also have a Santa Claus pattern that probably was designed by her, but I'm too lazy to go upstairs and check.

I would love to be entered in your giveaway, even though it's highly doubtful I will finish all of the ones I have already! It's hard to choose one chart, but I think #1 Angel of the Sea would be my choice. My email address is CNewton724@gmail.com.

I am a follower of your blog. I am interested in #3- Earth Angel. She will be missed. I have never stitched one of her design yet. I just found one in my stash bin. It is called, "Spiritdancer". I will stitch it in her memory ...it is a huge design though.

Such sad news - she was an amazing artist/designer & has left behind a wonderful legacy. I have admired her designs from afar but never stitched one yet, although I do have a couple of her charts in my stash. I would love to enter your giveaway - all 3 designs are lovely but think Angel of the Sea is my favourite. My email address is in my profile ;0). Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway. Good luck to everyone who enters.
