Special Give-away for club members

Since I first mentioned I would be giving away special floss each month in a give-away for club members I have been flooded with emails asking me to post pictures of the floss. So instead of making you wait, I will show you the floss.
As promised......I will draw a name from each club (floss and linen) on the 1st of each month. If you get 6 skeins or 1/8 yard of fabric, you will win 6 skeins. If you get 12 skeins or 1/4 yard of fabric, you will win a box of 12 skeins!

After you win I will mark your name on the list so each month after that the others will have a chance to win. I think this will be fun!
Here is the floss I dyed for January for the special give-away
There is a bonus! For January I will also send a skein of the special purple at the bottom of the photo.
I will be giving away these gifts to the three clubs. Limited Editions, Primitive Limited Editions and the Linen (and Aida) Club.

Is there extra floss? Yes! I have 10 more boxes of 12 skeins each. They are $29 if anyone is interested. I have 5 more skeins of the purple and they will be added to the first 5 boxes sold. Email if you are interested nbelgian@aol.com to reserve yours. They can be shipped with your club shipments and I will pay the extra postage if you are in the states.

I will dye 12 special colors each month and have the drawing on the 1st for the clubs. Then I can ship your gifts with your club subscriptions.

It's always fun to host the give-aways and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Happy New Year's Eve!
                                                  Nancy

Happy New Year!

Another year is slipping away......another new year to celebrate and enjoy. New friends....new give-aways....new floss and fabrics....so much to look forward to!

I will be sending out your club invoices tomorrow. If you are busy it is no problem to wait a day to pay. Shipments will go out on the 5th so I do need payments by the 4th.
If you want to add any items to your monthly shipments I need to know right away please.

A big thank you to all the new club members and welcome to my blog! A big thank you to Nell for sending new club members!

Stay tuned for lots of goodies and sharing....the best part of my life is to share with my friends. If someone is to remember anything about me I would like it to be:
All you can take with you is that which you've given away.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Adding Aida to the Linen Club for 2018

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas. I had a wonderful day with my family......those are the best times! I enjoyed a day off and now it is time to gear up for 2018. Lots of new floss and linens to dye.

I will be adding 16ct Aida fabric to the linen club if any of you are interested. I have received one order and have placed another for January. I wanted to test the water first....a couple of you requested that I add Aida to the inventory and I am happy to fill the requests if I can.

Pricing for the Linen club will remain the same for 2018.
I have 28, 32, 36 and 40ct linen.
1/8 yard is  $9
1/4 yards is  $19
1/2 yard is  $39

Aida pricing:  16ct
1/8 yard is $9
1/4 yard is $17
1/2 yard is $35

You can join for one month, 3 months, etc. or auto ship each month. You can also just place one order for any fabric. I will start showing colors in January that are available. nbelgian@aol.com with any questions

Starting in January I will have the drawing each month for a winner in each club for the free floss. The Limited Editions, The Primitive Limited Editions and the Linen Club.
There will be one winner in each club on the 1st of each month. A week after their free gift is sent out I will show you the colors they received. That way if any of you want to order the special colors you can.
The winners will receive 6 free skeins if they get 6 in their club shipments or 1/8 yard of linen.
They will receive 12 free skeins in they get 12 in their club shipments or 1/4yd or more of linen.

This way we will have 3 additional winners each month for free gifts. Everyone loves free goodies! And you know how I love to have give-aways around here.

I think 2018 will be lots of fun and I will have some great new colors for floss and linens so stay tuned. I certainly will be keeping my elves busy carding floss in 2018.

I just finished a sampler pattern.....well it is a re-do of a pattern I had.....and when I have the legend and chart printed I will show it to you in a couple days. I think you will like the changes I have made.

Back to work......time to fire up the dye pot and start dyeing new floss and fabrics.

Have a nice day.....thanks for stopping by.

Final Decision on floss club bonus prizes for 2018

Thank you for your input on my idea of the floss club bonus prizes/give-aways for 2018.
Here is what I had posted:
I was thinking of new give-aways for 2018......and I think I will start with a bonus present in the floss clubs. I will dye some special colors each month and 6 skeins will go to one lucky winner. I will put everyone's name in the hat and draw a winner each month. I will dye new colors each month. The present will then be included with your floss shipment. I thought this would be a nice way of saying thank you to my floss club members. All of the floss clubs will be included.

Here is what I decided:
I will draw a winner for the Limited Editions Club each month and the Primitive Limited Editions each month. (The Ultimate Club was closed last year)
 I will dye 12 custom colors each month. If you receive 6 skeins a month you will win 6 skeins. If you receive 12 skeins a month you will win 12 skeins of my special dyed floss.  One winner in each club each month.
I will make a list of members for each club. After you win I will mark your name off the list so others get a chance to win. I have drawn the same name in give-aways that were close together before.  If you win in one club you can still win in another. Many of you are in two or three clubs. I wanted to make it fair so everyone has a good chance of winning.
If you are in the Linen Club I will send 6 skeins if you receive 1/8 yard each month and 12 skeins if you receive 1/4 yard or larger each month.

I will draw names on the 1st and announce the winners. But....you will have to wait to see your surprise floss! I know, that's mean. lol I will then wait a week and show everyone the special colors you received. I have not decided how many of each color I will dye and when they will be available if anyone wants to purchase them. So many things to think about.

So there you have it. Special give-aways for my loyal customers that I appreciate so very much. 2018 will be lots of fun! Of course I will have other give-aways that anyone can enter. We always have lots of give-aways around here. Sharing is what it is all about. The best part of my life.
Remember.......
All you can take with you is that which you've given away.

                                                    Nancy

Floss Club Bonus prizes for 2018

I was thinking of new give-aways for 2018......and I think I will start with a bonus present in the floss clubs. I will dye some special colors each month and 6 skeins will go to one lucky winner. I will put everyone's name in the hat and draw a winner each month. I will dye new colors each month. The present will then be included with your floss shipment. I thought this would be a nice way of saying thank you to my floss club members. All of the floss clubs will be included.

So.....do you think it should be a surprise as to who is getting the gift each month or shall I announce the winner? Tell me what you think.

I guess I better get to it and dye some new floss!

                                                       The Floss Queen

Join us in 2018 for the Floss and Linen Clubs

In the hustle and bustle of all the Christmas activities I am dyeing fabric and floss for 2018.
The linens will be darker and more dramatic in January. I did a lot of light mottled antique looking fabrics the past few months and now I will switch to more dramatic fabrics. I will show some after Christmas if you would like to order. Or join the Linen Club. You can do auto ship each month with the size and count you like or sign up for the number of months you would like.
28, 32, 36 and 40ct is what I dye.
1/8 yard is $9
1/4 yard is $19
1/2 yard is $39
plus postage.

The floss clubs for 2018......I have decided to continue with all 12 months next year. Come join us......
Limited Editions and Primitive Limited Editions
6 skeins is $14.85
A box of 12 skeins is $29.55
Join for as many months as you would like or do auto ship each month.

Starting in February most of the floss will have heavy variations in them. A few will have it in January too. I did a lot of subtle colored floss last year and now I will change to more drastic variations.

I send Paypal invoices on the 1st (or you can mail a check) and need payment by the 3rd as I ship orders by the 5th. If you have a different date you need to pay, please let me know in advance.

Would you like to gift a friend with a club shipment? Let me know and I can mail directly to them along with a gift card with your message.

I do ship International so send me a message if you want a postage quote. Several of my customers in Canada and Ireland do shipments every other month as I can put two months in an envelope for the same price. It runs from $9.50 to $13.50.

And last of all....if you want to re-new your membership for 2018 please send me an email so I can update my files. A lot of you have already done this and I thank you for your continued business.
