NEW Contest – Stitch the Reindeer In Your Favorite DMC Thread!
Thursday, November 10, 2011
I have some awesome news – my DMC pals and I are turning the Reindeer Stitch Along Pattern into a contest!
Oh yes, my stitching friends… It’s time to stitch and win something really nice – and all you have to do it stitch along, using your favorite DMC Floss 0r combination of DMC Embroidery Threads.
The reindeer pattern can be found in Tuesday’s blog, and stitch in any size on your favorite embroidery fabric in basic embroidery stitches. Use your imagination when stitching the simple design.
You can stitch the outline, fill the shape completely or add decorative elements like beads and bells. If you want, adapt the reindeer to a different technique. Just use your imagination and make it special!
Here’s my project-in-progress (above right).
I’m going to add some decorative stitching to the body of the reindeer, and I’ve used some decorative surface embroidery stitches in the saddle so far.
The most creative use of the pattern and stitches will win the prize, chosen especially for the Holiday Season - a Limited Edition DMC Bamboo Bobbin Chest.
Entries need to be emailed to me no later than December 1st (please keep the file size under 2 mb). I’m looking forward to seeing the creative things you all do with the reindeer.
Meanwhile, go ahead and drool – it’s a pretty sweet prize…

[...] I plan on getting cozy with the family and finishing up my reindeer project! Remember there is still time to enter the contest to win the DMC Bamboo Bobbin Cabinet! [...]
Wow! What a fabulous and generous prize! And what a wonderful idea, to turn the SAL into a Contest! Love seeing the progress on your Reindeer. I’ve started stitching on mine, and look forward to reading more project posts
It will be a lot of fun to stitch this cuttie! I’m not going to stitch it myself, busy with my exchange project, but I sent this link to my stitching pals, is this for USA only or Canada can also paticipate?
So cute! Wish I would have known about the re-vamp on the site and the contest sooner. I just today received the newsletter about everything. It definitely makes me want to get my embroidery stash out again and start stitching.
Thank you!
Hi Ren – So sorry you missed the info about the contest. It posted to the blog and FaceBook on November 10th. It’s good to check the blog often, as there’s always something exciting going on. Luckily, the pattern works up really fast, so I hope you will be sending in an entry! ~Emma
