My 50th birthday is coming up at the end of next month. Just like Pippi Longstocking gives gifts to her best friends I have decided to give a gift to one of you in this spindle case raffle. In return, you will give a gift to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In last week’s blog post I wrote a poem about an embroidery<\/a>. Some of you might have guessed that a giveaway of some sort was coming up, and you were right. The richly embroidered spindle case is the prize in a raffle. There is only the one spindle case and only one happy winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raffle is over and the winner will be announced in an upcoming post.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deadline for entering is March 16th at 4 pm CET<\/strong> (World clock here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will donate all the ticket payments to the Centro de textiles tradicionales del Cusco, the CTTC in Peru<\/a><\/strong> when the raffle is over. The CTTC is a group of talented textile artists in Cusco, Peru who dedicate their work to the empowerment of weavers through the revitalization and sustainable practice of Peruvian ancestral textiles in the Cusco region. You are more than welcome to donate more than the ticket cost to support their causes, but you will still only get one ticket to the raffle. If you win you may need to pay an import tax or something similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spindle case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago I designed a spindle case that I now make (without the embroidery) and sell to students on my in-person courses . I do not sell these online. I did have a giveaway of three cases back in 2019, where the lucky winners lived in Sweden, Canada ant the U.S. This time I have only one spindle case, but it’s a pretty one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
