So for today's giveaway, I'd like to know which of the flowers on my sampler you like best. Leave your answer in a comment on this blog post (comments left on other blog posts or via email or any other way, do not count). The winner will get the new ebook and the kit of her/his choice upon release. I will randomly pick one winner on Monday the 11th of June 2018. You must leave your comment before Sunday the 10th of June 24:00h CET.

Hoi Jessica, alle bloemen zijn erg mooi. Voor mij was het moeilijk k u een tussen viooltje, anjer of klokje. Maar ik kies voor de sierlijke anjer. Mooie ontwerpen !

They are so lovely and I love them all but I think my favourite to stitch would be Tiger Lily

I love the Tudor Rose, but that is probably because I love English History and Literature

Coming from England, and the white rose county Yorkshire, it has to be the Tudor Rose! Thanks for this opportunity.

I love the decorative edges and texture of the carnation and the shape and colours of the viola. Thank you for opportunity to respond.

This is such a difficult choice, they are all lovely, but as I have to pick I will choose the carnation. Thank you.

I love them all, but if forced to choose, it would be the peony.

Sarah Titcomb

Hoi Jessica, mooie sampler heb je ontworpen! De bloem die mij het meest aanspreekt is het viooltje......eetbaar, heerlijk geurend en mooi om te zien.

Agne

They are so lovely! I could imagine them all on black silk. What silk thread do you use for them? It looks like not twisted one? Is it House of Embroidery silk? Do you have it in your shop?

And about the flowers: I like campanula, lily and carnation. And I am not able to pick only one of them (but I have one idea what to decorate with them all :D ).

Jessica Grimm link

5/6/2018 17:33:43

Thank you Agne! No I don't have this type of silk in my shop. The reason being that it is available in 1000s of shades and just far too hard to photograph right and get shade consitency between batches. There will be a link to the source in my ebook. The good news is: it is realytively cheap!

Nina Burnsides

Hard to choose, they all are gorgeous , I like the Voila the best

Mary Z

Hi Jessica.
I like all of them, but if I must choose a favorite it is the Viola.
Thank you for this giveaway!!

I would love the Tudor rose as I have a real obsession with that period of history. All the designs are lovely.

Catherine link

I hope your writing is proving successful Jessica! It will no doubt be full of lots of interesting historical points. Your sampler is beautiful, but I’m another Tudor rose fan. Good luck finishing the book!

Dima link

It's so hard to pick, but I really love the carnation. The color is so pretty. I also want to get a closer look at how the silks were laid.

Jessica Grimm link

5/6/2018 17:34:46

That will all be revealed in the ebook Dima :)!

Christina

I’m a blue girl so the Campula for me. They are all great really.

I like the peony the best.

Marianne

5/6/2018 15:23:45

The design is lovely and the flowers are beautifully worked. The Tiger Lily wins because of it simplicity.

Debbie

5/6/2018 15:33:55

My favourite is the campanula. I can see using it in a new project.

Thank you for this giveaway!

Beth P

Susan Cuss

All the flowers look great, but I'm drawn most to the peony.

Nancy Anne White

5/6/2018 16:44:09

I have always loved the classic beauty of the Tudor Rose and that is my favorite. Your Peony design though is a very, very close second with intricate detail.

Judy

5/6/2018 16:52:57

Tiger lily

Helen

Although the Viola and the Tulip are also very beautiful I vote for the Campanula because I love the subtle design and the color 💙

Ruby Struiksma

5/6/2018 19:11:02

What a lovely 'flower sampler' I love the Peony

Rose

5/6/2018 19:18:48

The campanula is beautiful!

Alison

5/6/2018 19:27:48

The campanula - love it!

Barbie Channell

5/6/2018 19:47:14

I rather like the Campanula.They grow like weeds in my garden.

Rachel link

5/6/2018 19:53:53

Campanula, Even though blue isn't usually my colour!

Whitney S link

5/6/2018 20:19:31

Definitely the viola! Purple is my favorite, and I love the details on the petals.

boli

5/6/2018 20:24:42

i love all of them but would go for the campanula!

Anne B.

8/6/2018 00:18:50

I love all of the flowers but my favorite would have to be the Tudor Rose, but I could easily be persuaded to stitch all of these gorgeous flowers

Sandie

5/6/2018 20:41:51

Your work is just beautiful! I would pick the carnation to stitch for the detail is so clear that one can almost smell it. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.

Jackie Ayres

5/6/2018 21:17:02

I'd have to go with the viola, because it's purple!

Velia Antila

5/6/2018 22:07:29

Happy Stitching!

Julie Carolane

The campanula - blue is beautiful!

Susan M. Knight

5/6/2018 23:59:19

Jessica, as usual you have stitched a fabulous masterpiece. As purple is my favourite colour I must say that the Viola is the best, but the Carnation comes a close second best

Lisa

6/6/2018 01:14:52

Campanula!

Jane Setter

6/6/2018 02:36:32

I just love them all but if I had to choose,I would do the Campanula first.

Carrie

6/6/2018 04:36:49

The carnation is stunning! I hope your writing is going as well as your stitching, which is fantastic

Dianne Thomas

6/6/2018 06:27:24

The tiger lily is my favourite

Marina Berts

6/6/2018 09:18:12

What a difficult choice! Viola is my first choice, but the carnation is really lovely. All of them are!

Christine Burton

6/6/2018 09:56:49

Your sampler is lovely and it is difficult to choose but I can never go past a Tudor Rose.

They are all gorgeous, but my favorite is the carnation.

Jan Heaney

7/6/2018 03:46:01

For me it is definitely the carnation

Valerie Neer

7/6/2018 14:44:49

The Tiger Lily is my favorite.

Amanda in Canada

7/6/2018 15:43:37

The peony! But they are all so pretty.

Nicola Hall

8/6/2018 07:13:22

It's the Tudor rose for me - but a very difficult choice as they're all lovely

Christina Free

9/6/2018 04:33:30

I love the Tudor rose but I think I would opt for the carnation as the petals would give one the opportunity to show off some pretty amazing stitching.

Janet Caruthers

9/6/2018 05:45:40

The Tudor rose for its classic shape and colors.

Sharon Howell

9/6/2018 22:13:46

I like the carnation and the viola (because it's purple).

Around here the violas have petals that are yellow and a white one, along with the purple ones. I'm in Indiana, USA.

Amanda Ashton

10/6/2018 20:05:31

A really hard choice...but I think it has to be the campanula.

Ulrike Heinzelmann

10/6/2018 21:54:27

Hallo Jessica, dieser Blumenstrauß ist dir wunderbar gelungen! Welche Blume ist für mich die schönste? Den ersten Platz für Viola, dann Campanula gefolgt von poeny und alle anderen.

Lena

10/6/2018 23:03:36

They are all beautiful, but if I have to pick only one, I'd say campanula.
