Maebh Has Spoken



More details:

This is the shuttle, an  English Aero,  that 
I won on eBay last year.  

It is in perfect condition; only 
one owner, before me, in England.

There are a few extra goodies about which The Cat quarrelled with Maebh. 

She won. 

1) This is a special way for me  to say 'Thank You' to all who have visited and supported me and tat-ology over the past year. In light of this, I will not accept a name that I have never seen before, submitted  just because this is a giveaway.  The shuttle is to be won by someone to whom I am actually grateful! (Thanks, Bev;  you inspired this brainwave!)

2) Let me know if you want to play be responding to this entry.  This is the only place I will look for your name.

3) I will use the Random Generator on Thursday June 10th and announce the winner by noon that day.

Anon,

  1. Wow! You and Maebh are AWFULLY nice - entertaining and inspiring us with your blog and then offering a legendary shuttle as a thank you! Seems kind of backwards... But since I have no Aero to offer YOU, I will gladly throw my name in the hat!

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway - it's so much fun!

    :) Ann

  2. Yes! I've actually never tatted with an Aero before- I'd love to try a real one! Thanks!

    Oh, and it's good to see that Maebh and The Cat have patched things up. :)

  3. " Where everybody knows your name.."
    Now, why did that part of the Cheers theme song came to mind, hmmm...
    I have one Aero that I received as a gift. Another gift to partner this lonely Aero is most welcomed, :)

  4. I too would like to try an English Aero...please include me in your giveaway.

  5. Hmmmm...I'm pretty certain I've been following you around, because I read your blog all the time. At any rate, if you recognize me, be assured your little English Aero would find a loving home with me, and would never be neutered (I keep hoping the little darlings will reproduce -- but I think mine are all boys).

  6. This is so so generous of you - especially to win a shuttle and then give it away! Yes please, its got to come back to England, ha ha!
    Bevs idea was a such a good one, think I will do the same when I do my give-away.

  7. Clever, clever little Maebh! She knows exactly how beguiling she is, perched there and brandishing that Aero shuttle !! Everyone in Tat-Land is taking notice, I am sure!
    I do not own any sort of shuttle yet, except for my lovely collection of Clovers...they are marvellous, by the way, but I would love to be included in your draw to win this one...
    Thank you so much, Fox. Always so inspiring to read your blog!

  10. Hope Maebh did not hurt the cat too much, while getting her way.
    She certainly picked a great prize.
    You are very generous.
    But did I hear somewhere that there would be one of your prized hand-tatted treasures in the giveaway, also?
    That is certainly a prize to fight over!

  11. Wish that I could have heard the argument! I'm not sure if I qualify as a name that you know, but I've been viewing your blog for the past 6 months. Your tatting is beautiful and thanks in part to you, I've decide that I must learn to shuttle tat. If Maebh is available for lessons just let me know. Although I don't know that she will get along with the kitten (my toddler)./

  15. I'd love to be included. I love my Aeros, but I don't have an English one. I've been enjoying you blog quite awhile.

  16. I have used the Aero shuttles and I like some aspects of it but the noise can disturb those around if you tat in a quiet area. It is very light and a little thicker than some of my others. Dacitarple

  17. I do believe you know me so yes I would like to enter your give away!! Now I know I am a needle tatter but I do have some shuttle tatters that let me hang out with them (mostly if I have a pizza)LOL Thank you and Maebh for doing a give away!

  18. I don't know if I'll qualify for the contest, I'm a total lurker.

    I thought I'd take the chance to say that your blog is very inspiring to a new tatter like me.

    I am especially fond of the bookmark you just made for your sister. It's totally amazing!

  19. I'm not a big commenter, but yours is one of my favorite blogs to read-- and jump off from to read other blogs. I hope I can qualify for the give away.

  20. I'd like to be included in your drawing as well. When I shuttle tat, I like to use an Aero, and I'd like to try an English one.

  21. I thought you were kind by letting your book travel and I'm happy to be on that list. Now you'll even share a coveted shuttle! That's very generous and I'd like to have a chance to own it. I tat with my Aero (not English) as Sh1 and Clover as Sh2 on most projects. Karen in OR

  22. I've not tried this type of shuttle! Plz add my name to your drawing : ) Always, L.

  23. This is pretty awesome of you (all of you!) to host this giveaway. I'd love to be entered in your draw. I love the Aero's and this one would look great with my other English Aero. Despite what Sally says, the shuttle should stay here in Canada! Thanks again.

  32. If there's still time, please include me in your drawing!! The cluny snowflake is absolutely gorgeous. Where can I find the pattern?

    ReplyDelete
  33. *gasp* I was stunned to find my name NOT on Maebh's "check it twice" list. I know I responded to this earlier...I probably didn't do the word verification thingy correctly or something.

    Yes, please, I would like to be entered into your drawing. (32 is a lucky number for me, so I hope I am entry #32.)

  34. Tatteristic and Is'Dihara, No worries; Maebh has written you both down on the list, albeeit in grape juice. Is'Dihara you are indeed #32.

    Fox per Maebh : )

  35. And is it too late for me? I want to join the fun!

    Ms. Fox, you are too kind!

  38. Kersti, you are on the list. I had to go scrambling to a translation page for your saying, (Maebh would NOT tell me) which I have posted in English for the edification of all not Irish! Thanks for the saying - love it!

    'May your threads never tangle, you can always slide your knots.'
