Berta doesn't really know who the winner is , sorry about that ...... It's just that I found this book at the Vinnies with a great title , fantastic cover and then I read the authors name , Berta Ruck!
Do you think that's really funny or is it just me ?
I do have a winner for my "Flutterby" stitchery pattern though .
You won't believe this I've just looked inside the book and Berta Ruck dedicated this book to her sister , guess what her name is , Hester Agnes Onions !
I should probably tell you who is the winner of my giveaway.... the winner is Joy from Joypatch . I am just so glad she doesn't have an unusual name . Joy if you could please email me your address I will have your pattern fluttering off to you .
Thanks to all who entered your feedback is appreciated .
If you would like to buy a copy of my "Flutterby" pattern contact me by email .
If you would like your craft store to stock my patterns wholesale enquiries are welcome .
I'm off now to see how else Berta Ruck can amuse me .

Is that an old "Mills and Boon" book- dare I say I used to love them when I was a teenager!Tis a funny name. I love your blog and yoiur beautiful delicate butterfly sitchery... and thanks for nice comment xx
Congrats to Joy. Yes you put a smile on my face this morning. ALL those weird names. Someone's making them up aren't they?
I remember Trixi Beldon books we had years ago. I always liked Trixi Beldon, sounds weird now.
I was just imagining myself after a wee drinkie trying to get Berta Rucks name right and then you hit me with Hester Agnes Onions - were these people for real? Way too funny Clare. I'm laughing right along with you.
Congrats to Joy.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Well done Joy. Great names. They've got to be real, who could make them up?? Loved the Trixie Beldon books too. You've gotta be a nice person when you name is Trixie!
Well done Joy. Enjoy your stitchery.
So generous of you Clare.
Hugs,
Anna
Those names are a hoot!

Congratulations to the winner - enjoy. That is just too funny. Thanks for the laugh today!
Love the book, especially the sisters name! Sensational.
Hi Clare, I think poor Hester drew the short straw. Is the book any good? The couple on the front look very serious. What is on the picture they are looking at? Kate x
