I am raffling the above pictured embroidery hoop, with all proceeds going to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

The pattern is a lovely sunflower, hand stitched onto light blue 100% cotton fabric, and finished in an Elbesee 4" wooden embroidery hoop. It would make a lovely gift, or could be propped up at home as wall decor, or placed on a shelf. 

How it works:

Each raffle ticket costs £5. Donating £5 will give you 1 entry to the raffle, donating £10 will give you 2 entries, £20 will give you 4 entries, and so on. 

Please be sure to leave your full name (and instagram handle) so that I can let you know if you have won the embroidery hoop!

I will announce the winner on my Instagram stories on 2 April 2022! (If you don't follow me already, my Instagram handle is @mindfulmantra_embroidery)

How else can I donate?

As well as raffling the finished original embroidery hoop, I am also selling the digital embroidery pattern and full embroidery kit, with 100% of the profits going to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal. If you'd like to have a go at making this hoop for yourself, you can find the embroidery pattern here:
