This is really lovely. If I were to win, I'd love these words on it:
Maternal love was kindled that sweet hour,
Burned deeper o’er the coming years replete.
Love multiplied sixfold drew greater power,
‘Til all her children flourished in its heat.
It's from a poem I wrote for my mother a few years ago.
Thanks!
Lovely! Please enter my name. I love Marge Piercy. These words from "Colors Passing Through Us" would be perfect, i think:
"Every day I will give you a color,
like a new flower in a bud vase
on your desk. Every day
I will paint you"
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

If I were to win, I'd choose this quote from Desiderata:
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
to quote a girl i know, "pick me! pick ME!" hee, hee. and if you do pick me ('cause, except that cancer thing, i really am very lucky) you have to let me win the prize. none of that Oh no one will believe it wasn't rigged nonsense. hee. okay, i don't think the whole poem will fit so i'm just adding the end part. it's the poem i wrote for which i named my blog: "i am awakening.
i am becoming.
i am transforming.
i am soul humming."
the pinafore is adorable! lucky, lucky!

"In the depths of winter I learned there was in me an invincible summer." I like the idea of the fragility and complexity of your art combined with this quote to remind us to always look for the joy in life -such as art and creating and when you do combine simple threads and fabric you create something that is strong.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
I was going to use the quote in your header, but decided that was cheating. So I chose another Rumi quote: “Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.”
If you have time, please stop by. I'm number 351 on the OWOH page.

Ruth, this is such a special giveaway...I love it! I have spent the last 45 minutes trying to figure out my favorite quote...there are so many! :-)
Through the highs and lows of my life I seem to always come back to the following Buddhist Proberb..."When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."...and you know what? I think it's true! I believe the secret is to keep your mind and heart open to learning new things...then you are always ready, right?
Thank you for offering your wonderful art to the world through OWOH...you are beautiful Ruth! Hugs, Carol

A poem for this whole wonderful experience! to create something so exquisite as poetry dresses, they seem to etch the words into something more meaningful, like an antique memory to hold & cherish in the wearing..how dear & wondrous!
This is one of my faves:

How special if I were to win. I'd like: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
Thanks for the chance to win. Blessings, Karen
I love this
My late father wrote poetry and had many published. I'd like a part of one of his published peices on it if I win.
I never paint on canvas
the pictures that I see
I never have mere mortals
to sit and pose for me
I simply find my easy chair
when everything is quiet
and paint my pictures down in verse
While all alone at night.
If this is too much I could think of something shorter. I'd just love something of his on it!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I am so glad i stopped by. You are so creative and talented!!My favorite word is Enchantment but I would love to have words to one of my BF's songs or my favorite Band Trouble's lyrics:)This is such a cool giveaway. I look forward to visiting again!!

How to find new words to tell you how lovely this is? After 200+ comments I'm not sure that I can. Oh to be a better wordsmyth! Because then the fantasy could be that the words would woo you into choosing me! But really, even if my name is not chosen, it makes me happy just to know that such a lovely pinafore exists. I am sure that it will go to a good home, and I can come back and visit your lovely creations on your blog (or in your book about charms, which I love!) whenever I want. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! I feel silly asking but will you come and see my offering on my blog?
Oh! and, just in case, I've got to go with the Anais Nin quote: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Now she was a wordsmyth. Cheers!
Greetings from Scotland Ruth ... I'm a huge fan of your artwork, this is such a fantastic giveaway, please count me in your draw, I'd love to win a piece of your art.

What an original giveaway! Please count me in, I would be delighted to have it :) If I do, I'd like a few words from Victor Hugo : "Par-dessus l'horizon aux collines brunies,

Many thanks to you, have a nice day!
