I am thoroughly enjoying blogging. I love reading your comments. And I figure since it's the giving time of year I'm wanting to do a giveaway! So the top picture is a detail of one of my crazy quilt pillows. This pillow is made from a quilt which was hand-stitched in 1924. The bottom of the pillow is made of eco-friendly hemp, hand tea-stained, and the filling is kapok. Love mother earth, dudes. So, if you wanna win this pretty baby just leave a comment here and I will pick a winner on Christmas day.
On the enhabiten homefront, I'm working on a large custom order today and hoping to complete it so I can ship it off to a lovely customer and get on with buying a few presents for my offspring. Don't read this part, children, but Mommy hasn't gotten you any presents yet.

You can imagine how I practically jumped for joy when I saw your tweet about this giveaway. I have been admiring your work for some time, and ever since I first saw those pillows I have swooned for them. I don't usually enter giveaways, but this one by far cannot be passed up and is the best ever. Thank you for the lovely reads!

I'm not a frequent commenter, but I haven't missed a post, yet! I'm really glad you're blogging and would loved to be entered in the give-away. This crazy quilt has been reinvented into so many lovely items; I'd be thrilled to have this pillow if I'm the lucky one.
Love those cozy pillows! I have a quilt made in the 20's given to me by a childhood neighbor who has passed many years ago. She lived to be 97, died in the same house she was born in. She cooked on a woodburning stove her whole life, made her own butter, killed her own chickens, and gave us a weekly supply of fresh milk. Her name was Kate. I wonder who made the quilt you made the pillows from.
Thanks for the chance to enter your sweet giveaway. I really enjoy your blog and tweets.
I would LOVE one of your pillows Liane! It would be one of the best Christmas gifts ever. :)

Oh my goodness, Liane. Those pillows are GORGEOUS!
I would love to win one, who wouldn't?
Either way, I've really enjoyed this space lately and esp. the post about the NYT article. Thanks for being such a rad lady. Happy Holidays!
Please sign me up for this giveaway ~ !
p.s. Your blog is my new favorite (don't tell my other favorites, okay?). I'm very creatively inspired by your work and home, and you've made me remember how much I love scrounging for vintage fabrics, and that I shouldn't be neglecting the ones I already have scrounged.

What a perfect giveaway! I can't wait for my pillow order to arrive, but am kinda kicking myself for not getting the 'crazy quilt' one as well. Maybe I could win it..?! Btw, love your blog :-)
I usually don't comment on posts for giveaways, but the love and history you've stitched together is a lovely holiday image for me.
I just got a sewing machine from my hubby and, as you may gather from my blog, crafting is not my forte but something that I believe has real cultural, personal, and environmental worth.
Wow, Liane- that is a nice giveaway. I'm really glad you started a blog- I've enjoyed reading it so much. :)
oh, love these! happy to receive the introduction to your blog through twitter. happy holidays to you and yours. i'll wish right here and now & hope to receive this gift. how special.

I am SO HAPPY you are blogging and it is SO COOL cool that you just so happen to blog more than once a day! You almost always manage to make me laugh. I love your honesty and quirkiness. I also love your design sense and have been more than once inspired by the things you find and share. So thanks Liane! xo abby

Thanks for all the awesome posts,
Lisa
Hi Liane... Thank you so much for giving someone the opportunity to win one of your lovely pillows. You and you wonderful Etsy shop have inspired me to do something I have always wanted to do... & that is to learn to sew and maybe one make a little vintage pillow of my own. I have collected vintage fabrics for many years but never had the courage to make them into something... You have given me that courage.... So thank you so very much.... Fiona :}
These crazy quilt pillows are gorgeous. Thanks so much for giving us the chance to have them!
Hello there, I found your blog via Etsy. You make lovely things! I was born in New Hampshire as well, and I just moved to Boston after living in NH most of my life. Your video made me ache for home...I love NH something fierce! Anyways, nice to "meet" you, and look forward to keeping an eye on your lovely shop.
Hi Liane :)
Not sure this giveaway is open to international readers, but I'll leave a little paw to say "hi" and say how much I enjoy your blog & your posts, even though I don't always comment on them.
Thank you for hosting this wonderful giveaway. All of your creations always make me drool :P
Have a great weekend ! oxox
lovely, lovely, lovely!
have had a crush on your work for ages now, but only recently discovered your blog! it's fun, i like it :)
the pillow is gorgeous ~ thanks for the giveaway.
love love the camper boots too btw.
when our second enhabiten pillow arrived, my husband worriedly asked me if I was going to start collecting your pillows! great idea! don't you think? i reminded him that three similar things is the start of an official collection. he knows the next one is coming but he's not sure when! they are really lovely and are often admired by our guests. p.S. congrats on all the recent PR!
best, melissa
oh i so wanted to be number fifty
well, really number one bazillion. but fifty is awesome too.
send that pretty thing my way, would ya!
liane--
you were one of my first customers (athomewithhenry vintage) and i have truly appreciated your repeat business.
sometimes you meet (or in this case see online) someone and think, "wow--i **so** get that person, because their values/feelings/passions/ideas/whatever mirror my own." that is the way i felt when i saw your recent etsy video! i have really enjoyed watching your business grow, and so enjoyed seeing a bit more of the woman behind enhabiten.
congratulations on your continued success, and happy holidays!
big hugs,
kat
Oh, wow, the pillow is pure loveliness. I'd be so so psyched to win it. What a great giveaway!
Love love love your etsy shop and blog- I can relate to the passion for things that are old or repurposed, and I have a real admiration for your dexterity with a sewing needle! Keep the posts coming, and I'm tossing my hat into the ring for a lovely quilted pillow- Merry Christmas!
Lauren

I just discovered your blog and am so very happy to be here ... it seems you are living a life that I always dreamed of so bravo! keep making this a lovelier place to be (the world, I mean) and sharing it with us! Happiest of holiday wishes to you & yours...
If it's open to international readers, please add me to the draw! This pillow is really special although I love my lavender one too so won't be too sad if I don't win :)

comments make me nervous. sometimes i think i say lots of stupid things. but really, i don't need to say much other than - - -
pretty please?
avec une cerise dessus? peut etre?
I really really really want this pillow because it is cool and I'm cool. So it belongs to me.
Well this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. I have recently returned to sewing after a 15 year lapse.I read your blog every day, and am constantly delighted by the re-use of vintage materials. I have just returned from visiting my 85-year-old mother across the other side of Canada. While there, I raided her sewing room and came away with some gorgeous 50-year old buttons from a dress I had in Holland as a child, as well as trim, ribbon and many other 'old' notions. I can hardly wait to use them on new creations. My Ukrainian grandmother (Baba) and I used to go and feel fabric textures for afternoon fun when I was in university. She called it 'feeling threads'. I have a couple of quilts and some crocheted lace she made. They are my dearest treasures. I would be honored to win one of your pillows.
