We can all thank Kathryn Heathcote for this week’s giveaway. Kathryn went to great lengths to coordinate a photo shoot for Anna of Zimmery Designs and Sewing recently and wrote a fabulous article to promote the Launceston-based business owner. Anna was kind enough to offer this dream cushion to Think Tasmania as a small reward for all the time and effort involved in shining the spotlight on her work. And now of course, we’re shining that spotlight back again with this giveaway!
Dream cushion: satin fabric, golden thread lace appliques
Dream Cushion: Zimmery Designs Keepsake
Kathryn has had the dream cushion in her safe-keeping since the photo-shoot, ready for one lucky Think Tasmania reader to win. She says of the prize… “It’s a one off. It’s made from angel skin satin fabric with golden thread lace appliques and some fur. It matches the Queen of Tasmania dress which is made from the same fabric. Anna calls it a dream cushion, and it’s valued at $100.”

As we’ve said before, the competition rules on Facebook are all too hard, so we’re going to keep this in-house. We’re also going to keep it REALLY simple. If you are subscribed to receive the free newsletter from Think Tasmania, you are eligible to enter. Apparently a random draw is still allowed in Tasmania without applying for a permit, so here’s what you need to do…
Step 1 – be a subscriber to the FREE newsletter from Think Tasmania*
Step 2 – leave a reply at the bottom of this article.
And that’s it! This will be a random draw, so comments won’t influence the outcome. But if you’d like to leave any feedback about Zimmery Designs; your personal desire to win this prize, or even Think Tasmania… we’d love to hear it. We’ll be closely following all the comments. We won’t reply individually because that would upset the giveaway app (it might award us the prize if we comment!!).

What a lovely unique cushion, if I won this I would display it on my bed as the colours are soft and match my comforter set.

OMG! Anna’s stunning cushion would look amazing on my bed! Right in the middle as a centre piece among my others (none anywhere near as delish as this one). I once heard you can tell when a woman is ovulating… she comes home with MORE cushions! Nesting instinct!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! WHAT BEAUTIFUL DETAILED WORK. WOULD SIMPLY LOVE TO HAVE THIS CUSHION ‘LIVE’ AT MY HOUSE!
Gorgeous, jealase not got your tallent.
my bed is the perfect home for this cushion
I would absolutely love this cushion! And whilst I would love to keep it myself, I think I would actually give it to my beautiful friend that was recently married. She had a vintage themed wedding and this would be a perfect memento to remind her of that wonderful day.
So pretty – shades of Paris and Audrey hepburn there! Love it!!
The detail on this is just lovely 🙂
Dream a little dream of Tasmania!
