Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day!

Giveaway #2
Meet Miss Petunia, an adorable green and purple hedgehog from Half Pint Knits!  Miss Petunia is a well mannered hedgehog and would never dream of poking anyone with her quills, but her eyes and nose may not be suitable for very young children.  Miss Petunia is a tiny little gal (5 inches long and 3 inches tall) and she loves to take long naps, so she comes along with her very own matching quilted nap mat that I made especially for her.  Would you like to give Miss Petunia a home?  Just leave a comment below telling me what kind of knitted critter would make a good friend for a lonely little hedgehog.

I'll draw a winner on Saturday, May 26 using the Random Number Generator.  The winner will be notified by email, so if you are a no-reply blogger make sure that you leave your e-mail address with your comment.

Visit Half Pint Knits Etsy Shop to find more hand-knit items for children of all ages!

Don't forget to check out all of the other fantastic giveaways this week at Sew, Mama, Sew!

Love the hedgehog - how about a turtle to go with it?

stitchinpenny said...

I think the hedgehog needs a little skunk as a friend since both can be a little off-putting.

fern said...

That is adorable!! A little skunk or fox would be a great friend. Or a chipmunk! Although a squirrel would have a great opportunity for a big bushy tail! Thanks for the giveaway!

Needled Mom said...

That is so adorable. I think he needs a squirrel friend with a big, fluffy tail.

Kathy H said...

I love the hedgehog and the little blanket is just beautiful too. I think a little bird would be a very good friend to a hedgehog as she could fly up ahead and make sure the way was safe for her little friend.

Jeni said...

Hmmm. love the hedgie. A good friend would be something completely different from the hedgehog...maybe an owl?

Michelle said...

maybe a possum?

Shana Putnam said...

I think a sqirrel, owl, or a possum would be good friends for such a cute hedgehog!

hafza said...

I choose a mouse to accompany him!!

Bethany said...

We have several crocheted turtles hanging around the house that my daughter made and I think they would get along well with the hedgehog.

Sis-O said...

I love her! I think the skunk would be a great companion.

brody's mom said...

How abouy a meercat, he could be lookout for trouble.

Anonymous said...

Are you kidding me? He is DARLING all on his own! I bet he would look super cute sitting next to a black and white RACCOON!!

Trish said...

I noticed someone said meercat... I'll second that.

Ida from Central PA said...

She's just precious! I think she needs a beaver friend. :) [Great opportunity for felting the tail].

Candace said...

It needs a little brother or little sister to go with it. It's all about family!!

Adorable!! I think a cute little bunny rabbit would be a good friend to the hedgehog, though someone else's idea of a squirrel is also great!

I Love the hedge Hog , he is so cute with the purple looking fur , I think a cute little brown bunny rabbit with extra long ears would be really cute with this with a purple bow. Thank you for the chance of this giveaway !

Dolores said...

What about a bushy tailed squirrel?

Jessie Hay said...

A little possum friend would be perfect! :)

Jeannie D said...

Love hedgehogs! Grew up with Beatrix Potter and one of Peter Rabbits friends was Mrs. Tiggy Winkles, a hedgehog. So, how about a sweet (or naughty!) bunny?

Habibti at Home said...

Oh how cute!!! We used to have a Real hedgehog and he always loved our dog so I would say a mini puppy. :)

Laura said...

Maybe the hedgehog could be friends with a llama or a donkey. If he wants a friend his own size....a bunny or squirrel???

Amy said...

I agree with some of the others... a squirrel would make a lovely friend. Such a cute little project!

Lindsay said...

oh! a little owl! :)

how absolutely adorable!! i think she (surely that cute little purple darling is a she) needs a ladybug friend. thanks for the opportunity and have a great day

The Sewing Dork said...

A butterfly comes to mind. They're kind of opposites, but you could easily incorporate so many colors!

Helen said...

Gorgeous little hedgehog. I think he would like to have a squirrel friend -two little cuties together.

sh said...

I have a little friend who would love 'Hedgie"

Hippie Housewife said...

A hedgehog needs a cute little skunk friend!

Judy said...

Perhaps a snake or a rabbit. Very cute.

Deb (Two Cheeky Monkeys) said...

Perhaps a fox or a bunny? Thanks for the chance.

Mhairi said...

I know they normally eat them but I think that Miss Petunia needs a snail to share her mat and listen to her dreams.
I love this hedgie and she would fit in very well on my sewing table. She could keep me company as I sew and help me with my colours and designs.

Jackie said...

Thanks for the adorable giveaway!

I think a turtle would be an adorable partner. He could ride around on his shell, haha!

jackieinmi67@gmail.com

Irina said...

maybe a little raccoon ... it's really cute! thanks for the chance!

Debi said...

I think it would be darling to have a caterpillar for a friend of this little adorable hedgehog.

Laura said...

A pig would be the perfect partner!

Amy said...

How about a cute little owl?? Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

Vesuviusmama said...

I think a hard-shelled critter would make a good friend for a hedgehog - perhaps an armadillo?

Momto3inIL said...

Love the colors and the matching quilt for the little hedgehog! Does the hedgehog need family to go with it? Thank you for the chance to win momto3inil at gmail dot com

So cute! I used to do educational programs in a museum with a real hedgehog! A flying squirrel would make a great friend. They are both shy! irw@hughes.net

claire said...

The hedgehog is adorable. How about a rabbit for a friend?

Ginny Axtell said...

Lesley said...

I think the hedgie could use a little pink mouse friend to share the quilt. Super cute! Love hedgehogs.

VickiT said...

Oh my gosh ~ that is just the cutest little hedgehog. And in my favorite color too. It would be VERY hard for me to part with that (IF I CAN) but I would love to win this and pass it on to my adorable little Granddaughter.

What's really funny after reading some other comments as I scrolled down to the box to make my own comment was that I saw many others saying the same as me. The very first thing that came to mind when you asked for a little buddy for Petunia was a cute little skunk. The black and white would be great with the colors you've chosen to make Petunia out of.

Flannel Farmer said...

How about a porcupine, to keep things "sharp"? Love this little one!

Sarah said...

I think a skunk would be adorable or maybe a little masked raccoon. This little gal is so cute!

Desi @ Wee Share said...

I think a squirrel would be the perfect friend :)

TheFancyFritter said...

My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with the color purple right now so she would love this fun little friend! He is adorable! He might need a fun orange, squirrel buddy! ;-) thanks so much!

Joanna said...

Hmm for a hedgehog I think either a skunk (already a popular suggestion I see) or a badge. :) Unless you plan on making them to scale.. then, maybe a kitten or perhaps a baby bunny? (Trying to think hedgehog size. ^_^ )

He's adorable btw. ^_^

principeta said...

he's very cute. I think he would love a monkey friend.

Appie said...

So cute! I vote for a "little" baby dinosaur.... maybe in the green color to coordinate with the purple.

Melanie said...

OM Goodness! I cannot believe the cuteness of Miss Petunia! I have to agree with all those other comments that suggested a wee little skunk friend! Thanks for sharing :)

Jodi said...

She is just lovely. Would have to explain the difference between hedgehogs and echidna's to my Daughter but I think she would love it.
I think a good hedgehog friend would be a rabbit.

Anonymous said...

I think she needs a mouse for a friend! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!

Kathleen said...

Why, another little hedgie, of course! Or maybe a ferret -- imagine the trouble those two could get into!

Binks said...

So cute! I think she needs a rabbit friend. As a bunny owner I looked into suitable playmates for rabbits and a hedgehog was one of them. They'd be so cute together.

Laurel09 said...

i love the hedgie! they are a common animal in UK, so other common critters are badgers and foxes, which would make a good friend for your hedgie :)
