Over the next seven weeks, I’ll be posting another set of chore day embroideries. This time with the most adorable snails you could possibly ask for. First up is Snail Bake Day. The Snail Bake Day pattern is available as a pdf to download here.
This week has been a fun week for finishes. First, I completed this Snowman and Moose embroidery. I bought this as a kit during the quilt shop going out of business sale that I posted about during the summer. It has been my on-the-road project and sitting waiting at the laundromat project so it’s taken a while to complete it.…
The Small Acorn embroidery pattern is the last of the patterns from the vintage Workbasket Pattern Sheets that I’ll be sharing this year. I hope you’ve enjoyed the patterns I’ve shared so far. As I mentioned last week, Vintage Embroidery Monday will be returning in the new year with another Day of the Week set of pattern. They are super cute!…
We’re down to the second last of the embroidery patterns from the Workbasket Pattern sheets that I’ll be sharing this year. This week I’m sharing the Large Acorn and next week I’ll be sharing the Small Acorn pattern. And then Vintage Embroidery Monday will be taking a break until the beginning of the new year when I’ll be sharing another…
Part 2 of the Pheasant embroidery pattern especially brings back memories. I was about 7 when my Dad brought home an English Setter puppy. He bought her thinking that he’d raise English setters but that never happened and somehow we attached ourselves to each other and she became my dog. I called her Patches. After a bit of searching I…
This next two part pattern reminds me of fall back when I was a teenager. On those last days before the long Alberta winter set in I would go for walks with my dog, Patches and we would sometimes flush out a ring neck pheasant from the tall grasses. Part 1 of the Pheasant pattern is available for download here.…
We’ve had a really busy time the past few days and then we were traveling yesterday and I forgot to post the pattern for Vintage Embroidery Monday, so here it is today. This butterfly would look spectacular with each area worked in different colours of satin stitch. The pattern is available for download as a pdf here.
This week I have this beautiful flower planter to offer for you to embroider. The pattern wouldn’t fit completely on one page and it didn’t make sense to create an additional page for just that tiny portion so if you look in the upper right hand corner you’ll find the top of the pattern with markings to help you line…
Last week I shared with you the butterfly pattern I used to make a sachet for an ill friend. I had also embroidered the back of the sachet with flowers and leaves. The pattern I used is from a separate Workbasket pattern sheet which I’m sharing with you today. You might notice that I reversed the pattern for the…
While we were in Florida last winter, a new friend I’d met there was going through a tough time and finally ended up in the hospital diagnosed with kidney stones. I made her this little embroidered sachet to let her know that we were thinking about her. I have allergies so wasn’t able to add lavender or other scent but…
