Happy Almost Fall Monday! I’ve got a really cute series of vintage Workbasket embroidery patterns to share with you over the next several weeks. The pattern page doesn’t say what these are intended to be used on, but I’ve decided that the children are all dressed up for Halloween! First up… because we’re still having more summer-like weather (it’s supposed…
I’m so excited to share my version of September’s blocks for the In Our Garden BOM. This month’s designer was Pat Broe from Life in the Scrapatch. Isn’t that the perfect title for a blog about quilting! This month’s applique block is all about North America’s favorite fall fruit… the pumpkin. You may have seen an in progress shot @supermomnocape…
Happy Monday Everyone! Fall is fast approaching and that means the farmers’ markets are full of fresh picked veggies. So today I thought I’d share these vintage Workbasket patterns for broccoli, corn and carrots. They’d be fun to stitch on some kitchen towels. Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Broccoli, Corn and Carrots It’s rather tempting to drawing…
Today’s vintage Workbasket pattern features the lovely frames for the Curvy Alphabet that I’ve shared over the past two Mondays. Wouldn’t these look pretty stitched on a bookmark or perhaps a set of napkins. I’m also thinking that they could be enlarged slightly and then used to frame photos that you’ve printed or transferred onto fabric. Those could then be…
WOW… where did August go??!! With my sewing machines shoved into the center of the room and covered in plastic for most of August while we painted my sewing room/office, I didn’t get much chance to sew. Now I’m playing catch up! Kris over at Kris Loves Fabric was August’s designer for the In Our Garden BOM. Sunday afternoon found…
Happy Monday!! Today for Vintage Embroidery Monday, I’m sharing the rest of the Curvy Alphabet I shared last week. These would look so pretty stitched on the corner of a handkerchief or on a bookmark… perhaps for those times when you want to give a small gift of appreciation to someone.

Back at the end of July, Afton over at Quilting Mod issued a fun challenge. She would send a select few who commented on her post 12 fat eighths of Art Gallery Fabrics Round Elements. In return, those accepting the challenge were to create a finished work including at least some of the fabric and link up from Oct. 1-7. The…

As promised, today’s vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern is the mate to last week’s Happy Flowering Plant. Simply substitute this face for that one and you’ll have a boy plant. 🙂 Just as soon as Dave and I finish painting the sewing room/office and the new bookshelves that he custom built for me, I have a plan for these two patterns!…
Happy Monday Everyone! At least I hope it’s a happy Monday for you and if not, here’s something that’s sure to cheer you up! According to the Vintage Workbasket pattern, this little smiling plant is supposed to be made into a matching set of pot holders. (I’ll share her mate next week.) Wouldn’t she also look adorable on a tote or gift…
