Happy Monday Everyone! Happy September! And Happy Labor Day to those in the US and Canada. Even though fall doesn’t official begin until September 22nd, for me Labor Day weekend always seems to be that bridge between summer and fall. So for today’s vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern I’ve chosen this beautiful Covered Bridge pattern. It’s from a new batch of…
Happy Monday Everyone! I love the sweet simplicity of the lazy daisies in the vintage Workbasket Embroidery pattern that I’m sharing today. As I was getting the pattern image ready to post, I was thinking how pretty the three motifs would look if you centered the heart over top of the curly q design with the small daisy motif centered…
Happy Monday! With fruit canning season in full swing here in southwestern Ontario, I thought this week would be a good time to share this vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern for a variety of summer fruits.

Today’s vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern is the third in the series of Days of the Week Brownies that I’m sharing during July and the first part of August. Did you go to Brownies when you were a child? I did and so did our two daughters. The motto when I was a girl was “Lend a Hand.” It has since…
Last week, I shared the first pattern in the set of vintage Workbasket Days of the Week Brownies. Today for Vintage Embroidery Monday, I’m sharing the second pattern in the set. Our little Tuesday Brownie is trying so hard to move that heavy iron. I sure hope it’s turned off or that she’s wearing oven mitts! To change the brownie…
