Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Noel Blocks downloadable pattern. ************************ Welcome to Stitchery Link Party #35 For those who are newly subscribed or are visiting for the first time, every Monday I host a link party in which…
Many years ago, Dave and I started the tradition of putting up our tree the weekend before Christmas but I know that many people put their trees up much earlier. When we lived in the US, several of our neighbors decorated their tree this coming week as part of their preparations for Thanksgiving on Thursday. So this week’s vintage Workbasket…
When we were posted to Germany from the mid to late 80s, one of the things I came to love was the pealing of the bells each Sunday morning. The sound of the bells was never more beautiful than on the clear, crisp mornings leading up to the holiday season. This vintage Workbasket pattern for a trio of Christmas bells…
As I was searching through my vintage Workbasket pattern files for one to share with you, I realized that it’s been quite a while since I posted an alphabet pattern. This one is quite different from the ones I shared in the past such as the 2″ Floral Alphabet A to O (letters P to Z) and the smaller 1″…
We woke to big, fluffy, flakes of snow falling yesterday morning. I posted a short video on Instagram @supermomnocape for those of you who love seeing that first snow fall. By the afternoon it had all melted and today it’s supposed get up to 13 C… which is a good thing because I am definitely not ready for it to…
We’ve had a gloomy, rainy weekend here with winds cold enough to have me wearing a hat, gloves and fleecy for my morning walks. I’m in need of a bit of fun, cuteness and this week’s vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern for a pair of kitten potholders does the trick. After stitching the kittens, cut them out leaving 1/2″ seam allowance. …

First though, it’s time to share this week’s vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern. We are transitioning into fall here in the Northern hemisphere but depending on the colors used to stitch the trees, this pattern…
The first day of fall is this Wednesday, September 23rd. Despite a forecast for temperatures in the mid 20s C (mid 70s F), there are definitely signs that fall has arrived. The leaves are starting to turn and in some cases to fall. The hummingbirds that had been coming to our feeder have disappeared. And waterfowl are starting to form…
These band members just get cuter and cuter! Next week, I’ll be introducing you to the lead singer. (So far, I am managing to resist the temptation to give these characters names, but that’s not to say that there haven’t been a few silly story lines that have started running through this writer’s head… lol.) The pattern for this…
This week’s vintage Workbasket pattern is another in the series I began sharing two weeks ago. The first were these cute dancing veggies. Then last week was the winter squash playing a salt shaker. Today I’m sharing another member of the band. The veggies must be rocking it out because this sweet pepper is really drumming up a storm! Vintage…
