Happy Monday Everyone! Welcome to another Vintage Embroidery Monday and Stitchery Link Party. To those living in the US, I hope that you’re spend the weekend enjoying time with family and friends as you take time today to remember those who have given their lives in the line of duty while serving in the United States Armed Forces. When my…
Happy Monday everyone! To those of you in Canada, Happy Victoria Day! With the US Memorial Day long weekend only a week away, I thought I’d share a smaller pattern that could be stitched in time. This pattern for the Liberty Bell was obviously sent out to Workbasket subscribers sometime during 1976 in celebration of the bi-centennial but you could…
Happy Monday! Last week, I shared an adorable, vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern for a family of a hen and her chicks. Well every family needs a father, so this week I’m sharing the pattern for the rooster. Stitch up one or both patterns to add a bit of whimsy to your farmhouse decor. Or if farmhouse decor isn’t your thing,…
Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was full of sunshine and blue skies. A very welcome change indeed.

For me especially this year, spring is bringing with it a new sense of hope as the drabness of winter changes with the greening of trees and the soon to…
Do you find you need to take breaks from working on a larger project to do some small projects just so you can have the satisfaction of having a finish? I know that I sure do. I’m not necessarily tired of the larger project, I just need to switch to something different for an hour or two. One of the…
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…
Just a quick update… we had a wonderful family weekend with everyone here. Our two daughters and I even got in some mother/daughters time visiting local fabric stores on Saturday. The rest of the time was a blur of making as many of our favorite family meals as we could fit into the time they were here. Now it time…
