For the past two weeks, I’ve been sharing adorable vintage Workbasket patterns for children dressed up for Halloween. I have another young boy for you today. This time he’s dressed up as a pioneer boy heading off to school… complete with school book and an apple for his teacher! Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Pioneer Boy Heading Off to…
Wait until you see the Spooky Eyeballs Trick or Treat Bag I designed as part of Quilting Mod”s Sewing Challenge. Do you ever take part in sewing challenges? Or how about sewing and quilting swaps? Some of my most fun and creative ideas are the result of accepting sewing challenges or signing up for swaps. Back in July 2016, Afton…
Happy Monday! It’s now officially fall! It won’t be long until we’re into October and those of you with little ones in your lives might be turning your thoughts to Halloween. I have a series of adorable vintage Workbasket patterns that I’ve decided are children dressed in their costumes ready for Halloween fun. Last week, I shared this young boy…
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…

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.

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…
