As this is the 25th Stitchery Link Party, I’ve decided to celebrate with a giveaway. (Scroll down for the details and rules for how to enter.) 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…
As I mentioned last week when I shared the final pattern in the dancing, singing, instrument playing and proposing veggie pattern set, there was one more pattern to add to the item that I embroidered them on. Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to find several more vintage Workbasket patterns to share here on the blog. On pattern page…
As I mentioned last week, I think I’ve saved the cutest in this sweet series of vintage Workbasket patterns for the last two weeks. Previously I’ve shared the couple dancing, various band members here, here and here, the lead singer and the back-up singer. Now today, I have this super sweet dancing tomato to share with you. She doesn’t have…
The past week turned into an unplanned blogging break. One of the sewing projects I was working on took longer than I had estimated and for the other, well… what was supposed to be a quick, fun project of sewing a new nightgown turned into correcting mistakes in the purchased pattern that I didn’t even notice until after I’d already…
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…
This week’s vintage embroidery pattern for rosemary and thyme is the last of the series of herbs I’ve been sharing and they are so appropriate for my week just past. Last Monday, during a trip to the library, I picked up the first season of a cozy mystery TV series on DVD called Rosemary & Thyme. I’ve really been enjoying…
It’s no secret to those who read my blog that I love ladybugs. I enjoy seeing them in my yard and gardens because I know these beneficial insects are hard at work eating aphids and other not so beneficial insects. In fact, I’ve declared it a sin to kill a ladybug! 😉 When Dave was tracing out this week’s pattern,…
As promised last week, here is the embroidery pattern for the small tulip to make matching napkins to go with the tulips I posted to make a luncheon cloth (small tablecloth.) Wouldn’t these all make a lovely set for Easter? You’d have to stitch really quickly though as Easter is this coming Sunday. This pattern is available as a pdf…
On Workbasket pattern page 79, they have the tulips for the luncheon cloth divided into two separate pattern pieces. As neither pattern would fit on a standard printer page, Dave divided the patterns into sections. This is section 1c of those patterns. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
As I mentioned last week, in the hopes of hurrying spring along I’m posting the Workbasket pattern for a Tulip Luncheon Cloth. Today I’m sharing Section 1b of that pattern. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
