Another Vintage Pattern For Embroidered Doily

This is another antique pattern from my collection. It's from a newspaper dated May 18, 1913:



As you can see, it barely fit on the scanner. Click on the image to go to my Flickr site where you can download the larger version.

I'm not sure I'd want to stitch all of those French Knots but you can substitute seed beads for them.

If anyone stitches this pattern, I would love to see a photo.

Enjoy!

New Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments

I didn't get any stitching in yesterday. My sweet husband took me to see Harry Potter. I loved it! I just can't wait for it to come out on DVD!

Anyway, I'll have time to finish up the blue santa ornament later today. I'm starting to get things together for our trip to Kentucky on Wednesday but the majority of packing will be tomorrow.

I worked up these seam treatments quite awhile ago and have been saving them for right before our trip thinking it'll give you something play with while I'm away:







I've used all of these on my projects and they are lovely! I use 8.5 count waste canvas and #5 perle cotton.

Click on any of the images to go to my Flickr site where you can download the large versions of the patterns. If you're new to my blog, I have a whole album filled with charted seam treatments. Look for it on the right hand side of my Flickr site.

I'm off to get some more things together but please stop by tomorrow to see my finished santa ornament!

Some Finishing

I did the finishing on a few things yesterday. I like to wait until I have 3 or 4 projects to finish and then do them all at once.

Anyway, my first finish is on these little Comfort Cat Dolls for Pats Comfort Doll Project:



I absolutely love making these! So there will be more. My first one came out to be about 7 inches high and Pat asked for dolls that were 6 inches. I just shortened my pattern a bit and they're the right size now. Can't you just see a whole basket of these little kitties?

The next finish is my little embroidered squirrel:



I made him into a doorhanger for my aunt for her birthday. This design is from my vintage transfer collection.

I also had time to stitch a bit on my Blue Santa Ornament:



All that I have left to do is to add my little kitty and few more little snowflakes and this will be ready to sew together.
