Sale at Etsy Store

 

It's Christmas in July! I'm not really a fan of seeing holiday decorations at this time of year but I also know some people need to get started on gifts and decorations so I've put a selection of winter/Christmas patterns on sale for 20% off until August 4.

I'll be listing some new items this week at Etsy and over at Patreon. I have a new embroidery pattern and some free tatting patterns to list.

Fixed the tatted heart PDF

 

After finding the original PDF I put up at my patreon site was a mess I re-did it with charts. I think charts are so much easier to follow than written instructions. So far this tatting pattern and one for a fabric basket are up for free. There's no charge to sign up at patreon so it's all free.

Finally working on my Patreon site. This basket PDF is up for free.

A note about the tatted heart that's up. I deleted the PDF until I fix all the mistakes.

info on my Patreon site and more

 

I finally got around to posting something at my Patreon site. I've put this off for almost a year but I had everything ready to go today to get the last embroidery directions up and decided to stop putting dealing with Patreon. Here's the free pattern I listed.

I designed this tatted heart pattern in the 90's and used to have it up at my old tripod site. I closed that and all the free patterns went away. Now I plan on putting them up at Patreon for free. Later I may add a pay for membership but for now everything will be free. These hearts make cute pins and ornaments. perfect to make and give as gifts. Below is the link.

This site, NeedlenThread ,is my go to when I need inspiration. It's also a good place to see lots of embroidery stitches. I like it so much I recently joined Mary's Patreon site. I want to work on my straight stitch blending and know that working some of her projects will help.

We're working on corn flowers, which I've always called bachelor buttons, and it's been a nice break for me but of course it makes me fall behind in my other projects.

This is a picture of some things I've done. The felt and embroidered panda is from a painting class given by willowing.org. Tam has the most inspiring classes but when I saw this one I knew I had to do my own version in felt and embroidery.

The turquoise this is supposed to be a macrame leaf. I made it after taking a free class called making zen. I used to macrame a lot so it was fun to have a go again.

The felt heart is one I designed. It's going to have a bee or butterfly button added to it. I'm liking working with felt and have more than a few projects I'm designing. I'll tell you about one project, it's gnome girls! They will be another in my line of pincushions.
