Angel heads

Pattern here!

I've been itching to stitch this kitschy little angel head for awhile now, so I was tickled to see Julie's awesome version. Read more about her project on her blog.

It's almost Christmas time!

And what better way to celebrate than to feature all the stuff you guys made with the Holiday patterns? I could hardly keep up with all the Holiday goodness!

Look at this bundle of ornaments Melissa made:

free pattern #1 and free pattern #2

And look at this festive Eskimo and boy on a scooter by Rebekah

The spirit of French knots reigns here!

Also take a look at:
Chrisi's ornament
Loulee's festive holiday doggie
Claudia's scooter onesie

Geez, you guys are warming the heart big time this Christmas! I'll be leaving soon to visit family for the holidays, but leave a comment if you've stitched anything, too! Happy Holidays to you all!!!!

I heart you guys - giveaway

Nothing warms the cockels of my heart like seeing finished items made from the freebies I've posted! Seriously, people, I feel so happy that you enjoy these kitschy patterns as much as I do, and enjoy them enough to stitch them! And, because I've been dying to do this for some time now, here are all your projects (that I've found) so far:

Claudia's apron


Keri's pillowcase


and Keri's "love chickens"


Heather's baking girl


and the VTF signature spices, immortalized by Julie!

Believe it or not, this is also my 99th post! Sheesh these posts added up quickly - I'm amazed my collection grew so quickly. In keeping with the giveaway theme I started on my embroidery blog, I'll do a giveaway here, too!

Want some vintage transfers?
Up for grabs: a few duplicate, cut or used Vogarts, duplicate Workbasket transfers, newer Aunt Martha's, a few crochet, sewing, and apron patterns. I promise to hand-pick the cutest stuff and mail it to the "winner."

How to win the drawing:
Leave a comment here with your name and preference for free patterns - example - "only Vogart", only "Aunt Martha's" or "gimme anything you got..." etc. Tell me a little about yourself, if I haven't met you yet, and what your favorite pattern is that I've posted!
