I have just finished stitching a half apron which I have had for some time. It was stamped with a crinoline lady and I worked the stitches with old embroidery threads that I have in my sewing box. I also crocheted the edges of the apron. You can see it on my blog (for those who don't know I now have a blog!!!!!)

It has gone quiet in here again...has anyone got anything to show? Just to get the ball rolling, I have added two photos to my 'slideshow' of two teatowels I have stitched, using Aunt Martha transfers (I think...or were they Vogel? I should have checked!). Here is the link.
I tried to add them to this post but it wouldn't upload, so I just added them to my photo album thingy here.

Hi Maureen, I just dropped by here to see what is happening in the world of vintage transfers, and read your post. Of course I had to visit your blog then, and look at your motifs - lovely! I wish I'd had the mistletoe motif last Christmas; I had to make one up for a fabric postcard, and I was not happy with the result!

Hi, I have started adding some motifs I've done, along with drawings for others to use, on my new blog. Some I make up myself, but most are vintage embroidery designs. I never iron them on to my crazy quilt projects, however. I like to use Golden Threads quilting paper, trace the motif on, stitch, and tear it away. I hope you'll take a look. Maureen

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know I'll be out of state from early tomorrow until Saturday, March 28, 2009 because we are going to visit our son, his wife and meet our newest granddaughter. We will be driving out and back and are hoping for good weather. See you all when we get back!

Oh thank you, ladies! I just wish I had time to do more with my transfers. I've got a box of them, and about a dozen plain tea towels ready to have designs ironed on to them, but I've also got a cupboard full of PHDs (Projects Half Done) and SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), so unless one of my friends asks me to do a tea towel for them as a gift, I probably won't be doing another one for quite a while :-(

Gina, just linked over to see the tea towels you made. I love them, what a great job you did.

I love the teatowels. They are adorable

Gina E, the towel looks great. I love the picture. :)

Hi all, I have just finished stitching my Vegetable Waltz teatowel for a friend, and am really happy with the result. You can see it on my blog (Patra's Place of Vintage Linens), for which you will find a link on 'My Page'. Sorry I can't do that here, but my PC has crashed, so I'm using my husband's laptop, and I'm still getting used to the XP operating system! (My old PC used Windows ME...)
