Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??

I love to craft and just can't sit still unless I'm concentrating on some type of hand work. I'd love to expand my knowledge of all types of embroidery which is my weekest skill at the moment.

I may stitch that one again for myself. The two I made were gifts. Well, enjoy the pattern and have a Happy Holiday! You're going to love seeing the catalogs. They're both really fun to look at!

At 4:38am on December 24, 2008, Pam Kellogg said…: Hi Kath, it took me awhile to find this pattern. My collection of vintage transfers is quite extensive! Anyway, I found it, I scanned it and I posted it to my blog today. Hop over and grab it and let me know when you stitch it so I can see a photo of your piece! Happy Christmas and Enjoy!

At 6:44am on December 20, 2008, Pam Kellogg said…: Hi Kath, I'm happy to dig it out and scan it for you. If you don't hear from within a week of New Year's, please drop me a message and remind me. I have a lot of vintage transfers including some new ones to put away so I need to get my boxes out anyway but I want to do that for you asap so I don't forget!

At 8:19am on December 19, 2008, Pam Kellogg said…: Hi Kath, finally saw your message to me regarding the photo design. That's a vintage Vogart transfer from my collection. I've actually stitched it several times. The next time I have my transfer collection out, I'll scan it and email it to you. It may take me awhile to find it as my transfer collection is quite large!

At 3:18am on September 26, 2008, Gina E. said…: Hi Kath,
Thanks for your comment on my blog and transfer book. Don't hold your breath until you see me stitching one of those designs; you'd be long gone before I do! I just had to add the book to my stash on the basis of there might be something in there that I will need one day...LMAO

At 9:57am on September 22, 2008, Averyclaire said…: Couldn't help but jump in on your applique coversation. I have one of Mary Sorenson's patterns also. Love it. Have you every tried the lightweight interfacing method of applique (I use the non-fusible kind). It works great for small pieces (not too tiny). You put right sides together, sew all around, slit the back and turn it, press and then applique it into place. I don't use this for everything, just sometimes.

At 6:20am on September 22, 2008, Kathleen Connors said…: I know Mary Sorenson has a very good reputation and great patterns. That's a good winter project. Don't forget that there are a variety of applique techniques to use for small applique pieces-sometimes needleturn works well for one kind, but since I came to needleturn late, I like to use the old 'English paper' method (similar to freezer paper, but uses basting instead of ironing the paper) for many things.
Keep me posted on your applique. K.

At 6:23am on September 21, 2008, Kathleen Connors said…: Kath, I'll be sure to post a photo when the qlt. is done, but I don't know when that will be since it is a "slow quilt". I may post a photo soon in WIP, because that is what it is! I'll take the photo and see how good or bad it looks at this stage...I've got some puckering, unfortunately, because I hand quilt without a hoop, breaking all the rules. I do a lot of basting, but still the fabric moves as I quilt it.
I'm the same as you-can't sit and watch tv, for ex. without having some hand applique or hand quilting to work on. Do you do applique? Kathleen

At 5:45am on September 21, 2008, Kathleen Connors said…: Hi: Bristol, CT is about a 30 min. drive from me, tho not far in miles. I don't know Bristol, because my relatives and shopping aren't in that area. Today is beautiful, like you said-sunny, clear and cool-beautiful. In fact, the house is chilly, on the north side especially. I have time today to hand quilt on my Hawaiian small lap quilt, which will keep my lap warm.
Happily sewing, Kathleen Connors

I see we are fellow New Englanders, but maybe you real Northerners don't really consider us in CT to be the real thing! Just kidding, of course. I love NE.
