New Pattern and a PDF BOM!

 Remember this guy? Well it is now available at my Etsy Shoppe as an instant downloadable Block-of-the-Month! You can download 1 pattern or all of them right now! And best of all, no shipping!
 I love that, don't you!

And Pumpkins and Squirrels is now officially a pattern. Available on my website today!
SO...after a busy week of pattern writing and PDF converting, I am now ready to start a new project. Hmmm...what will it be? Probably something quilty, but I am also thinking about Halloween home decor. 
What are you working on this fall?

Three Tokens and crushed walnuts!

Happy Fall!
Three Tokens is a quick and simple little pattern consisting of 3 designs that you can use however you wish! Stitchery, embroidery, wool applique, punchneedle, the sky is the limit! This is an instant download available at Etsy and on my website.

And...
 If you decide to make yours into a pincushion, I am also offering crushed walnuts for your filling! Crushed walnuts make the *BEST* filling for pincushions! It is heavy which gives such a wonderful vintage feel, plus your pincushion stays where you put it. No more traveling around your sewing table! 
Crushed Walnuts come in a handy 1 cup size, the perfect amount for a 5 inch pincushion.
I am offering them here at Etsy.

Enjoy!

New Autumnal Offerings!

Finally! LOL!
Sorry if the title seems hoity-toity! 
I just love using the word"autumnal"!!!

Any-whooo! Here are my 2 newest offerings on TDIPT this month!

First is a little pincushion that I designed. It is actually a proto-type for a new pattern that will have 3 pincushion designs in it. The pattern should be ready some time next week.
It is all made of wool-do you like it?
And next is an awesome table runner, also soon to be a pattern. I am super excited about how this one came out! It really was fast, I did it in like 2 days! The pattern should be out week after next. It is called Squirrels and Pumpkins.
Isn't it great! To see more details visit the TDIPT website.
Thanks for looking!

Just really nothing to show...

I've been so busy getting my son off to college,
getting my daughter started in fall soccer,
attending end of the summer picnics.

YOU NAME IT!!!

That I haven't had much time to work on new WOOLIE patterns,
or finish old CROSS STITCH ones!

BUT, there is hope for the future!
Son is off and starting his new life, 
dd starts school TOMORROW!
And I have a new pack of wool sitting on my work table calling my name!

I'm baaaack!!!

I have actually been back since LAST Friday, 
but it has taken me a week to get organized,
get unpacked,
get all of the laundry done
and try to slip peacefully(not!) back into everyday life!
While on vacation I got 2 blocks from myOLDEST applique WIP, "War and Pieces" done! I worked on them in the car as we drove from Niagara Falls to Quebec City, and then from Montral to Michigan-the 2 longest driving legs of our trip. So here are my blocks so far:
I am excited to have this many done and I have started block 6!
Happy Stitching!
