thursday = embroidery

Happy embroidery day!

Before I get to this week’s pattern I wanted to share a lovely gift I got in the mail last week from my mom’s friend K:


Aren’t they great! She sent a big pile of stamped linens & other assorted neat things, how lucky am I?! I know she sometimes reads the blog so I’d like to send out a big THANK YOU to her!

For today’s pattern I have selected a sheet from the batch I got last weekend:


It was loose & doesn’t have any mention of a manufacturer printed on it…anyone have an idea of its pedigree?

I don’t have many asian themed patterns so I was pretty excited when I discovered it. I thought it might be nice on a tea towel...

Have a lovely evening!

p.s. I am still doing embroidery, cross {stitch} my heart! I actually have a finished project to share but have to wait until it’s given before I can post photos. And I’ve started a new project, but it’s going to take quite awhile because it’s a rather large & detailed image {plus I’m a slow stitcher!}. I was thinking about joining in on the Feeling Stitchy banner contest but just don’t have time right now…but you should totally do it!

Yay! What a great haul! Any chance of a can of that "east or west home is best sampler"? purty please??
I haven't seen the Asian lady pattern before, but she is very lovely.

oh, I love the asian lady! The only asian patterns I have seen are in vogart 188, but I know this isn't from that pattern. check viki's patterns over at pattern bee, she always lists the pattern source for the ones she sells.
