QUILT and STITCHERY Patterns for SALE

On this post there are 4 offers for sale, since someone may purchase more than one item I will combine shipping.  Therefore shipping will be added to the final cost.  Sales to US only (sorry friends in Canada) I just don't want to deal with or worry there may be declaration forms to be filled out.  

#1 ~ DEAR JANE journal and pattern book by Brenda Manges Papadakis (autographed copy) ~  $40 plus shipping.

I looked on Amazon to find out the cost because I cannot remember what I paid for the book before I hooked the rug below.  If you click on the Amazon link (above) you will see what others are charging for the book.

The book is intact, no pattern pieces cut as I copied the motifs I wanted to use in my rug.  There are 160 pages in the book.  And it is fun to read what Brenda wrote to Jane Stickle as she replicated her quilt.

#2 ~ CROW CREEK pattern booklet by Denise Clason $5.50 plus shipping.  Unused booklet, first photo is of the front cover.

Back cover and subsequent pattern pages uncut.

#3 ~ WORTHY HANDS applique and stitchery by Pat Peak $7.00 + Sh.

#4 ~ SHOW ME YOUR GARDEN by Sarah Sporrer $20 +shipping.
The booket is uncut and has a total of 64 pages.

The sales will go to the first person to respond.  FYI, if you are a NO-REPLY blogger I will not be able to reply to you or send you a PayPal invoice.  So if you happen to be first but a NO-REPLY, the sale will go to the second to respond to the offer.

Good Luck,

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter to one and all.  Thought I'd show you some theme rugs I've hooked, some mohair bears and cloth rabbits I've made and a stitchery made with the Indygo Junction monthly series.

This is a design by Claire Murray and named Strawberry Patch.  It was a kit I purchased on e-bay when I thought it might be fun to hook with yarn.  Cute design but have no desire to ever hook an entire rug using wool yarn  or any other.  Perhaps using yarn here and there in a rug as embellishment, but not a whole rug.  BTW, this is way too clean and new looking for my tastes.

This pink bear has glass eyes and limbs are jointed using cotter pins.

The rug is a design by Sally Kallin of Pine Island Primitives called Harry.

A cloth painted rabbit made using a pattern by Hickety Pickety, and a hooked Easter egg. 

Another mohair bear made by me.

One of the monthly series quilt blocks designed by Sarah Sporrer, then with Indygo Junction.

Another mohair bear I made when I was gung ho about working with the expensive mohair and making dolls and bears was my 'go to' craft.  That is until I discovered hooking rugs.

And lest I should forget the 36" Edward Tulane rabbit pattern I designed and made several of.  But, I've lost interested in making this time-consuming, but loved rabbit.

Another hooked rug with rabbits is a design by Karen Kahle called, as you can see, Stop and Smell the Roses.

A rabbit design I hooked for someone and she was to finish up the background.  I think the bunny looks rather dapper. 

Almost forgot about this one.  It is a rabbit purse I designed and hooked but sold several years ago.

Well there you have it.....some entertainment eye candy.  Hopefully you thought they were all eye candy.  Have a wonderful happy Easter with family and friends.

February.... Really?

First of all, where has the time gone?  I'm not talking just about this past year, I'm talking about the last 15 years!!  When my ex and I were having this house built back in 1997, I started making cute individual applique pieces to put on a sofa table at the foyer to welcome guests and made one for each month of the year.  And so that the date would forever be remembered I embroidered the year of the birth of the house on each of my pieces. Oh dang, this was folded up in a drawer and the line you see isn't soil, it is a shadow from the fold.  These 12 designs are the art work of Sarah Sporrer.

Thankfully it has been a very mild winter this year as the last two winters were horrific here in Delaware.  But must admit these warm temps in January and February have my flora rather confused.  Here is one flower which was in full bloom the end of January but was closed up this morning when it was drizzling and overcast outside.  And of course there is a group of dead tree leaves with grass popping thru but for me it is a little too early to go weeding and mulching.

And of course the daffodils are wanting desperately to pop out in bloom; you can see the yellow tops ensconced and protected from the cold until time to unfold.

I'm between hooking projects with two rugs which now need to be bound.  Since binding isn't my favorite thing to do I'm pulling out UFOs.   While I really have no interest in hooking them it is something to do while I decide the next project.  At least it will make a little headway toward a completion (I hope) and can suffer thru to get a few more loops pulled.
