Oh, this has hat & mittens, not slippers. But it is #170 of the series so likely same line as the one you had!

I’d be really interested in the book if not already swooped up! I will not be ripping pages up and making master boards from it!

Excellent! PM me your address and I’ll put together a package for you. Do you prefer to be surprised or would you rather I take pics and you choose from the offerings?

Please message me with your address if you would like any items on my list below!

I haven’t been around for awhile, so am quite late to this party, but have spent the last few days reading through this thread. So much fun and awesomeness being shared!

We are in the middle of renovating our kitchen so I am not able to properly check, but I think I have a few things that I see people have asked for. And more than a few things I want to ask for too. :wink:

1 - For now, I know I have a box of ribbon that I got way too carried away thinking I was going to make baby taggy things, so if anyone needs 10mm (3/8") satin or grosgrain ribbon with a particular colour or pattern I may be able to assist.

2 - (mostly) vintage patterns from my grandmother’s stash. She was very careful with her patterns and usually traced the size she wanted onto separate paper, if it was multi-size. I haven’t checked them, but they should all be complete. These aren’t in sets, so choose any you like.





3 - lots of cross stitch patterns, mostly from a periodical I was getting. Too many to individually post, but there are samplers, flowers (big patterns and motifs), fonts, various other motifs and patterns, cartoony characters, a wizard image, at least one large landscape piece and some teddy bears. As an example, here’s a few patterns.

And for anyone who wants to stitch something up but doesn’t want to do the counting, here’s a printed apple motif. I used to have the pic of what it looks like made up, but not sure where that’s gone…

4 - I got a massive tub of mostly floral fabric scraps and some larger pieces from my grandmother’s stash. I am sure I won’t NEED it all, so if anyone needs florals, big or small, pink, blue, purple, peach and more for THAT project then let me know. I’ll see what I can find.




5 - Miscellaneous novelty fabrics (not sure about the first one)
