Ready or not, it’s a new month (Hello July!) and I just put the latest free-with-purchase embroidery transfer up on the PatternBee website.
These little offerings are fun to put together. As always, some are sourced from my collection of vintage patterns and some are my own designs. I think this one reflects a wee Tasha Tudor influence. She has certainly been on my mind a lot this past week. Hope these gentle designs spark a few creative ideas of your own.
And to all the wonderful generous stitchers out there that keep contacting me with old embroidery patterns to share, I’m grateful. It’s always so exciting to find a rare pattern to restore and make usable again. However, my Wool Project Book is front and center right now, so I’m not accepting any more pattern-work until I see it safely off to the printer, which should be by summer’s end, if I'm lucky.
Also, please don’t submit your vintage patterns without contacting me first. I receive many duplicates this way and it takes time and postage to return them. Drop me a note if you have some questions, I'm always happy to chat with you.
Happy Stitching!
Thanks for posting these! The bird will be the perfect pattern for a friend of mine : )

I have several embroidery transfers that belonged to my Grandmother that span the 1920s through the 1960s. My Grandfather managed a Woolworth's store during much of that time and most of the patterns were from Woolworth's. I treasure the embroidered quilts and other items I have from my Grandmother and I enjoy using designs from her transfers for some of my own projects.
Have a wonderful vacation!
