We are having a book sale! There's a new home for my books on the PatternBee website. (Without the middle-man I am able to offer them at a reduced price). Yay! If you want a signed copy, let me know, I am happy to do it. Both of my books are still currently available on Amazon, but only through the Marketplace; I reactivated my old account (I used to sell a few used books and DVD's from time to time), my seller account is under the name candyheart. However, the best price is still through me directly, purchased from the PatternBee website. So make a note!
The 2017 Free Bonus Transfer is up; this month, featuring dainty hearts and a heavenly sleeping cherub. Oh. How I love long winter naps.
Also, the new vintage pattern additions for February are finished:
2016 Bonus Collection (that last year sure flew by, didn't it?)
Hugs all around to our dear stitching friends, who shared these little lovelies to add to the site. I've already started working on the new additions for March and April. Ah, spring is coming! But first, we have to get through fickle February, which has just arrived here with freezing rain in its pockets and snow following close on its heels. Just as predicted in the Farmer's Almanac; and you can hang your hat on that, it's rarely wrong. There's a stiff, cold wind blowing down from the north, whistling through the trees as I write. B-r-r-r.
A good day to fill up the soup pot and stitch. Cheers everybody!
Thanks for the free pattern! Very cute!
Hugs
Jane

Hello Vicki!
I just discovered your adorable blog through Becky J at iaquilters.com . I'd love to follow you, but the link on the lower left of your page doesn't seem to work! :O
Your writing style is so friendly and down-to-earth! I look forward to hearing back from you!

How awesome to have found an original kit! I still have my little doll made from that same kit. I do have other patterns for some really old embroidered pillow dolls, but haven't had time to do anything with them. Maybe someday . . . .

Hello Patti--Thanks for stopping by. I am always amazed at how far and wide my little blog travels. Thank you for sharing the quilters blog and forum, I had not seen it before. Networking--yes! Regarding the subscribe feed, it seems to be working at this end as far as I can tell. I don't send out blog updates myself, the feed is internally generated through your os. At least, I think that's how it works. :o)
