Every Good Herb Year of Herbs Set of Four Panels

This is a big one, so I considered spreading it out over a few days.  But it is getting closer to a busy time of year again when I may not have a moment to do this, so here is the full set of four.  As you can see from the examples, you can pick and choose which elements you want to use.

A Fox In The Grapes

This cute little fox is taking off with the grapes! 
Most people don't know that many members of the canine and ursine families (dogs, wolves, foxes, bears) are actually omnivores.  Meaning they don't just eat meat, they also eat fruits and vegetables.  But never feed grapes or raisins to your dog.  For some reason grapes and raisins are extremely deadly to dogs.

Vintage Little Girl Tea Party

And here is the little girl who was suggested as a match to the previous post of a vintage little boy and his toys.  Both of them have a Victorian era sense to them, don't they?

Young Boy and His Toys

When I first saw this wonderful pattern, I hesitated to post it because there is another matching one of a little girl and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find her, but I did!  So here he is.  He'll be quite a project, but well worth the effort.

His and Hers Bunnies

I am in love this these bunnies.  I can't help but smile when I see them!  Separate or together, what will you put them on?

Asiatic Lily Third in Set of Three Botanical Illustrations

And here is the lovely Asiatic Lily in this set of three botanical illustrations.  Did you know that these are the original lilies that the ones you see now with the upward facing flowers were hybridized from?  A lady in California was the first to breed a new variety she named "Star Gazers" because they faced upwards instead of downwards.  Both are so beautiful.

Botanical Illustration of Tulips 2nd In A Set of Three Flowers

This is the second in a set of three floral botanical illustrations.  When I post the first in the set, I didn't know if I had the other two, and I do!  The first one was of a rose and it was posted here on January 23, 2019  I'll post the third in the set, an Asiatic lily after this one.

Winter Decor Pair Of Small Birds

This delightful little pattern of two small birds with a bit of winter greens and pine cones probably wouldn't take much time at all to complete in time for the holidays.

Santa Claus And His Bag Of Gifts

This is one of the best Santa Claus patterns I've ever seen.  There is another one that I've done several times to give as gifts, but I have yet to tackle this one.  Maybe this year!  An alternative set of numbers for new years wasn't provided, but I don't think it would be difficult to change them to the current year. (Update, I just designed numerals based on this pattern and added them below so people can insert any year they like.)




Woops, looks like I need to make more of a difference between the 5 and the 6!

A Year of Quilt Patches Or Ornaments

This is the last four in a set of 12 patches to make a full year.  Each month being appropriate for that time of year.  The first 4 of the set were posted here on September 12, 2019.  The mid four of the set are here somewhere!  When I find them, I'll post them too.  But meanwhile, each one of these could be used in so many ways.  I believe these four represent going back to school in the fall, canning the harvest, fall crafting and such, and Christmas.
All 12 can be seen in the last photo.

Morning Glories and Ribbon Floss

These beautiful blue Morning Glories are framed in a pattern using ribbon floss.  Silk ribbon I believe.  I just recently stumbled upon silk ribbon embroidery a few years ago and even bought a book and some silk ribbon so I can play with it this winter.  And of course I've been searching Pinterest for examples and inspiration!

Seashells And The Beach

Doesn't this beautiful and well designed pattern make you feel like summer hasn't really gone away already this year and you've got time to run to the beach?  Or is it time for that vacation to the beach?

Reindeer Mischief

This simple but delightful pattern wouldn't take long at all to make in time for the holidays.
