«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 260 of 260I like many others have just found your blog and I am so glad. I love doing embroidery. Vintage towels would be great in my kitchen would be great right now especially since my dishwasher decided to quit working. Sewing with Kass is really cute because I have been teaching my granddaughter how to do some stitching. I don't have a blog but will be adding you to my favorites.

Favorite Post - your kidding right! I sat here for hours drooling all over my laptop! You are amazing! The detail of your patterns is amazing! If I have to pick something I have to say it is the idea on sprucing up plain cheap dish cloths/towels! What an awesome idea! And who couldn't use new cloths/towels! I"m on my way to Walmart now! Check out my blog for my post and button! I want in!
You know what these towels made me think of? Embroidering towels like this with my grandma when I was a young girl. And then the towels I got from her when she died. They are my favorites. I still have them - I will never give them up.
My Favorite is the previews of what you are doing in upcoming classes...since I am usually sign up for them...lol..But really all of your blog is a good!

Hi Lori,
As I am a new reader I'd have to say your giveaway post is my favourite cause that's how i found you...glad I did!
Thanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful things...
The tea towels remind me of my Dear Nan...she had the daily tea towels and she had mad them herself too.
The setting the table 'set' particularly reminds me of her.

i have only just found your blog and become a follower - i am going to set aside a hour or two to read all of your posts now :-)
I love all your vintage designs. I've got to get some dishtowels embroidered as I want to have a vintage kitchen.
Honestly I haven't finished going through ALL your older posts yet, since I just found you a few days ago...but I absolutely LOVE looking at you June 9th post and all the doillies and pretty crochet hankercheifs and table scarfs. I have so many from my Grandmother and tag slaes. I love the put them out for the seasons under lamps and baskets, etc.
As soon as I have some more time I plan to troll through all your patterns and make some lovely kitchen towels of my own from your patterns! Thanks!
Sorry forgot to mention that I'm sticking the button and commenting on my blog too right now!! You can skip adding this comment to your site if you'd like....Still in love with those animated kitchenware patterns!!
Vintage Mondays because of those cute cats. Love them and remember my mother having them when I was a little girl.
On April 27th you featured vintage hankies. My mother always used hankies and it was the one thing my children could buy for her for her birthday or Christmas that we all knew she would use. Hers were less colourful but I loved looking at yours.
I love these tea towels! I have made a couple sets, but you have some patterns that I have never seen before!
My fave blog as of right now is Crazy Mom Quilts (http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/) because she always has such great projects, and her posts are always enjoyable to read!
Pretty blog! I'm glad you have a giveaway as it gets word out about you and this blog. Wonderful! I will visit often.
I love embroidered dish towels. I have a wonderful set from my grandmother that I use to cover my china and silver to protect them.....I do not plan to use those towels for anything that will leave a stain. :) On the other hand, the rest of my towels get a daily work out!!!! I want to start making up sets to have ready for my own children to use when they are married and on their own. :)
I'm new and I love your blog. I just recently gotten excited about redwork embroidery. I loved your Vintage Monday post. I'm putting you on my blog feed today. Thanks!
I love the vintage monday hanky post I love seeing all of the hankies I love the colors and it makes me remember seeing them when I was younger con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
I love the vintage posts but the quilting with Kass and the twirly skirt has to be a favorite!

Please add me to your fabulous giveaway! My favorite post is Friday, June 26, 2009 Cottage Garden Tour - your garden is absolutely gorgeous and I wish someday to create a garden so wonderful! Thanks, kimberlybreid@hotmail.com
Thanks for the giveaway! I love the animated kitchenware. I'm new to your blog, and I really enjoyed seeing your collection of vintage hankies. Are you planning a project with them, or do you just collect them? I just got a bunch from my grandmother, and I'm trying to decide what to do with them.

So hard to pick a favorite, so I'll pick two - I think your enbroidered dishtowels are adorable, but I'm also completely in awe of your garden. Peonys are my favorite!
I love vintage mondays, so much fun to see what you will have next. I do not have my own blog, so I guess I only get one entry. But it only takes one to win. Here's hoping! Thanks for the giveaway!

I love your Vintage Monday post as I do enjoy embroidery very much and love anything vintage. I have just found your blog, will be following you officially, and have put your button on my sidebar and posted about your giveaway. It is a lovely assortment of items.
Hope you stop by my blog too.

I'm new to your blog, so hello! I love your Vintage Mondays posts, especially the vintage bling one!!! Vintage jewellery and vintage fabric are two things I really, really like. Thanks for running such a great giveaway.
Hi Lori- this is the first time I have visited your great blog. I found out about your giveaway from Barbara Graham on the Aust craft forum. I really enjoyed reading you May blog about your talented friend Linda, and seeing the apron appliques. Please enter me in your giveaway. I would love to be the lucky person who gets those cute embroidery patterns etc. My email is sandangels 1945@hotmail.com. bye for now, Sandy.
Oh wow! That IS a lot of commments!!
I'm so glad I found your blog, it's just full of fantastic ideas and inspiration. I think my favourite of your posts (so far, as I'm going back through your archives) is "My friend Linda." I just love her quilts, they're so well made!
I like the Scotty Dogs patterns, but I think I'd have to choose the Setting the Table set. They're too cute!
Thankyou for the opportunity, and I agree, we need to keep vintage embroidery alive!
Hugs, a new fan!
Love your blog just found you. Boy can't believe all the traffic I had to wait in line. LOL Fun giveaway. Good luck to all.
I'm trying to add you to my sidebar, but I'm doing something wrong because it isn't working! :( I did get you on my followers list. ;) You have such a fun blog! I love it!
Just found your blog and added your button to my side bar! Such adorable things you create!
What a great blog! Got the link from Quilting With Ragdolls and will now be sleepless while I check out all goodies...
I love the Scotty Dogs...my Mom and her best friend are 86 and have been friends since grade school...when they were in their early teens my Grandmother bought them each a scotty dog purse...
A few years ago my Mom's friend Bea gave me her purse...it's in beautiful condition and I treasure it...Mom still has her purse too...
Bea worked in a bakery and every few weeks my Grandmother would stitch her a new apron with embroidery or appliques...she still has a few and is looking forward to passing them on to me and my sisters...
Love of handwork is the best thing I've inherited from my Grandmother...worth far more than anything money can buy~
I would love to win these dish towels. I remember my mother and grandmother using some similar with the days of the week embroidered on them.
My favorite post is the one of your sewing night with Kassidy. I think it's important that we pass on skills such as sewing to the younger generation. I am teaching my granddaughters to sew, I already taught my daughter. It is so much fun to see the joy in the eyes of a child after they complete their first project! And it is a part of their heritage.
I have just discovered your blog and am in absolute AWE of your lovely work. Please include my name in your giveaway - now I am off in search of your patterns!!

Hello! I just left a comment but forgot to mention which post I liked - haven't seen many yet but I loved the paper doll post and the great photos and Kass's lovely twirly girly skirt. Everywhere I look is more wonderful surprises. Your garden is lovely too - love the flower filled troughs on the fence!

Oh my goodness you can't seriously believe we can pick just one favorite post, can you? I just found your blog through Jodi, simply this and that blog and I have already read every one of your posts I love them all! I especially love the quilts you design, can you give me lesson? I don't know how you applique such small pieces.
My favorite post, if you really think I can choose, would have to be June 26 the Cottage Garden tour. Oh how you have such talent and foresight....May I just come live with you and your family? Now I am just left with wanting to see the rest of your house! Oh please!

Keep up the great work, truly an inspiration!!

My favorite section is Vintage Monday because we seem to like about the same type of things and it is always interesting to see someone else's finds. The vintage tea towels bring back memories of my mother. hopemitch@yahoo.com
i enjoy the vintage monday posts ... i love to see what others collect .. never know when a new collection will be born. I have never embroidered before, but greatly admire it. I do cross stitch, so this would be fun to try. Love those scotties. Karen CA
Hi! I have just found your blog and I too love embroidery. My finger is getting a little arthritis in it but I must keep stitchin' away. Please enter me for your drawing. What a nice prize!

My favourite post is Vintage Monday - Embroidered Dishtowel's, it was like getting a hug from my gramma. Her "tea-towels" as we call them were always embroidered.
My mother taught me how to embroider on them and pillowcases, I still have some of them on my pillows today, tattered and threadbare but that little leaping lamb still makes me smile. Thanks for putting my name in, I just found your blog and can't wait to read all of your posts. Thank you.

This is my first visit to your blog and I just love it. It's difficult to choose just one post that appeals to me most because I'm finding so many fun items... Sew Nights With Kass, Vintage Mondays, your Ode to 1930s quilt, the wallpaper of your blog, etc... great job.
Will have to pass on posting your button on my site though, because I'm on vacation and using hubby's laptop. It's not very cooperative. But I will be visiting often.
The sunbonnet sue's are so pretty. Please enter me in your giveaway.
Love your site...love the towels..Toni
lovely! I'd love to win the setting the table transfers - so adorable!
My favourite post is the cottage garden tour because we're having a cold winter in Australia and it's nice to see such a beautiful reminder that spring is on it's way!
thanks, jane

Oh I love all those vintage transfers. Reminds me of the little Semco transfer booklets my mother used to have to. We had so many lovely tea towels. It would be nice to create some for my own home.
Crap! I can't believe I missed another give away. =(
