Then you should be able to get them if they have been there about a year.I did . I'm on my self challenge but those two patterns are on my eternal list. They've been on there about a year, and this is the first I've found either one available.
You are so welcome! So glad you got it!I got the pattern today @Weedygarden . I need to pull it out and look at the pieces then figure out when I'm actually going to be able to make it. Thanks again for finding it.
Embroidered pillow cases were quite a thing when I was growing up. I haven't seen any in a long time. My grandmother would also crochet a lace edge on them.All our pillow cases were embroidered feed sacks. They were cheap, and my mother bleached them white and embroidered flower patterns on them.
That's what I asked for from my folks last year. I love them.Embroidered pillow cases were quite a thing when I was growing up. I haven't seen any in a long time. My grandmother would also crochet a lace edge on them.
Thank you! What a lovely blog and a great video!@Weedygarden I finally did it - and figured out how to do a little video. I have it posted on my blog if you would like to see how I set up to hand quilt. It was you who asked right? If not I'm thoroughly embarrassed. I can't find that stretch of chat.

Thanks Weedy. In looking at and for quilting videos, I noticed most are very modern/trendy. One of the things I like about hand quilting is the slower pace and quietness. I didn't really find much along those lines. Maybe it just means I'm old, but I like the traditional ways.Thank you! What a lovely blog and a great video!
I am more traditional, also. I do know that some people hand piece their quilt tops. My grandmother did some hand piecing when I was growing up. All of my quilt tops have been machine pieced, but the quilts have been hand quilted.Thanks Weedy. In looking at and for quilting videos, I noticed most are very modern/trendy.

I learned when Home Ec was still a course taught in Junior (better known as Middle School now) High. I went on from there because it was something my mom did and also encouraged me to do. Then I did even more as an adult and made clothing for myself and my kids and home furnishings.
I think you should give it a whirl Meer. Pillow cases are a great way to start- nice long straight lines.
