I love to see designs with baskets

loaded down with flowers............don't you? This little design

was in with a load of vintage designs that a customer gave to me last year. She told me that she had once enjoyed embroidery and wanted to pass the designs on to someone who would enjoy using them as much as she did. I was over- joyed and humbled at her sweet gesture.

I also love designs that have vines and flowers trailing in this or that direction.  This design will be stitched on various towels for my booth sales and Etsy shop. Do you have vintage designs that you love to embroider or that is on a particular linen?

I also picked up my crochet hook this past weekend and made a few plaid potholders for later sales. I love flannel shirts because of their plaid design and was so thrilled when I learned how to incorporate the plaid design into my crochet! My plan is to use up all of my overflowing crochet yarn..........and try not to buy anymore until I have done so.............I know I won't be able to make that plan work out.............yarn calls to me from the store shelves.........sigh.

How about you?
