I saw the box, knew who it was from…but wasn’t prepared for the treasures inside.
Oh Grace, you were too good to me!
Grace (from Lancaster, PA) and I had planned a swap and if you remember I made her the ‘cabin’ runner and I also made one of the ‘weaver cloth Feather Tree pillows’ – well I feel I didn’t do enough in this swap – I THINK I GOT THE
BEST OF THIS ONE!!!
Take a look at these wonderful goodies!
The box was full!!
What more can I say…pictures finish my words!
The Tooth Wash and Fever Cure are going on a shelf in our bathroom and the pillow and heart pin cushion are going in our den – so you see I can look at them whenever I’m in these room.
So what’s happening here and why haven’t I been out and about visiting the forums and blogs…well…
I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY PENNY RUGS INTO
‘PATTERNS’
I don’t know for sure when they will be ready because now I need photos of all the ones I’m doing patterns for….all the pictures I have were sized to fit my website so they don’t turn out will in a photo. So I’ll be sewing for awhile to get the product made to be able to photograph. Wow, this is work!
I need to find outlets for selling now – anyone know how to go about this? I do know there are a couple sites but the Pattern Cupboard isn’t taking new accounts right now. That just leaves The Prim Pattern.
Come on over to my website: http://www.kmprimitives.com/catalog.php?category=44
I have a sale on my
Bee Skep & Black Eyed Susan Runners
It goes to the end of March
Ivory or Black
Well everyone – that’s it for this week!
Let us take a minute out of our lives to PRAY
for all those involved in the horrendous
earthquake and Tsunami

I'm so excited that you will be offering patterns of your awesome penny rugs! I have seen a few online sites who sell new designers' patterns--try Lisa Bonjean at Primitive Gatherings, Karen Perry at Farmhouse Woolens, Pumpkin Patch Primitives, and Prairie Grove Peddler. I'll bet they would jump at the chance to offer your beautiful designs! (And I'll jump at the chance to buy them!) Also, try selling them on etsy!
I have just become a follower - Grace from Lancaster? I live in Lititz - can you pleas post her blog name.
Wow...Super goodies there !! Grace is a sweetie !!
and so glad you are putting in your designs into patterns !!!
Robin
WOW! Isn't that Grace a "DOLL!" Her work is great - even down to the way she wraps and packs. You made out well my friend.
I never feel like I do enough for her when we exchange treasures.
I am excited for you that you are going into another way of staying in the business.
I feel so bad for what is going on in other parts of the USA and the world. Prayers going out for all.
Have a nice weekend and hi to Doug.
Love,
FL----Linda

Good evening, Karen,
Now, that's the kind of mail that is fun to get! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. ~Natalie
Wonderful goodies! I am not sure about selling patterns on the internet, but I would think that if you visited some of the local wool shops, they would buy wholesale from you. Your items are wonderful!

Oh I just love when goodies are wrapped up so nice and pretty! The presentation is half the fun, I think. =] What wonderful goodies you received! I love to see stitcheries, you just know there is lots of love in each piece because it is so time consuming. How nice of Grace to send you such tokens of hard work and love!
YAY!! I'm so glad you are making your original designs into patterns! That is wonderful news for me! =] I have been wanting to just jump in and try my hand at making penny rugs, but if I have a pattern I know that would be so much easier for me. Please keep us posted as to when they will be available and where. How exciting! I don't know of any pattern places but best wishes on your new adventure!
You certainly had some stunning swap goodies, loved them all!
Good Luck in your new pattern venture Karen and wishing you every success
