I "Hart" Jenny

Jenny Hart from Sublime Stitching is offering a really great deal in her online store -- 20 percent off everything except gift certificates. This includes her books and patterns. The patterns in the packs and those in the books are multi-use iron on patterns. SO much easier than tracing the pattern on the fabric. My all-time favorite pattern is Cat-a-Rama, so I selected it to illustrate this post. Meow.

Sublime (And Free!) Gift Tags

Ah, the lovely Jenny Hart. So talented and beautiful. And generous! Woot! Over at her Sublime Stitching blog, you can download free gift tags and a pattern to make your own hand-stitched gift tags. Adorable.

Vintage Embroidered Baby Quilt

Look what my mom brought to the beach: a baby quilt she hand-embroidered for me when I was born. I must admit, that means that the quilt is "vintage." Aren't these animals adorable? And the stitching is so precise. Precious, precious. What a treasure.
