We’ve added several more downloadable patterns like “Hot Dogs” ST-1628, “Allie Cats”#ST-1511, “Foxy” #ST-1403, and many more. We even brought back an

oldie but goodie, “Candy Corn Pieces” #ST-1619 (only in download format), one of my favorites for Halloween. The colors are great and nothing screams Halloween in such a sweet way! Last year I mixed finished "Candy Corn Pieces" with "Winifred’s Hat", threw in a few pumpkins and the place looked ever so festive!

We sell our products to several mail order companies/vendors; they generally sell our patterns for a season or two and then move onto newer designs (including ours).  It's come to our attention that when these vendors deplete their stock of our patterns, they will tell their customer that the pattern has been discontinued - yes discontinued with them - BUT not by us.  These vendors rarely reveal the originating company name in their catalog/web site, so if you're looking for our products, the best thing to do is to check our web site to see if the pattern is still listed on the pattern pages - if it is, it's still available!

I just wanted to let you know I made 60+ Who place mats..we used them at our wrap up luncheon when we were done counting the new Burrows, and the baby owls we had this season...the burrowing owl are endangered, they live under ground, and lay an egg every few days...they only stand 8-9 inches tops and weigh just ounces.... their babies are all different ages because of the egg laying at different times they all hatch at different times....we have educated the public and it was a surprise we went from 5-6 owls to over 400 in 5 years..people want them burrowing in their yards...just to keep an eye on them....and as for your place mats..they are wonderful..the pattern was wonderful...no 2 owls were the same...I must thank you..those place mats are just a little symbol of just how far these owls have come....thank you again, Judy Nee, Marco Island, Fl....

As promised, we are now going to be adding downloadable patterns to our web site!!!  That means no shipping delays - you get the Material List, Instructions and Pattern pieces so you can start your project right away!  Look for (DL) at the end of the pattern’s title for the ones that are downloadable.   We’re starting with a few favorite classics:

“Hot Fingers”
#ST-944
“Hot Fingers” back by popular demand, this design was one of our first mini-patterns.  Originally published in 1990, I used to make “Hot Fingers” by the dozens to sell at local Boutiques, because it is the best friend your fingers will ever have!  So grasp your cup, pull open that steaming bag of popcorn or grab that baked potato all without burning your fingers when using your microwave.  Super Easy and FAST to make.  Finished size 8" x 4".

A few people have asked for "U-Tube Tutorials."  We do not do video tutorials; the written instructions when followed are actually the tutorials.  We have, however, started to add "visual aids" for unique processes under the "Tutorial" section on our web site - you'll need to scroll down to the project you're working on to find the pictures.  We just started to add these "visuals aids" late in 2018 and now moving into 2019.  Hope they help!  Susie says she doesn't want to do videos because her age spots might show -- That's our Susie!

We have TWO new patterns
one for year round FUN!

"Princess Lay-A" #ST-1901
Sew up cute chicken Pot Holders, Mug Mats or Trivets!   Super Quick & Easy!  Approximate finished size 9” x 9”.
