Yea! I found them there when you started making them. There is a woman whose name is Sue Garman that has a pattern that is appliques of the "Old World Santa's" a friend of mine and myself fell in love with. I went looking forthe pattern and then you started doing your Santa's which by the way are out of this world.
My next thing that I want to do it a Gnome Towm with buildings and critters, don't know if you can find a pattern for that. I have found the critters and gnomes. I am trying to get my niece to draw me the buildings.

Here is a link to some gnomes http://www.bunnycup.com/viewset.aspx?designset=586 and a collection of "woodland treasures' Some gnome looking houses made out of trees etc. http://www.suebox.com/store/cart.php...customListIds=
I will pm you with details.

If you have not done so yet you mght be interested in joining this fun swap that is going on right now.
It is all about gnomes, trees, mushrooms and magical forest critters.

I owe several of you blocks I am behind. I have had several things going the last few months and moving in the middle of it. So I am trying to get caught up. It will be next week before I can get back on making them. We have grandkids for the spring break. so next week I am getting started back. I let madeinmaine now. I have lost the address of some of you so I will be writing those of you I need addresses for last of next week. I am so sorry for the lateness.

Afraid I do! :) I have more embroidery patterns than I will ever be able to stitch-out and still I continue to buy more! Also use the Designs by Sick site and several free ones also. Unfortunately, my power cord to my laptop died so I have to wait for a new one to arrive before I visit many of them because they are bookmarked on my machine and currently I have to use my sons. I could probably find most of my favorites again, but a break will do me good. Happy stitching!

When I make one for swapping I always make myself one also! I love them.

I know exactly what you mean.....I don't know which I hoard more, Emboridery designs or fabric.....LOL
