April Give-Away & Request (*edited)
Yesterday I decided to swing by my favorite antique store just too see if they had any new/vintage patterns in. It was an incredibly successful trip, I was giddy like a kid in a sugar factory. I found four Vogart’s and one McCall’s transfer, a half gallon sized bag with Tri-chem, Artex and unknown patterns stuffed full and some vintage fabric (will be in the shop as soon as I can get good pics).
I guess I am a little bit late as last week was the vintage transfer week (thanks floresita, doe-c-doe and everyone else who posted patterns!) Here are the patterns that I am sharing from yesterdays finds:
Here is the best part though- I will be giving away a complete and uncut Vogart 646 transfer pattern.
All you have to do is leave me a comment, and if you link to this post from your blog I will enter you into the “linky love” give away (hee I just made that up!) for a chance to win another complete uncut Vogart transfer. The contest will end at 10pm PST on April 8, 2008.
**But WAIT**- I also need your help. I am working on an design for a client and I need to find a vintage cake graphic or illustration valentine with mommy and baby animals on it. If you could please search through your epherma for a fluffly vintage cake image vintage valentine I will become your new internet best friend! Actually if you have a valentine that I think will work I am willing to pay $5 for a high quality scan. Email me a photo of it, or send me a link to it on flickr- thanks!

I am new at this and love all the things you make. I started my own blog and have you as one of my favs! Does that count as a “link”? Otherwise, I don’t know how to “link” yet. I got started in hand embroidery about 3 months ago when my embroidery machine broke. I really like the hand embroidery but I do miss my machine. Your projects are inspiration to me (i.e. the bunny tutorial - yea - I made six bags!) Thanks!!

i have several old books on cake decorating, if actual pictures are what you are looking for. (there are several full colour as well as many many black and white. and there are a few drawings as well) e-mail me at Alien_sunset@yahoo.com and i’ll send you some quick pictures to see if you want me to scan any of them.

Sign me up!!! And of course I’ll look through my goody piles to see if I have a cake image for you (like Abigail, I have a bunch of vintage baking books as well). I’ll get back to you on that.

I will start looking through my patterns to see what I have.
Please leave me out of the giveaway since I already have more than I could possibly ever embroider.

I’ll have a look at home for you for the picture and email you if I have one - I suspect that mine would be black and white though…
