Summer is finally here to stay. It is hot, hot, hot. July is another snowman month. This time Freddy is wrapped up in a stocking cap. He is outlined in chain stitch and French knots give him his polka dots. Enjoy and feel free to use this pattern as well as the first Freddy pattern from March. A mention would be great and expected as a goodwill gesture.
Buttercup and Blueberry Bunnies are very happy. School is over and they can go out everyday and play in the sun for a whole two months. Buttercup has brought lemonade and cookies for a picnic on the beach while Blueberry thought his pail and shovel would come in handy to make castles in the sand. I wonder if they will both remember their bathing suits?
A black work embroidered angel from McCall’s Needlework Magazine, July/August 1982 heralds Christmas morning in style. The stitch instructions are included with the pattern. She would look good as a door ornament or a little Christmas quilt to throw over a rocking chair. A matching tree skirt could round out the set as well.
Kewpie dolls are one of my favourite embroidery patterns. When I was a small child Kewpie dolls with their little blue wings were my companions during nap time. These days of the week Kewpie doll embroidery patterns come from McCall’s Needlework and Crafts September 1988 Collector’s Edition. They were first published during the 1930’s. They are so sweet and cuddly. They would make a great conversation piece embroidered onto a cafe curtain in your kitchen.
This pattern is for Wednesday, a sewing day of course. The full seven days of the week are in a 824kb pdf document ready for download

Two new paper dolls join the others to wish their great daddies a happy day. Both Terry Tiger and Lori Leopard wrapped their presents all by themselves. They are so proud to be able to do that and can hardly wait to give them to their fathers. I wonder if they are going to take their parents out to dinner or make it themselves?
