I’ve been holding onto this artwork for a long time but I didn’t think anyone would be interested in embroidery cottages. I decided to start making these anyway. I love them myself and am anxious to make projects with them. I have so many projects in mind for them.
I created several hand look stitches for sewing onto heavier fabrics like fleece and wool, but incorporated them into these sew outs as well for truly original designs. These sew outs I used regular quilting cotton fabrics as well. They are full of details. I can’t stop looking at them!
There are 3 appliques in these designs – house, roof, and dormer.
The 5×6 design I made in pink and green
The 6×8 design I made in cream and brown
The four inch design should be available early next week.
Happy Sewing Everyone!

Erica Hobbs made this stunning walker bag. She matched the fabric design so perfectly you have to look close to see the line where the top edge of the pocket is located

“Thank you for the pattern for the walker bag – I made it this morning with a few modifications – I put a double pocket inside the bag for valuables and small items and a closure strap to hold the bag closed when walking or if it tips over.
My Aunt 84, for whom I made the bag, is quite frail but loves to carry her handbag in the wire basket on her walker, which is how it was subsequently stolen in a snatch and grab, which has given her a huge shock and set back her health and confidence no end.
Hopefully, this new cheery bag will brighten up her day and give a renewed sense of security.”

“ Hi, Laura, I just wanted to thank you for posting instructions on your website for a Walker Bag. I made this one for an elderly friend who is recuperating from a broken leg and will definitely keep these instructions handy to make more for others in the future. I also included your link in a post on my blog, Piecework TreasuresI wrote today about this project. Thanks again so much for sharing.”
Sincerely,
