Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

A lovely addition to your collection!
Oh Gina, these are absolutely yummy! I don't know which one I like best. I'm partial to the peacock, but do love the budgies and in fact, i just love them all! They're so beautiful. I would just die to have the patterns for the designs in your linen collection. Could you imagine? I wouldn't know which one to stitch first! That's not to say that my vintage transfer collection isn't enough to drool over but my goodness, I don't think I have any of the patterns for the pieces in your collection. Simply gorgeous!
Hi Maggie Ann and Pam, nice to hear from you both! Pam, I don't have the actual patterns for any of these either, otherwise I would scan and email any that you wanted. I do have a large stash of unworked linen though and I guess I could scan some of that now and then and put it on here. But there is so much, I don't know where to start!
I always scan linens that I buy and make patterns by tracing them in Photoshop. I buy patterns, too, but could spend a fortune doing that. Since most of my linens are used for pillows and then sold, they aren't around for long. It's nice the have the patterns to use again if I want to.
Gina - send me your email address and I'll respond to your last comment directly.
