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.

Patra's Place
Patra's Place
Hello to whoever is reading this! It is mostly in the experimental stage, but like everyone else, one has to start somewhere.
I have a cupboard full of UFOs and SINS, which I have added to today with a win on ebay: a Semco wall hanging - a map of Australia with the floral emblem of each state. Like so many of these early kits, it lists Semco floss/thread numbers, so I spent half an hour with my conversion chart, noting the corresponding DMC floss numbers on the instruction sheet. What a pain, but necessary if I am ever to stitch this item.
Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteWell, I am out here reading. *grin* And I think I am still going to cut up my half-finished supper cloth for crazy patch. But I do have some other interesting old family stuff that I would never cut up - but I do need somewhere to leave it to in my will - no children here either.
Are there any public collections out there that accept women's fancywork????
I too am reading you - just thought I would say hello, wave and welcome
