embroidery patterns from workbaskets

[kensuelea]

Would anyone out there be willing to give me your embroidery patterns from the center of old workbasket magazines. I am looking for something for a 9 year old boy. I do a lot of embroidery along with my crocheting. I will pay you for postage.

Kensuela, I don't personally have any of these books but I will check with my mom and the local consignment and antique stores. I will let you know if I find anything this weekend.

Kensuelea, Thought you might want to check out this sight. They have vintage patterns for needlework. There is a free book to download too. http://knitting-and.com/embroidery/goodneedlework1.html

would it have to be from work basket? There are a lot of those embroidery patterns floating around the resale shops, yellow envelope is what I remember, forgot the brand name, but you see those more often than from workbasket. I have seen them, but we are more rural than some places, maybe that is why they show up more. Good luck in your search.

no it could be any kind. I just need something for the older boys I would like to find trucks for kayden 7 but don't know what for tay 9

Are they into sports or hunting? Racing?

Dear lady, been talking to some of the younger crafty gals, and they claim to be able to either google, use color books etc., to make any designs you want to embroider. BUT, you must use a special pencil obtained from the craft/material store that works for that purpose. Is easy, and all you need to do is ask someone knowledgeable at the craft store, they can show/set you n the right path.
I am not familiar with that stuff, but sounds logical to me, always some new wrinkle coming out in crafts, which I why I no longer work that venue.
Good luck, and do let us know how you fare?
