Flicking through the pages back them,  I came across this pattern for table place mats, this was slightly before Vintage became what it is today.

TULIPS (The design on the cover)

Do you remember when I showed my collection on Needlewoman and Needlecraft Magazines?  

Well, the other day whilst venturing round a very large boot fair, I found a lady selling vintage linens. My hand instinctively leapt forward and grabbed them, on this occasion my hands were working faster than my brain!  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them but I knew they needed something special.  My vintage magazines were tucked safely away, so I retrieved them and sat with a cup of tea  looking through them and as if by magic this copy jumped out........

All I had to go by was the picture on the cover and the instructions inside.  With these magazines you sent for the the transfer. (click on pictures to have a closer look)

Samuel Seagull

Meet Samuel is Cyril's best friend.  

He can be made into a doorstop, or just an ornament or a child can play with him he is quite safe and friendly!  His pattern can be found here and here!

Inspiration!

I wanted a steady hand!

This is what I did!
