Looking for a pattern

I can't help, but we have a couple of really skilled ladies who demonstrate, and exhibit, at Woodlawn. I am sure Donna or Ellice can help you.

Gillian

Thanks Gill, for the kind words. I'm planning on being at Woodlawn on Friday - so I'll take a looke. Donna has already been there. The other thing is that with the program, or at least the entry number, you can write to Woodlawn/Nelly's and they will eventually contact the entrant and get the pattern information back to you. I believe there is a link on the Woodlawn1805 site that you can use to contact them. In the past they've been very good about it (I know, as I had to provide several pattern names to them).

Ellice

This piece was exhibited by In Stitches so I have sent them a note. Should hear back today or tomorrow?

I think it may be "Old Aviary Sampler" from issues of Antique Sampler and Needlework Quarterly. If you google "old aviary sampler" you'll find some blogs about it (if this is the one you're talking about), and maybe one of those kind folks would be willing to sell their back issues after they're done.

Thanks everyone, You've been very helpful. That's exactly the type of info I was looking for. Now I have somewhere to start from. This group always was the best help! Thanks again. Marlene

Sue is right and I had this info confirmed by In Stitches.

Old Aviary Sampler. It was published in the Sampler & Antique Sampler Magazine over 4 issues - #43-46 - Summer 2006 to Spring 2007

Yes, I found it too, and have found a couple of sources for the magazines. But also found a source for the chart alone, so may go that route.

Thanks, everybody. Am definitely going to pick this one up. When I'll get started on it is a whole other story. There are so many new and wonderful projects out there calling to me, and that doesn't even include the unfinished WIPs leftover from my years of stitching pre-2000. I'm going to have to really exercise some discipline not to go too nuts on the whole stash thing!

Happy stitching everyone!

Hey, Marlene -

Don't be a stranger! Welcome back, and stick around. We'll try to keep you inspired and in stitches!

Update: I was wrong about a chart. There is none current. But was able to order the four magazines from an online source. Hopefully they'll all be available. Haven't heard back yet. Again, ladies, thanks so much for the help. I've been enjoying checking out the current patterns and especially those who blog about their projects, something that people didn't do when I was last stitching. Not to mention all the great photographs of WIPs and finished pieces. Great inspiration! Will definitely be hanging around!
