When I began decorating I couldn’t believe how expensive everything was. And that is because it takes time to make little quilts and things.</p><p>It takes me a good 8-10 hours to measure cut sew and create little quilts, hutches or items I’ve painted and then decorated with miniatures. It’s enjoyable but it is quite a process.</p><p>That is one of the main reasons I learned how to make patterns so that others could make their own versions of miniature bedding and kitchen linens with my patterns.</p><p>If you have a craft, quilt, knitting, cross stitch chart, jewelry design or item you want to make a pattern about check out my templates in my Ribbonwoodcottage Etsy shop.</p><p>I have a template that you add your pictures and wording too.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjC44u2JhLw79q8TsZEcK83uIUqGD4vI0m8thXMqOkP3E7Ul9MgHQKUBpEek3GB6peaeUm70NH6qNZy1IGGGrvW-AIQ4_FRPvGAZRHO2OMw18HlMQ5M03pRyQH8AnMeLMUeweua1fReW3BD_rs5FsLQmI5w6sz_s5lUhxH92arPLKyXxYRzSIjqHtPiFM/s4032/IMG_5794.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjC44u2JhLw79q8TsZEcK83uIUqGD4vI0m8thXMqOkP3E7Ul9MgHQKUBpEek3GB6peaeUm70NH6qNZy1IGGGrvW-AIQ4_FRPvGAZRHO2OMw18HlMQ5M03pRyQH8AnMeLMUeweua1fReW3BD_rs5FsLQmI5w6sz_s5lUhxH92arPLKyXxYRzSIjqHtPiFM/s320/IMG_5794.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>And I also walk you through how to add your photos, use elements, change the wording in your pattern.

It was surprising and I couldn't believe the response I got when I started making little sheets and pillows. </p><p>It started so small and grew into something wonderful. And my father bless his heart was the one who really started my love for little miniatures. He bought them for me to play with in church to keep me quiet while he was preaching.

I remember years ago decorating for Christmas when we had little ones running around the house.

I hope you are having a good start of the week. We recently got back from Louisiana seeing our son, his wife, twins and another little guy Jackson. So wonderful spending time together. </p><p>But today I have some wonderful things to share with you. I love to sew and cross stitch and I have been making seasonal and Christmas stitchery patterns.

I wanted to offer you a free cross stitch pattern. I create a lot
of patterns and I wanted to give something away to you.
Cross stitching is something I do usually after dinner when we sit to catch
up on news, etc.
With each stitch I slowly unwind from the day
(we work for hospice and there is often stress related situations),
processing my thoughts, working through the day....
I try to do a little stitching everyday. I set my phone down
so I don't get distracted by pictures and decorating on
social media! Do you know what I mean Haha!

If you have never cross stitched and you wonder what all the commotion is about, it is an enjoyable craft. But it is also easy to take with you in a ziplock type bag. Throw a project in your purse and pull it out and stitch while you are waiting in the car, or waiting at the doctors office, or at kids sports practices. </p><p>I often feel that I unwind and relax more when I am cross stitching. It helps me process my thoughts and my schedule. A few little stitches here and there and add up and they are good for the soul.</p><blockquote><p>"A stitch at a time. Slow and steady, cross stitching, embroidering, appliquéing, quilting, actually settles the heart of the stitcher, and brings thoughtful enjoyment to the soul. Each stitch is a rhythmic process with your needle and thread that helps you sew while sorting your thoughts and mind. The feel of the fabric, the colors of each thread, and the needle all work together simultaneously to bring something lovely that once was scraps. The threads find their home on the stitchery fabric, and become something beautiful in the hands of the stitcher."

Sorry I have been away for so long. We made another Haul trip from California to Oklahoma with our final things being moved. It has been quite a process. Good but long in process.</p><p>I want to share some patterns with you, give you a free pattern and also briefly go over what I am doing to help new pattern makers. If you are a cross stitch maker, quilter, or seamstress and perhaps have a design but don't know how to go about making a sellable PDF pattern (PDF is what the final file type has to be to load to Etsy, Shopify, or an online portal). I want to give you some basics to move you forward hopefully in your process.</p><p>First, here are some Fall patterns that are now available in my shop. Sewing, Quilting, Miniature making, Cross Stitching and more!</p><p>Here is an excerpt from the first few pages of my latest Miniature Fall Decorating Ideas ebook. Filled with budget friendly little projects for decorating your miniature doll room. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1304524994/miniature-fall-decorating-ideas-2022?" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBTPaxm2VlT8j3CIFpTWtd9VzhMsCRt9QXKlwhOEPB6TJ2lPQRGliV0TGUfHuqpVe5pmXe3yHcQMvcHYQtj00le1jgAI0WmxbPgQQ6L0gR9hs-NviIalhcuvTX_QwqPshbeMYqDUp7g5I38SKxzb-iUqRsUmPCJZgvlXmeMZJVvjBBZODBkPQbn3-18c/s320/1.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3U2N7YhQ2kz_Nnss4J4jJKf3VkUuxTC27i74SqUXW6-hx8cf1cOoAON8dRBURxdCMKp-4mIX_ggTFsYyrpuDYSg5JuDFeTX6B2JI00qCaYvM-W0DdzNZ4IetJwz6PeacOWJN1xFPAkFs8uA1DY9_7k4Amn34ExPsElbr-rUGSFEAGfGQwvx0rRGOgFpc/s2000/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3U2N7YhQ2kz_Nnss4J4jJKf3VkUuxTC27i74SqUXW6-hx8cf1cOoAON8dRBURxdCMKp-4mIX_ggTFsYyrpuDYSg5JuDFeTX6B2JI00qCaYvM-W0DdzNZ4IetJwz6PeacOWJN1xFPAkFs8uA1DY9_7k4Amn34ExPsElbr-rUGSFEAGfGQwvx0rRGOgFpc/s320/2.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj4pIR7RZ6GR0uriaA0ZIk6MgTgJpgtJt3Sz9EZpOZYi55eOrIXAuh3cgyAuKqcyMZ9Sf3sCCwdmPDzWSqLq8t7mmZJvSrjYt0P-nRS-osWH7aoVjv1pfWSlkD2NlP5d3YpksjLorIqEyGuxAwGduVj4xP2JQ1kVKNXm339U_r1qjeuzsRPLCc1ysD8E/s2000/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj4pIR7RZ6GR0uriaA0ZIk6MgTgJpgtJt3Sz9EZpOZYi55eOrIXAuh3cgyAuKqcyMZ9Sf3sCCwdmPDzWSqLq8t7mmZJvSrjYt0P-nRS-osWH7aoVjv1pfWSlkD2NlP5d3YpksjLorIqEyGuxAwGduVj4xP2JQ1kVKNXm339U_r1qjeuzsRPLCc1ysD8E/s320/5.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg337FOjZk0g7o1P059g98C28B__3uj3YKtAwQzt1lKiryVraJnt32ur4tBUa3FyAkr_89ZLncTxRTt28lN38GQjLZ0wMM94pHxgTRUXBJarRsYM2JFUgcfm7HYNteDbTXaF5o6Oi0ypXUWKvR0D9OtAeBkxoTpaK3KUBuia0-k2b4Eud3DzVHavLjZz0s/s2000/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg337FOjZk0g7o1P059g98C28B__3uj3YKtAwQzt1lKiryVraJnt32ur4tBUa3FyAkr_89ZLncTxRTt28lN38GQjLZ0wMM94pHxgTRUXBJarRsYM2JFUgcfm7HYNteDbTXaF5o6Oi0ypXUWKvR0D9OtAeBkxoTpaK3KUBuia0-k2b4Eud3DzVHavLjZz0s/w392-h508/6.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1304524994/miniature-fall-decorating-ideas-2022?" target="_blank">Fall Decorating ebook is HERE</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1247760644/new-100-decorating-ideas-decorative?" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wOt104UWdtGkxGJyfQ-LfnP8oKywP-1J-Dg9UVsfY8aucPQr-6c6NwZEjf0uMZ0UlJ24L04WMo5ZMhT1WFQuG2LPzHjEeZS8oOe26xXQ8hh4r4gVz8Zy1V7HMXsIVTlH3d1XZirSxY_g1wWepgYrRDVwOWjJ2z7G1yvRUR2OwYyduRR4Zcw-6T6xgxs/w434-h562/1.jpg" width="434" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">THIS Ebook has a load of ideas for decorating a dollhouse or doll room, by creating simple things.

I love it because I can take it with me. If I am waiting on hubby at work, or at a game for grandkids waiting for soccer to start I will pull out a little plastic bag with a small project in it. I have found that a few minutes of stitching each day is really good for my soul and spirit. It calms me and I love the process of stitching.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has only been the last 10 years that I have been creating patterns.

I've included with the pattern/template a 28+ page instruction guide how to add your title, cover design photo, supply list, instructions and directions along with photos. I show you how to drag and drop a photo into the photo placeholder.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I walk you through all the steps to making the pattern using the template.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At the end of the instruction book I walk you through the steps of finishing your pattern pdf and then uploading it to shopify, or Etsy or your online web page.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I first learned how to do this I remember crying because I didn't know what to do or how to do what I was doing. It took me weeks of learning, researching and figuring things out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I want to help you if I can create a simple pattern version that is professional looking and that you could sell and be proud of your design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have sold several of these and several customers have said the guide was very helpful in them making their first pattern.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And there are several options to give you an idea of what you could create. You can use your photos and drag and drop them into place where the photo frame is.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the ones in my shop that are for sale and also have the step by step workbook to guide you through the process of creating your own pattern to sell using my template.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I have a free template further down for you if you would like to try it out and work with the free version.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am reposting this from a couple years ago- it has great Americana decor pictures that I thought would be great to share with you!<div><br /></div><div>I hope you are all doing well. Currently I have been hosting my blog here @ https://ribbonwoodcottage.patternbyetsy.com/blog but I have come back to blogging here and after June 30th the other blog won't be available. I have always loved my blog on blogspot.<br />
<br />
However! It was wonderful to me to revisit my original blog here and it has given me renewed love for how I started in this business, and blogging. Do you remember starting your first blog?<br />

This blog has led to incredible friends online I will probably never meet (I'm on the West coast, they are on the East Coast.) However the friendship now spans over 12 years. All because of blogging.<br />

My goal right now is creating LOVELY & DELIGHTFUL things. Years ago I focused on the scripture Philippians 4:8 that basically said to keep your thoughts on good things, purposeful things and things that were lovely. It seemed to resonate with me. I am a ministers daughter and I have been in ministry most of my life and wasn't quite sure where miniatures fit in my life!<br />
<br />
Yet I seemed to have this gift of creating things, and I seemed to feel like I came alive while sewing, quilting and creating. So I very simply prayed one day asked God to show me, not a sign, but just something that made sense about what I was making and creating.<br />

And sure enough, I found that scripture and a few others that talked about blessing the work of my hands. I seem to have blessed hands! How about you? Do you like to sew or stitch or make things? There is just something about all of this that gets to me.<br />

Long story short I enjoy making things and creating patterns that show others how to make things. And simple. That is a key thing for me. Make patterns that are simple for this reason - I learned how to sew (from my mother)<br />

and quilt (from my grandmother), learned how to make polymer clay foods (via Youtube videos). I learned these things from others, but took it and added my flavor to it. This started for me when I was in 3rd grade and my mother taught me to make doll clothes.(Barbie doll clothes). From there I got to choose fabric and my love for fabric collecting (hoarding) began!<br />

You can learn how to make little strawberries too. I bought polymer clay and watched Youtube videos by countless polymer clay artists and practiced until I made a few that passed the test. The ones that didn't pass the test got thrown away. Sometimes you have to just throw things away!<br />

I realized I needed to create a plan, a system or a process to help me be more successful Or rather just get the really important things done. In college that meant studying earlier and not leaving it to the night before a big test. That was usually a train wreck when that happened.

Then I do my devotions by reading the Bible, a woman’s devotional or a Christian perspective, Christian lifestyle, don’t give up kind of book. After about 45-60 minutes this is my time to realize my best plans and best goals. If I am going to get something extra done this is where I add minutes that add up to hours.. I start with 30 minutes. At the end of a week, if I have gotten up 30 minutes earlier each morning I have added time to my day. 3.5 hours extra a week. The same would apply if done at night.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The key is taking a certain amount of minutes or hours and only doing this one thing with it. For me that is writing, blogging, working on a website, etc. Managing time with little ones in the house is obviously a different world. Take into account what the daily schedule requires. I remember when I had 3 kids under 5 I lived for a nap. That is all I could think of because I was so tired.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi498aSFsjkSE1y-X8gBYImRNTmnLAhQPzUK9hxhdEUIlcbz129M8FFz5vxO2T8y9pVkChZCeUIJXfycKEZ-yPysJp2pbcozMUM89cZy_lpSCjFQ6GcQbeVRzoc8NuSVFLk1AdST20DMo2hzj5N5uHjnBsUFwUQXiCs71TOrbougHG3gszfzAdMj8Xb/s1080/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi498aSFsjkSE1y-X8gBYImRNTmnLAhQPzUK9hxhdEUIlcbz129M8FFz5vxO2T8y9pVkChZCeUIJXfycKEZ-yPysJp2pbcozMUM89cZy_lpSCjFQ6GcQbeVRzoc8NuSVFLk1AdST20DMo2hzj5N5uHjnBsUFwUQXiCs71TOrbougHG3gszfzAdMj8Xb/w383-h383/8.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(75, 79, 88); color: #4b4f58; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Be realistic and genuinely forgiving of yourself, your energy and stamina level.

I was asked by the editor to make little sleeping bags in a summer scene. The sleeping bags I show step by step instructions how to make them and then I placed them in front of this cabin by the lake picture I have in my home. I found it at a thrift store and I love it so much. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Did you ever go camping when you were younger? I loved camping. We went each year to Yosemite and had a tent, sleeping bags, home cooked food, and s'mores. Very sweet memories of camping. I know my mom must have done tons of work to make it happen. I also know she was extremely organized and it was incredible the campsite arrangement she put together. After so many years of doing it she had the process down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lp_ey9Yfk5AONc027lJfhUGYKfCpIEdb7Hu7RechGrwYbzVtjndJOuRTKh7T9SlhIv_VrwGTwQv3cGZ2KaBsdJedty6_eWsvPJtiugnJxvqehc4HKSSUxOPvioz4uLroHkB5pGim441YyfvoDEyZj9Q96WR4Wtdm5Ko-iDcLC7L8-WEZLYKP0G8b/s4032/IMG_8642.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lp_ey9Yfk5AONc027lJfhUGYKfCpIEdb7Hu7RechGrwYbzVtjndJOuRTKh7T9SlhIv_VrwGTwQv3cGZ2KaBsdJedty6_eWsvPJtiugnJxvqehc4HKSSUxOPvioz4uLroHkB5pGim441YyfvoDEyZj9Q96WR4Wtdm5Ko-iDcLC7L8-WEZLYKP0G8b/w300-h400/IMG_8642.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>These little sleeping bags were purposely made with pretty fabric instead of the army green that our sleeping bags from the past were made with.

They work well for little miniature floral arrangements. Making miniature flowers is doable for me, but I don't have upwards of 5 hours to make a floral arrangement, so I lean more towards miniature flowers from the craft store.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizs3-f-FgAwaKvvKUJgRxOPKJrFaVWA3Twogs9oTqY-BNUitJ_TUGbg77oqSxamfP3VdOAoX5q-cmueuZZQWTcNlAGVEhfY5A0x1Dqv6lZbqprSjBZtzriF7fkNVQsfJts3Eb1-Jzk3yS_PsF5qLPhk03bFVW3FhQO6Cc7pGzTajjcwWn7y7ybQJe6/s934/IMG_7918.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="934" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizs3-f-FgAwaKvvKUJgRxOPKJrFaVWA3Twogs9oTqY-BNUitJ_TUGbg77oqSxamfP3VdOAoX5q-cmueuZZQWTcNlAGVEhfY5A0x1Dqv6lZbqprSjBZtzriF7fkNVQsfJts3Eb1-Jzk3yS_PsF5qLPhk03bFVW3FhQO6Cc7pGzTajjcwWn7y7ybQJe6/s320/IMG_7918.jpeg" width="257" /></a></div>My favorite thing is creating miniature quilt cupboards. I have a real sized quilt cupboard in my home that I switch out quilts for each season....I have. a lot of quilts! I love quilts. They. make me so happy and are really like comfort food to me, except I snuggle with them, even the old ones my grandmother made.</div><div><br /></div><div>It also makes me happy to see my grandchildren snuggled up in a quilt my grandmother made, that her hands quilted. There is something about that legacy that really gets to me. However I don't use her quilts for these little creations. I buy quilt cutters (that is what they are called on Ebay) and then I cut them up and use them in my little cupboards.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqVLddp3gjNGIh4djdItSEDrStor27HjBJkP3UmNCoqu-aDTOhmJIh2ErNYQdz1d9n8LFbDDXl5bJqcdsC8I3iCqzJI4dS3ULrz437QdinD_HR0Oc6eqv9DctF64WanIhza1_oz-G8st0Iab6czzi_SP5Ot3Wb9bFeVsgK8a7qaBiEfSkHV6KL2Fk/s750/IMG_7919.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="729" data-original-width="750" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqVLddp3gjNGIh4djdItSEDrStor27HjBJkP3UmNCoqu-aDTOhmJIh2ErNYQdz1d9n8LFbDDXl5bJqcdsC8I3iCqzJI4dS3ULrz437QdinD_HR0Oc6eqv9DctF64WanIhza1_oz-G8st0Iab6czzi_SP5Ot3Wb9bFeVsgK8a7qaBiEfSkHV6KL2Fk/s320/IMG_7919.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dpnLMP1GO5avL119Q1-u5qeL0A24MX1jP2F5JCD_KOC0_dB4rGx0SbkckmKAAHQ777RE_h7ml4WtTn3c-9Pyozzzcc1O7sU-UVhiUofguUi_9u1yCxX-spOTLjBnEw9NZ8w_wzNQ8aJ6w0GRxNgmb8D6hv-Rg97Jv25OA_zqXmSXcXGbPRwc89Mk/s754/IMG_7920.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dpnLMP1GO5avL119Q1-u5qeL0A24MX1jP2F5JCD_KOC0_dB4rGx0SbkckmKAAHQ777RE_h7ml4WtTn3c-9Pyozzzcc1O7sU-UVhiUofguUi_9u1yCxX-spOTLjBnEw9NZ8w_wzNQ8aJ6w0GRxNgmb8D6hv-Rg97Jv25OA_zqXmSXcXGbPRwc89Mk/s320/IMG_7920.jpeg" width="318" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6FB0mQJqsF2y4x43j5Wh_VSI2qYOEpWt2juSS5svJAndKjnYG85iM4Juw5UwRxHKGlBETuxz9nQI3No0_VNigpSBwkdbZa3PYRn10nSY7V1jBaJvu45wtdbtbLAqBx13h18zEVqx8PuhSq-4rUDZSB3UOyKq7c3jCQ1JYX-4s-6FnPFnWoI3yWN0/s751/IMG_7921.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6FB0mQJqsF2y4x43j5Wh_VSI2qYOEpWt2juSS5svJAndKjnYG85iM4Juw5UwRxHKGlBETuxz9nQI3No0_VNigpSBwkdbZa3PYRn10nSY7V1jBaJvu45wtdbtbLAqBx13h18zEVqx8PuhSq-4rUDZSB3UOyKq7c3jCQ1JYX-4s-6FnPFnWoI3yWN0/s320/IMG_7921.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMbPUEak_kUuRPlh4VgYMywb9YKlyRvfb5wRMC3bC9YR03S3JY8zRZmQ94iPYt84Ij7EzKsvw2mm53SYDpVo9FIfbk1qKKI9ngNltivBwt1XSxHIMtHXMGRDZev4scE9q8mOi1yPvyCPYuuPM9oe5DW07etFSxe47AIn_jWBNh75EcUDbn9yJWv3w/s987/IMG_7931.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="987" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMbPUEak_kUuRPlh4VgYMywb9YKlyRvfb5wRMC3bC9YR03S3JY8zRZmQ94iPYt84Ij7EzKsvw2mm53SYDpVo9FIfbk1qKKI9ngNltivBwt1XSxHIMtHXMGRDZev4scE9q8mOi1yPvyCPYuuPM9oe5DW07etFSxe47AIn_jWBNh75EcUDbn9yJWv3w/s320/IMG_7931.jpeg" width="243" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The miniature dress quilt below is extremely easy to make and sew.

<span style="font-size: large;">I remember my grandmother's sewing area....not quite a room. But a desk with an old Singer sewing machine.....And she had pincushions, the old fashioned kind. She also had lovely glass jars filled with buttons, laces, ribbons, trims, all sorts of decorative items. I was in love. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> The loveliest memory was a quilt, on a wooden quilt frame in front of a large window. Several ladies in her quilting group would come over and quilt with her while their kids were in school. I was fascinated with this process very early on!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've even made some sewing hutches in miniature with several of these little items that I remember so well. This room is in miniature, and I believe all these items have sold. But I love the quilts on the wall, the ironing board way in the back of the room with red floral fabric on it. See the little iron with the red handle on the ironing board?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My grandmother had a wonderful round tin with a lid that she kept straight pins in. I loved to look in there. Many of them had colorful heads. My mother just used the plain straight pins, nothing fancy, so I was enamored with my grandmothers wild side, so to speak when it came to straight pins!</span></div>

IN my line of work, and ministry work I run into people all the time that are on empty. The work on empty, they think on empty, they go to church come home and live on empty. </p><p>I am a firm believer on filling ourselves up with good things, wonderful things, Godly things, productive things to be filled up and pour out. You can't pour out when you are on empty.</p><p>At work I am a Bereavement and Volunteer Coordinator at a medical Hospice office and I have to fill myself up. My job requires a lot out of me and I can't be there and be empty. So I pick things to fill me up. I listen to great worship music, listen to personal and blog, business related podcasts, read good books that are for spiritual and personal development. </p><p>On all these planner printables that I am giving you be mindful of doing some new things to invest in yourself. You can listen to great music or worship playlists on Youtube for free.</p><p>You can listen to personal and spiritual development videos on Youtube for free</p><p>You can borrow good books from friends....for free. Do something good for yourself.</p><p>Invest with purpose.</p><p>Here are planner printables for you to save and print out. Hover your mouse over the image. Right click, then save to your computer or device (bigger devices are better than your phone if possible).</p><p>Once saved you can send to your printer or your favorite printing source to print out and begin filling in. </p><p>Print on regular copy paper. </p><p>We can all save things to our phone, but there is something just good for your soul when you write out lists, checklists, goals, ideas and projects. It is like cleaning out your closet. You just feel better after you write it all down.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Q3hZe56hWUL10g3vr4EdQbbBMrxR_HgidEQcjOFtSUYn6Hh3yDiY1lI-AL7q20otdc-_EpGnKvxt9zU4ivtvTRjWzD3ZcsllSNA5utgp0MseJGjBpf7RvyOMnfMszC2De3e8CEH6wlLgAHatcU2LgIEVEsYpA-WqaJn5zKFsAgflDp7B0H4ShRSJ/s2000/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Q3hZe56hWUL10g3vr4EdQbbBMrxR_HgidEQcjOFtSUYn6Hh3yDiY1lI-AL7q20otdc-_EpGnKvxt9zU4ivtvTRjWzD3ZcsllSNA5utgp0MseJGjBpf7RvyOMnfMszC2De3e8CEH6wlLgAHatcU2LgIEVEsYpA-WqaJn5zKFsAgflDp7B0H4ShRSJ/w494-h640/3.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Start with some basic goals.

We are having very cold days, snow, icy wind and more! Doing an ice skating routine in my driveway slipping and sliding can be precarious! Haha and hilarious. Yes I've fallen a couple time and I am trying to avoid that. Since I am inside because it is freezing outside I am working on some new patterns and wanted to give one away for Valentines' day. It is a quick stitch and you'll have it done in no time.</p><p>Some very sweet news too. After a very heart breaking loss of our granddaughter 1 1/2 years ago, our daughter recently had another baby. HIs name is Bobby Ray and has brought a lot of joy to our hearts.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeJUZ1aCY3x3P0WLlexiqTUDEUn5NpJHuJ0-UdlC3SxmSgWasDePjPq8GGThvKMuf3XJHNZvcvvpHHph2WO6CtRb4RGnUTnQhPQMiPgevoq23IEYnAiyR8Utu0P-MxmzwdP2VpoQep0C5Fdgj8X2i42SRa_IfLBgMKttbtGxdBh8m7EBDg--88bNK/s1597/4377F94C-B3C4-453A-82D6-BA3EE38D3CBE.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1597" data-original-width="1597" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeJUZ1aCY3x3P0WLlexiqTUDEUn5NpJHuJ0-UdlC3SxmSgWasDePjPq8GGThvKMuf3XJHNZvcvvpHHph2WO6CtRb4RGnUTnQhPQMiPgevoq23IEYnAiyR8Utu0P-MxmzwdP2VpoQep0C5Fdgj8X2i42SRa_IfLBgMKttbtGxdBh8m7EBDg--88bNK/s320/4377F94C-B3C4-453A-82D6-BA3EE38D3CBE.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_lszAfmErxswcsDZwabYoom_tAGn1Z-pG5IZlwuGKvWOe4fe_g5vmfpLYM84eHktxqXhcjqsj6t2Vp59O8iODV9wTuMBTd1HA33uL4FJdj4hn33t_yP1_JAtu1o7xsznGXHkqXxBXppYF6PDbEuk3WPP29zALbaPNUpgfneVzkqsCd7C9t_xDafX/s2016/E0964506-3BB3-484A-8B9C-166738DFD7A0.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_lszAfmErxswcsDZwabYoom_tAGn1Z-pG5IZlwuGKvWOe4fe_g5vmfpLYM84eHktxqXhcjqsj6t2Vp59O8iODV9wTuMBTd1HA33uL4FJdj4hn33t_yP1_JAtu1o7xsznGXHkqXxBXppYF6PDbEuk3WPP29zALbaPNUpgfneVzkqsCd7C9t_xDafX/w300-h400/E0964506-3BB3-484A-8B9C-166738DFD7A0.heic" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He is a sweet little guy.

I have an overflow of projects, patterns and ebooks I am creating. Being an idea person, I struggle with wanting to do too many projects! Cross stitching by far is my favorite. However I am a professional miniaturist, and create monthly collections, often for magazine articles, my Etsy shop, Instagram, etc. On Instagram you can find me at @ribbonwoodcottageminiatures<div><br /></div><div>This cross stitch pattern is downloadable for you. (To do this simply click on the image, right click, SAVE to your device, tablet or computer. It is better to save on a tablet or computer than your phone I have found.)</div><div><p></p><p>Once saved you can send to be printed, or print on your home printer. (Amazon has a color printer for $79.00 - HP that works well for charts and color printables.) I of course print out an original copy of all my patterns to keep and this printer has worked well for me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the first Free pattern/chart for February.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS7ysLPKgf3ObaU7QJPb6IZ1nGX52WWW7d2w1aNr8-WT78mp3prXKk8qKCa6KbFZL_sZbkFyrimWQXBgCOsng-3Ezna_gI0Q1KbPmDH-BTojQXoP-pMlBhnfq7hHWIOdjAtLao0jgGmFQloLTrMEgEJqsGevucuqv9qB5O03cavN28SiKs1OF9r80S/s1080/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS7ysLPKgf3ObaU7QJPb6IZ1nGX52WWW7d2w1aNr8-WT78mp3prXKk8qKCa6KbFZL_sZbkFyrimWQXBgCOsng-3Ezna_gI0Q1KbPmDH-BTojQXoP-pMlBhnfq7hHWIOdjAtLao0jgGmFQloLTrMEgEJqsGevucuqv9qB5O03cavN28SiKs1OF9r80S/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAck4J5wxzK9WpxwOwbmtgSOff1ZhECbLglieTuaUJJm3d5Ua4pSrKuDUvR3YAfiqO6QDnKpP6KReMTboOoIxqw_534MBesauvpnmMGJYCJe9u5QPde3CNG-ydlX6YcLs0_TbS6VytXXBbVdeg3PBIj4mBPTHSn7fsWN98UqmnRpkL6COn3u-k8XUf/s1080/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAck4J5wxzK9WpxwOwbmtgSOff1ZhECbLglieTuaUJJm3d5Ua4pSrKuDUvR3YAfiqO6QDnKpP6KReMTboOoIxqw_534MBesauvpnmMGJYCJe9u5QPde3CNG-ydlX6YcLs0_TbS6VytXXBbVdeg3PBIj4mBPTHSn7fsWN98UqmnRpkL6COn3u-k8XUf/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Print out the two images and begin stitching.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also cross stitched on White Aida 14ct cross stitch fabric.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOxXfrQ0m4eZTtHagcF8q_zFGlJhdKE4uFqSSnT3PlyTAM7h_6xTd_WU6-AD5s-qJNFqafJJWJwRRzSNgsznFpSGXvM_nVT6r3NS5MY8glBsMeRa_Or6R5qLbzJ1xkU-Ld6Kl0qpM4iGvXYKFNEMtgRhQ_IGoOEPtnCjRyxzVHbBPs4w9-tbM8cJL/s1080/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOxXfrQ0m4eZTtHagcF8q_zFGlJhdKE4uFqSSnT3PlyTAM7h_6xTd_WU6-AD5s-qJNFqafJJWJwRRzSNgsznFpSGXvM_nVT6r3NS5MY8glBsMeRa_Or6R5qLbzJ1xkU-Ld6Kl0qpM4iGvXYKFNEMtgRhQ_IGoOEPtnCjRyxzVHbBPs4w9-tbM8cJL/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For more cross stitch, embroidery, wool felt applique patterns visit my shop that is having a sale all through February <a href="https://ribbonwoodcottage.etsy.com" target="_blank">HERE </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLwcDmdh9UEj9_JLsTy8iAP7PdCS3UqQEgINoo4OIe4KhNygo853M-Ua3CMx1UEu2zUmvcNe4nuG7gSZEDNZ9LTgGeKNwfdigwAx2U8f5f6wegOUBpaCXuilQx9J32zkxD-ig95lWcAamrsxY2dpoxiosWN9sjtckqOJZbT-wDgxNg4CY2NLCFZ1l5/s1080/BIGSale.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLwcDmdh9UEj9_JLsTy8iAP7PdCS3UqQEgINoo4OIe4KhNygo853M-Ua3CMx1UEu2zUmvcNe4nuG7gSZEDNZ9LTgGeKNwfdigwAx2U8f5f6wegOUBpaCXuilQx9J32zkxD-ig95lWcAamrsxY2dpoxiosWN9sjtckqOJZbT-wDgxNg4CY2NLCFZ1l5/w400-h400/BIGSale.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>EACH WEEK - I have a system- I get up early and have my devotions which is essential to my life and day job.

I do. I love old muffin tins, measuring cups, flour sifters and canisters to name a few. This new collection will have a quilt, and some vintage decor in each cross stitch pattern. They are not difficult. I love to cross stitch and it seems to be very soothing once I got the hang of it.</p><p>You can find the pattern <a href="https://www.etsy.com/RibbonwoodCottage/listing/1401413635/cross-stitch-pattern-quilts-at-home?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1675453064041" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>My grandmother was an avid quilter and I am so fortunate to have some of her quilts that were passed down to me from my mother. My mother taught me to hand stitch. She did it to give me something to do in church to keep me quiet. We were in church most nights as my dad was the minister and speaker. During the day we would cut out fabric and cut out doll bedding, doll clothes, pillows, etc. Pretty much straight lines, and a few curved. She taught me the basics of sewing straight lines, sewing doll blankets and pillows together. I am sure what I made was rough looking but I was thrilled to make my own doll blankets and then Barbie clothes. But it started something in me that turned into a business in my later years. I love to sew. Love to create. Love to make pattern</p><p>After making over 100 patterns I have now branched out and I am making templates (pattern) for others to use to make their own sewing, stitching, quilting pattern.</p><p>It was so frustrating for me when I needed to create my first pattern for a magazine article. I remember crying and feeling so unprepared to create digital designs. </p><p>So I decided to take what I do and make it possible (with a lot of instructions and photos) for others to make their own pattern. I know people are so talented and make their own designs but may not know how to put that into pattern form and upload it to sell. So I have also started taking what I create and making it possible for others to create and sell their own patterns. Here is the Template with an instruction booklet to go with it. This took me months to create, and I am now focusing on this more since the response has been overwhelming.</p><p>Take a look at the <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/RibbonwoodCottage/listing/1198090561/pattern-workbook-template-pre-made?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1675453560235" target="_blank">PATTERN WORKBOOK TEMPLATE HERE</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Making things brings me great joy. I know it brings most people a great deal of happiness to make, sew, paint, design, build and create things. That is why I personally started making patterns, so that others could easily make what I create and find their creative purpose. I also have created workbooks now for others to follow to make their 'own' pattern. It took me months to figure out how to make my own patterns and I thought if I could help a quilter or cross stitcher create their own pattern with their own design maybe I could assist them in that process.
