Embroidered Daydreams

Ever since I found that Garden Party Quilt pattern, I've had vintage embroidery transfers on the brain. I know there's a big zip lock bag full of them in the sewing room, but I have no clue where I put them. Some are from Grandma. And some are from a box of ancient Workbasket magazines I got dirt cheap at a yard sale almost a decade ago. I remember going through the badly damaged issues and pulling out the baby patterns I wanted to knit and saving all of the transfer sheets because those shouldn't be thrown away....so does that mean I've got one bag of them up there, or two?

And where did I tuck them? At the time, I had no intention of doing any embroidery any time soon, so they went into a safe corner. Those safe corners are really hard to find ten years later. Teenage Daughter went up last week to look for something and I asked her to check the drawers in the steamer trunk while she was at it. She didn't find my plastic bag, but she did find four or five unopened envelopes of really old transfers that I swear I've never seen before. Because my sewing room sometimes works like that.

Until I have time to get up there and dig around, at least Walmart still sells Aunt Martha's transfers, and they're dirt cheap.
