My momma had these and I remember the packaging saying it was called hillbilly romance. Thank you so much for posting these I have looked all over for hers but can’t find them. I just recently was able to bring myself to go threw her dish towel material and instantly thought of these.

Sorry, Audra, I haven’t seen the pattern you describe. Most of the DOW chore patterns are of women and not couples. It’s probably a mail order pattern like Alice Brooks that wasn’t as widely circulated as Vogart, Superior or Workbasket.

I am searching for a particular pattern that I think is close to this, It is a day of the week pattern , quite vintage. it always has a couple in the kitchen doing variety of chores He has a thick part down the center simillar to this only a little longer and she has ringlets and a bow in every pattern, I have looked for weeks over the internet. Our family recently lost Granpa and I would love to surprise my sister in law with the pattern so that she could complete the set. It is missing Sundays dish towel. I have photo’s of the set but cant seem to post them here. Do you have any idea what pattern this is that I am describing?

So I have finally made these embroideries for my sister’s shower gift. I’ve uploaded photos of them to my Flickr account. Hopefully you can see them…

Sorry, I don’t have any information on this pattern. This is an old numotype and back then the transfer sheets rarely had any company markings. The only way to know it’s origin would be if it were in the original envelope. I bought them at an estate sale and they would just loose in a box.

I was wondering if you knew the exact name to this pattern? I MIGHT enter this series into a flickr.com embroidery contest, or just the homecoming one, i think your site is involed in the contest, thats how i found your site? maybe… anyhow if you know the name to this I would love to have that information for the contest and for myself so i can find similar patterns in the future! Thank you again for this and the others, I LOVE this vintage embroidery world and am really enjoying working on them.

I have no idea why “the trip” wasn’t linking to the full size image but it’s fixed now. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I love your site & the patterns – I was wondering if you have the “The Trip” pattern available for download? I have d/l the rest, but that one doesn’t have a link to it.

Thanks!

Most of the patterns are for embroidery but I do plan on expanding the quilting and crochet collection and adding knitting patterns………. my other favorite craft obsession. They are all vintage, copyright-free, with some dating back to the 1800s. Print them out, trace them with a hot iron transfer pen or trace them directly onto fabric using a sunny window or a lightbox. A cheap and easy lightbox can be simply fashioned by putting a lamp under a glass table and stacking the pattern and fabric on the glass. I use kid’s fine point crayola markers for tracing the lines but any washable pen will do just fine.

All the patterns are free and from my personal collection. You may download the embroidery patterns by clicking on the image and saving to your computer. You may use them for stitching items for personal use or for items that you intend to sell. You may not assemble them in a collection as I have on this site to give away or sell digitally (CD, website, etc.) Those of you that intend to digitize the images for machine embroidery either for personal use or commercially are free to do so as the work in digitizing is your own!
