Score. One groovy, vintage needlepoint on it's way. If this is indeed as fun
as it seems, then it will be cleaned, matted and framed for my
grass-green loft. If not, well then, I still had fun buying it.
Thanks, eBay.

Hi, I’m fairly new to your blog and just spent some time reading over some of your posts. I really enjoyed getting to know you. Just wanted to say hi and that I’ll be back to see what’s new. Oh and great find on ebay! Hope it’s as good as it looks!
I’m thinking fun!
Groovy indeed! I like it alot. I don’t think that I would have passed that up either.:)
love it… show it to us once it’s in it’s final resting place! i can see why you couldn’t resist!!
Very cute! I’m sure it will great in your house.

That *is* a score! Love the flowers and of course the grass green.
gasp! How do you clean needlepoint? Love it!!!
Heather, I really enjoyed your magazine article.
You are so inspiring. I have your complete scrapbooking line and have shared Heather Bailey with my family and friends!
It is so cute and will fit right into your studio. Whatta find!
Great find! Don’t you just love ebay? Last Summer, I scored a 1930’s queen size wedding ring quilt top—all hand sewn. Simply fabulous. 🙂
Super cute, Heather! I love it! In fact, I have been on ebay searching for vintage embroidery all night! FUN! I want to make a pillow with a fun embroidery, too.
Take care,
Laurie
eBay is my favorite place to shop right now!!! I scored a $200 diaper bag for $30 – how sweet is that?!
What a GREAT find Heather!!!
Darling! I love Ebay too, but never bought embroidered things there. I mostly buy vintage patterns, fabrics, trims, and then shoes to go with the outfits made from the patterns, fabrics, and trims.
Please post a photo of your grass green loft. When I was a kid in the 70s, my bedroom was grass green and lemon yellow. Oh so 70s! But I chose grass green for the carpet because it made sense to have green carpet when you play “Barbie goes camping”. Very practical, don’t you think?
But I love your designs!
Are you planning on putting out the patterns of the outfits from the Mary Engelbreit Home Companion magazine story about you? I loved them all!
This is a nice find. This needlework will look lovely with coordinating matting and a beautiful frame. I’m sure you’ll find just the right thing to make it shine.
Beautiful, what great colors!
Show us pic when its up- I love it!
Lovely. Always enjoy reading up on your tricks and finds!
Don’t you just love Ebay? What a find!
Oh, that’s awesome! How fun! After years of being annoyed by gratuitous cross-stitch and needlepoint pieces, I’ve rediscovered a love for the craft especially when it’s really the best medium for a particular item. I love the rough geometric nature of these flowers. Nice find. =)
What a find! ~Kelly

Oh…I lovey!!!
oh i love needle point, just don’t have the time for it!!!!
Awesome colors! I love those finds!….I have a question for you….would you be interested in doing an interview through email about how you got started as a designer? It is something I would like to do someday so I like to hear people’s stories. I would post it on my blog for a link back to yours.
looks promising!!! What a great needlepoint!

What a treasure. There’s always a special buzz when you find a vintage piece that you love. I cant’ wait to see it hanging in the loft
It’s beautiful!!! I’m just sorry I didn’t see it first!! 🙂 It reminds me of your designs and colours… Very lovely! samm
Beautiful!!!
Looks great! I bet it will be even better in person!
I have that EXACT needlepoint! Back in the late 70’s my mother had quit smoking and she used needlepoint as a means to help with not having a cigarette in her hand, thus creating this exact needlepoint! I will have to dig it out and display it proudly, as I know you will. Have fun.
Ooooh. I can see why you are just a bit proud of your find. Scrumptious.
Do you yet know where it will go? Or are you trusting it will find it’s place eventually?
It’s so beautiful 😀
Wow, ebay huh?…love the print and the green colored background.
Leave it to eBay to make what is old new again. Great find!
Very Nice 🙂
I like it 🙂

i think this is so fun. i love the quirky finds people come across on ebay.
That is pretty cool~ I believe I have the same needlepoint project in my closet~ I need to dig it out and see if it is the same~ Different colors, but the flowers look oh so familiar! I would have stitched it in the 70’s or 80’s… I never framed it…
