ISO English/country cottage pattern to finish project
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:47 pm
Hello, all. Long-time cross-stitcher, but this is my first post in this forum.
(Full disclosure: I have posted this request in another cross-stitch forum, but after nearly two weeks, I have no replies, so I'm trying a second forum.)
A couple of months ago, a lady at my parents' church passed away. Her husband gave her cross-stitching and quilting supplies to my mom, and Mom discovered *a lot* of unfinished projects.
There is one project -- an English/country cottage -- for which Mom did not get the pattern. We don't know if it was in a magazine that may have been tossed during the husband's purge, or if the lady lost it over the years.
I've posted a picture of the unfinished project to Instagram. https://instagram.com/p/BYZRWEEjHpu/" target="_blank" target="_blank
I have done a fair amount of searching on Google (including an image search, using a pic of the unfinished project), Etsy, Pinterest and eBay, and I have had no success finding this pattern. The patterns I've found for Marty Bell seem most similar to the style, but I haven't found it in searching Marty Bell's patterns.
Given how I've had no success in an image search, I'm wondering if it might have been in a magazine, rather than a book. But I really have no idea.
I know this is a long shot, but any chance someone here knows -- or has a guess at -- the pattern/designer/publisher? It's OK if you don't know where we could *buy* it right now. We'd just be glad to have information to find it.
