In thinking about which e-pattern to chose as the featured e-pattern for the Twelve Months Of Sewing Club for September 2010 I decided that maybe a little change up this month would be nice.  Every once in awhile change is good - so, let's shake things up a bit.

And, who better to shake things up a bit than "William Come Or Won't They?" one of most popular of scarecrows.

So,what's the change?  Well,  instead of you buying the featured e-pattern and then selecting a free e-pattern for the month of September everyone who buys an e-pattern from our Linda Walsh Originals or Linda Walsh Originals E-Pattern website will get our "William Come Or Won't They?" e-pattern for free.   He's hard to resist - don't you think?



“William Come Or Won't They?”, 7” Primitive Scarecrow Doll E-Pattern - Stout Series
William Come Or Won't They? can’t figure out whether the crows are going to come or not. If they do, he’s prepared.




He is a free standing scarecrow doll with a cloth body, an embroidered face with button eyes. He is wearing a patched coat with buttons and pockets, two scarves, and a hat. His hair is made of raffia and he’s holding a stained wooden rake. “William Come or Won’t They?” is coffee stained throughout.



He's a scarecrow. And, he knows he's a scarecrow through and through. In fact, he comes from a long line of scarecrows. 

 "William Come or Won't They?" has a different problem. He just can't figure out whether the crows are going to come or not. If they do, he wants to be prepared.  

After all, that's what they taught him in the "Scarecrow Boy Scouts" and the "Scarecrow Army."

Hey, all you crows! Williams ready for yah!!!

Come and get him.

We hope you enjoy making "William Come Or Won't They?"

In thinking about which e-pattern to chose as the featured e-pattern for the Twelve Months Of Sewing Club I decided that maybe a little fright might be in order. Now I'm not one to go around scaring people so I thought maybe a little "nice" fright would still be frightening, but in a nice way.

And, what better example to choose than "Ichabod - I'm Not Afraid Of Your Crane!" who is an adorable Victorian doll.  He's from our Halloween collection of patterns, so he qualifies for "fright."  However, he's anything but frightening.  In fact, he's the one who's frightened, not us!

I'm hoping that life will settle down for me in the next few months and allow me to do something that really cheers me up - blogging!  Well,  that's not exactly correct.  Many things cheer me up.  One of which is walking by "Wanna Quilt, Annie" and "Read All About It, Andy!"  where they sit on the top of one of my bookcases.  Every time I walk by them I catch myself smiling.  It doesn't get much cheerier than that! 

It's December, 6th 2009 and we've had the first snow of the season. My husband is out cleaning up the snow - a heavy wet mix which is the worst kind of snow to get. And, if we don't get any warm days in the next few days this layer of snow will freeze and be with us all winter. Of, joyful! The price of living in New England! LOL LOL

While cleaning up snow is torture - especially for my husband - I just love snowmen and snow-lady dolls. I'm not sure why. Maybe it has to do with their carrot noses or bright white bodies. Maybe it's because they can be made out of any medium conceivable. Maybe it's because they're so delightful and create warm memories of childhood. Playing in the snow. Snowball fights, etc.

In thinking about the snow I decided that the "Instant Download E-Pattern" for the months of December and January for our Twelve Months of Sewing Club should be one of my favorite snow-lady e-patterns. I decided to select LW219LWOEP "Petronella, The Birdhouse Lady!" She totally delightful.  Sweet, charming, and concerned about her fine feathered friends.

We just LOVE the Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving season and hope you do, too.    We've given you a LOT to choose from and a LOT of time to decide.   Have fun choosing, sewing, and decorating.

It's August, 3rd 2009 and I have witches on the brain. You see, I just posted an article on my Dolls Blog about the handmade witches that we have for sale in our Linda Walsh Originals Dolls website and have been thinking of writing a little history of witches article for my Linda's Blog.

So, I have witches on the brain! LOL LOL

In thinking about the witches I  decided that the "Instant Download E-Pattern" for the month of August for our Twelve Months of Sewing Club should be one of my favorite Halloween witch e-patterns. I decided to select LW167LWOEP "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch." She's a Victorian witch and very mannerly to boot. Which is okay - I guess - as far as witches go!

So, how does the featured pattern deal work? Well, if you buy the "Featured Instant Download E-Pattern" you will get a FREE Linda Walsh Originals E-Pattern* (*of equal or lessor value) emailed to you. So, if you buy "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch" you can choose another e-pattern* for FREE.

All you have to do is tell us which FREE-Pattern* (*of lessor or equal value) you would like in the comments field of the PayPal checkout. We will then email your FREE E-Pattern to you.


Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch -14” Victorian Witch Doll E-Pattern - Victorian Holiday Series

Just CLICK this link to "Buy $5.95 "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch" Instant Download E-Pattern Now."

You'll be brought to the page "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch" is on in our Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website where you can add "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch" to your shopping basket and then checkout.

I think most witches will tell you that over the hundreds of years that they have gotten a really bad rap!

You see, most people are afraid of witches and afraid that either a spell will be cast on them or they'll be turned into a toad!

That is just NOT so for most witches.

You see, most are gentle and kind. And, most are really very humanitarian. In fact, most are very polite and VERY well mannered.

At least that's what "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch!" tells us. She is anything but mean spirited and doesn't have a nasty bone in her body. Again, that's what she tells us!




In fact she loves life, loves people, kisses babies and loves everything and anything Victorian. So, she commissioned a whole bunch of Victorian outfits to be made for her. She figures that if she's going to be a Victorian witch then at least she should be stylish.

"Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch!" is a 14" Victorian witch from our new Holiday Victorian line.

Lady Amanda is a self-standing witch cloth doll. She has an embroidered and watercolor pencil painted face. She is wearing a cotton slip with black fringe trim. Her beautifully coordinated outfit includes a fashionable dress with black lace overskirt and satin skirt, coordinated orange plaid dress bodice, ribbon bow tied at the high waistline, and lace trimmed sleeves. Her short waisted jacket is lined and has gathered and puffy lined sleeves.




Her lined cape is made of black satin and drapes beautifully from her neck. She has a full head of thick and flowing gray mohair hair. Her witches hat is really anything but a true witches hat. It is a rounded black stain and lined bonnet with black lace trim, and 6 black lace and orange plaid bows and coordinated beautifully with her outfit.

Lady Amanda, is the epitome of stylishness. Or, at least she thinks she is. In fact, she'd argue with you that since the Queen made her a "Lady" with full title and benefits that she deserves respect. Of course, she'll never tell us who the "Queen" was that so endowed her with her "lady" title. The Queen of the witches perhaps? Hmmmm......

We hope you enjoy making "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch"
