StitchinByTheLake: Desperately Searching

UPDATE: I'm so excited! I e-mailed Arlene per Robin's comment below. I had e-mailed her months ago and apparently had the wrong address because this time I heard back within the hour. She has offered to sell retail to anyone who can't find her patterns in their area - I'm doing a happy dance! By the way, she has a fabulous new blog at www.quiltingwithrabbits.com which I have put on my reader - she has such beautiful things there. Give it a try - I bet you'll like it. Thanks!

I've been looking for a shop in the U.S. that has a copy of Arlene Neely's patterns Summertime and Tea in the Garden. She designs embroidery patterns like this one

which is on her website The Rabbit's Haven. Summertime is a current pattern but Tea in the Garden is no longer showing so it must be discontinued. Her website is wholesale only so I can't order from her, though I sure wish I could. But I'd gladly order from someone else if I could find these. I've completed her pattern Precious Memories and am ready to put it into a quilt but I want more! Any help out there?

Robin C said...: I have the pattern and ordered it directly from the designer. They mailed it to me in Virginia. I emailed Arlene and she got back to me really quick.; January 4, 2012 at 11:47 AM

Welcome to the Garden of Egan said...: That is so cute.
It looks like a bit of work, but probably not from someone as yourself.

I look forward to seeing the finished product.; January 4, 2012 at 9:28 PM

Quilt n Queen said...: I am going to see if Cori will order the Rabbits Haven patterns for her online shop. I've always like them and have one, but there are a lot of really cute ones I would luv to have. She is carrying a lot more patterns and books in here shop now....has even added Australia designer patterns. She has a few Aurifil embroidery 12 weight threads in stock and I luv it...sews like butter. I also like Cosmos and Presencia perle cottons and floss. I try to avoid DMC.
