Back again....



I hope I can manage to stay back this time... I have been flat out. We have been flooded in twice since Christmas. The last flood I have never seen so much water....




Lately I have been doing a lot of graphics work.  There are siggy tags, post it note holders, bookmarks and notepaper to name a few. I have some added to my website so pop on over and take a look....... 



I have also added some new Cottage Garden Threads to the website. So while you are there please check out the Threads page. They are gorgeous threads to work with. I also sell the hand dyed felts that Pam from Cottage Garden dyes and soon I will have her ric rac in stock as well.. Just waiting on the order to arrive......



This is my latest doll pattern. It is called Annie & Chooky. Both are freestanding as you insert dowel rods into the legs. The pattern is available for $10 + postage for a paper pattern or $7 for an e pattern. Just e mail me if you would like to buy one. I accept Pay Pal and Direct deposit for Aussie customers and Pay Pal for all international customers.





These are some more dolls I have just finished. I am about to start on the next batch....... Patterns for these little cuties will be available soon.
The little doll with the green dress and the one in the red check dress in the top pic are Gracie. Her pattern is available free from my Typepad blog. Just look under pages in the right hand side bar for Gracie and click to follow and download. The link to my Typepad blog is in the following section.

Please pop on over to my Typepad blog if you would like to download the freebie drawing for the Teddy BOM... I will download one per month until June..... so join my Typepad blog as a follower so you don't miss out on any...... They are cute.


I have added a second page to the Fabrics page on my website. Please check It out. Click on each pic to enlarge and you will see how many fat 1/4's are in each box and the price. 

Any orders from my blogs or website will give you and entry for a chance to win this cutie......

I will draw the winner by the random number generator on 
March 23rd.


That's all  for now.......

Hi Cath....I'm new to your blog and have been searching for 'Angels in Disguise' patterns for months....even talked to a vendor at the AQS Quilt show in Lancaster PA this past week. She was selling a lot of Australian designer patterns but could not help me with my search for 'Angels in Disguise'. When I returned home from the quilt show....I found a sweet package from a blogging friend in Australia. She found the 'Tea with Ted' pattern and knowing I was looking for it and the 'Teddy Bear Picnic' she sent it to me. She too has not seen the patterns in Australian quilt shops. I've noticed the Angels in Disguise website is "disabled". I'm really not sure how I found your blog but I have become a follower....I checked out your Typepad blog...'Cathron Country Designs' and luv the site. I will definitely be stitching your Teddy Bear BOM...I am a teddy bear collector....luv the baby animals and the ABC stitcheries too. I'm thrilled to have found your site and will be passing the info along in my blog soon....you are a very talented designer....are the other 2 ladies from 'Angels in Disguise' still designing?

I just completed 21 stitchery blocks for Helen Stubbing...she is going to raffle quilts (4 I think) to raise funds for the Queenland Flood Relief. I've forwarded the blocks to a lady in Missouri who is putting them in a quilt top. Hope all is well with you and the summer of 2011 will not be repeated....any time soon....the weather is causing destruction world wide....the winter in the USA has been a bad one and now Japan needs our prayers. Be safe and thanks for sharing your talents. Hugs from Michigan USA
