Click HERE to order book.
I know a bunch of you are working on the Crazy Season blog hop we were doing this year and this is perfect for that…I think this is a better option than sticking an adhesive product and then getting your project wet to get if off…here they are… 
You can find the Templates HERE to purchase.
Here they are all cut ready to use…in their categories.
So they day after I finished our Summer Block of the week I got these in the mail…and look what was included…
You would mark on dark with the our favorite marking pen. Click HERE for white marking pen. You would use lead pencil on light fabric…
When the feather stitch is complete…add the lazy daisy flowers…
Here is mine using no templates…I am pretty good…but with these the template my stitching would have been perfect…don’t get me wrong…I am perfectly fine with my stitching…but SO MANY people struggle with the stitches itself and then the spacing is another killer…so regardless of you level of expertise you NEED these template…
We have the book and the templates available on our website just click the links above in the post to “go there”…again…remember we so appreciate you ordering from us…and rewarding us for informing you on these great products…I know you know it is the right thing to do to support the little businesses.
We also have FREE shipping on a $100 order and…we just got a huge new shipment of Valdani 8 wt. threads if you need to pump up your order to reach the free shipping mark…We now have every thread color and weight Valdani has three strand floss, 12,8 and 5 weights……here are the new ones…again these are 8 weights we have not had before…those embroidery stitches look so much better in the thicker weights 8 and 5s…and before the thought enters your mind…yes…these are all coming home to live at Anchor Point. Here is a quick link to the threads I have shown them two ways so you can see the numbers and the colors better.
These are the JPs now available in 8 wt.
Just look how lovely this looks in our warehouse…
also…My cousin Mary is here visiting from Delaware…and she confiscated my templates for one of her projects she was working on…and now she is so crazy in love with her abilities… she was driving everyone crazy saying…how awesome she is now that she has these…she reminded us several times…every hour.
Mary and my sister Lisa met for the first time…we went to Amaze & Grace, the Harley shop…Culvers for dinner(on Mary’s list) and then to Lambeau!!! We had some fun…and…we should not shop together…ever…again! That’s all I’m saying…
If you want to win a book…please comment on something...I’m too crazy busy at the moment to think of something clever…
All for now…talk soon…LB

I always like new ways to make my projects look great.
Nice give away Lisa.
I have some finished blocks and felt stymied about where to go for piecing since I didn’t want to add another fabric color between my blocks. I now know exactly what will work and I love hand stitching!
Wow! I love the idea of those templates and the Valdani thread is just amazing! Love your stories about your family!
Do we need to order both the book and the templates? It states templates are included in the book.
You can make your own from the book… but for $30 my time and the materials and the accuracy is worth it

Great new treasures!

Love the idea of adding stitching to projects, giving that extra personal touch. The book and templates would be great fun to experiment with
Embroidery templates are a brilliant idea! Love it! And what fun times with family – such a treasure.
This book looks amazing. Crazy quilting is my favorite.
I’ve been in a slump over how to put together one of my wool projects and this has solved it! Yippee.
The love of fabric and thread runs in our DNA, I think.
The threads are drop dead gorgeous! Love the book and the templates. These would really help with placement. Thanks Lisa!
Love the templates. Just starting to do some embroidery, applique more my thing. But really enjoying

we are all crazy, my poor brother (God rest his soul, we lost him at 46), he sure put up with a lot. lol
I have struggled with those fancy stitches and have stayed away from doing them. Those templates are going to change my stitching! Thanks for supplying us woolers and quilters all the tools to make our craft so much fun!! Jackie
Oh my gosh. Something I could use. I haven’t started the crazy stitches because I end up ripping it out and starting over. Can’t seem to keep it straight.
Love reading your blog updates! What a great idea – embroidery templates!!!

I love the table mat in the picture with Mary stitching! Sister time is the best!
Wow, so much information in today’s blog post! LOVE the templates and I’m going to buy them as I love the stitches but I’m so intimidated by the crazy stitching that it actually holds me back. Now I’ll be able to stitch with confidence until my skills improve. The book looks wonderful and I would also love to get that, it’s going on my wish list. It looks like you three had so much fun together, a memory maker time for sure!!
OMG! Those stitch templates are a necessity. Have to have them.

The templates are so handy and make the time stitching so much faster and yet still relaxing. Thanks.
Looks like you gals had a blast! Good for the soul. Mary has the right idea. Templates are interesting.
The book looks awesome. I have trouble coming up with the right stitch to do and feel like I use the same thing over and over. Would love some new ideas. The templates would also take a lot of stress out of the process.
I am very new to doing wool projects. I keep ripping my stitches out because I don’t like them. This would be a wonderful addition to all my quilting supplies and might enable me to finish a wool project. Your work is beautiful and your stitches amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.
So glad that you have connected with your bio family. Just recently happened for my precious niece.
Love the templates to help with stitching! Sometimes mine is pretty good. Other times not so much.
I hope you bring some to the Jacksonville retreat too. I’m pretty sure our friend Donna Brantley will be interested.
You can sure tell that you two are sisters!
My favorite team, even living in NC, I too am a Packer Fan, go Pack. What a great idea are those templates certainly would improve stitch spacing.
Wow what a post! A crazy great book and amazing templates along with some family fun

OMG – templates for the stitches……I AM IN LOVE! I had surgery earlier this summer so it prevented me from starting my SBOW. I am now getting psyched to start and find these amazing templates. As a new woolly, I can’t tell you how excited I am to have these as my stitches will turn out so beautiful now. ORDERING 🙂

The templates make it look so easy to stitch those beautiful designs. I’ve never been good at embroidery but this might help me. Enjoy your time with family.
Would love the book….I know the basics but need some inspiration.
Oh wow, those stencils would be great to have!!
Looks like the three of you had a fun time! Those stitch cards would be a great addition for me as I have trouble with the fancy stitches in getting them to look even and straight. I would use them to add more to my wool projects for sure.
So glad you had fun with the girls. Sometimes a girl just gotta do what you gotta do. And it is so nice to have accomplices.

Have just started crazy quilting and think these templates and this book is a must have!! Thanks for all your tips and advice-
Love your blog- glad you had a good time out with your family-
The three of you look like you had a lot of fun! The book & templates will come in handy. Too bad the post came a few days after I placed an order with you. I’ll have to wait a bit to order them.
Would definitely use this book. Beginner that I Am. Thanks
I love the templates. I’m going to have to order them being I’m new to needle work and they will really help me.
You do sure a good job on your products.
The book and info are great, but the best part of your blog was the family photos of three women having fun. Thanks for sharing.
I love how your SBOW turned out, beautiful! Fun to see your photos throughout the summer, nothing like summer in WI. The book looks like a great addition to my stitching library.
The templates are genius!! I have recently started wool appliqué and will be ordering and using these! I am a perfectionist so these will be great!! ❤️
You all looked like you were having so much fun. Those templates look amazing. I do a lot of wool appliqué and they would surely up my game a lot. Love hearing from you. You are amazing.
Family + Football = “F”un
Bongean + Blog = “A”wesome
Thread + Templates = “B”eauty
If my math is correct then Primitive Gatherings = FAB!!
Absolutely love all the Valdani colors!! The templates would spur me on to make some beautiful things – I struggle with even stitches & drool over others work. Maybe I can be like them now!
My comment isn’t very clever either, but I WANT that book, please!
Those templates look amazing. I want to stitch now! I may NEED those! Darn..it’s off to work I go. Thanks for the chance to win!!
The book looks like a great resource!
Ordered the templates this morning! Several people were having trouble making the stars on the flag in our Old Glory class. I copied the flag on newsprint and gave each person a copy and they sewed their Stars right thru the newsprint, tore off the paper and they all ended up with perfect flags. Love your patterns!
I think I love those templates!
That stitch book looks like just what I need. Thanks for finding it!
Wow, those templates are a must have! I know perfection is overrated but it’s just the way I am. These templates will certainly help. Girls just want to have fun and you three are really had fun together.
😄 too funny! Shopping with ladies is dangerous and wonderful!! Love it all and those templates are a great idea, kinda think I DO need them in my life….oh and I need the quilt pattern, and some more thread and, and , and….
Those templates look amazing. Maybe I won’t have to rip out so many stitches if I would get those, ha! ha!
So glad to get a post from you! Love to see what you’re up to! Glad for the info for the templates and book-have to get them right away. And thanks so much for the fun crazy quilt sew a long. Now I will have some confidence the stitches will look great!
Love the templates!! And the book gives so many ideas! Part of the reasons we stitch is the fellowship of fellow fabric addicts!! Thanks for sharing all the fun!!💕
Love the stitching templates……. on my wish list now!
Templates are a great idea! I do struggle with my embroidery straying from the intended lines… I do need these! Thank you for sharing your wonderful quilts and tutorials.
Wow. Looks amazing!

Sandy
AHHHHH!!!! Did you see the button bouquet in the book? Super-cute! I totally need this book – because I definitely need another project!
Although we live in Minnesota, I have a grandson who is a crazy Packer fan and I think I need to find those sunglasses for him.
so many cool things in this post- beautiful threads, great book and templates, and fun girl time!
Think I need those templates, too. My stitches tend to get more and more teensy….this would help keep them more even. Love PG!
I love doing hand stitching and the book and templates would be very helpful! It looked like the three of you had lots of fun shopping which is good! You need to have fun because you work so hard and we all appreciate your efforts! Thanks for all you do for us 💗
Alright!!! I was thinking, “ I will never do these stitches!” Then, the classic Lisa sell – you show a sheep with the crazy stitches on it! Now I need the templates!!!

Thanks for the memories.
Glad you are HOME!!! Had so much fun at Quiltstock. We so enjoyed the classes with you! Love the templates. Enjoy the FALL! Thanks for all of the FUN!! PS. Going to order the DOVOs too!!

These templates are such a great idea!
Lisa,
I have so much to learn, I always wanted to learn to make this, I will be able with your templates and How to book.
I am so happy I found your website online…

I’ve seen the book but not the templates. I may actually make a decent dish with them.
I haven’t tried any fancy stitches- this would be perfect to get me going! Go Pack Go!!!

WTG templates for crazy stitches makes so much sense! I always find the crazy stitches to be frustrating. Perhaps I can change my mind knowing these tools are available. I know this would work great for my projects which continue to be a work in progress.
I want to live in your warehouse I love all the colors I see in the photos. Guess I need to get more.
Thanks for the informative post.
This set of book/templates sounds wonderful! I don’t struggle HA!, (yes, yes I do struggle to be even with my stitches and lengths). Would love to add this to my toolbox.

So happy to hear you recommend these templates! I actually just received set I special ordered fro my LQS. Wanted them for my Wool SBOW even before you posted the final picture. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Would love to win the hard copy of the book though. I bought the e-book, and it just isn’t the same.

Looking forward to see what you do with the sheep!

So happy to hear from you again. Love all of those new colors of thread. Just displaying them would brighten a room. Have some older embroidery books but a newer one is always a welcome addition to one’s library. The templates will be a quick help in placement. Shopping goes from being a necessity to a joy sometimes an expensive joy when one is with friends.
I love this new book. I must need to win it!
I am commenting on something.
Love your work.

Oh, my goodness! These templates are awesome and I’m continuing to kick myself for not doing the Summer Block because I LOVE this quilt. I’m new at wool work and decided to try the wool box to begin. Now I want to do so many different things. I hope you offer the Summer quilt as a pattern.
As always your projects are awesome to say the least.

Happy Labor Day Lisa. Love your new short hair. Those templates look awesome, I could really use them for guiding my stitches.
Oh my goodness! The book and templates look wonderful. Always struggling to get stitches even and this is the help I need.
Hi lisa! In my search for creative stitches for my crazy mat, your everyday crazy mat, pattern. I somehow discovered these templates and book. I bought the templates and love them. She also has a download for edging templates. Love those too! I didn’t buy the book though. This gal is a really small business too and was very happy to support her creativity.
Live the mat with the blue flowers that is draped beside Mary as she stitches! I would love to win the book.! Thanks!
Valdani threads look like a jar of skittles. Can’t get just one!
The book and templates look amazing. Great idea! I loved seeing all the thread in all their glorious colors lined up. And loved seeing pictures of you and your family having so much girl fun!
These templates look AWESOME! I love Mary’s stitching on her sheep. Such a great tool!

Love the lamb project! The templates look like they would be an awesome addition to any stitchers tool box!!!

I love the new threads you carry. The book and templates look amazing, thanks so much for letting us know about them. I am working on one of your warm winter blessings quilts you designed with your lovely fabrics for my current project. I love all your designs and fabrics! It looks like you three had a great time. Have a great day!

I think that its SO amazing that you have a sister and youre spending time together.
Wow the templates are fantastic, but the stitching book is above par. Still haven’t done my Crazy Quilt Stitching on my blocks. Have them prepped and ready to go. Love your work as always.
How blessed you are to have found a wonderful sister to fulfill each other’s life. I’m sure many tears have been there too. Your store in California is great, though I don’t get there very often. The thread colors are amazing, and I love using them. The book———wow wow!!!!
What a great addition to MY library it would make. Luv everything you do, but do hope you will always give some time for fun. Thanks.
That thread is just pure eye candy!!
These templates will be a big help. Wonderful you have found your sister. Wish I had one!
Book looks wonderful. I would love to do more stitches and this could be the answer to get me there. Those templates look really fun. I hope you will have them when I come in October.
I love the fact that no matter how crazy busy you are you take the time to share your life with us. That’s very special! I think these templates might help with my drift to the right as I stitch.
I love the pics of the fun you gals had. It reminded me of a happy time years ago. Four of us gals would travel together. We went into a public restroom talking all the way in and talking the whole time we were in there. Someone commented on how funny even going to the bathroom in our individual stalls we never stopped talking. That was us. Happy moments
Love the idea of the templates! And I laughed out loud at the football sunglasses…
Hi Lisa,, I am new to your site and was wonder if I could still get the Summer Block of the Week?

We will have it for sale as a whole kit or a block of the month soon!
The photo of Mary with the football helmet is priceless!! 👀😂🤣 I can’t wait to start that quilt AND learn how to do all of those amazing stitches. You’re the best and I’m happy to support your business!!
Lisa – what would we do without you? Always informing us of new things. This book and templates will be on my Christmas wish list and then I will be able to do more of the appliques. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Wow, what a wonderful looking book and templates. This is an amazing idea to get perfect placement every time.
Those templates look amazing!….and all those thread colors make me swoon.
I’m trying so hard to learn embroidery! Since I’m a lefty, these templates would be so helpful.
Just in case Mary didn’t mention it enough, her stitches are amazing! Kudos to Mary! Looks like you ladies had a bunch of fun!
Getting your crazy stitches to look good isn’t easy. These templates are a wonderful idea. I love the wool quilt and the crazy stitches you used on it. Oh and just what I need – more Valdani! LOL
The book for embroidery ideas looks amazing coupled with the templates and maybe some more Valdani would be heaven!
Wow, you sisters sure look like you are having fun!!
The book looks wonderful.
Looks like a great book for crazy stitching and the templates are a good idea.
These look amazing! Would love to try them out on my SBOW this year.
I’ve never seen these templates. I will be placing my order real soon. You always have such great ideas and you are very good at sharing these! Thank you so much! Your blog is well worth the reading!
You three look like you were having way too much fun, but life is too short so go for it. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.
Looks like you gals had a blast. Love the new templates and book for some great stitches.
Thanks for introducing us to a new product. Looks like it is something that will help those of us who are not quite as experienced as you in our stitching. I am amazed at the amount of work that you get done everyday. Keep up the good work!
Lisa your cousin is sitting next to a lovely white scalloped blue hydrangea candle mat or whatever it is awesome. Is there a kit for this and pattern? I would like to order if possible.
Thanks,

Of course I would love this book and definitely would love the templates. Always something to learn from you!
I’m confused. Are the templates included with the book or do you have to purchase them separate?
