Scavenger Hunt
The item for Today is below.
Item: You are hunting for "a Sign for August".
Clue: You will find it in the Tissue Cover patterns!
I am now using images that are in either of the 2 Paper Bead Generators, for the daily Scavenger Hunt Items.
The daily scavenger hunt item can only be found for one day.
The instant prize is access to a Gold Members Only crochet pattern that is free for today only. The pdf file is not part of the prize.
The Points Program Has Started!
A special code has been placed under this image, on the page that will have the scavenger hunt item on it. Sign up for a Free Points Account and you can claim 1000 points for finding today's item! you can also get free access to the page that it is on!
Featured Pattern
This pattern is always Free.
This sachet is made by crocheting 2 circles exactly the same then working a round of chain stitches and shells around the perimeter to close. It is stuffed with perfume scented polyester fiberfill. This would make a great bazaar item!
Stratton Sachet
Every day, from now on, I will post a pattern that is always free. Since all of the Gold members patterns will be available for points, eventually, and I am giving away one free pattern per day with the Scavenger Hunt, I figured this would be fair to the Gold Members and everyone else.

Points Program News
Points accounts are Back!
I am still ironing out the little wrinkles in the system but it is up and running! Sign up now and join in the fun! Earn points for use in downloading Gold Members only files! I am slowly adding download buttons you can use to redeem points for patterns and templates. The buttons will be placed on a download page like it was on the old version of the site last year. It will take awhile to add all of them.
I have come up with something that Gold members can redeem their points for. The way I expect to be able to set it up is I will make a page just for Gold members that will have listings on it that you can redeem points for. The items will be things I already sell at Amazon and Etsy but they will be available through the points system. Only for Gold members. There may be shipping charges, there may be not. I will be getting that part of the Points Program set up within the next couple of months. So meanwhile, keep adding points to your points account so you can take advantage of the discounts and perhaps freebies when redeeming points!

Tuesday's Tips
Storing Fabric With Comic Book Boards For those of you who store your fabric on Comic book boards and use only 1 board, which can be flimsy, try gluing two boards together or use double stick tape to keep two of them together to make your "mini bolt" more sturdy! You can also use spray adhesive on one board and glue them together if you like. I use the double stick tape on mine.
Rolling Paper Beads Keep your strips of paper, wide end up, in a tall empty heavy glass, while rolling your strips. They fan out when in the glass which makes grabbing the strips easier and keeps your work surface a bit more clean and tidy while rolling!
