There once was a Traveling Pattern. It went all around the world traveling from stitcher to stitcher and I was blessed to be a part of it. You can read my experience here. Sadly, the last stitcher to have her (in March of last year?) has apparently flaked and has not sent the pattern on. I'm going to be kind and not mention who she is but I am really rather angry about the situation. Not to mention incredibly saddened by the loss.
There is now another copy of that design circulating in our blogging world. I thought I had bookmarked or written down who currently had it but I can't find it. I am sure someone will spot it and let me know! EDIT: I knew someone would come through for me! Thanks to Cath!!! ~ The New Sisterhood pattern is Currently with: Nan of Nan's Needlework Notions and is being sent to the next stitcher!
I thought it might be fun to start my own Traveling Pattern. I bought a couple of designs and when they arrived I chose this one. Yes, it's my Count Your Blessings that I started last week! It has few colors that are easily changed to suit the current stitcher and is a simple and quick stitch that shouldn't be burdensome. Easy to arrive, stitch and send to the next person. Sound like fun?
Daffycat's finish:
Design ~ Count Your Blessings
Designer ~ Shakespeare's Peddler
Fabric ~ 28 count mystery tea-dyed
Fiber ~ DMC
If you would like to be part of this new Traveling Pattern there are a few rules:
1. Comment on this post, saying you would like to be part of the Stitcherhood.
2. By leaving this comment, you agree (if you are chosen) to stitch the design and send it along to the next person in a timely manner. If this means dropping everything in your rotation to concentrate on this project...so be it. If you can't bring yourself to do this ~ don't sign up.
3. You must have an active blog to participate. If you have a blog but never post to it ~ you won't be chosen to be the next stitcher.
4. This is a giveaway-type Traveling Pattern. That means you must follow it from blogger to blogger to enter each time it is ready to send along. Commenting on this post doesn't make you a guaranteed part of the Stitcherhood.

I would love to be second on the list for this traveling pattern. I am already picking out my colors.
Sharon, I'd love to have a chance to stitch this pattern. I tried for the last one but never chosen. This is a great idea to start another going around!
I would to sign up for the pattern - it's darling! :)
I can't believe you posted about the sisterhood of the traveling pattern! Just last night I thought would do an internet search to try find out where it was. I figured it moved on to a blog I didn't follow. I entered e erytime it was moving hoping to be selected. Please count me in!
I'd like the chance please , it looks fab .
BTW , a travelling pattern is just leaving Nan @ nansneedleworknotions.blogspot.com , not sure if it is the same one or the replacement but thought you'd like to know . X
Wow you finished it???
What a great ides to start a new one..
Good luch with it
Sharon, a wonderful finish! Congrats!
I don't know, if stitchers from outside the US can participate, but I am trying... I would like to have the opportunity to stitch this wonderful design... Count me in!
Cathi
Please consider me for the second spot on the list... I followed the previous pattern but sadly, never coaxed her to Arizona!
Ooh! Ooh!
Count me in!
I was signed up for another travelling pattern somewhere and I never did find out what happenned to the pattern!
Hate when that happens!
Sounds like fun and I'd love to join. I'd happily send it along after stitching it ;-)
Sharon I'd love to be a part of the stitcherhood, please consider my name. I kept trying for the last one but never got it!
Sharon,
This sounds like fun and I love the design you have chosen. Please add me in on the list of stitchers in the sticherhood.
Please count me in. I would love a chance to stitch this.
What a great idea, I always wanted to stitch the other one and would still love to stitch it someday. I would love a chance to stitch this cute little piece.Please count me in.
Oh I would the chance to host the pattern next :-)
I contacted the person who has the original travelling pattern last year and got no reply, and that was when she was still activly blogging *sigh*
Thank you for starting another one
I am sorry to hear that the first Traveling Pattern is AWOL. I enjoyed being a part of it. I would love to participate in this one. Thanks for starting a new one. Take care.
Sharon, I would love to be chosen to be next in your Stitcherhood. This would become my priority stitch. What a lovely chart you have picked. I also was in the "missing" Traveling Pattern list and finally bought my own pattern. It was "not" moving in a timely fashion!!
Awww! that's too bad about the traveling pattern.
I have passed on a few charts to stitch and then offer on their blog to pass on, I have never seen any of them passed on.
I would love to be part Count Your Blessings.
I have been meaning to see if I can join the Totally Useless
Take Care!
What a great idea! I'd love to join in please!
Such a cute design! What a great idea to continue the tradition in a new way. Would love to be considered too.... happy stitching.
If you are sending overseas I would love to do it too!!!! It is a neat little pattern...
This is such a cool idea! I'd love to join :-)
Count me in! Fun...fun...fun!!!
Ok so this is different than a round robin? I like this idea, very cool. Yes I could keep up with it, it's small enough to be able to do in a timely fashion. I hear you on the dropping the ball. I have been in a few round robins and while I did get one back, there were a couple I never saw or heard from again. VERY disappointing. I understand life getting in the way, but communication is key! I heads up would be nice. Ok rant over! I will be watching to see what happens next....
I would love to be involved in stitching this and passing it...I have actually stitched it and gave it as a gift, so this would give me a chance to stitch it again!!! Thanks for the chance, Faye
I did much the same thing with a chart, last year i think it was, it was stitched by the first 3 ladies and i know where it is now but the person in question is not aswering emails and no longer posts to her blog. There are still people waiting to stitch ths chart.
I hope you will have better luck this time. I will pass on being included if you don't mind, i only have limited time for stitching at the moment, i will look forward to seeing all the lovely finishes though :-)
My inside voice is screaming, PICK ME, PICK ME, But my outside voice would love to ask you to be a part of this. This would really be a lot of fun to watch everyone's progress and to see any changes they made in theirs.

Great finish, and what a great idea to keep this pattern moving on. If you are mailing out to overseas, I would love to be included. I've never taken part in a group stitching thing before :)Thank you!
Oh, I love this pattern!! I'm in for the stitcherhood...it is small enough that even I should be able to finish and mail it on in a timely fashion!
This sounds like fun, I would love a chance to be included on this adventure.
Well that's not very nice! Why do people have to spoil the fun? :o(
Lovely finish Sharon! Please don't put my name in the hat. I just wanted to comment though :o)
I'd love the opportunity to be chosen to be in the "Sisterhood". I love the idea of being able to customize it to my fave colors.
What a fun idea! I did see post about the first pattern and saw it finished in lots of blogs
I would love to join this Sisterhood =D
I was watching this last year, sad to here it went awol. I would love to be number two!
Sharon I would love this gorgeous pattern to visit me in Scotland on it;s travels around the world.
It will also be great fun to see all the different finishes and to meet some more new stitchy friends.
Please add me to the list of those who would love to participate in this traveling pattern. It's a cute design and I promise to stitch and move it forward promptly.

Hi,
please dont include in the rafle!!! But yoour finish came out beatiful and I hope all those ladys get to partcipate come out as beatiful as yours!!!!
Please add me to the list. I'd love to participate!
Thanks for doing this.
I am so glad to see you starting this. I followed the original pattern until it stopped and had hoped to eventually get a chance to stitch it. Please consider me to be the next in line to stitch yours - I promise to send it along in a timely manner. I love the design you have chosen. :o)
So sad that the Travelling Pattern has come to a halt and I am so glad I scanned it so I had a record of the comments written on it before I sent it on.
I would love a chance to become part of Stitcherhood so please enter me into the draw.
Very cute project. I'm not signing up, but will be very interested in watching it's progress.
Have fun!
Cute Stitch. I would like to be a part of the traveling pattern. I like the house and the gate and I'm thinking of something to change in the middle. So I could stitch the all around and then send the pattern on ;)
I like this idea more than a round robin. I'd feel a little bit uneasy sending a big package with my fabric, threads and patterns and not get it back.
First of all Sharon what a wonderful finish! I would be honoured if you would pick me for the next stitcher in the "Stitcherhood" :)
i would love to be a part of it. please add me for the draw. thank you
Please pic me! I'm already picking out colors!! <3
Oh, I can't believe the Sisterhood has disappeared. I am so very disappointed.
Now for the new pattern - I am jumping up and down, waving my hands and yelling "PICK ME PICK ME! Maybe that will help!!!!
Hello;
Please count me in. I would also love to be part of the "Stitcherhood".
(too cute!)

Sounds like fun, a chance to stitch a lovely design and a way to discover new bloggy friends. Count me in :)
I would love to be included in this round robin, but I will understand if you fel sending it to UK, is too much. In which case i will watch with intrest.
You are so good in blogland, keeping us all together with fun and projects.
Sharon, I would love to join the travelling pattern group! I would love to be included in the opportunity to stitch and would happily post it along to the next person! Great fun to see where it goes!
Because I liked the original pattern of the "sisterhood", I started my own little round in our German cross stitch forum. So far 15 ladies have stitched the design since I started it on its way last April. And boy, what the ladies came up with... I know where the original pattern is located right now and I am very interested if it will ever get moving again. Great design you picked to send around!!!
Sorry about the fist pattern. I tried to do that a few years ago, and mine met the same fate. I rebought everything and resent it out, and told them I wasn't replacing it a second time. I don't know where it is now. I don't get why people don't send patterns along when they know better.
I'd like to participate. I'm willing to drop what ever I'm doing to stitch it up and on the next stitcher. My blogging is getting better and I will continue to become more active. I hope you will consider me.
Happy stitching
Shay
I would love to be included in the "sisterhood" for Count Your Blessings. I participated in one last year (Live Simply by Primitive Needle) but I don't know where it is now. I had passed it on and that's the last I heard. There is another one that I do hope surfaces one day. It was an OOP pattern too.
Thanks for considering me. :)
Its always a shame when people dont follow the rules!
Hope you gets lots of ladies to join in with this one.
It was great fun to stitch in the "Sisterhood". I would love the opportunity to stitch this design as well. Thanks for starting a new pattern on its way around the world. It will be fun to see where it ends up. It really is a a great feeling to be a part of it.
This looks like fun! I'd love to join in too. Really too bad about the one that went missing :(
I am one of your newer followers, but I would love to be part of this traveling pattern. Your finish piece is beautiful.
Lovely finish! Don't add me - I'd be on your hit list by the time I got it done!
Count me in for the traveling pattern opportunity - I have never heard of such a thing but it sounds like fun !!
Hugs,
Wonderful finish Sharon!!
I would LOVE to participate in this! Sounds like fun!
Please count me in - I'd love to be part of this.
I've never done one of these before. It looks like a nice little pattern. My house will be yellow :) Please count me in if you're not maxed out!
Yes, please! I would like to be added to this list. Thanks!
Sounds like fun & I love Theresa's Shakespeares' stuff - please add me to the list.
I would love to join in, it sounds like fun! Just moving back to live in the UK again and looking forward to some peaceful stitching time!
I would love to be included.
I would like to stitch this Blessing chart.
My blog is new so please don't hold that against me.

How sad about the first traveling pattern. I'd love to be added to the list for this one.
I had been following the Travelling Pattern and was wondering what had happened to it. I'm disappointed to learn it has been "lost". I'd love to be included in the new sisterhood, but not sure if my blog is up to snuff. :)
~Kat
Sweet finish, Sharon! I'll pass on joining the Sisterhood but will enjoy watching its progress. Hopefully it will keep going this time and everyone will uphold their end of the deal!
I have wanted to participate in this travelling effort for a realllllllly long time. Please enter me for a chance to win this gorgeous design
I would love the opportunity to be a part of this sisterhood :) Please throw me in the hat :) hugs xx
It's lovely! I really like your color changes-makes it unique. I would not like to participate in the draw please. I have found I am a terrible stitcher under pressure-LOL
Would love to join in, please enter me into the draw.
Love the idea! I could stitch & pass it along. Cathy in Virginia
I would like to be in the fun of stitching this sweet design and passing it on.
I would love to be a part of the Stitcherhood. :)
OM, I was part of the original Sisterhood back in 2008, can't beleive someone flaked on it. I am so thrilled you started a new one. I must join in. You're the best. I am so behind on reading blogs, we have had the rotating flu bug in my house.
