		<description><![CDATA[I believe I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I collect patterns &#8212; leaflets, books, magazines, and even digitally now.  The form just doesn&#8217;t matter.  Antique and vintage patterns are a special favorite.  When it&#8217;s a well-worn publication, it gets an even deeper place in my heart. There&#8217;s an unexplained kinship with needlewomen of the past - wondering which patterns they worked [...]]]></description>
