Question
QUESTION: I am looking for patterns by Janlynn from 1986.  This the America the Beautiful collection of all 50 states, designed by Betty Haddad Shelton.  I need the states of Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I have Ohio, California, others.  The finished size is 10" x 10".  They contain the state name, flag, flower, bird, etc. in squares.  Some are available on e-bay, but not the ones I need.  Hope you can help me.  Thank you.

ANSWER: Hello, Vickie

You may be able to contact Janlynn directly and see if they have it archived.  They're website is:

http://www.janlynn.com/

Or, you can try a search on ebay and see if anyone is selling it.

I hope that helps.  Good luck! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

QUESTION: I have tried Janlynn, and they said since it is out of circulation, they don't have the patterns anymore.  Ebay has some states, but I want Michigan, Kentucky, and Indiana -- I haven't found those on ebay.

Answer
Hello again, Vickie

The only other thing that I can suggest is go to this website:

www.123stitch.com

Go onto the message board, and see if anyone has this and are willing to sell them to you.  I'm sorry to hear that Janlynn doesn't carry them anymore.  I hope that someone on that message board does.  You may be required to sign up to join that message board.  I am also a member, and the people there are great.  I hope that you'll be able to find what you're looking for.

Sincerely,

Angela :)
