I like hand embroidery also. I agree it's hard to find a good selection in transfer patterns. I've resorted to drawing my own designs, and then copying them with my printer. I can then use that copy as a transfer. It's rather light, so you must have good eyesight to use this method. I have also used a light box to trace a design directly onto fabric with a #2 lead pencil. You might also try using the line drawings in children's coloring books. Good luck.
I think you did very well with all three situations. Well...maybe with a couple of exceptions. Maybe you should have sent hubby off to the painting party alone, and spent that evening shopping for a new purse.
