Hi All! We're continuing our tradition here at Scroll Saw Village by publishing our annual e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. This popular eBook was featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. Our ornament designs are exclusive to this eBook and designed by SSV members. Anyone can download the eBook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. Our hope is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes and provide some cool patterns at the same time. *** But we need your help! *** We need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by Wednesday, November 23th (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so let's not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. Don't submit copyrighted or licensed patterns. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. Please get them to me ASAP so I have time to work on them. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me. Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & white only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook. I prefer Inkscape files (SVG) if you can. This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way I don't have to manually convert them.

2020 was a strange and disappointing year, for sure. But we're not going to lay down and take it. We're gunna salvage it with an awesome Ornament For Charity 2020 Edition eBook! Who's with me!?

Howdy All. I'm happy to introduce a new section on SSV for Pattern Shops! This is a directory of places to find pattern vendors on the web; both paid & free. We all have our favorite pattern shops bookmarked, now we can share those with other scrollers. Each shop has their own page with useful information, such as Website, Designer's Name, Free or Paid Patterns, Pattern Types, and Additional Information. It also has an area for comments/reviews. So if you have bought a pattern with a particular shop, share your experiences with the rest of us. Right now, the Pattern Shops list is located under the Resources tab (It will probably move in the future when I re-organize the Nav Bar). Check out our growing list. If you don't see your favorite pattern shop listed, add it by clicking the green button that says "Add A New Pattern Shop." (Be sure to double-check to make sure it's not there already. We don't want double entries.) If there's misinformation on that pattern shop's listing, you can easily change it by clicking the "Update Shop Information" button on that shop's page. If you have your own pattern shop, be sure to add yourself (or update your information if you're already listed). It's also worth noting that there is a nice area called Additional Info where you can add extra information that potential customers may find useful. (Hint: Add a promo code for an SSV discount so you can track much traffic SSV has sent your way.) You can also include pictures, logos, etc. Anyway, I hope y'all find this useful. Enjoy!
