Wintertime Release

A very happy Friday to you all.....

Thank you to all my friends and followers for your patience while getting this new pattern ready for release. Your emails and comments are always so heartwarming and so supportive.  You have no idea how much they mean to me. 
Here goes...... I still get butterflies when I release a pattern :), but

I'm so happy to show you how it finished up.

"WINTERTIME"

I decided to make this into a hanging pinkeep.  It's stitched on the most beautiful 32ct Apple Brown Bindy linen by R & R Reproductions.  The colors on this worked out beautifully for me. 
All Gentle Art.....Country Red, Forest Green, Sable and Mustard Seed.  
I did provide a complete DMC conversion in the floss key.  It's hard to see in the picture, but I added a small jingle bell on the sides and used plaid homespun for the hanger.
I'm still very much in the Halloween/Fall mood, but I will find delight in hanging this in the house come December.
I've added this new design to my Etsy Shop.  The charts will be on their way to my distributors later today and should be in shops soon after that.
  Another new design is in the works!
Enjoy your day! Happy Stitching and thank you for stopping by.

A New Start

Hi all!  I do love to show you what I'm

working on.....

I designed a mini sampler a week or

so ago and finally have it 

tweaked to where I want it.

I happily started on it this morning.

Like I said it will be small.....

around 6" x 7".

I have all my floss picked, but no

guarantees.  One or more may 

change, thats usually what happens, 

but we'll see.

This linen is so luscious.

It's 32ct Apple Brown Biddy

by R&R.

I know I probably sound like

a broken record, but I just

Loooooove they're linen.

I did stain it with a strong coffee

mix cause I really want this one to 

look old.

I want to thank you all

so much for all the 

Civil War Needlebook kit orders.

I am so thrilled with the response and 

really appreciate all of you and the 

support you have shown.

I can't wait to see some of your

finishes. 

  The first round has been mailed and

more will go out tomorrow.

  Remember, Dyeing to Stich

has them too and 

will be getting in some more this week.

If you'd like to get one through

them, just give them a call.

I'll keep you posted on my 

progress of this new sampler.

Thanks for stopping by and

happy stitching!
