Cinnamon Hearts Kit

I'm very excited to show you what I've designed for this limited kit.  It's been months in the making and it's always fun for me to see an idea come to life and turn out the way I pictured it:)  

I hope you like it too.

~*~ CINNAMON HEARTS ~*~

I like to hang some of my handmade pieces on cupboard knobs or chairs.  I finished this into a hanging heart and tried to incorporate as many heart motifs in it, as would fit.  I thought the addition of a stained twine tassel would prim it up a bit more:)  I'm very fond of the saying, "keep a gentle heart", and wanted to include that in the design as well..

I've stitched this on one of my favorite color linens......32ct Olde Towne Blend from R & R Reproductions using The Gentle Art floss and backed it with a beautiful cinnamon fabric by Renee Nanneman.  You probably know....I love to include a little surprise here and there.  On the back I've added a wool heart with a mother of pearl heart button......Yes, the theme is "Hearts".....:)  It's hung from copper colored seam binding.

Basically this kit comes with everything you need except the stuffing of your choice.  I didn't want anyone to have to run out for interfacing or freezer paper.  Also, I've stained the twine so it's ready to use and you won't have to get messy:)

The kit includes:

32ct R & R Olde Towne Blend linen

  2 skeins of The Gentle Art floss

Ram in the Thicket over dyed wool

Cinnamon backing fabric

Mother of pearl heart button

Copper seam binding

Stained cotton twine

Fusible interfacing 

Freezer paper

Color cross-stitch graph

Heart templates

and complete finishing instructions

 The cost is $34.00 plus shipping

The kits are limited in quantity and will be offered directly through me.  You may email me at threadworkprimitives@verizon.net

Thanks for your patience on this release and I look forward to your emails and comments.

Many happy stitches to you all!

Had this kit idea

Once again.....I had an idea brewing around in my head and started to stitch it out.

I've been actually working on this for about 9 weeks.

This is how it began.....

Once I got more of the design done I realized that this might just make a nice kit.  I consulted a few trusted friends for their opinion and got thumbs up all around :)  Love you gals!

So, I got to work charting and writing instructions and gathered up all the supplies needed.  I set to work cutting wool and fabric, staining twine, bagging buttons and seam binding.  Lots of busy work, but in my opinion busy fun!

It's just about ready.....and I can't wait to show you!

I'll be back in a few days to show you the finished piece and give you all the details on how to purchase it and what is included..... Pretty much everything you need.  That always makes things easier...doesn't it?

I hope you'll check back.....I'm excited!

Smiles, ~Nan 

*Sweet Little Limited Edition Kit*

I designed and stitched this sweet Autumn pinkeep and thought maybe some of you would like to make one too.  So, I'm putting together a few kits. 

 I just love the saying "Bountiful Blessings".  

I actually feel that way all year round and not just at Thanksgiving. 

It's stitched on 32ct linen with 1 strand of floss over 2 linen threads and is a pretty fast and fun stitch.  For a nice surprise, on the back, I've added a wool Fall leaf with a brass acorn charm tied to it.

The kit includes:

32ct R & R Irish Creme linen

4 skeins of DMC floss

R & R Cocoa ric rac

Tan plaid shirting fabric

Army blanket wool

Brass acorn charm

Brown hemp string

Color cross-stitch graph

Leaf template

& complete finishing instructions

 $28.00 plus shipping

The kits are limited quantity and will be offered only through me and my friends at Dyeing to Stitch shop.  You may email me at threadworkprimitives@verizon.net

I look forward to your emails and comments.  

Happy Stitching!
