A Stitcher's Finish

Good evening all ! 

I have a wonderful finish to show you that

was sent to my by my new friend, Paula of 

Kelmscott Designs

She has stitched up Bloom Sampler

and wanted it to be a square pillow.

How adorable.  And don't you love her 

star scissors.  I know there are many of you

who are scissor crazy like me.  You can never

have too many. Right?

Well Paula, this turned out lovely and I'm

so glad you enjoyed stitching it. 

Thank you for sharing your finish.

Until next time, Happy Stitching.

New Pattern!

Gosh, I'm so happy to finally share this new

release with you.  It's been a long time coming, 

but here it is at last, "Cottage Charm Sampler".

As you may know, I just love

stitching the alphabet, so as you can 

see it includes one of them :)

I am in love with these flowers too.  They

remind me of lolipops, don't you think?

 The model has been stitched on 32 ct Zweigart 
Vintage Heritage Linen using a combination
of WDW, GA, DMC and the red is a
Victorian Motto Sampler Thread
called Nan's Red.  Made especially for
me by Nancy.  It's a very cool red if I 
do say so myself :)

In other news....I'm proud to say I just
signed with Hoffman Dist. Co.
so my patterns should now be available
at your local needlework shop.
I'm working on 2 other samplers that 
I'm very excited about and hope to 
have them available to you soon.

Thank you for taking time to visit with me
and as always, Happy Stitching!

A Stitcher's Finish

Well, better late than never : ) Right?

Anne sent me this picture a few weeks ago 

and I've been meaning to get this 

wonderful finish posted to my blog.

She has stitched my freebie, Dutch Tulip 

and made it into a lovey pin pillow for her

friend, Melissa.  Lucky Melissa!

It is truly wonderful.  Thank you Anne for stitching

this design.  I love the way it turned out and I'm

sure your friend did too.

I'm sorry I've been so absent from posting lately, 

but I have been working hard in the garden

and doing all the other things that need

to get done around our house.

 AND STITCHING TOO!

There is always time for that : )

I have my new release all framed and 

ready to go.  I think it turned out lovely

and I hope to show you it in a few

days, so stay tuned.

Till then, have a wonderful night.
