My kind of day....lots of relaxed stitching......and on a new design!

I'm really diggin' this new color linen by Dames of the Needle.."North Beach Brown". It reminds me of Milk Chocolate and is just perfect for a Fall design.

New Designs Coming Friday!

Well, I have been busier than ever with getting ready for my Fall and Halloween releases.

I'm happy to share with you the two new designs I'll be releasing on Friday!

"Ever So Grateful" was beautifully stitched by my model stitcher, Cindy Ruchman Cabrey,

and I am indeed ever so grateful for that.  The model was stitched on 32ct Dirty Ewe linen and trimmed in Canned Pumpkin pompom both by Dames of the Needle. The flosses used in this design are Gentle Art, Wood Trail, Pumpkin Pie, Mustard Seed and WDW Pamlico.

"Halloween Menagerie" was stitched on 32ct Peeps Lost Sheep linen by Dames of the Needle. Instructions are included to create the drum and wrap.  The flosses used in this design are Gentle Art, Garden Gate, Onyx, Moss, Gingersnap, and WDW Palomino.

I also released "Common Thread Stitcher's Mat" last week and never got the chance to blog about it.  This was originally a club design, but is now available as a chart.

Believe it or not...I'm stitching another Halloween design that I just created.  I love it so much that I had to start on it right away and hope to have it out in a few weeks.

Hope you like what I've designed and are ready for some Autumn stitching!
As always, thank you so much for your support of this craft that I so dearly love.
Smiles, ~Nan

Fun mail day today!  

Elizabeth of Dames of the Needle/From the Cauldron

sent me her new trim colors...

I already have a new Fall designed back from my model stitcher 

that will get trimmed with the Canned Pumpkin.

Here's a sneak of the design I will be releasing in a few weeks.  
The Canned Pumpkin pom pom will be perfect on this.

I think the velvet ribbon would be beautiful added to the top of strawberry fobs.

Don't you? 

Just felt like sharing...:)
Happy weekend all!

New Release

Happy Friday Friends! 

I'm so please to tell you "Growing Love" Stitcher's Wallet

is now available to shops and in my Etsy Store.

This was originally a club kit piece but is now released as a chart.

The covers for my new Halloween design are being printed and I will have that new 

design out soon.  It's a really fun finish.

Happy stitching!
