A "Little Glimpse"

Good Evening Everyone!

Are you having a good day so far?  I was

home alone today so I was able to focus

on a few deadlines.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to everything

on my list.  That would have been a 

miracle, but it would have been nice.

I did get to put the finishing touches on

two of my new designs.  

If all goes well, I hope to release both

of these designs week after next.

"SUNFLOWER FAIR"

and

 "PEACE TO EWE"

Both of these are

 little summer projects that

you can stitch up in no time at all.

Both of these designs are stitched

on 20 Count "Kudzu" by 

Weeks Dye Works, using three plies

over two threads.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The big reveal will be next week!!!

Until then

A "Little Glimpse"

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Hope you are having a great day.  It is hot and humid

here and we just had a thunderstorm which has

dropped the temperature a lot.  Thank goodness!

Thank goodness also, that for once, there were

no tornado or high wind warnings.

That seems to be the norm the last few years.

I remember when we use to look forward to

"the garden variety" of afternoon thunderstorm

to cool everything off.  Now I dread

thunderstorms and worry about what will come

with them.  Anyway, this one was OK.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I promised you a little glimpse of something new.

This is called

"PEACE TO EWE"

and you will surely be able to stitch this in time

for July 4th.

This was stitched on 20 Count "Putty" by

Weeks Dye Works using three plies over

two threads.  I used a variety of fibers,

but I always give you an 

ALTERNATE COLOR CODE.

I hope you will like the finish.  A hint--

it will be something useful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, back to work.  Hope you like it.

Time To Celebrate!

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well.  I've been really busy

as usual, trying to do twenty things at once.  My

ability to focus has vanished.  Is there a medicine

out there that will bring that back, or is this another

sign of old age that cannot be corrected?

I hope not!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Memorial Day upon us, it made me think of

all the patriotic designs that I have done through

the years. I will not bore you with all of them, 

because there have been many, but here are a few.

There is still time to get something stitched by

July 4th.

"Blessed Freedom"

 "Love They Country"

 "Americans Care About Each Other"

 "Freedom House Button House"

 "Celebrate The USA"

This includes the frame~

 "Eve Be Patriotic"

 "Patriotic Landscape"

 "Crow Patriotic"

 "Peace To One And All"

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you find something to decorate your home

with for this July 4th.

Motif Sampler

Guess what, my Motif Sampler is finished .  Now all I have to do is graph it and produce the publication.  This will not be a small task.  Wish me luck.  I so hope you like it.

Decorating With Needlework

Hi Everyone!

A little while ago I started sharing with you how

I like to decorate with my needlework.  Here

are a few more pictures.

Hope you enjoy!

 This is a wonderful toile tin bread tray in my

living room, filled with needlework smalls.

All of the needlework shown are my designs.

Here is my "Seek Joy~Stitch" stitched on

one of my pre-finished "Pin Pokes".

A few weeks ago Hollis and I were out

antiquing and I found this adorable

"vintage" wire basket.  Wish I had found it 

before Easter.  Oh well, I'll have fun with it next 

year.  Isn't it just the perfect way to display

another pincushion? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll be back soon with some updates on

new designs.  Hope you have a wonderful

week filled with 

"Many Happy Stitches".

Good Evening Everyone!

Just a quick blog post to let you know that 

"STILL STITCHING-STILL FRIENDS"

will be shipping early next week.

Here it is, I hope you like it.

Both models are stitched on 30 Count "Mink"

It has finally stopped raining, the sun is shining and

it is MAY 1ST~what more can you ask for.

I want to be as happy as little Avery.

Nothing makes him as happy as bubbles

everywhere.
