"DESIGNS THAT REFLECT OUR
AMERICAN HERITAGE"

Welcome to my blog. I'm probably very much like all of you who love the needlearts. My life revolves around family, friends, home and all things that help to make for a more contented life. When time allows; cooking, gardening, decorating, and collecting are my joys. I look forward to sharing all of these things with you. I also hope to keep you up to date on what is going on at Homespun Elegance, in regard to the needlework designs and the "Plain & Fancy Wares" that we offer.

Wishing you "Many Happy Stitches".

New Designs~Finally!

New Designs~Finally!
Well, I guess you thought I would never do another post
since it has been almost a month.  I suppose I really am
trying to slow down a little~
Thank you for being so patient with me!
I hope the wait was worth it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are my four new
publications.  "Hare In Flight" was shipped to my
distributors yesterday, so it will be available for
your shoppe to order in a few days.
"HARE IN FLIGHT"
is my Spring/Easter design.  There is plenty of
time to stitch this guy.  I can't wait to show it
to Avery.  I think he is going to want the pillow.
This design was first sold in 2001 as a
Limited Edition design at the Nashville Sow.
I decided that it was time to update
and reprint.
The original pillow was stitched on a fabric
that is no longer available, but fortunately
there is a great substitute~
10 Count "Sand" Tula.  The framed model
is stitched on
28 Count "Dirty Linen" Cashel Linen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the next three I'm showing you "little glimpses" 
of the designs.
I wanted you to see them so you might 
consider having your shoppe owner order at
the Nashville show.  They will all be shown there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"FRUIT POT"
I love this design~back to my traditional love
with a little "prim" thrown in.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"SASSY FELINE"
Isn't he cute!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bunnies and Berries"
This has been so much fun to do.  You will
receive the large design with the verse, a
pin cushion and a scissor fob.  I hope you love it
as much as I do.
The verse is~
"Where the berries are red and ripe,
Hang upon the brambles,
Where the grass grows thick and tall
Master bunny gambols..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you see something you like.  I certainly
enjoyed designing these for you.
"Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra
