New Designs Are Ready

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope this message finds everyone well this evening.

We just had a big thunderstorm.  It didn't last very long,

but we got some much needed rain.  This area is in

dire need, while other areas of the country are flooding.

It makes no sense.

I am in a mad race to get a lot of designing done before

Avery gets here.  Hollis' due date is July 27.  Can you believe 

that!!  I'm afraid my days of constantly designing   

are quickly coming to a halt.  I used to thrive on this kind

of pressure, but not any more.  My days are just too

full and my lists too long.  My annual Christmas ornaments

are being stitched though.  That makes me happy.  My 

Cinnamon Stick Christmas design is also being stitched,

so I am making headway.  Wish me luck, please.

The long awaited reveal of 

"Mary Lamin's The Lord's Prayer" 

Reproduction sampler.

I hope you love it as much as I do.  Mary Lamin definitely

had a unique way of using color, or very little access to

fibers.  We'll never know, but it certainly resulted in a

unique and special sampler.  The original was found in

New England and was probably stitched mid 19th C.

Next is 

"Blessed Liberty"

The Olde Brass "Flag" button and the frame are

also available from me.  

I hope you see something you like.  Both of these

designs will be shipped to our AUTO shoppes

and our distributors early next week.  If you cannot

find them, just let me know.

Time To Share

Good Evening Everyone!!

I just couldn't wait another minute to let you see a little

bit of Mary Lamin's Lord's Prayer Sampler.   It is not

quite finished.  Candi Smith, an absolutely fantastic

stitcher, did all of the sampler with the exception of

a few colors that I couldn't decide on when it was

time to send it her way.  I am so happy with it.  It

is so special in so many ways. 

So without further delay, here is a peak.  I hope

   this will be published within the month, certainly 

no later than early June.  For all of you who

have been waiting for so long, I think you will agree 

that it was worth the wait.

I wish I could give you a definite date, but so many

things keep getting in the way of working.  Today

I went back to Northern Virginia for another Doctor

appointment.  It really eats up the better part of a

day.  The good thing today was that Lehmer drove 

me so I was able to do a little stitching in the car. 

Having to go twice a week so far away is really a

hassle, but hopefully it will pay off in the end.  I

will admit that I am feeling a little better.   Yeah!!

XXXXXXXXXX

Have a great night with "Many Happy Stitches,"
