"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".

Coming Soon!

Good Morning!
My new designs are almost ready.  Yeah!!!
So happy to have the stitching finished, now
just have to complete the finishing, graph every
thing, photograph everything, print everything.
Needless to say, I have a lot more to do, but I
am determined to ship these designs next week.
Hope you like them and more importantly,
want to add them to your stash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WINE IS, COFFEE IS, 
TEA IS . . ."
This is the first design in my new collection~
"A JOYFUL LIFE".  
This collection is all about
those little or big things that bring us joy,
happiness, etc.  Sometimes funny,
sometimes heartfelt, sometimes just a saying that 
I relate too and hope you do too.
 I stitched these on 30 Count "Creek Bed Brown" from
R and Reproductions.  Fibers used were
Gentle Art's "Brethren Blue" & "Maple Syrup",
Weeks Dye Works' Swamp Water", and
Classic Color Works' "Old Brick".
The frame is a new grained design called
"Thumb Print Wave".  I hand paint and grain
 each of these frames as they are ordered.
~~~Next~~~
Continuing with my 
"Halloween Year II" Collection 
I give you
"DOUBLE TROUBLE" 
This little "cutie" is stitched on 30 Count
"Straw" hand-dyed linen from 
Weeks Dye Works.  It is embellished with
my "Tiny Brass Star" charms and trimmed
with Dames Of The Needle's adorable
"Fra Orange" Pom Pom fringe.
Two more designs to go and the collection
will be complete.  Yeah!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope to be back later today with a fun
Give Away for my stitching friends,
"Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra
