New Designs Have Shipped

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that my three new

designs shipped at the end of last week.

If they are not already in your favorite shoppe, they

should be very soon.

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

Here they are~

CINNAMON STICK SANTA XXV

"Belsnickle Chimney Santa"

You will get three designs with this

publication~

-a pillow

-a "Hanging Pocket" and

-an ornament.

I used 20 Count "Putty" linen from

Weeks Dye Works for the pillow and

the Hanging Pocket and 30 Count

"18th Century Brown" from 

R and R Reproductions.

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

"CHRISTMAS TREES 'A PLENTY"

This is finished as a hanging pocket and stitched

on 32 Count "Classic Homespun".  I am

very proud to say that R and R Reproductions

named this fabric for me.  It is a wonderful

fabric and will be produced in

multiple counts for your stitching pleasure.

I embellished this with coffee dyed "Warm and Natural",

and then used four of my Olde Brass "Tree" buttons

and "vintage" buttons from my collection.

Don't you think this could stay out all winter?

Just fill with some evergreens and you are all set.

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

"OH JOYOUS ACORN"

is finished as another one of my Hanging

Pouches.  It is stitched on 20 Count

"Putty" linen from Weeks Dye Works.

It is embellished with my Autumn buttons.

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

Well, that is it for tonight.  Back to the basement to

continue working on more Christmas designs.  Love to

design for this time of the year.

"Many Happy Stitches",

Good News!

GOOD NEWS!

For those of you who have been waiting for my

new designs, they are winging their way

to my Autos and my Distributors.

Yeah!

Here they are in all their glory~

CINNAMON STICK SANTA XXV

"Belsnickle Chimney Santa"

NO. 241

$12.00

Can you believe I have done 25 of this series!!!

I've given you a look at the full cover

and some closeups.

FABRICS USED

Weeks' 20 Count "Putty" for the pillow and the

Hanging Pouch.

R and R's "18th Century Brown" for the ornament

All were stitched with a variety of fibers, including

Wisper for the beard.

The tinsel trim will be available in my ETSY Shoppe.

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

 IMPORTANT!

As of yesterday I found out the "Grunge" pom pom

fringe that I used on the Hanging Pocket is no

longer available in that color, or at least for the

present time.  Elizabeth, of Dames Of The Needle,

is working really hard to achieve the same color,

but because of a change in the fiber content,

it will not dye the same way.  So until further

notice, you will have to substitute a favorite

trim of your own.  I might suggest the "Grunge"

rick rack that she carries- 1/4" or 1/2".

MISTAKE IN CREDITS

I said the rick rack on the pillow is

1/2", when in fact it is 1".  I am sorry for that

and will change it in the next printing.

Enough bad news ~ on to the good stuff!

COUNTRY SPIRITS COLLECTION

"Oh Joyful Acorn"

Hanging Pouch

CS-94

$6.50

It is stitched on Weeks' 20 Count "Putty"

using a variety of fibers.

The Autumn buttons are available from me.

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

PURELY SAMPLERS COLLECTION

"Christmas Trees 'A Plenty Button Sampler"

PS-56

$9.00

It is stitched on R & R's 32 Count

"Classic Homespun".  This is a fabric that was

dyed for me and I am really happy with it.

It is going to come in a bunch of

stitch counts, including 18, which is going

to be so much fun. 

You will need four Olde Brass "Tree" buttons, 

a little "Warm and Natural" batting (which I

coffee dyed) and some buttons of yours.

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

The designs are available in my ETSY Shoppe now.

I will be putting the tinsel trim and the Autumn

buttons in soon. The Tree buttons are already

there in the SUPPLY SECTION.

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

I sure hope you see something you like and

will enjoy

"Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra
