New Patterns!

Happy to show new patterns for your stitching pleasure!

"PATRIOTIC POPPIES"

 

Probably my favorite piece from this release group,
I hope you all like it as well!
 It was an enjoyable stitch
 and
so fun to add the little wool embellishments.
 Design is worked on 40 count Doubloon linen over two threads,
 using hand dyed threads.  

"SWEET VIOLET"

This is sort of outside of the box for me...

I don't use a lot of purple when I design,
but I enjoyed working with a different color palette. 

The 2014 color of the year is Radiant Orchid,

 I thought it would be fun to design a piece around this years color.

Orchid flowers didn't quite do it for me,
but the little wild violets growing in shady spots in our yard came to mind...

 what mother hasn't received a small handful of these from their child? 

Pattern or a finish of this design would make an a sweet Mother's Day gift.
Add the Kelmscott Pansy Needle Minder (found here), linen and floss kit
along with this chart and you have lovely gift for Mom!    

This piece is worked on 40 count Espresso linen over two threads,
using hand dyed threads.

"TIME FOR HALLOWEEN"

 Seems like we are always looking for different and fun ways to finish our work.
 These sweet little Halloween fobs are just that!
  I sold these finished a few years ago
 and
decided to offer them as a chart for all those of you
who have inquired about them over the past years.
The pattern includes one pocket watch to get you started
 and
I have extra watch frames for those who want to stitch more.
The  little Halloween creatures are worked on 40 count Confederate Gray linen
over 2 threads.
Letters taken from pages of old books
 and
sheet music spell out spooky words.
These little fobs are fun to place on a chain and wear,
 or use as hanging ornaments.

"MANOR AT STRAWBERRY HILL"

 Pattern for a larger punch needle piece that makes for a wonderful little table-top mat.
 Various old school girl samplers that hang upon my walls
 inspired me to create a punch needle design
 that had a sampler feel to it
.  The piece is worked entirely in hand dyed threads.

After a cold and rainy week,
I think we are in for a warm up today!
I could use a little solar energy.

It's Friday....yay,
