Newest Designs ~

I haven't taken time to upload pictures of my newest designs. So before I head off to design more, here

are the photos.  This first  one is A Quaker Sampler.

 This next one is called Shabby Roses. The back is really cute too.

 This one is Amish Alphabet.This is th e first circular sampler I have designed. Love how it turned out.

And this one is Blue Bird Pinkeep.

They are all available at your local needlework shops.

Fun Mail Today ~

Look at what fun things I got in the mail today. It's my order of silk threads from Dinky Dyes. They are Hand-dyed Australian Silk threads.  I love stitching with silks and now I have them on hand to begin designing with. 

 

 And I also got the new release threads from Crescent Colours. Both the cottons -

 and the Belle Soie Silks. Oh My Gosh! They are beautiful, not just the colors but they feel so nice. Have I mentioned that I love stitching with silk thread. I am sure you will be seeing these real soon!



Flower Pot Sampler ~

Here it is. My newest cross stitch chart is ready to be released. It should be available to order next week. This was a fun one to stitch. It uses just one color of overdyed floss from Crescent Colours and is stitched on a fun vintage linen from Zweigart, available from Norden Crafts.

Coming Soon ~

I just took a little picture to show you what I've been working on. This new design should be ready to release in a couple of weeks. I love the stitching with all one color of overdyed floss. Watch for the full photo and release date coming soon.

Busy Week ~

This has been a busy From the Heart week. I shipped off a huge box of charts to Hoffman Distributing and am looking forward to three new charts being on their new book list today.  I'll put up a link later so you can check it out.
Then I have been busy framing and photographing my next two releases.  And because I am so pleased with how they turned out, here are pictures.  Be sure and ask for them at your favorite needlework store.

Another Peek ~

I am just back from the post office and mailing off new charts to my distributor and suppliers. So to celebrate I am sharing another new chart. This chart has two cross stitch designs and a punch needle project.It includes a sampler and a fun flagchart that I have finished as a pillow. It would look great in the back of a patriotic display or framed too. Watch for another peek tomorrow.

 

New Release ~

Although spring hasn't quite arrived in SE Idaho yet, I hear from some of my sources that parts of the country do indeed have spring, so on that bit of information that I am releasing my Spring Needlebook and Fob this week. It should be available within a week or two. It is another fun and simple project that I hope you will enjoy. Any of the three motifs on the outside of the needlebook would make a great scissor fob.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this little peek. Check back tomorrow, for something a little summery.
