Two More New Designs

These two were so fun to design!  I had two of my grandchildren in mind when I worked on these…Ella (age 3) is a girly girl, and Jackson (age 5) is all boy!
I also recalled favorite toys from when I was young and added them ALL into these two pieces because I like to stitch [...]

Aye! New Pirates on the Horizon!

For a while it seemed like these pirate designs took over my entire life…lucky for my sanity, I have a new series coming mid-March featuring angels…but more on that later!
I’m not saying that there won’t be more pirates…as you can see here, there are still more in my design file.  It’s amazing how circuitous a [...]

Another new design…and it’s CHOCOLATE!

 
Yummm….no explanation neccessary for this PostStitch…I think we all can relate to the message!
When I was working on the cruise project with those Whitman Tins, I was inspired by the way the
Chocolates LOOKED (aside from the taste, of course!).  Your favorite shops should have it about October 1st!
This PostStitch comes with the little gold key, [...]

Final version: “Women who behave…”

Here she is!  You can see she’s got the rep to support the phrase “Women who behave rarely make history”!  And the handcuffs charm pretty much say it all.  A nice complement to the other pirates, this design fits nicely into a standard 4″ x 6″ or 5″ x 7″ frame.  She will be making her [...]

Happy Holidays!

Here’s another new design that I will be showing at the St. Charles Show next week (next week??  already??  I have so much to do still!)
I have a Halloween themed design like this from last year and it’s a good seller so I thought I would expand the idea…hence Happy Holidays! 
It will be available to [...]

The Homecoming – Final Version

As you can see, the design continued to evolve after I posted this design…I ended up with the witch in front of the moon, and I found a piece of Lavender Lugana (14/28 count to
stitch it on (and I love the way it looks on the lavender!).  A dark and stormy night overdye was just [...]

New Design: HOMECOMING

 
This is one of many new designs I’ll be showing later this month at the the National Needlework Association market at St. Charles MO.     
It’s called “Homecoming” and it will be packaged with small star charms for the sky.  The model, I think, will be stitched on a dark sky background if I can find one [...]

New Design! Meet the Pirate Queen!!

Here she is…the power behind the pirates!  Ann Hobbs (of Midnight Marker fame) sent me a t-shirt that said Pirate Queen on it…and that got the juices flowing again for this design.  I like the way she turned out…she’s obviously in charge, but like every woman, likes a bit of pirate attention too!  This design [...]

Big Men and Small Boys

Gerry had posted a photo collage of her boys and DH  at 123 Stitch and used this verse…I was so taken by it I couldn’t wait to get it into a design.  We researched the phrase and could only find that it was attributed to that clever person “Anonymous”  so I went ahead with it.  [...]

Loves Me!

 
Here’s another new PostStitch design…just in time for Valentine’s Day if you need to show someone a little “attitude”! 
It’s stitched on 14/28 count Lugana, Pink Waterfall (LOVE that color) and has a sweet charm with a missing petal that says “loves me” on one side and “loves me not” on the other side!  
Of course it [...]
