What an innovative idea!  Thanks for sharing it Angela and Sherri! http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/11/12/another-pirate-finish/   This is the fifth installment of my annual Santas!  Yes, real men bake cookies and here's the proof!  Turns out Mrs. Claus only bags and wraps them!  Part of the Charming Collection, this one fits into a standard 8" x 10" frame and will come with a whisk for his hand...or maybe ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/10/23/2008-annual-santa-cookies/ Okay, this is the last for a while...at least I hope so...they come to me while I sleep and I need to turn off their pirate-y voices! This is another PostStitch and, like the others, fits into a 5" x 7" frame when stitched on 14/28 count.  Santa is a bit friendlier than ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/10/10/one-more-pirate/ I just can't stop with these pirate designs!  And there's MORE on my drawing board!  Like "Surrender the Booty" with a bosom-y wench--but I'm not sure about that one.  A pirate girl with a skull for a face somehow doesn't seem attractive.  Or how about a pirate ship sailing the ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/10/09/more-pirate-designs/    Here is a sneak preview of my annual Santa!   If you like him, you may want to look at the rest of the annual Santas.  I really enjoy designing Santas, and the annual Santa chart is a great way to share them with all of you.  Cookie Santa will be ready soon, so watch ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/10/03/coming-soon/ Here are a few pictures that I took on the cruise to Alaska I took recently.                           I plan to use all different colors of aquamarines, blues, etc., hoping to convey "iciness" in the cruise project for our Stitch Ahoy cruise.  Let me know what you think!    So, now you will ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/09/28/a-sneak-preview/ I have finished the cruise brochure for our upcoming Stitch Ahoy cruise to Alaska.    It includes some information about Alaskan totem poles and The Legend of the Stitcher.  Those already registered for the cruise will be getting the brochure in the mail once Eva gets her act together.  Brochures are ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/09/25/is-that-a-frog-on-that-totem-pole/ The ornaments I did for the preview issue and the regular ornament issue were supposed to have included this variation, but apparently JCS forgot to include it. You can now stitch either of the ornaments with "WE" rather than "I" using this chart. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/09/21/jcs-ornament-issue-variation/ Since coming home from Alaska, I have been busy working on the project book for our Stitch Ahoy cruise.  Since I can't show you those designs yet, I thought you would like to see the cover of the project book from our last Stitch Ahoy cruise.  It was great fun ... http://blog.suehillisdesigns.net/2008/09/08/project-book/
