Christmas is Coming!

Wow, Christmas is only 3 months away. It will be here before we know it. Where did the summer go? Now fall is here (if only the temps would realize this), and before long, I'll have to rake leaves (ughhh). Oh well, it is good exercise and I definitely need to do more of that.

Need a new fall project?  Take a look at some of the new designs that will be arriving in the shop soon.

A very lovely fall sampler and the 6th design in the Main Street series.

I like both of these designs. I think the "Harvest Time" design would make a nice small pillow. I should add it to my very long project list.

On the way....

It's my favorite time of the year....football season! Yes, I am a football fanatic. I enjoy watching both college and professional games.  The best part about watching the games is the amount of stitching I can get done while doing it. I almost finished a project yesterday. I only have a little bit of back stitching left to do. I hope to finish it today. YAY! 

New designs are on the way...take a look!

Have a great week!

Remembering....

Today is September 11, 2017. It has been 16 years since the terrorist attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon. A day no one will ever forget (I know I never will). As we remember those who died that day, we must also remember and support those who are now dealing with the aftermath from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. My heart goes out to anyone who was affected by either of these storms.

Since I did not blog last week (sorry), there is quite a bit to share. I will post some of the new designs on the blog today but please check the "what's new" section on our website to see even more "coming soon" designs. I will be adding new items throughout the week so check it often.

From Silver Creek Samplers

Two new designs to get us ready for the winter/Christmas season. Love the dress of leaves.
