Happy Halloween!

 

Oh my, Halloween is Saturday which means Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. I am so not ready for the holidays. Although, I suspect they will be different this year thanks to covid. My normally full house on Thanksgiving will most likely be only 4 people. I guess on a positive note, that means less to cook and more time to stitch.

Need some inspiration? Well, take a look at the lovely designs that will be arriving soon.

 

From The Cross Eyed Cricket

"Addies's Angel" is very sweet but I just love "Wickety".  Obviously, I will not get her stitched for this Halloween but maybe for next year. 

Addies's Angel

Wickety

From Erica Michaels

Festive holiday designs. "Hearthside Christmas" is a gorgeous Christmas sampler that was inspired by a vintage Christmas card. "Reindeer Games" looks like a fun board game and includes designs for a berry and a pincushion drum.

I wish I had time to stitch the turkey for this year. He is stunning.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

New Designs Coming Soon!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was great. I watched a lot of football and stitched. Actually, let me rephrase that, I listened to football while I stitched. Needless to say, it was a lovely stitching weekend for me. Of course, I did do some housework but more time was spent stitching than cleaning.

From With Thy Needle & Thread

Four great new designs from Brenda. I can't pick a favorite in this bunch. I really like them all. 

Brr...It's Cold Outside

 

   Mr. Marshmallow                       When Santa's Away

                                                              the Mice Will Play

 

  

Winter Rose Manor

From JBW Designs

What a versatile design. Not only can you stitch it in any color but it could be finished in so many different ways. 

Christmas in the Round

From Teresa Kogut

Wow, Teresa sure has been busy. Look at all these wonderful new designs. I really love "All the Things" but the teddy bear design brings back great memories of a stuffed bear I had as a young girl.

From Waxing Moon Designs

I think these would make the cutest Christmas ornaments. I will get right on it....next year (maybe). 

Santa Trio

From Stoney Creek

A fun Halloween design. Since, I'm partial to owls, I may need to add this to my stash. Even though I may never get it stitched, I can always enjoy looking at the cover. 

Happy Hootin Halloween

From The Scarlett House

Two lovely reproduction samplers. 

Hannah Hird 1854

Happy October!

 

It's October! The end of the year is near and as far as I'm concerned, can't end soon enough. Hopefully, things will get better next year. Sorry, there was no blog last week, I was busy taking frame orders. The framing special has started and will continue until October 20th. Remember, you must MAKE AN APPOINTMENT for the framing special. Call to schedule your appointment. 

Now, I know that you have a project (or projects) started but let me tempt you with some wonderful new designs that will be arriving soon. Remember, the holidays are quickly approaching and NO I'm still not counting down the days (I really don't want to know).

These cute birds are bringing seasonal blessings. This is so going in my stash. I can't decide which one to stitch first (probably Fall since I wont get either done for this year).

Season's Blessings

From Blackbird Designs

This pattern was first released as "Merry Christmas Drum". Numbers have been included in the chart so that you can make it current. I love the colors!
