To market they will go!

In just 11 days, Peggy and Carol will be leaving for TN to attend the Nashville Needlework Market. This is a cash and carry show which means they will come home with lots of wonderful new goodies for the shop. Peggy is busily making her shopping list so if there is something that you want her to bring back please let the shop know.

Take a look at some "sneak peeks" that will be releasing in Nashville.

Time just keeps flying by!

I can't believe that January is almost over. It seems like Christmas was just yesterday. Before you know it, Easter will be here. Where does the time go? My weekend went fast but I was able to get some stitching done. I now have 3 turtles stitched on my "turtle" piece. Yeah!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this piece in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, new designs are on the way and there are a few that I want to do. Take a look at what is coming and see if there is something that you would like to do.


From Just Nan
It looks like winter has hit Just Nan. The "Little Princess Snow" is simply too cute. However,
my favorite has to be "Just Dropping In" (definitely on my to do list).

From Rosewood Manor

 

Spring Has Come - Mystery Sampler

 

This new mystery sampler from Rosewood Manor will be released in 3 parts (March, April & May). The design is stitched on an exclusive patterned 32ct. linen from Fabric Flair called Yorkshire Flowers. The fabric features small yellow flowers printed on a white background. Each part uses 15 skeins of Weeks Dye Works floss and each one also includes a bonus design.

I can't wait to see what the finished design will look like.

 

 

 













 

 

Happy stitching!!!

Not enough time to stitch!

After enjoying a long weekend out of town, you would think many hours of stitching would have been accomplished. Well, let me tell you, not a stitch was stitched until I got home on Sunday night. Actually, that is quite depressing.  On the plus side, when I finally sat down to stitch, I started a new project. I'm working on "All the Way Down" from Ink Circles. (See picture below)

 

I have the first turtle done and many more to go. Since I stitched a baseball sampler for my son, this piece is for my daughter. I can't wait to finish it for her. Anyone else ready to start something new? Well, there are quite a few new designs on the way...check them out.

 

COMING SOON!

 

 

From Country Cottage Needleworks

The new Frosty Forest design "Snowman's Cottage" is  too cute, although it does make me cold (burrrrrr). The "Be My Valentine" design is a perfect Valentine gift.

Perfect piece for the avid bass fisherman. My husband will love this one but since I have already stitched him a bass picture this will have to go to the end of my stitching list (he may never see this done:)
