Sneak Peek and a give away!

Such Friendship by Annie Beez Folk Art

This new chart will also be winging its way to my distributor today, and up in my Etsy shop by the end of the week.

The model is stitched on 32ct. flax linen using a combination of sampler threads from Crescent Colours, Gentle Art and Weekes Dye Works. I used a piece of antique lace along the side when I finished it!Isn't it ooo-la-la pretty?? 

I just love antique laces and trims and will scour antique shops endlessly looking for them!

The little flower centers are stitched with a leviathan variation stitch and there is a wee Rhodes heart in the bottom right hand corner.

Leave me a comment on this post and I will enter your name for a free chart of this design on Friday!!

Quilty Neighborhood

Finally finished this one! 

Yay! Happy dance!

 I stitched and ripped this last chart many times before I was satisfied! 

I have finished the charting and this will be off to the distributor on Monday!

 Here is the entire piece before framing:

The final chart, Covered Bridge will be in my Etsy shop next week as an e-pattern. It will be in shops within the next couple of weeks!

I have long been a fan of this site, and I am just as addicted to reading and research as I am to stitching. But somehow I had missed the needlework shop portion of this site and just looked at it for the first time yesterday. 

Be still my heart!

The selection of samplers is wonderful and is filling that empty space that my beloved Whyndham Needleworks used to occupy. You know, a shop where the selections are truly sampler oriented.  

And there are  plenty of the best of charts featuring specialty stitches and other techniques from all over the world. 

Just what I love!

So huzzah to Paige at Mad Samplar, I will be lurking there often!
