New Patterns

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

We have two new patterns! Christmas Garden is a large dramatic sampler with a vintage feel. Barb loves to stitch a sampler for the holidays but she wanted one she could display throughout the year. It's also a record of her maternal genealogical line. You will find her initials along with those of her mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. We've included an alphabet so you can add your families' initials.

Two other projects are in the booklet too. A small travel bag is all buttoned  up and ready to hold your treasures as you make a winter visit. A small gift box is included too. It's just the right size to contain that special present for someone you love.

This 12 page booklet is in full color. We are trying a new layout format with our patterns. We are adding lots of new pictures to go along with each project.

The Christmas Garden sampler is stitched on 30ct. Sheep’s Straw by R and R Reproduction. You will need a 1/2 yd. piece of fabric. There will be a bit extra fabric along one edge....just the right amount to do the stocking pattern below also. 


This finished size of the stocking is 3" x 6 1/2". Barb made this one a bit larger than the other stockings in our stocking series we published a couple of years ago.

These patterns will be delivered to our warehouse on Friday and shipped out to the distributors. The shops will begin to have them by the end of next week.

I have some great show and tell pictures to show too. I will add them by the end of this week.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays. It's all about food and family.

Until later,

Alma

    Oh my, Christmas Garden is simply Breathtaking!!! I'm calling my LNS to have them order both charts for me. I'm also curious about what fibers were used. You girls never disappoint.

    A couple more designs for my collection!!! My stitching buds and I were trying to avoid any new patterns--way to much stash. But you always manage to design MUST haves:) Can't wait to get them.

    Oh dear. Just returning from the needlework store with one of your fabulous patterns, and now I see more must haves as well...happy news!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new format for charts, the latest Loose Feathers are awesome, so much "bang for your buck" as they say. Love the bigger layout and extra pictures. I would love to see all of your designs in that form :-)

    Love you ladies and your designs, thanks for all you do for us!

    Christmas Garden is absolutely gorgeous. I have already ordered the pattern and enough to make one for me and one for my mom. Love the maternal family history on it, as well. I have been wanting to do something with that anyway, and this will be perfect. I am always excited to see your new designs.
