Here is the second of our two new designs this month, The Apple Orchard. Crescent Colours' Crab Cakes thread makes for the perfect red barn in this design. A couple of other hand dyed threads were used, as well as DMC. The complete information about this design and Here Kitty Kitty will be available on my website the first of next week.
So here's a new one perfect for all you kitty lovers out there! I myself am both a dog and cat person - we have one of each at our house. My cat Daisy is an orange tabby, and she is not represented in this design since her orange color would have blended into the pumpkins! There are however lots of other kitties in this piece, and I think it would make a great addition to your fall stitching. I'll be posting a picture in a couple days of our other new pattern The Apple Orchard, so be sure to check back here soon!
I have a new design to share with you all - Sunflowers in Summer. It was stitched by my Gramma Carol on what has become one of my favorite fabrics, Weeks' 30 count Cocoa Linen. The patterns will be shipping to distributors at the end of next week and you can see all the info about this design on my website at that time.
For all the beach lovers out there (including myself!) here is A Day at the Beach. This is one of those kinds of patterns that's great as a whole, but also perfect for stitching pieces of for your smaller projects. It will be available in shops towards the end of the month and all the details will be posted on my website in a couple weeks. 
My family and I spent the latter part of last week in Huntington Beach. We were there with Juliet and four of the girls she dances with as part of Discover the World Marketing's 30th Anniversary and Conference. The girls were part of the entertainment for the event, dancing at several different times. They had a blast! And when they weren't dancing we got to hang out by the pool and at the beach. Such a fun trip!
The Discover Divas (as they were called). Too cute!
California Girls :)
And here is Sean enjoying some pool time :)
As promised, here is the picture of my other new design, Bee Joyful. I just love the pinks and greens in this one. Such a happy design! Just like Button, Button, these patterns will be shipping at the end of next week, with detailed information on my website at that time as well. 
Hello everyone! I thought that a great way to start a new week would be to show you all a new design! This one is called Red, White and Bloom. It is stitched completely in overdyed thread, but DMC alternatives will be provided. I think it feels bright and fresh, and we will be shipping it to distributors in a couple weeks. That gives you plenty of time to start stitching it and have it ready for summer :) The complete information about it will be on my website in a couple weeks. 
As many of you already know, my daughter Juliet is a dancer. This past weekend we went to Phoenix as a part of her studio's competition dance team. This is a picture that was taken during one of her dances. She did so well, and I was such a proud mama!
The second of our new releases this month is Simply Vintage. It is stitched in just four shades of DMC, and feels like a must have for all the Shabby Chic/Flea Market style lovers out there (like me!). It will also be shipping to distributors in about a week. You can go to my website around that time to find the complete materials lists for both this design and April Showers.
With spring just around the corner, I thought this would be a perfect time to show you all my newest design, April Showers. It will be shipping to distributors in a little over a week. And be sure to check back here on Monday, as I will be previewing my other new release, Simply Vintage. Until then, take care and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
