The Primitive Needle, Bobbie G Designs, Enchanting Lair...

I've decided to change the format of my blog somewhat. Instead of adding narrative, I will include facts with each design where possible, such as fabric, threads used, and stitch count. I'm hoping that this will allow me to blog about even more new designs, since adding narrative was proving to be somewhat time-consuming. It wasn't a terribly entertaining commentary anyhow. :P Let's try it out, shall we?

Bent Creek is back with another Clip Art chart. This one is called Love Letters and includes perforated paper and buttons. The design can be framed or displayed clipped to a clipboard as pictured.


The Tree of Me is a really neat concept where you choose from more than 75 motifs to create your own personalized tree. You could have a lot of fun with this!

Eggs of Fancy is a colorful design from Country Garden Stitchery. I love how this one is finished inside of the frame!
