New Pattern "Stitch An Inch Fall Ornis"

Happy Friday to all

I finished the directions for mt new pattern.."Stitch An Inch Fall Ornis" . 

I actually started this pattern last year and after 

I became sick I did not have any time to do the directions

 or finish with the stitching..and I found it the other week in my stash

 but I had to finish stitching :Soul Food For the Needlesmith"...

I didn't want to hold on to it for another year 

and some of my other "Stitch an Inch" designs were not stitched either 

so I thought to myself..... "Self get moving and finish up these directions" 

So I did :)

They are ready for you in the Etsy shop.. 

I was able to get some hard copies out to some shops 

but with time running out I decided 

to list them in the Etsy shop as a PDF... 

Yes it is fun to get your patterns instantly sometimes

 as it is fun to wait for the mailman too!!!

So head on over to the Etsy shop if you want to stitch up 

some small and quick ornaments or bowl fillers.

I did stitch up a few of them but 

I need to do something with them 

so I will work on it this weekend and share it soon

Happy stitching

We are at the end of the Harbor Haven SAL

Good evening Needlesmiths

The last Scene #12 will be going out a little late...I just finished the Free chart that I promised to all of the SAL participants  It went to the printer today (Wednesday) and just ordered photos this evening (Wednesday) so by the time I put all together they will be in the mail for the shop participants by either this Saturday or Monday and I will PDF out the Free chart and Scene #12 to all my participants on the 12th instead of the 10th. These will go out to all that have paid for the whole year... I did have a few that dropped out during the year but you had to stay with us for the year to receive the free chart. SO HERE IT IS............

"Soul Food for the Needlesmith"

This design is a companion to the original

 “I Am A Needlesmith”

Since we all work so diligently with our hands, whether it be for pleasure, to give as gifts, decorate our home or to provide an income for our family we certainly do this with JOY and it does fill our SOUL

One of my favorite Bible verses is below … just a snippet. It was way too long to type

Proverbs 31…

Starting with verse 10

“Who can find a wife of noble character?

She is far more precious than jewels”…

 (v13) “She selects wool and flax and works with willing hands”…….

Stitch this reminder to hang on your wall

 Or to give as a gift

 …that as you work with your

Flax and Wool, Needle and Threads

Remember you are far more

 PRECIOUS than JEWELS.

Happy Stitching

YOU ARE AWESOME!!

Hugs

White Pumpkin Patch Retro

I love pumpkins and made this one because 

I felt like doing different stitch patterns

...like the wall paper in the back ground and

 the different patterns in the pumpkins.

Have a good night

Day #6 Autumn Designs

"Pumpkin Hill another favorite :)

I made these 2 trees a bit more sparse and added 

some beads for the leaves...

just a bit of sparkle. 

That good old pumpkin is sitting on top of that

 beautiful hill and with just the right breeze it might come tumbling down

...But I secured it with a fence...

Happy FALL to you all

Day #4 Autumn Designs

Day #4 here..... This is "Halloween Cove" another of the "Cove" series.

I have added  everything I could think of to this one. Check it out.....I spy!!!!

to much ...HAHA

Day #3 Autumn Designs

This is Autumn Cove, I designed this in 2008, along with the other seasons

 including Halloween and Christmas. 

I kept the same scene but changed the elements to reflect

 the time of year or season. 

I LOVE trees and thought this very large one would make

 a wonderful focal point for the wonderful seasons

 we have been blessed with.

And of course we cant forget the relaxing cool water

 and the gentle breeze moving the sailboat along,

 Plus the colonial style homes sitting on-top of those hills...

What a view they must have :)

Until tomorrow 

hugs
