But God new design

 

I have a new design called “But God”
This design has a home with many rooms, 
and a giant sun flower giving it shade and protection.
 It’s surrounded by small blooming daisies…
and of course my scene could not be complete without 2 little sheep grazing…I
 have the words “But God” so you can remember that 
God can do miraculous things in our lives…we can not “But God can.

Inside the chart pack I have included a bookmark 
that has Bible verses on it with the words “But God”
on one side and a snippet of the design on the other.


Have a great week...
This design should be available by the end of next week!!

hugs

Needleworkers Spot Motif Sampler





Happy Monday!!
I just finished my next design called 
"Neddleworkers Spot Motif Sampler"

This little Spot Sampler has lots of motifs for the needleworker
...button, scissors, safety pin, mannequin, measuring tape,
 needle threader, tomato pincushion with pins and needle,
 spool of thread and a strawberry pincushion
.....but the sampler would not be complete without 
our needleworkers sitting in their comfy chairs 
by their vase of fresh cut flowers 
and the hummmm of their busy needles in hand.... :)

AND I didnt forget a sewing machine 
but the design I made was to large for the Sampler
 so it stands alone as a seperate design.....

This pattern should be ready for release 
 Monday February the 19th.
ONE MORE THING: 
for the first 150 charts I will include a 
FREE Stork Scissor Charm with the pin hanger.....

And onto my next stitching release
 ....."But God" is finished 
...just need to work on the framing, photos, and directions.....

Hope you have a Blessed Week and thank you for following 
Hugs

A little more stitching

 

I've been working on this for a few months....
one of those things you start and put away and move on to something else 
and then remember "Oh Yes, I forgot about YOU"!!
 So I'm almost finished with the small sampler 
and I need to finish the Sewing Machine...maybe a mattress pincushion...
One more thing with the first 150 of these designs going out
 I will include a little scissor charm with the hanger...
I think I'll put mine on the pincushion....
Can't wait to share more and "But God" is finished too
 I just need to iron, frame and make directions....
have a good Monday :)
hugs

How I Design and Create a Pattern

 I thought I would share with you "How I Design and Create the Patterns"

Most of the time I scribble down the idea's 

and then draw them out in quick sketches. 

I found these pictures that I had saved in one of my scrap books

...started spring cleaning, good thing I never threw these out :)

These pictures are from the design "Time for Seasons", 

this was originally a Stitch-A-Long 

and has been released in the Etsy shop as a PDF.


It's so funny that I came across these 

and then I realized that


                                              Pam from "Just Keep Stitchin" on Youtube 

is starting to stitch this design for her February 2024 stitching project.

 She actually purchased the last of the Stitch A Long Kits that I had, 

so she has some of the extra's that were included with the Stitch-A-Long.

Here is a link for her Video sharing all of her 24 starts for 2024, 

check it out, she is going to be one busy lady :)


Here we go.......follow the pictures :)

















I think the only thing I did not mention is that I usually design with DMC in mind 
and then if I feel I would like to use another floss company I just change it as I go. 

I hope this was interesting for you and you can design too :)
Just be creative
