Happy Stitching!!

It’s finally time to introduce my new SAL. 

It takes me approx. a year to design and plan these.

But it is finally finished YEAH!!

"TIME FOR SEASONS"

I had some request for a season theme and I myself love the season changes.

 Living in New England certainly has beauty in all of them. 

So whether we are speaking about the season of nature 

or seasons of our lives one thing is for sure every day is a journey.

“Time For Seasons”

Start Date: Nov 15th

How Many Releases: There will be a release every month for 8 months. 

There are 2 scenes for every season.

The Cost: 

$10.00 per month for 8 months 

or $80.00 can be paid with the first payment

Hard Copies or PDF's

If you would like your local needlework shop

 to participate please send them a message, 

hard copies will be available from them.

OR

There will be PDF copies available from me.

"Thank you Gifts"

And... I usually have a Thank You gift for those that Participate in the SAL

 and this year it will be the 4 Season Separate charted designs.

These will be available only at the end of the SAL.

Here are the SAMPLEs

Each of these designs has a stitch count of 160 x 208

If these are stitched on 16ct Aida or 32cr linen over 2,

 they would measure 10 x 13 and fit great in an 11 x 14 frame.

What is the Stitch Count for the SAL Design

The whole design for "Time For Seasons" is 226 x 226

And one more thing

Every month when you receive your pattern for the SAL section 

you will also receive a layout for the sections that can be stitched 

to make the design look like an antique vintage POSTCARD!!

Here are the Samples

These little postcards have a stitch count of 101 x 70

If stitched on 16ct Aida or 32ct Linen over 2 

they will look wonderful in a 5 x 7 frame

More Updated 9/30/2019

These center ideas along with the corner options will be available also!

I have a few different center designs that I made along the way with the Bible Verse
 and then a Simple saying and then just the Word "Seasons". 
All of the others were to busy for the design 
because the design is so busy itself, 
so I settled on the Word "Season". 
***************************
I have added one of the others as an option
"The Sailboat" 
I figure we are all sailing through life each in our own Season 

***************************
My other option was to give you a suggestion about the center 
and leave it blank, 
find a framer that could make you a frame 
or at least a Mat that would fit the design
 and then in the center of the open mat instead of a photo
 you could add a mirror.
 I have posted a couple of pictures from Pinterest
 with this idea. I Do love old things and I especially love Stumpwork
.....Maybe I could draw this design out,
 have it printed onto fabric 
and make a stumpwork class, 
but I would have to paint the background sky, hills,and grasses
...Oh that would be awesome.
I could go on and on HAHA
But lets get on with the cross stitching first !!



These are just samples for framing with a mirror in the center!
