Updated the "Time For Seasons" Page

Just a quick note that I have updated the Time For Seasons Page

 with some info about the Work order for stitching scenes,

 I was planning on going around clockwise,

 but have reconsidered this work plan.

We have stitched to date Summer Scene #1 

and Summer Scene#2. 

Our next will be Autumn Scene #1 

and then it will be Autumn Scene #2.

Instead of moving onto the Winter Scenes 

we will head on up and work our Spring Scene #1

 and then Spring #2, 

this will lead us into the Winter Scenes which will flow much easier.

Just thought I would keep you up to date!!

Hope you are enjoying stitching

oh and one more thing, there seems to be some questions 

about the date for the PDF releases.

You are invoiced on the 5th and you have 10 days to pay.

 I then gather all of the paid invoices at once and send out the emails 

with your PDF's on the 15th of every month, 

Sometimes I can send them out early depending on the day of the week

 but never later than the 15th. 

I have had quite a few people this month asking for their PDF's, 

If you do not received them and it is the 16th, 

 then please send me an email and I will help you and find out the problem

If any one is interested in joining or 

you never looked at the info for the SAL yet,

 please head on over to this page with info for you to check out

Time For Seasons Page HERE!!

Gift Certificate Giveaway starting today!!

Happy Holiday Season

We are having a Gift Certificate Giveaway for the Etsy Shop!!

How this will work:

For The first 50 Customers in the Etsy shop starting TODAY!!

 your name will be placed in a HAT!!

As Soon as we reach 50 customers

I will have a drawing for two Lucky stitchers.

Each of you will receive a Gift Certificate for the

 "By The Bay Needleart" Etsy Shop for $100.00

AND

When you are out and about checking out the shop 

you will notice that I am also having a "Special" 

It is on a Soon To Be Discontinued Design Bundle!!

$10.00 for the 2 Design Bundle

"Stitch An Inch Christmas"

There are 10 small and quick to stitch designs that 

measure 28 x 28 stitch count.

If you stitch them over (1) on 28ct linen they will 

measure one inch or if you stitch them

on 14ct Aida or 28ct linen over (2) 

they will measure two by two inches. 

A great size for a "Teachers Gift" or a "Special Gift" for a friend.....

also a good size for an ornament!

And

"Santa's Blessings"

This design has some very Special Words that we need 

to share this Holiday Season.

"Love", "Joy", and "Peace"

You can stitch up these designs to display in your 

Home and share the Message!

and one more in the pack is the "Holiday Greetings" Home.

.....the lights have been left on 

for friends and family so they know they are welcomed!!

More information can be found for these designs

 such as sizes, fabric, and fibers on this site

http://bythebayneedleartdesigns.blogspot.com/

Since these designs are being discontinued 

get them while you can, these are limited

Have a Great Week

and keep stitching

It is a stress reliever unless you are "Being visited by a Frog" OH NO!!

(Its a term used by stitchers that refers to

 taking out stitches when you make a mistake. 

When you take a stitch out you have to "Rip It" (What a FROG  says) KINDA!!

Boo Boo!!

Since we have started the "Time for Seasons" SAL and I started stitching this a few days ago

....I came across a Symbol that has gone rogue

....DMC 3052 has decided to venture out on his own

 and land in some peculiar places.  

On this section by the large tree and the house on the left he decided to hug the tree trunk

...I have highlighted him in yellow for you...so that space should really be DMC 502

And on the section by the fence and the house on the right he had landed by the fence

...I have highlighted him there and that space should be 3011

....I guess he wanted to blend in with his family HAHA

So this little NOTE! is only for the charts that are hard copies and sent to the shops

 Because I found him early enough I could fix all of the PDF's last night...

So we are good to go,  but if you have received a hard copy 

please keep your eye out for this little wanderer. 

Happy Stitching

hugs

Check out the "Old Tattered Flag" and a "Special" in the Shop This Week

This weeks Special in the shop is "Holy Night"

Purchase "Holy Night" and receive "Outline Art Christmas Pack #2" for Free

Link for the Etsy shop here

The Outline Art was a cross stitch idea I had long ago, 

It was an idea for you to cross stitch the outlines of the designs first

 and then you can just fill in the sections after with no counting, 

So if you were stitching when you could be distracted....

there would be no worry about counting because you already had the counting part finished

....you only had to color in the spaces. 

I do LOVE the Simplicity of the Dove with the word "PEACE"

*********************

And Speaking of Trees.....Were we speaking of trees?

HAHA

Well that is the topic we are moving on to.

 "The Old Tattered Flag"

has been working with the Sizzix Machine for cutting wool strips for rug hooking

 and has the idea for the Sizzix Machine that will cut your

Wool Fringe Strips for you so can make your wool feather trees quickly, 

save your fingers, and save time...

So if you plan on making some of these tree's this will certainly help.

Here is a link to Julie talking about the machine

 and some of her other molds for cutting wool to make proddy rugs too. 

Also I believe you have to have Facebook to be able to see the video....Im not sure though!!

So here is a link to her website also 

Old Tattered Flag

So hop on over to the "Old Tattered Flag" and grab a cup of coffee 

and watch the video with Julie and her Mom

Have a good weekend and Enjoy stitch too

hugs

donna 

I just wanted to remind everyone that has made Wool Feather Trees of just wants to make some decorations for your own trees that I have directions on my blog for these little quick wool roses.  You could also add these to a barrette or stitch them on-top of any of your stitching, maybe onto a garden scene. 

Here is the link to the post with more information. it is from 2013 but still good directions HAHA

. 

Have a great Tuesday

Making room for new things !!

I am gathering my supplies for the new SAL

"Time For Seasons"

and there was a question regarding the center of the design

The stitch count is 112 x 112.

Maybe someone would like to chart their own idea for the center

 or just need this count for any other ideas you may have!!

I just love it when you are creative and share your thoughts 

and

Speaking about being CREATIVE, Deborah Hendrix on the Facebook group had an idea for the POSTCARDS.

Here idea is to make a postcard book with “Seasons” on the cover

 and then an individual postcard on each page

....kind of a little coffee or side table accessory.

I LOVE it 💓
