Celebrating "Serenity Harbor" with Denise

 

I wanted to share what "Denise" shared on Instagram the other day...

She finished "Serenity Harbor" and I fell in LOVE with the finish and the water, 

ESPECIALLY the Fabric she picked and how the blue and white looks perfect for the sky!!

The linen she used was 28ct Cross Winged’s Sky linen by Cross Winged Collection.

She also changed the water a bit and used Theadworx 01056, DMC 3809, 

Here is a Link to her Instagram to check out more on the Post !!

Thank you to everyone that stitched this design and is still stitching it today, 

💓

Have a good weekend

A little spring sale

 

"Spring Has Arrived"

This design is on SALE for a Limited Time only.

The Regular price is $20.00 and the SALE price is $15.00

Here is a little note about it and some helpful information

As winter leaves and the snow starts to melt at the bottom of the scene you can see some little bulbs poking out from the ground. The bees are getting ready to be busy and the trees and bushes are flourishing with their fragrant flowers. The springtime grass is sprouting to feed the new little lambs. As you move up the scene flowers have already been picked and added to a barrel for display. More blooming bushes around the homes and finally the largest tree with its light green foliage starting to get a few specks of darker leaves...getting ready to move into Summer....

And the next Seasons release will be "Summer Time Is Here"

Home Sweet Home Coming Soon

Happy February, 

I have had many requests for “Home Sweet Home” to be released again, they were released as a SAL last year, so it is time to release them as individual designs with the option to stitch the whole Neighborhood. 

I will be releasing the Home Sweet Home Series on March 1st.

There are 12 separate Homes that can be stitched as individual designs or as the Group of Home Sweet Homes.

The first Home called Rosewood Manor will be sold as an individual chart.

 OR

as the individual chart along WITH the grid layout for all the Homes, the floss listing and stitch count if you would like to stitch as one large design. Also included is the extra decorative border for the individual designs. The cost for this one will be extra.

On March 1st I will release the first 2 Homes across the Grid. Rosewood Manor and Willow Haven

The following month on the 1st I will release the next 3 Homes on the next row across the grid, and so on for every month until they are all released following the Rows of Homes.

Next month (April) there will be 3 releases for the Series,  so keep you eye out if you missed the Stitch A Long !

These are Coming out as individual charts

Check with your local Needlework Shop to see if they preorderd them.

Have a Happy weekend :)

They have allowed me to start a "Sewing/Craft Bee"

Tomorrow Tuesday Nov 15th will be the first day we will get togather. The location is at 542 Haley Road in KitteryPoint Maine, its a little white church with parking in the back. 

We can meet from 12 - 2:30, We will have light refreshments, coffee, and tea. If you would like to join us please just send me an email at          stitch by the bay @ aol dot com    this is so I will know approx how many people will attend, also if you have a refreshment you would like to share that would be wonderful too but please do not feel obligated.

 This time will be for us to bring our crafts such as sewing, crochet, knitting, cross stitch, rug hooking, embroidery or what ever you are working on and make friends.

I am planning on meeting once a month for now and we can see what the future brings. The next date planned  will be Tuesday Dec 6th.
