A Story behind the design...Brave Boat Harbor

 

A Story behind this design and name....
I live in York Maine and I have heard of Brave Boat Harbor but never looked up its history. I did find some interesting things about it ...here is a snippet of something I found.....
"Back in the 1600s, Brave Boat Harbor was a significant discovery for the explorers and early settlers who first came here. The shallow harbor provided safe anchorage from the angry Atlantic. But the entrance is narrow, and the surf makes passage tricky. Hence, only brave boats dared to enter." taken from The Maniacal Traveler

and so here is my little story for this design and my Hope for you....

“This Lone Sailboat is making the trek through the stormy waves in this narrow harbor….it certainly is Brave. Just as we are going through these testing and trying times may we be just as Brave as we Look forward to our Blessed Hope with Peace and Calm!!”

PS" it was hard to take a picture of the model with glass in the frame, I usually do not use glass in my frames but with this frame the glass just would not come out...it was glued in :( , so there appears to be a line under the birds...it's just a reflection.

The chart should be ready in about 2 weeks. Happy Summer Stitching and I do have two Autumn designs in my Hoop!!!

Have a nice summer day

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"
