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 :)

A Time to Gather

 Good morning everyone, 

I have an invitation for you. 

I have been trying to get a place for crafters to gather, and have friendship. 

We attend a church called "First Christian Church of Kittery Point" located in Kittery Maine. 

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.

Send me an email if you live close by and would lke to join us.

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

The last Home will be released Oct 8^th…….

So that is the LAST DAY to Sign up for the discounted Stitch A Long price

Etsy Shop HERE

 

The SPECIAL is almost over!!!!

 Hello Fellow Stitchers, 

I want to thank everyone that participated in the “Home Sweet Home” Stitch-A-Long. I enjoyed seeing your progress and some of your changes. It makes my heart happy when I see you make them truly your own.

 I am working on another Stitch-A-Long…..Alphabet themed ….maybe?

 Future Release Plans for Home Sweet Home:

Just a quick note to anyone that wanted to stitch the “Home Sweet Home” designs…..these will be released starting in December as individual charts.

I will release 2 in December and then 3 the next and then 2 again until they have all been released.  

 Also there has been a discounted price for Stitch-A-Long participants, and this will be ending on October 8th with the release of the last “Home” in the Series.

Since these are individual patterns and not everyone will want to stitch the Design as a large project the “Layouts” will be extra $10.00 …And the price will be increased from $7.00 each Home to $9.00 each Home.

 If you were interested in the “Home Sweet Home” design series this would be a good time to sign up, before the price increase.

The last Home will be released Oct 8th…….So that is the LAST DAY!!!

 And Happy Fall!!! I just love this time of year…

Hugs

Donna

Vineyard Summer is ready to go...

Free Pumpkins again HAHA

Happy Sunday Aug 14 2022

I am reposting a free design that I gave away 4 years ago

....wow time does fly bye!

Here is the link to the original blog post about it here

Ginger Shull on Instagram posted her finished pumpkins, 

that reminded me I should share it again. 

I will be turning the Etsy shop on Vaca mode for a few days, 

 since I will not be able to mail out orders or answer conversations, 

Enjoy your stitching time 

and 

I feel a little Autumn in the Air here :)
