It's December 1st ....not many days ahead and so much to do until Christmas! I know many of you feel like that. I don't "blog" like I used to but I thought now was a good time to create a post for a number of reasons.
First, thank you all for sharing your inspired finishes throughout the year in the LHN/CCN stitching group on FB and Instagram. The Hometown Holiday finishes never cease to amaze me. So much fun!!! Many of you have finished Farmhouse Christmas differently too....again...very inspirational and wonderful to see.
So you may have seen the new series that will come out in early February. We are busy printing the first chart in the series. I am determined to be more prepared this year than I was when Farmhouse Christmas released!! Let's hope!!
Jack Frost is a kindly old man who runs a little business where folks like us can shop for their favorite tree, have a cup of cocoa and a cookie (baked by Mrs. Frost). There are seven designs in all with the first being the wide design at the top. You can see Jack waving from his little house, welcoming one and all to the farm.
Below the large design sit six more that will sit in two rows if stitching them on one piece of fabric.
For the first time since creating series many years ago, I will be showing a likeness of the designs once the first one releases so you can get a better idea of all of the charts along with placement.
The supply list is slowly making it's way to the LHN web site. If you want trims, they are listed there along with the fabric used. Threads will show up in a few weeks.
I have one more big holiday design planned for 2019 and then I'm not sure which direction I'll take but maybe something different (unless I hear otherwise!)
Our sweet girl, Gracie just celebrated her 9th birthday! Her frosty face says she is getting up there but she still has a lot of spunk. Unfortunately she has had a real tough time with Valley Fever and now Cushings Disease but we are taking really good care of her!!

As always, I appreciate your comments and the time you take to spend with me.
Happy Stitching,
Diane
What a great new series. I still love the Hometown Holiday Series. I am slow to stitch them as life seems to get in the way. I have stitched the first four and am stitching the church and plan to finish them this year. Love all your designs.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Merry Christmas to you and your family including Gracie.
I can't wait for this to hit my lns and have already pre-ordered.
ReplyDeleteGracie is adorable, please give her a cuddle from me. May you have a joyful holiday season
You are so talented and I appreciate all that you do for the stitching community. Gracie is just too precious :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Can’t wait for the new series and to see what you have up your sleeve for future designs!
ReplyDeleteDiane - this promises to be another stitching delight for your many fans. Thank you, thank you! And Merry Christmas to all your family.
ReplyDeleteI love your new series! Thank you so much for your fabulous designs❤
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family. I so enjoy stitching your lovely series, looking forward to `Jack Frost`and wondering what`s coming after that. Hope Grace is alright. Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteI just love the new series you have created! I have so many of the others you and Nicki have done in my house. They mean so much to me! Thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteLove your designs and this is no letdown. Gracie is beautiful and I'll put her on my prayer list. I had to look up Valley Fever-they thought my dog had Cushings but tests said no. She got cancer in 2012, tumor removed, 3 tumors in lymph nodes in 2013. They gave her less than a year. She lived until this past July, age 13 1/2 yrs and I owe it to love and puppy prayers. They called her "The miracle dog" and that she was.
ReplyDeleteThis new Christmas design series is spectacular! I adore these Christmas cuties and I hope they don't end anytime soon, unless it's for a Halloween series or and Easter series, etc. lol I hope there with be a Christmas treat series with a bakery, Christmas candy store, candies, cookies and cakes! The gingerbread man and his wife could be the bakers. The Christmas tree farm is genius! I love it! There could also be a Christmas flower series that would be awesome. Please don't stop! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new series and all of your designs. Gracie is precious! Our pets are family!
ReplyDeleteOh so in love with this series also! And while I am currently stitching Santa’s village, the farmhouse series and glitter village, I’m hopeful you might consider a series that’s a year around Stitch? I am contemplating changing the snow to green on the farmhouse series just so I can have it up all year long . ��.
ReplyDeleteI’m good with anything as long as you keep designing. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGracie is beautiful Diane. Your new series looks exciting!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. I love your designs and look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us. Thanks for all you do.
ReplyDeleteDiane. this series looks to be so much fun as always. can't wait to see more of it. Gracie is as pretty as ever!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited !
ReplyDeleteI love your next series!! Thank you for creating such beautiful patterns!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to begin the woodland series. They will be a wonderful stitch to enjoy when it is so cold here in northern Indiana. Thank you as always for all the wonderful designs.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like another lovely series, Diane. I’ve loved Farmhouse and want to back track to stitch the Hometown (which I have). What’s that saying? So much to stitch; so little time! Give Gracie a hug from rainy, cool Carolinas
ReplyDeleteSo excited about your new series!! It is another favorite and must stitch. Give Gracie a little treat from all of us. Have a wonderful holiday season!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the new series! I love your designs; I just need a few more hours in the day to stitch them all!! Thank you for all the wonderful designs you have created over the years!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this new series..already on the list at my LNS. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteDiane--We chop down our tree every year so this series seems especially perfect. Love Gracie--we have an 11 year old golden named Bear who is the kind of the house.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about the new design! My baby girl, brat, Madison Rose is 10 now. She is a Lhasa and is starting to have trouble jumping up on the first get go - unless super excited. Then boom, she is at that window in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
