NEW! Hillside Travelers

Houses, horses, swans, rabbits, squirrels . . . . . . . they're all here!

I am so excited to share this design with you.  It is the soon-to-be released "Hillside Travelers". It's funny how the design process sometimes works.  In this case I wrote the verse first then designed around it.  Mom claimed it immediately and asked to stitch it (which she did).

Now and then I have trouble getting animal proportions right and the horses were a bit harder in this design because they didn't have riders on them as in past designs.  So mom came over one day to lend a hand.  She has a good eye for this sort of thing but was finding designing horses with "X's" instead of a pencil a bit difficult too!

This chart releases closer to the end of the month when it gets into shop.  It ships mid-month along with the ornament I previewed earlier.  I'll post the supply list on the LHN web site next week.  I have one more photo to show you. . . . . . stay tuned!  It's full of flowers and pretty darker scarlets and greens.

The first of the 2011 ornaments!

As promised, I am letting you see the first of the 2011 ornaments after Christmas.  We are still quite away from shipping it out in mid-January.  The supply list isn't available just yet but when it does show up it will be on a link of the LHN web site.

Vonna (The Twisted Stitcher) is in charge of the stitching and finishing of all twelve designs.  She continually out-does herself with the finishes.  Isn't this twig frame perfect for the design????  Even the little corners are wrapped neatly making this one look very rustic. 

There are two more designs I'll show here in the days ahead leading up to our mid-month ship date.  Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by my blog all year long and supporting us with your stitching and comments.  2011 will be a wonderful year full of new styles in our regular line and also a few surprises. 

I love surprises, don't you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
