Welcome 2015 - News

It looks like I simply hopped over the latter half of 2014.  Sorry about that.  I admit to not being the best blogger any more.  I haven't made any resolutions to do better but I will attempt to do it more often than I have for those not on Facebook.

Rather than recap the last three months (those designs are on our web site) I am looking ahead to the future.  I was invited by Ann and Pat at Dyeing to Stitch to create a four part series for their new club which is titled, My Dwelling Place (not to be confused with my pattern by that name).  

The club starts around the first part of March.  
Important to note:  you must email dyeing2stitch@aol.com to sign up.  
That's the only way to get the 4 part series.

All of the designs center around house and home so I know you will love stitching them all!  
The photo below shows a snippet of the first design.


Second little bit of news is that I am doing a Hoffman Distributing exclusive this year for Nashville.  I opted out last year because of all we had gone through with Ron and the cancer stuff but I'm back this year!  I just know you will love it AND the bonus design that is included in the pack.  Nashville is the end of February so there is a long wait for the reveal.

And by now I'm sure you all have heard about the new ornament series inspired by my friend, Vonna.  It's called The Sampler Tree which simply means the designs are sampler-ish.  There may be a few that are a little on the cute side but only a few.  They will still fit in with the series.


This is the second ornament we will be shipping called "Oh Christmas Tree."
Don't start looking for it just yet.  We ship the end of next week.

Lastly, I've expanded my designing beyond that of our own business and I am designing for Classic Colorworks.  You can see the Storybook designs Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Queen of Hearts at www.classiccolorworks.com.  Make believe isn't just for kids any more!  Right?

And here is Gracie, exhausted after the holidays.

  
Happy New Year and Happy Stitches,
Diane

Winner of "My Dwelling Place"

First let me say I LOVED reading your comments!  Many of you said the pattern reminded you of your own homes.  I'm so happy the design made you feel something.  I did mention that the design is not our actual 100th pattern. . . . it is the 100th in the full sized line.  We have all of those patterns in small packaging to choose from too!

Our winner using the random number generator is Marilyn who wrote the following:
Congrats on your 100th design!
I like everything about it.
The house, tree, crow, flowers.
It all "fits"!
And the stars on the frame add a lot.
Marilyn 


Please email me at littlehouseneedleworks@msn.com with your address and we'll mail your pattern out right away!

Have a nice weekend. . . . . and as always,
HAPPY STITCHING!

New Release Update and Giveaway

Hooray. . .  .the web site is updated with the supply info for the two new releases this month.  They ship today to distributors so you'll start seeing them in shops next week some time.  If you haven't already read the new newsletter, be sure to see it on the LHN web site.  You'll always see a snippet of a new design that will release the next month.

My Dwelling Place
This design, My Dwelling Place, is marked pattern #100 in the full size version of our designs.  It is not actually our 100th pattern as we have many others in different lines such as the ornaments and a line called Simple Samplers.  But a friend had asked if I was planning anything special for pattern #100 and I said no.  However the more I thought about it the more I thought I should.  So I switched this one from September to August and labeled it with the magic number.  Hopefully it will have a special meaning for you as it did for me when I designed it.  Leave me a comment and I will use the random number generator to choose a winner for this chart on Friday morning.  Just leave a comment that has anything to do with the design and how it makes you feel or what it means to you (or something like that!).

Happy Stitching,
Diane

My Dwelling Place

In just a bit I will be posting the August newsletter to the LHN main web site.  In the meantime I thought I'd tease you with a rather large snippet view of the new design "My Dwelling Place" that ships next week. 

 This design and the ornament are the two releases we have this month.  The LHN web site will be updated with supplies next week.

If you haven't already seen Nikki's two new releases coming out next week, visit her blog to view the photos.  They are adorable!!!!  I am crazy about the apple design.

Happy Stitching,
Diane
