New England Winter Sampler

So this is the full reveal of the "New England Winter Sampler" that ships to our distributors today.  Once stitched, this design is sure to become a family heirloom.  You will need Weeks 30 count Cocoa linen if you want to stitch it the same as the model.  And please do ooh and ahh over the frame from Valley House Primitives.  It is a perfect compliment to the red in the design.  I will be updating the web site this week with full supply details.

Next month we are releasing the last ornament for 2011 along with a spectacular reproduction/adaptation sampler done in reds, greens and white.  My mom stitched it for me and it's beautiful.  Of course I'll get a few peeks out after the first of the month.  :)  Mom is anxious and I don't blame her!

Happy Stitching,

Diane

A Winter Sampler

I don't normally preview patterns quite so early, but because of the snow seen all over the east I decided to show a little peek of an upcoming sampler.  It seems winter is here for many of you!

The design is titled very appropriately, "New England Winter Sampler".  Having worked with a few antique samplers, a bit of the old way in which samplers were stitched  found a way into my heart.  I love the large layout and randomness of the various elements.

Like I said, this is a preview of an upcoming pattern.  The design won't ship until mid November along with ornament #11.

Happy Stitching,
Diane
