New Patterns!

I just updated my web site with the newest patterns.  The web site also has supply info.

Here is the new Robin Hood design that I previewed.  I can see the people stitched on bookmarks also . . . . maybe stacked on top of one another like a miniature bell pull.  Don't ask where Friar Tuck is. . . . not only did I run out of room but I couldn't do the hair and his head in such a way that I like it. 

This is the photo I took that started the fire.  Right above the flame are pine cones. 

The one on fire is cropped out of the image but it was red and smoldering!  So this is "Winter Sheep", the 5th ornament in the series. 

Music to stitch by. . . . . . .

When you get your Robin Hodd pattern and it's all kitted and ready to go. . . . . . put some of this music on: Robin Hood - Elizabethan Ballad Settings.  iTunes carries it too. . . . . . I think it's wonderful!

A Sneak Peek at Robin Hood. . . . . . .

If you liked "The Bookshelf" and "The Old West" from Little House, I think you'll like "Robin Hood" too.  Creating designs that tell a story without a lot of words is a fun way to design for me.  You take a little of this and a little of that and shake it all up!  Well. . . . it isn't that easy.  Actually these designs are the hardest of all to graph because they have to fit like a puzzle.  The objects look totally random but there is a balance to them.  "Robin Hood" will be out the end of March and we'll ship mid-month.  The full sized image will be on our web site in a few weeks.
