New Patterns

Hi everyone. . . . . it was web site update day!

www.littlehouseneedleworks.com.

This is the the next ornament of the month, The Merry Skater. 

Her companion ornament comes out in the Just Cross Stitch ornament issue later this year.

This is the one my mom, Carol stitched.  It's called "Simple Joys". 

It's on a bookshelf in my family room where I can see it every day. 

Thanks so much mom!  XO

The third release this month is "The Mercantile" stitched by Rita DePalatis. 

She tells me it was fun to stitch and she loved the colors.  You can check out all of the threads used on each of these designs at the Little House web site. 

You'll get fabric info along with stitch counts to can get your stash ordered all at once!

Happy stitching. . . . . . . Diane

Mom. . . . .

I am so blessed to still have my mom and have her in my life.  We chat on the phone every singe day (sometimes more than once!) and catch up on family things, chat about our day, and now even talk about stitching.  As many of you know from an earlier post, my mom is stitching on linen at the age of 78. She just just learned this year and has already completed a number of projects.  The one I want to share here is a model she stitched for me called "Simple Joys".  It was also her first experience with overdyed thread and I must tell you that she is spoiled already!  The model is beautiful as she has always been a very neat and pretty stitcher.  I am so proud to share this snippet with you and showcase my mom's work!

I've displayed the finish in my home where I can see it every day!  This design and the other two will ship at the end of this week.

Mom has stitched a few more models that will appear here and on Nikki's web site later on.  Right now she is hard at work on the Rose Quaker and loving it.
