Yes, we are back from market and trying to empty boxes and find things like picture files.  I have 3 of our 5 new charts to show you on our "NEW" page.  Have a look at our Polar Quakers chart which has both a polar bear and a penguin.  Shops seemed to really like them at the Nashville market.  Our Workbasket of Seasons can be stitched as four separate small baskets or together with the saying,

     There is no season such delight can bring as
     Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. 

We also have a picture of our chart, House of Alphabets.  This chart has two houses each with alphabets built into them.  We have finished them with buttons to create a spine by sewing buttons on the outside spine and inside spine. 

Our last two designs are coming--Cat Roundel and Angels Sampler.  Please stay tuned as they will be on the site shortly. 

I am also adding a few photos from the market.  It is an indescrible time for us.  We come back exhausted, inspired and exhilarated. 

Both Mary and I hope that you really enjoy them all.  We had so much fun designing, stitching and finishing them.

As ALWAYS, we love hearing from you and seeing pictures of your work.  Please continue contacting us.  If you do not hear from us in return, it means that your server will not accept emails from mine which is out of  The Netherlands. Thank you again and again for your patronage. 

Our website was stitched on Lakeside Linen's 40 count Woodsmoke using one strand of Silk 'N Colors in Texas Bluebonnet from The Thread Gatherer.
