28 years …

February 9, 2016 By Cathy Habermann 18 Comments

If you’ve been a follower & have a really sharp memory – you will remember that I always have a gift at the ready for my dearest on our anniversary … which of course was last Saturday …

… well, it WAS stitched in time but just not finished.

He certainly understood as our house has recently been in turmoil with construction (almost done there), kids activities (they may be grown but are still busy little buggers!), AND market is in less than a month now!!! Let’s just say he’s used to coming home to see me with my hair on fire! (it’s not a good look for me)

Anyway, BE MINE is this year’s Valentine. It’s a dainty one & only took me, slowest stitcher on the planet, an evening to whip up!

I’ve listed the fabric & threads on the page but with such a petite piece, scavenge your surroundings! My surroundings included a piece of 32ct Glastonbury Tor (thanks Stephanie!) – a neat shade of green I know DH will like. I gave mine a great big Chenille hug from Lady Dot Creates & the perfect pins from JABC.

I have updated the webpage with some looks as to what’s about to release so take a peak & in the meantime, enjoy Be Mine.

Night Light NOTE: Cocoa & Grasshopper have identical symbols in the chart. 

The colors (brown & green) are used in distinctly separate areas of the chart & are easily discernible.

My sincere apologies for the charting mishap. 

Buttercup IS mentioned 2x in the color key intentionally.

Final Day of the Nashville Market Road Trip Home: Final Day of the Nashville Market Road Trip Home:

1. Read a book (I am ALL talked out🤣)
2. Keep an eye out on my weather app - we have never not had strange weather experiences on this drive home
3. Smile Bill
4. No, really smile Bill
5. Still working on those road trip snacks 
6. Worked a little on an upcoming design/class. I played with the color swatches before market, just making final decisions 👍🏻

Thank you to the shops that came & continue to support my design work as well as the fabric & thread dyers (& those that cut amazing shapes from wood 😉) that I am fortunate to work alongside. 

A big thank you to Yarn Tree for once again hosting Market!

I can’t believe that I finally get to share this s I can’t believe that I finally get to share this special project❤️ - the mystery market release is revealed!

‘I’m New Here’ - not just a baby sampler, we’re calling it a Baby Story - a sweet saying that I was inspired to write not long after we found out that we were going to be grandparents! 

The small ornament is perfect for the newly born- I’ve included alternative skin tone palettes for those tiny tootsies as well as an alphabet and numbers for personalization. 

Many thanks to @chantelles141 for working behind the scenes with me to create the Baby on Board finishing boards. The DMC palette is also easy to customize. 

We did not share any of the design details before market and asked shops to ‘do their thing’ - a great many came home with charts for you!! We thank them for their support!
