#BEWELLANDSTITCH – CHOOSE HAPPY

March 20, 2020 By Cathy Habermann 8 Comments

Choose Happy

 

Sometimes, it is a conscious choice to be happy & now, more than ever, we might just have to say these words out loud…’I choose happy’.

A conversation among a group of designers has come together as a tiny but mighty movement to create a project of free designs for stitchers. Imagine a basket or bowl filled to the brim with wellness needlework!

Follow the hashtag #bewellandstitch to stay in the loop with this project.

Once you have your free charts in hand, please consider, if you are able, placing an order with your needlework shop for threads or fabrics, embellishments or trims. Many shops are offering specials as they continue to serve stitchers. As always, you can find a list of shops that carry Hands On Design charts on my website.

    Thank you! I’ve almost finished using a little different colors to match some particular fabric I want to use to make the bag. You’re generosity is amazing.

This sweet pink linen was perfect for my retro-fee This sweet pink linen was perfect for my retro-feel color palette, but when it came to finishing, I wanted to boost the pink a little. Swipe to see how I layered a slightly darker pink cotton to give me the finish I was looking for!

Many thanks to Steph of Fabrics by Stephanie for working her dyeing magic! This New Release is aida friendly & yes...the linen color comes in aida!

New Releases ship to shops next week!

It’s been a good day to celebrate 61 trips around It’s been a good day to celebrate 61 trips around the sun. Quietly working away in the studio, sending emails, posting new releases & working on upcoming projects. ❤️

Are you in either of my classes during the @jingleballxs ? Check your inbox, I sent out a class FAQ email earlier today. Yes, there is still plenty of time to sign up for the Ball & both of my classes (Stand Up for Santa & Perforated Poinsettias)

Home for the Holidays is a fun, quick to stitch & finish retro colored classic. I put this one in my 'comfort stitch' category 🪡❤️

So sweet on that pale pink linen from Stephanie. Chantelle's Penny Paddle is the perfect size for this finish!
