Last May I released a chart titled ‘Home of the Brave’. I licensed this lovely piece of artwork from Lily & Val, LLC – you can read more about the design on the product page as well as FlossTube #67 where Mr. HOD & I chat about the most recent releases. That’s not what this
ARE YOU A SPRING STITCHER?
Are you a Spring Stitcher? I think a lot of stitchers work on their pumpkins & ornaments year round…but there seems to be a point in the year – right about now – when we put the snowmen stitches aside for something fresh! Birds, bees (we’re talking stitching remember), blooms…soft pastels or bright take your
WEAR LOVE
Wear Love Everywhere You Go – Colossians 3:14 October 2021 – I wasn’t thinking at all about what I would design for my annual Anniversary Token…in fact, it was probably the furthest thing from my mind. Isn’t there a comedian that does a ‘bit’ using the words…’here’s your sign’? Well, there it was… I
POLLY’S JOURNEY
Happy New Year! Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about the journey of these past 2 years & what it’s taught me about myself. It was a year ago that I was introduced to ‘Polly Maria’ & began working with Ginny of Shanty Stitchers on retracing this needlewoman’s journey from her roots in
A POWERFUL PUMPKIN
The Philanthropic Pumpkin This sweet pumpkin is what happens when 2 friends in a common industry put their heads together for a greater good. The back story (you know I always have one…) This project has been several years in the making through many conversations with Lois of Lady Dot Creates. It started when I
I’VE BEEN FRAMED
I’ve been framed!! Well, I should say, I’ve been framing! I had a very definite look in mind when I was planning The Kitchen Counter designs. Retro, bright & a unique frame – something to pop… in a subtle way. My local frame places are having a difficult time right now getting in the bright,
TURNIP THE BEET
It’s Thyme to Turnip the Beet! The vegetable puns have been flying around our house lately!! I giggled my way through the whole design process right through the stitching and finishing!! I wanted to experiment with more hoop finishes – actually, I wanted to dye the hoop. As I shopped around my small town with
LOVE YOU
Love You Each year as I sit here & write a blogpost about the newest Anniversary design, I usually spot a theme to our year…travels, family, big events – it makes the post very easy to write. This year…is different. I’m not going to list the things that made the past year difficult…each &
IF PUMPKINS COULD FLY…
I was asked to design a special piece for a monthly bag program & as I was ‘finishing’ the project, I thought I would snap a few pictures to walk you through my process. But first…a little background! Here is the design ‘inspirational’ fabric! So adorable…there was a special request for a Frankenstein to be
SECRET SANTA – SECRETS REVEALED
Secret Santa – Secrets revealed…I feel like this is one of those reality tv shows where they have the ‘behind the scenes’ show after the season is over, only I promise no cat fights!! (or you might end up on the naughty list!) Here they are, in all of their glory! Personally, I can’t wait
