It’s Been a Great Week!

June 12, 2014 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

I’ve got winners!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my At the Beach contest – may this summer find you at the beach – or at least at the place that makes you happy!

I had entries come in through email as well as the blog (blogger glitch…) so we put everyone’s name on a piece of paper.

I had my son scramble the entries & pick 5 names! (He’s used to being asked to perform the occasional odd task around the house…)

& the winners are

I know, I know – hard to read. I’ll be in touch with: Howdy68, Renee, Judybob3, Marilyn, Nicolesender

As soon as we connect, I will send you my latest release – At the Beach!

It’s been a awesome week for me as well.

Over 8 months ago, I was contacted by the editorial staff at Just Cross Stitch to set up an interview and design a piece for the August issue.

The issue is now available and man, is that cool! I had a great interview with Vickie Jennett (of Needlework Press) and designed the Black & White Garden Pinkeep. I have been so excited to share this piece with you.

Check out my photos – but wait – there’s more…I also have an ornament in the issue as part of the annual Ornament Preview section!

I shot a couple pics before I sent the model of to the editors. The message unfolds as you open up the pinkeep!

Congrats again to the winners.

Enjoy the stitch,

Cathy

    Congrats to the winners!

    I just got my electronic version of JCS yesterday. I think I'm going to do your pinkeep as my next small project as soon as I finish Petal Pincushion from the April issue.

The 3rd and final January release-here’s the surprise with this sweet design: it uses colors from the Sulky 12wt Cotton Petites pack that we used on More Chocolate Bunnies that was released 2 years ago! Plenty of thread for both (of course threadpacks and that are still available as well!)

Contact your shop to pre-order...charts ship next week!
