Each chart is double checked before it ships out…but every once in a while, my ‘human’ shows. A number gets transposed or left off, symbols get reversed, or I just plain copy/paste incorrectly! I’ll keep this space updated as I hear from stitchers & I thank you for your support & patience!
hd-5 Quilt Squared II – The list of required threads incorrectly states that Ethiopia is #219. It is #231. Cardinal is #219 and is one of the required colors for this design.
hd-17 At the Beach – The fish on the left side is charted to be GAST Geranium but should be WDW Pumpkin.
hd-32 April: Year in Chalk – the stitching instruction lists the correct color, Chalk & Ohio Lemon Pie. Other instruction refers to it as Chalk & Avocado.
hd-77 Block Party – Java – the initial print run left the symbol ‘B’ off of the chart color key for the color WDW Cappucino
To the Beach series: The DMC substitute for GAST Chamomile was listed as 3022. DMC 3045 would be a more suitable substitution, Charts affected:
hd-79 Oh Whale, hd-80 A Little Cottage, hd-87 Adjust your Sail, hd-88 Flock Together, hd-92 On Beach Time
hd-79 Oh Whale – Portabella DMC substitute should be 840
hd-100 Hey There Pumpkin – The printer printed the incorrect file for the 1st printing & a few got out. The symbols for the colors did not print correctly. Here is the correct color key.
hd-123 Chalk for the Home: Tulip House – click here for the corrected color key for the smaller Spring design (color key for the larger HOME sampler is correct)
hd-167 A Year of Celebrations – the 1st print run of the charts omitted the 3 GAST colors: Sunflower, Tea Rose & Terra Cotta – AUGUST color Key: the DMC substitution for WDW WaterMelon Punch shows 591 – it should be 891.
hd-178 WOOF Block Party – the charted dog bones along the bottom border do not match up at the 2 ends as charted. Move 1 side up or down depending on where you start.
hd-197 Flower of Winter – The Symbol used in the words along the side of the pincushion was cut off of the color key. That symbol is for Weeks Dye Works Driftwood.
hd-203 Holly St. Nick – the backstitch branches on the holly sprigs below Santa’s feet were left off. Refer to cover image – use the backstitch sprigs from the top row in 1 strand Gunmetal
hd-204 The Santa Key – the holly leaf & berry under the ‘m’ in problem should be scooted to the left one stitch – refer to cover photo
hd-205 Well Rounded – correction for the Autumn sampler pinwheel to coordinate with the cover model. Print here for the correction.
SECRET SANTA news: you will line up the sections of the Secret Santa from chart to chart. Charts 1 & 2 have dark lines marking every 10th grid – do not line these up…line up the outside edges. To avoid confusion, I have removed the darker grid lines from future segments. I have taken care to make the width of overall block line-up.
hd-215 Be A Pineapple: a few yellow buds & backstitch branches were left off the Stand Tall tray in the 1st print run. Print here for the correction.
hd-289 – A Vintage Stitch – Island Breeze Weeks Dye Works floss is incorrectly identified as Robin’s Egg in the backstitch instruction.
2025 Jingle Ball Baubles – the following information was omitted from the Bauble Book
Hey Santa by Hands On Design:

hd-342 – Gather Round the Manger – Model shows Joseph’s coat stitching in shades of green but charted for browns. 3862 should be stitched in 471, 07 should be stitched in 937 to match the cover model (the brown shades also look perfect for an alternate choice). NOTE: 2 small changes to the Christmas Rose garland border to stitch all 3 designs together: Print here for the border correction
hd-347 – Night Light – Cocoa & Grasshopper have identical symbols in the chart. The colors (brown & green) are used in distinctly separate areas of the chart & are easily discernible.
