My design style has always tended towards bold motifs & rich color. I became fascinated with chalk art several years ago. I included bold graphics & lettering in my timeless monthly Chalk series 'A Year in Chalk'.

More Chalk cross stitch has followed through a chalk art to chalk cross stitch collaboration with chalk artist Priscilla Blain - we have worked on several series to celebrate the seasons at Home & On the Farm.

This is a great think-out-side-the-box project for finishing. Many home decor stores have frames, stands & plaques that make a perfect display piece. Be sure to check out the tutorial on how to finish on a chalkboard style hanger.

I was going to share another upcoming release toda I was going to share another upcoming release today, but I wasn’t ready to leave Spring just yet 😊

The bird nest on the cover of the chart is an actual nest that I rescued. At one point it had the most amazing blue egg in it that I’ve ever seen. 

When we built this house, we had no idea it be a home for more than just #mrhod and me. Swallows, sparrows, robins...they share it with us. 

I loved the ‘nest’ that I designed so much, it made it into all 3 pieces in this chart❤️

Fabric bundles are now available from @simplestitchesfabricshop - @zappydots has a ‘hello spring’ needle nanny available as well. Thank you to both of these companies for their continued collaboration.
