Hello fellow stitchers!
Welcome to the new look of the website. Hope you like it and you find it easy to navigate.
I've been spending most of my time as "mom" to my coming up on 2 yr old daughter so I've been on a self-imposed hiatus of sorts. Don't count me out though - I am working on some new pieces, so look for those to hit stores sometime later this year.
Hope all of you have been stitching and have had wonderful holidays!
Happy Stitching!

Hello fellow stitchers!
After a bit of a ...well, we'll call it a hiatus, I'm back and designing and promise to try to keep up with the website better!
I have two new releases for ya - Historical Representations and Holly and Candlelight. Designs that are just in time for a nice autumn and holiday season. You can check them out under the New Designs link on the Design Catalog page.
As well, look for an ornament in the Just Cross Stitch Christmas issue, coming out soon!
Until next time...
Happy Stitching!

Hello all!
I've just returned from my first-time excursion to the Nashville Market where it was very exciting to see so many designers and suppliers and distributors in our industry. It's so fun to see all the new needlework pieces and products!
After all the preparation for Nashville, I thought for sure I would come home and not want to look at my computer and printer for at least a little while...but, here I am delving into some new designs that have been brewing in my head!
Anyway, we've put up some pictures of the hotel and our decorated room below .
As always, please send me any ideas or comments you may have. I'd love to hear from you all.
Happy Stitching!

Hello all!
Please check out my three newest designs! I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed designing them! I hope all is well and people are enjoying the start of a new school year or are simply having a good third quarter!
As always, please send me any ideas or comments you may have. I'd love to hear from you all.
Happy Stitching!

I have returned from the big Charlotte show! It was such a great experience! Between being able to put faces with the names of other designers that we all know so well and finding new fast-friends and displaying and taking orders, I had a great time. I look forward to future shows and seeing even more turnout and support for our industry.
Now I am back and busy preparing for the next releases (sometime soon, I'll let you know!) and trying to stitch samples as fast as I can. I have no sample-stitch-helpers right now, so that does make things go a bit slower! If you are interested in helping, please contact me/email me.
All for this go around!
As always, please send me any ideas or comments you may have. I'd love to hear from you all.
Happy Stitching!

We're about to head to the big show where we hope to see a big turnout of excited people!
New goodies will abound once I return from Charlotte so stay tuned, campers and hope you're having a great summer!

I love the green things budding all around me this spring. We have had a bit too much rain for my taste, but it does make everything really beautiful and green!
Under the Specialty Stitches and Hardanger section, I have placed my newest sampler - Love and Friendship. Check it out!
I'm preparing to go to Charlotte, NC for the biggest trade show for our industry, NATS, in July. It will be so exciting!
When I return I will be putting up a brand new section on the site - Freebies!! So, here is your official teaser and announcement of that happening!
Happy Stitching!

New! New!
I know you all like that word - new!
I do have two new patterns available - you can see them on the Hardanger &
Specialty Stitches page!
One is a lovely whitework pillow and the other is my spin on a traditional alphabet sampler - without the alphabet per se; only the vowels are involved on this one!
Enjoy!

Hello from northern Virginia! The Air Force moved my husband and I here this past December and now we are all settled in for the next few years. We're really enjoying the area so far; there's so much to see and do here in our nations capital.
However, I have kept up on my stitching and I will be releasing a couple new patterns shortly - a traditional white on white square sampler and what I'm calling the "vowel sampler." Both have many specialty stitches and intricate drawn work, hardanger and pulled work as well. Fun stuff!
As always, please send me any ideas or comments you may have. I'd love to hear from you all.
Happy Stitching!

Check out the three new patterns that have just been released!! Feel free to preview them in the design catalog.
I will be moving soon, as the military is sending us to a new location! I will check in again shortly after we arrive at our new location!
As always, please send me any email ideas or comments you may have. I'd love to hear from you all.
Happy Stitching!

I'm hard at work on three new patterns which I will be releasing this fall. Feel free to preview the first of these, a traditional chatelaine, in the hardanger section of the design catalog. Also coming are a holiday-themed hardanger piece, and a sampler called Primaries! Look forward to these patterns being available in October.
I'm continuing to make changes to the website to make it better. Please send me any suggestions you may have to make the site more useful. I'd love to hear from you all. As always, Happy Stitching!

I'm back after some medical issues that put a dent in my stitching time the past few months! I've added a few new patterns since last fall. I've reworked the layout of the design catalog and I'm promising more fun stuff to come soon!

During the weekend of the 19th through the 21st of October, I will be debuting my trunk show in Ingram, Texas at the Lazy Hills Guest Ranch. Following these dates, the trunk show will be available to be seen at Thread Peddler's Cottage in San Antonio, Texas.
