Twelve Days Sampler and Ornaments

On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me..."

Celebrate the song we all know as 12 Days of Christmas! There are actually thirteen distinct motifs in this design which lends itself to being finished as a long bellpull although you can also frame it of course! All motifs plus the Hardanger Heart can be made into various shaped ornaments to decorate a special tree at Christmas. The words are usually sung as a carol. However, some have suggested that it is a poem of Christian instruction dating to the 16th century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic teachings of the Faith. Many of the symbols of Christianity were not originally religious, including even the present date of Christmas, but were appropriated by Christians from the culture at the time a way to worship and proclame their beliefs secretly. Now, when you hear what you once thought was a secular song, you will also be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas! Enjoy stitching this favorite carol.. ! :) - Thea

Butterfly Garden Sampler!

Stitched with all silk threads, on antique white linen, this sampler was a joy to design from start to finish!

It has old fashioned roses climbing over the roof and is surrounded by herbs and flowers.

Where Stitchers Gather...

STITCHERS POCKET, SCISSORS FOB,
SCISSORS CASE AND NEEDLEBOOK

The "Where Stitchers Gather� Needlepocket conveys that sense of loving cameraderie that steals over us as we stitch together, whether in person, or online. We truly are drawn together in friendship as we stitch! It is stitched on raw linen cashel to suggest the antique needlework �~smalls� reminiscent of earlier times. I really enjoyed including all the different elements of our stitching retreats, including a table of stitchers, two swans in honour of the "Society of Women Addicted to Needlework", and two wee frogs to keep those pesky stitching errors at bay! There are 14 different specialty stitches that make up each of the pink flower motifs within the bands.

Count Your Blessings...

Count your life by smiles not tears...
Count your age by friends not years...â

Includes a beautiful and useful Stitcher's Etui, a Pinkeep, Scissors Case and Fob. This luscious set of âSmallsâ is so beautiful, dainty and elegant! The main Etui is constructed from a very long length of linen which is folded several times to create two pockets. We bound our model with gorgeous blue and taupe quilt fabric. Inside youâll find an elegant pincushion tufted with beads, and a verse of gratitude enhanced by colouful flowers and fancy stitches. The matching Pinkeep, Scissors Case and Fob will fit neatly in the pockets, along with your flosses, scissors, needles and pins. The floral vines climb all over the inside of the Etui and amidst the vines are flowers made of various different specialty stitches, lots of fun to learn as you work through the pattern. There are Buillion knots, Lazy Daisies, Eyelets galore! Iâve also bordered an optional Hardanger Heart with Blanket Stitches so you can cut it out easily. We then appliqued the Heart to the front flap of the Etui. This special touch adds to the beauty of the piece when the Etui is closed. The fabric used was found in a local quilt shop, and we're sure you'll find something equally beautiful that will suit your taste. With all the various colours in this design, you have many matching fabric colours to choose from. You will be proud to use this elegant set at your next guild meeting or stitcherâs gathering!
