Introducing My Upcoming Club Series, Merry & Bright!

Merry & Bright starts this Fall, exclusively at Fancy Stitches!  This club series features stitch guides by Martha Johnson, who has my sort of taste when it comes to bright colors, sparkle and bling! Pictured below is one of the 5 designs in the series.  This set is available in two color versions, brights and a more traditional red and green version.






The same design in red and green!



This series starts this Fall at Fancy Stitches, give them a call if you are interested! 817 641 4761

Fly Away Home!

Some cute finishes today, and a couple of them have been in the works for a long time!  Not these Cardinals, though, these were stitched by Linda C., one of the quick stitchers in this year's  Falling Star Club, and they are already finished and at home!


Love that dimensional star shape finish!

Next up are pieces from another club series, the last two Hoot Owls stitched by my friend Judy G.  These will join the other 4 already at home and will complete the set!  Congrats to Judy, they look great!!


These 3 Pumpkins and Candy Corns from my Crazy Patch club series are the first of 9 stitched by Rebecca S., and she still has 6 at the finisher to look forward to!  I can't wait to see them either, especially if they look as good as these!


Great work everyone and thanks for sharing!!
