Final Reveal for the 2019 Nashville Needlework Market!

The final reveal for Market! These two will be available to Market attendees and released to all In May.

"Never Tell Sampler" was stitched on Weeks Dye Works 36 ct. Beige using The Gentle Art threads: Endive & Garden Gate; Weeks Dye Works threads: Blue Jeans & Palomino.The quote was shared with me by my friend and fellow stitcher Janet . . . too cute! It was shared with her by a, now deceased, shop owner.

"Tea And The Bee" is a 7 1/2" wooden box purchased at JoAnns. Design was stitched on Picture This Plus 36 ct Sand (32 ct. will fit also) using WDW threads: Kohl & Bee's Knees. Mill Hill glass seed beads 02019 were stitched as "jewels" in the crown.

Now . . . must go back to printing, folding and stuffiing!

More Nashville Needlework Market Reveals!

Let's continue with the Market reveals . . . sorry for the delay . . . framing wasn't quite ready.

 Available to shops at Market as early releases (formal release will be in April) are "Cherished Friends" (the framed one) and "Feathered Friends" (the 4 1/2" box).

"Cherished Friends" is stitched on Newcastle 40 ct. Natural using The Gentle Art threads: Summer Meadow; Freedom; Dungarees; and Green With Envy. My friend Kathie received this quote from a friend of hers and thought it would make a nice cross-stitch piece . . . I think she's right!

"Feathered Friends" is stitched on Picture This Plus 32 ct. Barnwood using Weeks Dye Works Bashful. The box is actually a painted and Briwaxed brie cheese box . . . yes, from the grocery store! I love these little boxes . . . and brie cheese! I strung 4mm faux pearl beads and glued the strand around the stitched piece to "frame" it. Painted the inside lavender and glued some scrapbook paper in the bottom.

Stay tuned for one more reveal of the last two pieces. Should I do it tomorrow or make you wait until Friday . . . hmmm.

Nashville Needlework Market 2019 Reveals

Wow! Where have I been??? Sorry . . . it was not a boring year . . . just busy I guess. I'll get you caught up later . . . but now:

It's almost time for the Nashville Needlework Market! I have 6 new designs to offer at this year's Market. The first two I'll show you will be released to Market participants and will be available to all shops at the close of Market.

First up is "How Great Thou Art". It's always been my favorite Hymn and thought it might be a good reminder of God's greatness in this crazy world we live in. It's stitched on 40 ct. Picture This Plus - Mello (other counts are available) using GA Endive, WDW Plum & WDW Curry threads. It's framed by my wonderful framer and friend Terri at "Carriage House" in Kingsport, TN.

Next is "There's No Place Like Hope" also stitched on 40 ct. PTP - Mello using WDW Brick, GA Grecian Gold, GA Endive & WDW Palomino threads. This one is this year's "Ripple Effect Pattern" in which I donate the profits to the American Cancer Society in my fellow stitcher Meg Ripple's memory.

Can't wait to show you the rest of them this week!  Stay tuned! ! !
