Coming soon to your local needlework shop . . . Liberty Lane, Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue.



*
LIBERTY LANE*

A cheery row of red, white, and blue houses, aptly named Liberty Lane of course!  The design was stitched on Zweigart's 28 count Light Mocha Linen and uses DMC as well as Sampler Threads' Liberty and Rhubarb.  The custom pillow is available from Trail Creek Farm.  The back of the pillow is finished in the same blue check that you can see on the buttons.



*LITTLE BO PEEP*

One of the first in our new Nursery Rhyme Collection, Little Bo Peep portrays a sweet little scene of our Bo Peep and her beloved sheep (even the naughty one who is hiding behind the tree!).  The design was stitched with DMC and Weeks Dye Works' Scuppernong and Kudzu.  The fabric used was Zweigart's 28 count Natural Pearl Linen and the frame is from Crescent Colours' line The Family Tree.



*LITTLE BOY BLUE*

Also from our Nursery Rhyme Collection, comes Little Boy Blue.  The design was stitched on Zweigart's 28 count Natural Pearl Linen and finished in a frame from Crescent Colours' line The Family Tree.  DMC threads were used as well as Dandelion Stem and Blue Moon from Crescent Colours and Straw and Kudzu from Weeks Dye Works.



*GARDEN OF SNOW*

Snowflakes dangle from tree branches, sprout forth from leaves, and grow like flowers.  It is indeed a garden of snow.  The design was stitched on Zweigart's 28 count Natural Linen and uses DMC threads, as well as Crescent Colours' Poblano Pepper and Sampler Threads' Maple Syrup and Old Blue Paint.  The frame is from Crescent Colours' line The Family Tree.

 
*HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING*

This piece finds our little angels ready to sing about the joy of the season.  Stitched on 28 count Examplar Linen from Lakeside Linens and finished in a frame from Crescent Colours line, The Family Tree, the design uses DMC threads as well as Crescent Colours' Antique Lace, Brown Sugar, and Peanut Brittle and Weeks Dye Works' Aztec Red.




*SUGAR PLUM FAIRY*

Continuing in our love for all things "Nutcracker" comes Sugar Plum Fairy.  Once again, inspired by my little ballerina, Juliet, who dreams of dancing as this fairy someday.  The design is stitched entirely in DMC threads on Lakeside Linen's 28 count Lentil Linen.  The cube was finished by Vonna at
