WINTER WONDERLAND
We have once again partnered with Crescent Colours to bring you a new line of thread packs (our first in silk!).  Each thread pack comes with the chart and enough silk to stitch the design on 28 count linen or 14 count aida, and measures 47 stitches wide by 89 stitches high.  If you plan to stitch the entire collection on one piece of fabric, the finished stitch count will be 239 wide by 89 high.  Our model was stitched on 28 count Light Examplar Linen from Lakeside Linens and the frame is from Crescent Colours' line The Family Tree.


Winter Wonderland
The first in the series is Frosty Blue House (pictured at right), in a frame from The Family Tree.  The other packs will be released monthly.

SWEET TREATS


Stitchers:  We have been made aware of a stitch being off "by one" in the upper and lower border of the Sweet Treats design.  There is a simple solution.  Simply center the cluster of leaves and berries directly over the individual treat.  You will need to do this to Cupcake and Tart.  Then shorten the upper right and lower right outermost vine by one stitch.

Just remember to keep three stitches in between your blocks and it will all line up.

However!  If you have begun the project and don't mind stitching it the way we did, simply keep going.  The cover model has the extra stitch and it was never noticed!
