Abby Rose Designs...In the August/September Issue of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher Magazine

If you haven't yet subscribed to this wonderful new magazine, you are missing out!  The photos are beautiful and projects are perfect for those who love the primitive style. 

I was asked by the creator, Deb Jochim, a couple of months ago if I would like to submit a design and I wholeheartedly said, yes!  This is the first time I have submitted to a magazine so it was a joy to create my design.  Can't show you yet...but I have subscribed to the magazine myself so I know Issue 2 will be worth the wait.

L'il Abby's

Good Morning Everyone!
I just had to show you the "L'il Abby's stitched as one large piece!

Isn't is beautiful?  My friend Faye, the Carolina Stitcher, stitched this up as I was designing each piece!  Thank you Faye...what a great job you did!

L'il Abby's are sold individually but can be stitched all together or individually.  Chart one has the diagram to stitch them together.

Working on my new kit for the Nashville Market in February.  And I will be releasing one more Christmas design before the end of the year.

I hope you have a great day!

Happy Fall..Y'all

Happy Fall Everyone!
It has been awhile since I last posted!  The final L'il Abby "Wisdom" has been completed and will be released on Friday.  This has been so much fun and I thank all of you have been busy stitching them.

L'il Abby "Wisdom"

I also had them all stitched as one and will have a photo for you soon.  It is at the framer and will be ready next week.  If you remember, #1 "Love" had the instructions and charting to turn them into a one piece design.

I had three designs at the St. Charles Market this summer and happy to say they all did well!  My kit sold out very quickly...as it had a very limited number.  I was just getting my feet wet...my first kit and not sure how many would sell.  So I am so sorry that some of you were unable to get it but I have seen a few still around at the online needlework stores and my local needlework store, Judy's Stitchery Nook in Harlingen, Texas still has a few.

To Thine Own Self...Be True  Kit

 

Bless This House is similar to Home Is Where You Hang Your Needlework, if you like those designs.  I also designed a small pillow to be used for a Christmas decoration.  I like to put stitched pieces in wooden bowls and sit them around the house.  I have a lot of framed designs and started designing more smaller pieces to use this way.

Merry Christmas To Thee ....2013 Design

Another two Christmas Designs coming soon!  Thank you for all the e-mails.  I try to answer everyone...but sometimes it takes me awhile so please be patient.  I will answer!

Have a great Fall!

Where did summer go?

 Thank you to my friend Faye, who has done the finishing on several of my L'il Abby's and a couple of other designs too, for the picture walk of the L'il Abby's she has stitched for me.  So beautiful!  carolinastitcher.blogspot.com  Take a peek!

Next up! The needlework market is coming up very quickly and I have put together a Limited Edition Pin Pillow kit.  It is very limited.... so if you want one, let your needlework store know to pick one up for you.  They can only get it if they attend....and get to Norden's booth fast!  This is my first kit so this was kind of a test kit...I had a great time making them but realized that it takes a lot of time to hand dye fabric, distress ribbons, make stick pins!  Oh well, it was well worth it if you enjoy what you are doing!  I am sort of a perfectionist....I have a hard time leaving well enough alone.  I had to iron all the fabric, linen and back fabric, display the items in the package, just so......I'm sure some of you out there know what I mean.  I can drive myself crazy over the most simple things!

Where did this summer go?  It was HOT here so I'm not totally sad to see it pass quickly.  Our winter's are usually in the 60 or 70's...my kind of weather!  It will be here before you know it! 
Hope you are having a great week and stitching as much as you can!
