Harvest Sampler... New Release!

The first of my Market Releases for the Fall, I give you my "Harvest Sampler"...

Inspired by crisp air, wild turkeys, log cabins, pine forests, Autumn Leaves-colored floss, a Thankful Heart, and a sweet quote from an old sampler.

I love almost everything about Autumn, including gathering wood and waiting out rain storms. This sampler is a little nod to my favorite season, with a gentle reminder to be ever Thankful for the blessings that have been provided.

Speaking of blessings, I could have never finished this sampler in time for a Summer market release without the Swift Needle and Generous Heart of Charity Watral, who stepped in at the last minute and finished the model in record time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Stitch Count: 193 x 103
Model stitched on Weeks Dye Works 40ct. Putty

Using flosses from The Gentle Art: 0350 Mulberry, 0410 Tarnished Gold, 7000 Harvest Basket, 7073 Autumn Leaves, 7079 Heirloom Gold

And flosses from Weeks Dye Works: 1268 Molasses, 2202 Bullfrog, 2219 Whiskey

The frame is a thrift store find.

This chart is now available for purchase in my etsy shop or directly through me via email, and may also be found in a needlework shop near you.

Thanksgiving in July

If I thought finding Christmas ornaments in July was hard, its only because I had yet to try finding Autumnal-looking foliage.

I was saved by an Elderberry bush and a shocked-by-heat grapevine.

Shop owners will be able to purchase my 2011 "Harvest Sampler" at the TNNA show in Baltimore on August 13th. I will be making it available in my etsy shop for direct purchase soon after.
