The Stitchers' Village Sampler Project

Be sure to join in The Stitchers' Village Sampler Project by stitching a section and having it become part of the sampler. The sections have just started to arrive and are being posted to the web page. Click on each of the thumbnail images of the sections for information about who/what/where each piece originates!

New Counted Canvas Designs

My newest designs are all counted canvas as I have been having great fun with all of the stitches and the challenge of learning new stitches and techniques. With the adoption of the management of The Stitchers' Village a little over a year ago, I have not had the time to devote to designing thay I would like. So, the inspiration of some new stitches was motivation. Here are two that are finalized - Welcome and Recycle
A third - Conserve - is nearly done (sneak peek below). These three are 5x7" on 18 count canvas and use 3 colors of thread and the fourth, Flower Basket is off to the framer. It uses 5 colors and is 4x12" on 18 count.
