Now that summer has arrived
in all its glory, it is great to see so many designers bringing out new and
exciting ideas for the season.
From Plum Street Samplers, a
beautiful antique sampler titled “Esther Syer.”
Paulette explains that no model was stitched for this antique as she
felt the colors and motifs have survived beautifully, despite the sampler being
218 years old.
Two new months from The
Cricket Collection – “May” incorporates birdhouses, pelican, beautiful spring
flowers and maypole dancers while “June” features flowers, strawberries and
darling buttons. What a great
collection.
Stacey Nash Primitives has a
wonderful new offering. “Houses of
Berry’s Chapel Road…Miss Baxter’s House” includes Miss Baxter in front of her
colonial home watching her flock of chickens and a rooster. Super design!
“Old McDonald’s Farm,” an outstanding
farm with barn, farmhouse, tractor and a collection of animals, is another
wonderful design from The Victoria Sampler.
Gorgeous colors!
We have a number of great
patriotic designs to share, as well.
“Patriotic Poppies” from Country Stitches has the cutest lamb with a
bunting cover pulling a wagon filled with poppies.
“Uncle Sam Crow Needle Case and Scissor Fob,”
from Homespun Elegance, is exactly that with patriotic crow, wagon and
blackbird.
“In Full Glory,” Blackbird
Designs’ new offering shows a large red colonial home with an eagle atop and a
large waving flag.
Sweet Land from
Needlework Press is a beautifully done freedom reminder.
Another lovely Plum Street
newbie is “Pink House Sampler.”
Centerpiece of this sampler is a large pink house with large green lawn
sprinkled with pink flowers and a detailed floral border. This is a special project for sampler lovers.
The Trunk Show from The
Heart’s Content is still in our shop and we are offering 10% off all Trunk Show
purchases until July 15th.
Come see these beautiful models.
Here is a preview of things
coming early next week: Little House has
Old Glory, Robin’s Song, and the July Calendar Girl.
At The Beach, by Hands On Design, will make
you wish you were there. Heartstring
Samplery’s Sweet Land of Liberty is a sweet, small patriotic offering. Can’t wait to see what other summer designs
are headed our way.
Happy Summer Stitching!
