You can almost smell the fragrant orange blossoms on this design! Using a unique palette of soft orange and lavender, this verse from Nehemiah is displayed both boldly and gently. The blooms are dancing joyfully around the words, paired with the citrus fruits for a special color balance.
This design is one of 12 in the Feathered Friends Collaboration. 12 designers created a birdhouse-inspired design for each month of the year. As you can see, mine is for March! I was so thrilled to include a little robin surrounded by some pretty dogwoods (one of my favorite flowers, for sure).

Inspired by a watercolor painting of pink roses, I had to try to recreate the look in cross stitch. With the help of sweetly variegated floss colors, I hope I achieved something close! My absolute favorite color combo is teal, peachy pink, and soft light gold with pops of white. And this precious... Read more

Note from the designer: I really wanted to showcase all sorts of new life with this piece, and it was such fun to work on all the animals! I also divided it (loosely) into 4 habitats, so with a little bit of finagling (each band contains some element that extends past the top into the next one) you... Read more
Note from the designer: This was inspired by the traditional sampler motif of the "berry bowl" but I've filled my basket with birds and eggs! The bowl itself is more like a woven nest, to continue the theme (and give stitchers a chance to play with variegated floss).

After WWII, a major reconstruction took place in the destroyed Rotterdam. As a child I lived in such a neighborhood in the late 1950s.

I learned last year, thanks to my pattern 324, that there are indeed plenty of stitchers who will stitch a design with a lot (to put it mildly) of different color threads. So, why not go to the next level? I am excited to share with you 365: A Year in Stitches. Each of the 365 circles in this design... Read more
Amish quilts have always fascinated me - I am quite taken with their simplistic beauty, their stunning use of solid color fabrics, and their history. In 2024, I was fortunate to see an exhibit of such quilts at a museum. There was an amazing Broken Star quilt right at the entrance that just drew me... Read more
Irises are one of my favorite flowers. As I lean towards purples and blues in general, perhaps this is not a surprise. So, it was high time that I designed a cross stitch pattern featuring this flower. An extra bonus that I recently learned: irises are the state flower of Tennessee. How perfect then... Read more
My lace design series are all patterns that have been inspired by old pieces of lace. A number of stitchers have shared with me their wish for a design in this series that would be a little smaller than many of the others, and so the idea for Lovely Lace was born.
Sometimes referred to as the "Queen of the Night," night-blooming cereus is a type of cactus that only blooms at dusk, sometimes for only a single night. A perfect flower for a Night Garden themed design! This is my contribution to the collaboration of 20 designers all using the same four... Read more
I enjoy doing color experiments in my designs and this pattern is the result of one. Using the highly variegated Weeks Dye Works Bethlehem with one coordinating DMC for each circle, it is so fun to see how a solid color brings out the different shades that make up the variegated thread.
I have always loved spring in the South. But there is something special about a Pink Dogwood in spring with its gorgeous blush of pink and green as it begins leafing out. My inspiration for this original sampler was a stately, southern home between twin pink dogwoods. What better way to picture... Read more
I loved roaming the woods and exploring shapes and designs in nature as a child, and still do today. There is a symmetry and balance within nature when one starts looking. I played with shape and color to create a piece that is both restful and exploratory at the same time, kind of like a walk in... Read more
