No orange was used anywhere in the piece! The top of the sampler... Read more
This is the second in the seasons pincushion series, and I think my favorite part about this chart is the Bible verse: Proverbs 31:21 - "She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet." I think that is just the loveliest verse!

Note from the designer: I had so much fun with this design! The bubbles coming up out of the cauldron were fun to see when I got the model back from the stitcher - I don't always know if my ideas will work or not! This one is a little companion piece to my other mini moons.
This was a fun Thanskgiving-inspired piece to design, as it combined a little patriotism and the reminder to be grateful for our country and God's blessings on her. The verse reads "I give to this beloved land my grateful heart and willing hand."
The verse refers back to God's mercy on Adam and Eve as they were evicted from the Garden of Eden.. they would now have to till the ground for their food, but nevertheless God's grace would be with them. And that is quite evident when fall's bounty is upon us!

I've had numerous requests for ducks in the "Stack Series," so I decided to give mallards a try. And let me tell you, these little beauties are incredibly hard to duplicate in such a tiny space with needle and thread! I could not believe how many different patterns there are on a single...
