Sneak Preview
I am getting ready for the Fall Needlework Market in St. Charles, MO, next week. Here’s a sneak preview of the new designs that will be available to shops there:
This is a set of three ornaments. The ornaments are four squares made up of a single motif; the sides are then folded in and stitched together to make a three-dimensional ornament. Easy finishing!
Origami Ornaments
Here is proof of my Celtic kick that started this spring. This tree goes with the Celtic Biscornu, but shows the whole tree.
Celtic Tree
This design has been in my head for a long time and evolved a bit over that time. I love how it came out though. The design uses two layers of blackwork to provide shading effects. It is also kind of a yin-yang design. Since I used an overdyed silk, I stitched this using a backstitching technique rather than traditional blackwork techniques.
Cuddly Cats
If you like them, please request them from your favorite needlework shop!

I love the oak tree biscornu that you have – it’s different from other biscornue’s I’ve seen! Very intriging!

I just took a peek at your new designs. I love most all of them! My favorite right now is the Shared Cache! I’ve got a tropical theme going in my bedroom, it’s my escape and I have to stitch that someday for myself. Everything I’ve stitched, I’ve given away. That chart is a MUST do!

I like your dragons. I don’t usually stitch them, but, I really like the one in the green in the square frame. But my favorite design is the Balloonist’s Prayer. I love the colors and the scripting frame around the balloon. Very relaxing, but the colors are still exciting. Nice work. Thank you for sharing your talents with those of us who do not have the ability to create, only recreate!

My favorite design from the Needlework Show — well I really like the Origami Ornaments and Cuddly Cats. If I have to pick just one then it would be the Origami Ornaments

I just looked at your designs at The Needlework Show. I love your Origami Ornaments. They are mu favorites. Although I am not quite sure why they are Origami rather than just 3D Ornaments. OK, so this later name just doesn’t sound as good, but do you have to do some special folding to make them?
Cheers,
E

I checked our your designs at the needlework show. These are great but I really love the Dragon welcomes sign.
Keep up the great work.
