I have always been a fan of Weeks Dye Works...not only do they have quality hand dyed products for stitchers, quilters, knitters, crocheters, and crafters - they also have fabulous, consistent, and colorfast fibers! Did you know that Weeks Dye Works is the first hand over-dye company to be certified a “Green Company” by American Textile Specialties?...or that all their dyes are organic and environmentally safe and made in America? These are just a few reasons I adore their floss, linen, wool fabric, pearl cottons and sewing thread; so when they asked me for a free chart they could post on their website, I just had to design something new and special...So, stop by the Weeks Dye Works website and explore...check out their products....read about their dyeing process...view an extensive list of designers that use their fabric and fibers....and the check out the "Free Designer Charts" (hold your cursor over "Designers" in the top menu) to get your own copy of the new complimentary chart ("Little Blue Bungalow") that I designed especially for them! You will have to scroll down, as they listed my design at the very bottom of the page...you will need Adobe Reader to open/print the chart....and as always, this design is protected by copyright law - thank you for respecting my copyright. You will also find free charts from some other favorite designers - Cherrywood Design Studios, SamSarah Design Studio, and Just Another Button Company!
This fun little design definitely brought some springtime cheer into my household - I enjoyed working on the design and making it into a floral pillow. The model is stitched on 35-count WDW Angel Hair Linen with seven colors of WDW cotton floss...including two of the great new colors just released at the Nashville Needlework Market (Capri and Charlotte's Pink).
I hope you enjoy this special new complimentary design - another gift to you for your continued support, friendship, and encouragement - thank you for allowing me to "pursue my passion"...and if you need a new project, I hope this chart will entice you to visit your favorite needlework shop and purchase some of the larger designs in the Blue Ribbon Designs catalog!
Beautiful piece, B. I love WDW too!
ReplyDeleteOff to download your chart! Little Blue Bungalow is another winning design! And I hope you continue to "pursue your passion" for many more years to come!

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling design and a how nice to know about WDW being certified green and using natural dyes and so forth. I'm using their linens more and more as they are becoming more readily available. Glad you love designing because I sure love stitching your creations ! Thanks for the little blue bungalow - it's darling ! Melody
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this wonderful design!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congrats on this achievement!!! I will surely be saving a copy and stitching it in the future.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the WDW lesson. I had no idea they were certified "Green". I do love the colors of their floss, so maybe it's one I will stick with for some time to come.
Sweet design, Belinda! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteVery cute design! I didn't know about WDW being "green", either... thanks for an informative post :)
