Stars Over Pines

Today I give thanks...

I want to start by thanking all of my blog followers; thank you keeping up with my blog, your comments, your support, and your encouraging words! Although I don't leave comments for all of you, I want you to know, I do keep up with your blog posts and find so much enjoyment reading about your projects and creativity. Over the last month, I see I have quite a few new followers - WELCOME - I am so thrilled you found my blog. I am contemplating a giveaway once I pass the 200 followers mark...so stay tuned for more information once I achieve this milestone...

I also want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who supports Blue Ribbon Designs! I can't believe I have been at this (designing counted thread) for almost seven years...and I am getting close to releasing my 100th design. I feel extremely blessed to have a career in the needlework industry...and I hope my designs keep you excited enough to keep me around for many years to come.

So, to show my appreciation to all my wonderful/creative/unique needlework fans, followers, and friends, I have posted a new complimentary chart on my website...and you are hearing about it here first! It is titled "Stars Over Pines" (seen below) and is a winter holiday piece (it complements "Acorns and Owls" and "Bluebirds and Daisies"). To obtain a copy of this new complimentary pattern, simply visit my website: http://www.blueribbondesigns.com/ and click on "Freebie" in the left-hand menu - you will see a photo of this new design at the top of the webpage - click on the statement "CLICK HERE FOR CHART" (directly under the photo) - a new window will open containing the design in PDF form (you will need Adobe Reader to view/print the chart). Please remember, this design is protected by copyright law - thank you for respecting my copyright. I hope you enjoy this special design - my gift to you for your continued support, friendship, and encouragement...and if you haven't stitched any of my designs before, I hope this chart will entice you to purchase some of the larger designs in my catalog from your favorite needlework shop...

Thank you for bringing me joy - your support means the world to me...

  9. What a beautiful design "Stars Over Pines" is. I love your work and have several in progress. Believe it or not, the first BRD I bought was "Initially Yours" I don't have it done yet...I work on it for awhile and then put it aside - hmm, I'll have to pull that out again. Keep up the creativity!
