If you are looking for a new "springy" cross stitch project, check out the latest issue of Just CrossStitch magazine (March/April 2011) where you will find an exclusive Blue Ribbon Designs project! This cheerful, springtime design is titled "Berries, Birds, and Blooms". It is mainly Cross Stitch...but does have Smyrna Cross Stitch and Back Stitch....making it a fun, quick stitch. The model was worked on 32-count Chantilly Creme from Lakeside Linens with Weeks Dye Works cotton floss (DMC conversions are provided). This magazine is currently arriving in mailboxes, at needlework shops, and on newsstands...so keep an eye out if you are interested in stitching this sunny new release.Today is the opening of the TNNA Nashville Needlework Market; a wholesale trade show for industry professionals.
I have two new designs being released today "Turn The Page" and "Holiday Helpings". "Holiday Helpings" marks the release of my 100th design (not including teaching or magazine pieces)...can you believe it?!...so, to celebrate, I am working on details for a new giveaway! Be sure to check back in the next day or two, when I will have all the information posted...there will also be a fun, new complimentary chart available for March (think St. Patrick's Day)...and be sure to look for my new releases at your favorite needlework shop starting next week...I hope you are enjoying beautiful weather in your location this weekend (it is still nice and sunny here). I will definitely be doing some model stitching and finishing, along with bagging/packaging more charts - but I do plan to take a little time off today to have a nice evening out with my husband...and Simba will definitely be enjoying his walk to the park. Take a little time to savor the sunshine...
I've been sick all week, but I will be running out to pick up the new Just Cross Stitch...I love your new pattern! I think working on it will make these last few weeks of winter fly! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new pattern. My issue of JCS will arrive here in Canada a little later than yours but I'll be waiting and watching!
ReplyDeleteWill certainly check out the magazine racks when I'm at Joann's this week. Hopefully it will be there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100th design!
That's a beautiful one! It is a hard magazine to find over here in the UK. xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Belinda! Your new design is beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend; glad you are feeling better! All three new designs are terrific! I was wondering if Holiday Helpings was #100! Congratulations on reaching that milestone!
ReplyDeleteLove the new design and Congratulations on reaching 100.
ReplyDeleteNow all I need to do is try and track down a copy of JCS on this side of the pond!
Wow! I saw that one and it's on my list to stitch (well, not on my blog yet) in the future!! Congrats on getting in the publication!!
ReplyDeleteI received my JCS today and your Berries, Birds and Blooms is my very favorite. Because I read your blog, I felt like someone I knew had this great accomplishment by being featured in the magazine! Woohoo!
