A New Year Bright With Promise

As we welcome the new year, I am taking a look back at the last 365 days...2011 was a good year for Blue Ribbon Designs - a year of triumphs, challenges, and rewards. Thank you for making my success in 2011 possible and for your support, encouragement, and loyalty - there are many talented designers and teachers out there...and a vast amount of needlework patterns to choose from - I sincerely thank you for welcoming my designs into your stitching rotation and allowing my dream to be a reality. I truly love the needlework industry and I hope you will continue to receive my designs with open arms and share in my passion for all things done with needle and thread. As we jump into 2012, I have many goals and a good amount of projects in the works - a pile of design ideas, multiple classes across the US, and exciting plans for the future. Thank you for following me on my creative journey...

Here is a little treat for your New Year's Day - a tiny peek at my upcoming design "Redwork Garden"...I have been busy working on this new piece, which is a companion to "Quilted Garden" - I have plans to release it at the Nashville Needlework Market in February. At this time, I can tell you it is stitched on Lakeside Linens (Chantilly Creme) with three colors of Gentle Art Sampler Threads. I am hoping to have it finished up in the next week or so...and then off to my framer. Look for more information/details and photos in the coming month...

Thank you kindly for visiting/following my blog - I hope to keep you excited and inspired throughout 2012! Here's hoping your new year is bright with promise, filled with hope, and blessed with happiness and joy!
