Inspiration by Rosewood Manor

This 30 page design was inspired from a beautiful quilt made by Janet Locey of San Juan Bautista, CA.  Janet found a photo of a circa 1800 quilt and was inspired to make on of her own.  This chart was name Inspiration because the original design inspired many quilters and stitchers.  "Inspiration" is a wonderful pattern to stitch as an heirloom piece for many generations to enjoy.

 

Raise the Roof "Crabby July - September"

The Crabby series gives you a somewhat demented (but hilarious) alternative to the regular "happy" monthly series'.  These charts are stitched on 32 ct Vintage Pearled Barley by Lakeside Linens and they can be stitched separately or all together for one big fabulous year sampler.

 

Christmas Elf Easter Fairy Halloween Fairy New Year's Valentine's
Mirabilia "Thanksgiving Fairy"
Limited Edition kit

This fairy is the last in Mirabilia's limited edition Holiday Fairy series.  Stitched with autumn colors and accented with traditional Thanksgiving colors, this fairy ends the series with beauty and grace as she stands holding her basket of fruits.

Passione Ricamo "Queen of the Fairies"

You really don't have to ask why this fairy has been named "Queen of the Fairies".  Her magnificent dress, beautiful wings, and gorgeous crown says it all. "Queen of the Fairies" can be stitched on 30 ct Terracotta Linen by Passione Ricamo or 28 ct Jobelan "Fallen Leaves" or "Chestnut" by Polstitches and uses DMC floss, Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid, and Mill Hill beads.

 

Prairie Schooler Limited Edition
2007 "Let It Snow" kit

It's difficult not to get that winter feeling when you're stitching Prairie Schooler's 2007 Christmas kit.  Santa holding his bag of toys and a Christmas tree, children sledding, and a snowman in the front lawn.

If you're in the mood to stitch a summer chart, "Garden Pleasures" by Little House Needleworks is the perfect one with lots of beautiful colors by Crescent Colours, flowers, bees, and, of course, a gardener.  This Tuscan inspired design by Little House Needleworks is great for anyone who loves to cook.  "Gourmet Garden" is stitched with DMC threads. All you need is Fabric, a Needle, and Thread.  That's what Little House's new "Necessities Sampler" tells us.  Stitched with DMC floss, this sampler will be a wonderful addition to the sampler lovers collection.
