Catching up...

It has been a crazy fall and holiday season and 2013 has started off with a bang!  I contracted the nasty version of flu right after Christmas and have had a time shaking it off.  But I am on the mend and I am now trying to get ready for the Nashville market.  Unfortunately, as a result of this setback, I have only one design finished as of now rather than the three I had planned.  I still have hopes of finishing the model of the second design but we will see.

My large design is another in the series to accompany Spanish Flair and French Elegance.  But this time I have wandered away from the red and black to a luscious green and gold and have added touches of a few other colors for accents.  Can you guess the theme for this one?  I can't tell you more right now but I hope you will like it.  Stay tuned for more updates!

Now for more news!   I am starting a new series.  It is a series of tiles taken from quilts and floor tiles from centuries past.  This will be a grouping of  six (or more) designs all the same size and using the same color palette. They have a stitch count of 150w x 150h and no specialty stitches are used.  The colors can easily be changed to suit your tastes. They would be lovely stitched as one piece and made into a wall hanging or quilt but also will look great framed and hung as a grouping--or alone.  I am really excited about these designs and hope you will like them as well.  If I can get the model finished the first one will be released in Nashville.  But since that is not looking promising at the moment, I will probably release it in April.  I am still debating whether to release them one at a time every other month or to release two at the same time.  Any opinions?

Keep watching.  I will keep you updated here.  Thanks for your support.  Until next time...
