I truly enjoyed designing my next release, coming out this week.. the name is probably my favorite part, which was suggested to me by my dear friend Katrina (who keeps me in a steady supply of sampler names.. other than Olga, she's named all of the "Russian friends" I've designed. What can I say? She charms me, and I can't say no!). I have, however, included an alphabet chart for your own name, if you decide you'd like to stitch it.
Rindy Richards stitched the model to perfection for me. I can't thank you enough, Rindy! Your stitching is so beautiful, and I appreciate everything you've done to help me get these patterns out in a decent time frame. đŸ™‚
Here are the materials you'll need for Eliza:
Fabric: 36 ct. Vintage Pecan Butter by Lakeside Linens
Threads: Needlepoint Inc. silks in 998, 622, 725, 903, 963, 344, 346, 695, 767, 985, 973, 127, and 992. Or, if you'd prefer to use DMC, the threads you'll need are 310, 352, 355, 435, 646, 730, 830, 832, 975, 3023, 3781, 3858, and Ecru.
Miss Rindy is currently working on a Christmas sampler for me called Farmstead Christmas, which will be out some time in December. And if I can get myself in gear, I may have a second December release. Only time will tell if I can get it stitched up quickly enough, but if not, then be on the lookout for it in January. It's more of a winter-themed piece than a Christmas one. (Unless I make more changes to it.) (Which I tend to do.) (But maybe I won't this time.)
When I survey this work of mine,
I'm filled with joy and dread.
May Christ my life with His entwine
before my days' last thread.
I hope you all are having a beautiful fall season, filled with your favorite stitching projects. See you soon!
ETA: The stitch count for this sampler is 317 x 137. And yes, Diane, the verse is a "Paulette original." LOL – that made me laugh!

This will so be mine – as soon as I can get it in my greedy little hands! I love the birdies too and the squirrel! Is the house black? I hope so – as I dislike stitching light colored houses – LOL! Can’t wait to see the other new designs!

This is great…love the verse and the design too. You seem to be ‘branching out’ a little with this one (just a little different style this time!) A little bit of tradition with a ‘plum street’ twist!
Can’t wait to do this one. It’s on my Christmas ‘must-have’ list!
