Hurt Not the Earth – Plum Street Samplers

Ann and Pat and Tanya and I are thrilled to have so many of you sign up for the Colonial Gathering club! We are really looking forward to what this year brings, and I hope you like the first release for the year, called Hurt Not the Earth.

For those who signed up (at the Dyeing to Stitch website), you'll be receiving your kits in your mailbox shortly – the first round has been sent, and they're moving on to the next ASAP! Each kit includes the chart, linen, needle, threads, trim, and backing fabric so that you can create this little Colonial cushion, inspired by John and Abigail Adams.

In just a couple more months you'll receive Tanya's release, and I'm so excited about it! She's given me a little hint, and I can't wait to see what she's come up with. As you know, our theme this year is based on things we love and imagine about Colonial life, and it just so happens that I love exactly what Tanya has chosen to be her inspiration. (She's such a fun friend and club partner!)

Again, if you'd like to join the Colonial Gathering club for 2015, we'd love to have you!

Such a wonderful way to start the new year of Colonial Gatherings; I absolutely love it!! I read the book on John Adams’ life, so it thrills me that it reflects that. The letters between John and his wife are so beautiful; just loved reading them in the book. I am so excited about Colonial Gatherings this year; last year was totally fun. I am glad that the two of you are enjoying designing for our group as well. Hope you have as much fun as we do stitching the projects and waiting for them to arrive. Happy stitching!
