Designer spotlight... And an offering~

Greetings friends~


What a glorious Thanksgiving we shared with family & friends.... It's hard to believe that it's behind us and Christmas is approaching.....

With that being said, I'd like to share a finished stitch of mine by a somewhat new-found designer ( for me, at least...) Jenny Hoffman of Country Rustic Primitives has some lovely PDF designs and you know me when it comes to that country colonial feel...

Country Rustic Primitives
...nestled in my pie safe, glowing my candlelight...

Country Rustic Primitives
I added vintage seam tape, rusty jingle bells and a few of my favorite homespuns.... Stitched on 25 ct Vintage Country Mocha Lugana using the specified DMCs.... This was a very nice stitch and her finishing & aging directions are simple and complete... Great design Jenny!!

*******************************************************************

Rarely will I sew extras when I'm doing finishes.... But, I did make a few extra large project pouches earlier in the week....They make wonderful practical gifts and is something every stitcher or crafter could use... Please email me lriggsbee@nc.rr.com if you are interested....

Carolina Stitcher project pouches
....... 20.00 ea plus mailing( these are spoken for, but I'm taking orders..)

I'll sign off for now.... Wishing all of you a great weekend, safe travels and warm memories~

Kindly,

Faye
