"Lace" Preview


Hi Friends!

Here is my newest pattern!! It will be released this September, I will let you know when Hoffman has it in hand. I still have a bit of finishing work to do with it, but the stitching is done. This worke is the first installment in a series of Stitches to Go patterns. The goal is to have designs that the stitcher can easily take with them and work on during "waiting" down time, i.e. the orthodontist's office. In fact, the model was stitched mostly during wait times during my son's recent surgery. Stitched over one on Zweigart Cashel Linen, the pattern creates a delicate lace, intertwined with "ribbons." I am also creating some fun Christmas ornaments with the design. More photos to follow in the coming days as I do the finishing work and come up with a name for it.

Best,
Beth
