Well, as much as I enjoy creating Christmas designs for Grandma Kringle's Christmas In Stitches, I felt I needed a bit more variety and perhaps an escape from winter weather in general. And, I really had a longing to return to my passion for primitives, samplers, and folk art. Thus begins, Sweet Liberty Threadworks! I hope to focus not only on cross stitch designs but also needle punch, wool applique, and eventually rug hooking (I just need several more hours in a day!).
Today, I'm pleased to offer you my first cross stitch design for Spring...and let's hope Spring is just around the corner! Spring Blessings is stitched on 28 ct Vintage Pear linen using a variety of specialty and DMC threads. I also incorporated the petite stitches using one strand of floss over one thread. For the trim I chose to use an ivory chenille to give it a bit of a "fuzzy" appeal. I had originally planned to spray the finished piece with a bit of walnut stain but in the end opted not to. This pattern is now available for purchase here on my blog and I hope you'll enjoy stitching this as much as I did...and may it bring you assurance for blue skies and sunshine in the coming weeks ahead!
Happy Stitching~
