New Release: Cat In A Cozy Green Sweater

 


Cat In A Cozy Green Sweater is online today... This little cutie goes along with the March Cat from the Cat Tales Collection. The pattern design stitch count is 53 x 53, so it is a square design, and it's not huge. It looks cute framed, but would also make a really nifty little decorative pillow like the one I made with Cat In A Cozy Blue Sweater

Working on a pattern with crows right now (no, there are no cats in it)... I really like this new crow design coming up. It has 2 extra little charts to stitch along with it...

Two new patterns have been released... O Sing Unto The Lord (Pattern 2009-E), which is Psalm 96:1, and the same verse in Spanish, Cantad Á Jehová (Pattern 2009-S). We are getting ready for spring with the bird and birdhouse theme... and those heart-shaped musical notes are so cute!
*The instructions for the Spanish verse are in English; only the verse in the design is in Spanish.

New Release: Spring Crow and Strawberry

 


If you don't like the weather, stick around for a day... Tuesday we had about 10" of snow. Yesterday, we had rain. Today it's sunny and is supposed to go up to 57 degrees...  what a weather roller coaster!  :-)

But I'm thankful for today's sunshine. It's pretty on the snow-covered ground. We still have about 3" that hasn't melted yet.

The Spring Crow and Strawberry is out today, with this beautiful spring-like weather we're having today... this is the fourth of the seasonal crows... Summer Crow and Watermelon, Autumn Crow and Pumpkin, and Winter Crow and Apple. I haven't chosen my favorite yet...

New Release: Heart Alphabet Cat

 


The Heart Alphabet Cat is the next Cat in the Cat Tales Collection... This cat is surrounded by the alphabet and a scattering of hearts. It's a cute little alphabet sampler that's stitched in shades of pink and green.

New Release: Strawberry Patch

 


New Release Pattern: Strawberry Patch (Pattern # 1069)

This new pattern, Strawberry Patch, makes me think of the little strawberry patch in the back yard of the house I grew up in. It was way in the back of the yard by the woods, honeysuckle vines, and daffodil garden. Oh, and a few huge persimmon trees. When I showed the design to my mom, she also said it made her think of that little strawberry patch... 🍓

It's a square pattern that uses only whole cross stitches. The design stitch count is 115w v 115h.


Almost Here... Strawberry Cat
