Trying Again


I think it's time I give up on trying to post my last post, which I've tried to post several times since I originally wrote it over a week ago.  I'll start fresh with a new post!

First, a reminder.  The design below is called Black Heart and I designed it for the Stitcher's Stash Stitching Retreat in mid-April.  I will not be releasing this design until later this summer, but you can purchase the chart, fabric and silk thread from Jackie at the Stitcher's Stash if you'd rather not wait.  Her kit price is quite a bargain and a big savings over purchasing the chart, fabric and silk separately.  You can reach Jackie at  theStash@verizon.net or by phone at 703-218-3131.


Secondly, I chose another fabric winner!  I put all the names in a bowl, stirred them up and chose one.  The winner is........Margaret Chess!  Margaret, if you could please email me at kathybarrick@gmail.com, I would appreciate it.  Another winner will be chosen this week, so please don't give up hope!

Thirdly, I finally made some jewelry this weekend.  Yay!  It felt great to sit at my bench and work away!  I'll be loading them onto my jewelry Etsy page today.  Here are a few sneak peeks:







Lastly, I'm working on new sampler designs!  A second Adam & Eve sampler is stitched, framed and ready to go.  I'm stitching a Noah's Ark Sampler, Sweet Stitcher Beth is working away on a large sampler and Princess Lightning Needles (Carol Sims) is stitching a small house sampler.  Won't be long!!

Have a great Monday!
