I love the classic Christmas characters and colors in this piece. The squares can be stitched as one piece as shown or as three separate pieces. I am stitching it as one piece, using the suggested Classic Colorworks and DMC floss, on Lambswool 16 count Aida from Wichelt.
Pansy Patch Manor is a four part series - one for each season of the year. I will be stitching this one with a combination of Classic Colorworks, Weeks Dye Works, Gentle Art, and DMC floss. I haven't picked my fabric yet, but am thinking of Mushroom Lugana from Zweigart.
This is a smaller pieces, finishing a little over a 4-1/2” square when stitched on 28 count fabric. I am using DMC floss and Mushroom 28 count Lugana by Zweigart.
I started Frida, a tribute to Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, for Hispanic Heritage Month. The bright colors in the piece are a nice change from my typical stitching. I am using DMC floss and 14 count Jobelan Aida from Wichelt.
I started this design a while ago and then it got set aside and buried in my pile of WIPs. I was able to add the patterns to my shop this week so I decided to pull it out and start working on it again. There are three patterns in the series and each one has two square designs. I am stitching all six squares on one piece.
There are two designs included in this pattern. I only stitched one. This has been a popular pattern. And there is now a companion pattern in my shop: Purple Pumpkin Pin Keeps.
I love how the red, pinks, and mauve blended in this piece. I loved stitching this piece. It was stitched with a combination of Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works Floss.
I really enjoyed stitching this sampler. I had a hard time putting it down. It is stitched with DMC and DMC Variations floss. I am planning on having this one professionally framed.

Sew Blessed by October House Fiber Arts
I love everything about this one! I'm using floss from Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye works and am in love with the colors! The variegation of hand-dyed floss add so much dimension to the thread spools. I'm stitching on fabric from Fiber on a Whim which is so soft. I love the texture of it.
Gather with Joy by The Blue Flower
I started this one a couple of weeks ago. I thought I could do a few stitches on this sampler and then put it away until I finished one or two current WIPs. 😂 But then I fell in love with it and I can’t put it down! I'm stitching on the same Fiber on a Whim aida with DMC floss. The house is stitched with DMC Color Variations. It's the first time I used it and I am impressed! I'll be stocking up on more colors so I have it on hand to make substitutions.
Purple Pumpkin Patch by ScissorTail Designs
I tried resisting this one because I don't usually stitch anything for Halloween. But, how could I resist those purple pumpkins and black crows? I'll be using DMC floss and 14 count Aida from Wichelt.
Doodle: Autumn by Heart in Hand
In addition to the adorable autumn motifs, this Heart in Hand design has two tiny buttons, which are included with the pattern. I can't wait to add this one to my fall decor.
Frida by Barbara Ana Designs is a tribute to the Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. It is an older pattern that I recently added to the shop. I chose to add it to my line up because my 5 year old niece recognizes her in pictures and paintings. I hope she'll be excited when this is done and displayed in her house!
Pumpkin Patch by Primrose Cottage Stitches
This was a fun stitch that actually came together pretty quickly. I love pretty much any design with a vintage truck in it, and the pumpkins and scarecrow make me love it even more! I'm hoping to find a frame to finish this one.
October Sampler of the Month by Country Cottage Needleworks
I haven't been stitching this entire series this year, but plan on doing all of them over a couple years. They are easy and quick stitches that feature darling motifs in a band sampler style.
