Chicken Towels Coming Soon

I visited Tina’s chicken coop and snapped a few photos of her tiny new chicks and the “older girls” now in their fancy chicken home. The little peeps are cozy in their box with a warming light overhead. Some of the little yellow chicks will become a nice terra cotta and others will be white with black on their wings. The 2 little black chicks (one is hiding in the back) will be black and gray like the big girls out in the coop.

The big sisters are now exploring their back yard. They are not quite sure about hopping out the door and down the chicken walk but will get better as they grow. Cute to watch them scratch the dirt to discover some yummy goodie!

Here a Chick – There A Chick……a preview photo of one of the five tea towel designs on our “The Hen Delivers” pattern to be introduced on our web site and in the Newsletter next Friday. Fun to stitch in several colors of #8 Perle cotton or pick one color and stitch as RedWork. All 5 designs will work on any of the super tea towels we have. Watch for it!

9TeaTowels

We now have 9 beautiful stripe colors on a creamy background for our very useful cotton tea towels. I mentioned above, all the chicken designs will stitch up great on any of the 5 towels shown on the pattern photo…Terra Cotta, Red, Gold, Sage Green and Chocolate Stripes. New colors are Chocolate and Terra Cotta. Nice they are so useful as well as pretty! Get ready to stitch.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day. Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel. He only took a couple of hours one night to complete. A hint for you to speed your embroidery. Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design. You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color. This little cutie would make a great ornament too. Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way. FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel. The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin. Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem. The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice de...

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning. I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird! When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time! Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design. Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
