A Merry Ho Ho Ho to all of
you!!!!!!!
I hope the holiday season is absolutely fantastic for you and
families and friends and all of your shop customers.
It's
Christmas Time is
Poppy's new pattern with a new specialty frame painted in two
different styles and colors. Stoney Creek designed the cute
dimensional Santa button. I really like this button and they
do such a great job.
Fibers other than DMC are Cherry Wine by Gentle Arts, Cocoa and
Monkey Grass by WDW and 421 #4 braid from Kreinik. The fabric
is 36 ct. Cream Edinburgh courtesy of Norden Crafts. They are
quick to stitch.
Can you believe 2012 is almost here (I can't), and I have already
been thinking about designs for next year, I plan to stitch
away the winter.
I have very much appreciated all of your business in 2011….and
hope you have a prosperous 2012.
Keep on Stitching,
Joan

Hi everyone,
Our next new pattern is Gingerbread
Quickies, which has two"quick and easy" gingerbread
patterns.
As a child, I always loved making gingerbread men cookies with
my mother, but I didn't want anyone to eat them and I wanted
to keep them for myself. My grandmother, one year at Christmas,
made me a gingerbread-stuffed little girl and I really wish I
knew what happened to it now and as I was so thrilled with it.
Gingerbread Noel is stitched on 32 ct. overdyed Crystal Jade
courtesy of Picture This Plus over two threads and uses DMC,
Magnolia Blossom and Grasshopper from Crescent and from Sampler
Threads, Baked Clay, School House Red and Cherry Wine and has
two tiny red jingle bells as embellishments.
All is Merry and Bright is stitched on 28 ct. Lambswool courtesy
of Wichelt Imports, using DMC and WDW Bright Leaf. I used 11
red and 9 green approximately 1/4 - to 1/2 buttons and a little
ribbon tied in a knot for the bow. I cut the ends of the ribbon
at an angle.
Each of the patterns have specialty frames.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and eat
a lot, take a nap and then stitch through the football games.
Keep on Stitching,
Joan

Hi Everyone,
We're back again with I
Love Christmas, etc. It has two pattern. I Love Christmas
is stitched on 30 ct. Brown Linen courtesy of Wichelt Imports
with two strands of floss over two threads. For fibers, it uses
DMC, Cherry Wine and Midnight in GAST, Monkey Grass, Bright Leaf
and Swiss Chocolate in WDW and also #4 braid 002HL from Kreinik.
Buttons are from JABC.
It's little sidekick,
I Believe, is stitched on 32 count Water
Lily Jobelan and uses DMC and Threadworx 01085 for the border
and finished into a little cube. The Santa Face button is from
Stoney Creek but the number on the pattern is wrong. Stoney Creek
gave me the wrong number for the Santa face button and I didn't
find out until one shop ordered the buttons and it was wrong.
So if you order the button, be sure and tell Stoney Creek that
you need the right button number. I am so sorry about that, but
I really like their dimensional buttons. Their button designer
used to work for Honey Creek Buttons when they were in business
and when she moved to Michigan, Stoney Creek was fortunate to
hire her. I loved Honey Bee buttons but not their service.
We are delighted with the sales of our seasonal patterns this
year and want to thank you for ordering them.
We have a couple more Christmas patterns to come if I get a move
on and get them out.
As always, we do appreciate your business and friendship….
and Keep on Stitching,
Joan

Hi Everyone,
Since the Christmas stitching season is coming, we will be releasing
several Christmas patterns in the near future. We have already
released Away in a Manger
and thank you for the great response to it; now we are releasing
Christmas Ornaments II.
There is an ornament for a Teacher, an ornament for Man's Best
Friend, which you can personalize, a cool Yule Penguin, a little
Mouse holding a tree sitting on top of an ornament, and a cute
little Gingerbread stocking, with his face in the middle of the
stocking, words on the cuff say "Be Merry"; it uses
red beads for the embellishments.
Fibers that are used are DMC, Crescent Colours of Grasshopper,
Magnolia Blossom, Barrel Cactus and Ladybug. GAST colors are
School House Red, Buckeye Scarlet and Goldleaf.; Hunter and Pecan
are Weeks Dye Works and we used Kreinik #3203 in #4 braid and
2013 in Mill Hill Beads.
The models are stitched on Babbling Brook 28ct.Jobelan, 25 ct.
Opalescent Luguana, Water Cress, Ivory Jobelan and Country Mocha
Belfast.
Fall is my favorite season of the year and with all the tremendous
heat we had this summer, I am ready for Chili, cornbread, pumpkin
bars and apple cider, but will have to wait until it gets a little
cooler.
As always, thanks for
your business and friendship….. and keep on stitching!

Hi everyone…..
Our thoughts were with all of you shops that are in the Hurricane Irene area , knowing that your homes were probably involved also, and hope everything is okay. I was pretty much glued to CNN the entire weekendand said a lot of prayers for everyone.
Poppy Kreations has a new pattern Away in a Manger that is fairly quick to stitch as it is a one color design. I used DMC 3750 for the model on 32 count Antique White Jobelan, but any color could be used. It is amazing how fast things stitch when you don't have to change colors.
I grew up loving Christmas Carols and our church youth group always had a soup supper in December for our senior citizens at church and I played the piano and our youth group sang the Christmas Carols at the end of the evening.
Other Christmas patterns will be out in the next month or so and can you believe how fast summer has gone? I am ready for fall though and cooler weather.
Thanks for your business and friendship.
Keep on stitching, Joan

Hello everyone
The Season of the Witch
is getting closer and that is the name of our new pattern. It
has a cute dimensional black witch button designed by Stoney
Creek, which I really like and the item number is SB-435. It
is stitched on 28 count Terra Cotta Linen courtesy of Wichelt
Imports #76.504 and is stitched with Black Coffee by Crescent
Colours. The specialty frame really enhances the stitchery. This
is our last new Halloween pattern for 2011.
The heat has been unbearable this summer so I have stayed inside
and stitched, stitched and stitched some more. The only plus
about this weather is that my tomato plants have never produced
so many tomatoes. I have been keeping my friends and neighbors
with plenty of tomatoes.
Next to be released will
be Poppy Kreations Christmas patterns beginning with Away In
A Manger which is kind of a companion piece to Silent Night Holy
Night and O Little Town of Bethlehem and they are still selling
very well. We have several others as well.
We do appreciate your friendship and your business so
Keep on Stitchingand keep those customers stimulated.
