Newest Sampler Has Arrived-With a Summer Giveaway!

The newest sampler, Summer Lines, has arrived along with the heat in Brooklyn.  Get your printed version today, and settle in next to the nearest air conditioner to work on it!  They are available in limited supply at the shop, as well as a (very limited) supply of the Knotted Stitches Samplers left over from Squam. I'd love to mail you one, even though the post office is not air-conditioned.....
This example was hand stitched this spring by my generous mother (you may remember her from thread organizing fame) while she and my dad toured across the country by train on their way to the Grand Canyon.  I wish I could have been on that trip, but I'm so grateful that she could stitch this up- amidst the final push of getting my work ready for the show at Packer Schopf and all the preparations for Squam I was pretty slammed last month.  Thanks, Mom! 
In honor of the beginning of summer, I'm hosting a giveaway for this newest sampler.  To be entered to win, leave a note in the comments about where you're planning on taking your embroidery this summer.   Shakespeare in the park?  The Jersey Shore?  Fire Island?  Mackinaw Island? (I wish!) If you had a sampler, where would you embroider it?  Leave me a note and I'll pick a winner by lunchtime (EST) on Friday (June 10) .  Good luck!

    For the past several summers I've told myself that I would spend sunny summer days stitching in parks near my house. Last year I only parked in my front yard a handful of times. So I'm hoping to finally stitch in the sun. If I were to win this, I promise to get myself to a public park with a big ol' blanket and get to work.

    I'm planning on taking my stitching with me to Brown County, Indiana. Plan to spend some time contemplating the fact that I'm about to turn 50!!!!

    I'm taking my stitching, knitting and quilting to Sisters, Oregon. There will be lots of inspiration at the Sisters Quilt show, among other things.
    Thanks.

    No big vacation planned this year... but I've been known to stitch in my air conditioned car during my lunch breaks!

    It's winter here, and I haven't been embroidering much lately. I plan to finish some embroidered jewellery projects this winter that have been abandoned for some time and put them in my Etsy shop.

    I love to embroider on our deck - overlooking the Pacific Ocean! But before you get too 'green' with envy - I will be sitting out there in a sweatshirt!! Winter, Summer and Fall - all need a sweatshirt. Spring needs a raincoat!!

    Planning on taking my stitching along with me for a couple weeks, while I spend time with my beautiful grandchildren! Love all of your samplers!
