Lavender and Lace Issue
Posted by Julie at 6:47 pm in Cross Stitch Blog

The Cross Stitch Industry is dealing with a temporary problem getting Told in a Garden, Lavender and Lace and Butternut Road cross stitch products like patterns and Needlepaints floss.  Aparently Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum is moving back to Ohio, and while she is in that process she is not shipping any products.  The rumor is that she will be back in business some time in March.

Unfortunatly, like many designers, she has no information what so ever on her website about what is going on, so those of us who sell their products retail have to try to dig up information on what the problem is.  It has always been my policy to keep my customers as informed as possible.  That is what I would want if I were the customer.

I have most of the Lavender and Lace patterns, and the Needlepaints floss in stock, but I will run out of some soon.  I will let customers know personally if their is any kind of wait for products.

Please be patient with us during this issue.

Thank you,

Julie

HTML clipboard Caron Collection floss is a  new addition to Julie’s X Stitch.  It is a hand dyed floss that is variegated.  The Waterlilies line is used in many of the Mirabilia patterns. A twelve-ply hand-dyed variegated silk. It gives a subtle sheen when stitched and has particularly good light reflection qualities. Use a single ply for very fine work or as many plies as necessary to suit stitch and ground fabric. Many of the colors match Watercolours and Wildflowers, but because the silk fibers take the dye differently, they may be more subdued.

New from Heaven and Earth Designs
Posted by Julie at 2:17 pm in Cross Stitch Blog

Daisy Offering

Heaven and Earth Designs was created by Michele Sayetta and her husband Bob.  They previously owned a hand dyed fabric shop, but decided to switch to cross stitch patterns.  They chart the artwork of many talented designers into counted cross stitch designs.  Their designs are not computer generated.  They graph each image using engineering software  Their designs are very intricate.  They suggest you stitch them on 25 count Lugana or Dublin over one to preserve the detail.  Their designs have a “fantasy” feel to them.  Some of my favorite designs by Heaven and Earth are  “Queen of Hearts” , “Spirit of Winter” , and “Cinderella’s Ball”.
