As some of you may know, I recently stitched my first ever model piece. What's even more exciting was that it was a design by one of my FAVORITE designers, Kathy Barrick!
Well, she will be releasing her new charts (seven of them!!) in a week or so. The model I stitched was for "Crowned Heart" and you can see several sneak peeks of her upcoming releases at this link:

The sampler I stitched has snippets at number 5, 6, and 11 in the row of pics posted on the above blog.
+++ Kathy recently posted a pic of the entire model! You can check out "Crowned Heart" at this link to her blog: http://kathybarrick.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-sneak-peek.html
I'm super excited to have something I've stitched used as Kathy's model -- but I'm even more excited about her other releases which I haven't seen or stitched yet! :-) Her sister will also be releasing Spring at Hawk Run Hollow in March. Can't wait!
Kevn, as soon as the sampler is released please send me a link, how exciting.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I love looking at the teaser pix. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Kevin!!!! And, welcome to the Scarlet Letter challenge.... I love the sampler you have chosen..... You will find the world of blogging friends to be so supportive..... Faye
ReplyDeleteKathy is the best to stitch for with the added benefits of awesome samplers that you look forward to stitching! Great job on the crowned heart it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI saw the peeks of the model you stitched for Kathy. So pretty! I'd love to stitch for Kathy some day. I was fascinated by your story about your friend and the Van Derveer Sampler. So cool! It must be wonderful to be able to trace one's family history back to a wonderful sampler. I have no such luck with my ancestry.
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYou left a comment my blog, Corgi Cottage, but you are on no-reply and I couldn't respond via e-mail. I'm not any good at any 'planned' rotation schedule. I will work on a piece until I tire of it and then will move onto something else. It's the only way I've found that keeps me motivated to return to my stitching nest every day. You'll figure out what works best for you.
I look forward to the new release by Kathy Barrick, I love her designs...thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your model stitching.
Hi Kevin, so nice to see you have set up a blog for your stitchings! Love the model work you did here and I look forward to seeing your progress in the Scarlet Letter challenge. Welcome to blog land!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to stitch a model for Kathy. She is a great designer and I can't wait to see more if what she is releasing... It is exciting to have her back designing, isn't it? Welcome to blog land :-)
