Country Garden Stitchery

  Another fabric for my Farmer's Market collection and it's called Sweet Cherry with deep red cherries on a golden yellow watercolor check background.  Cheerful fabric!    My latest set of patterns called "Four Jacks" for Halloween.  They are whimsical jack-o-lanterns with leaves, spiders and corner cobwebs for the autumn season and Halloween.  Love Halloween!    I've been working on some landscape paintings.  Trying to do one each day to work with colors and techniques.  I really like painting the desert landscape.  Hope you have a good weekend!  

  My latest Spoonflower fabric sample called Garden Flowers and Bees drawn in black ink with watercolor.  A nice bright botanical style fabric.   I've been retaking photos of some of my designs to see what I can come up with.  This one is one of my first designs called Autumn Tidbits .  It comes with another little pattern of sunflowers.  A nice set for autumn.  You can click on the highlighted link to see the pattern in my Artfire shop .         This is the Swan House at the Atlanta History Museum.  I loved the staircase and the large flowing fountains in the front of the house.  It looked like a mansion to me, but they called it a house there.  I loved touring the rooms.  The maid had a very nice room upstairs, which I thought was interesting she got to live upstairs.  Rather than the upstairs/downstairs arrangement some of them have.      The bathroom/...

  I finished my kitchen herb embroidery patterns over the Labor Day weekend and made a set of mug rugs out of them.  They're a fun quick project that look nice in the kitchen.  I like growing herbs in my garden.  They aren't fussy and when I go out to weed I brush up against the plants and they smell so nice.  You can find the pattern in my shop links along the sidebar or click here for my Artfire shop          The latest release in my shipment of Spoonflower fabrics is my Rainbow Dots Fabric that has colorful dots painted in watercolor.  Would be cute for children's items, clothing or room décor items!      I wanted to share a few more photos from Atlanta.  These are from the High Museum of Art and they were my absolute favorite of the whole museum.      I took photos of most of the marble statues.  Such glorious, fine work.  I read where sc...
