New Release - Adam's Menagerie

I've completed stitching Adam's Menagerie!  Size is 198x200 stitches.
This  menagerie of little creatures will make you smile as you stitch.  The critters include a hedgehog, an ostrich, a red squirrel, quail, a pair of chameleons, even a hidden leopard!  
Adam's Menagerie will be a delightful design to stitch on upcoming winter evenings. The Genesis verse 2:19 tells the story of how Adam named the newly created animals and bird in the Garden of Eden.  
Wouldn't one of these little animals look cute stitched on a pocket or the edge of a collar?

The model was stitched with DMC on the Wichelt Beach Walk  32 ct linen. #65282 - similar to  524 DMC light grey green. As in all my charts, this one includes instructions for specialty stitches which are petite stitch and Algerian eye.

This design is available in shops and on my Etsy shop

FIRST LIGHT - Pending Release 3-25-11

First Light -  
size 109x109 was designed as a  companion piece to our much larger  “Creation”. The model is worked with 1  strand of floss over 1 thread of 28 count light khaki Jobelan.  


Stitch types are full, half, Algerian Eye, a single Border Flower, and fan stitches which are created with simple straight lines.  It is charted in DMC for easy translation into the floss of your choice. 

First Light is ideal for cross stitch or needlepoint and over 1 thread of fabric, it becomes a true miniature - ornament size.   The design has instructions for stitching over 2, which allows more detail to be worked into the lettering.  If you are working this over 1 thread of fabric, ignore the fractional stitches – they are not needed and the alphabet will be just as lovely. A full alphabet is included for personalizing your work.  First Light would be a meaningful Easter gift, with very special symbolism.  This design in PDF is available for immediate download  Etsy.com-TemptingTangles

The Creation Sampler-

Creation - size 286 x 240 

This amazing piece was stitched on 26 count raw linen by the designer and then almost a year later, painstakingly charted from the finished work.  Creation stirs both imagination and emotions with its swirling palette of storm cloud and sunrise colors.

This inspiring work evokes the wondrous drama of the words in Genesis, stitch painting the introduction to the  Biblical story of Creation

There are several specialty stitches in this piece with excellent illustrations and instructions to aid the stitcher in recreating them.  Charted in DMC.
