Recently re-worked model for our specialty stitch Blue Poppy Learning Sampler SAL.	Here is the original which has hung on my living room wall since 1982.

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 Only Gift

The Only Gift

American philosopher, poet and essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) offered this thoughtful statement in his Essay, “Gifts”.  This seemingly simple statement is in fact, a statement of great insight and depth of meaning.  A gift of oneself is the most beautiful and precious of all offerings.

  Size 231x187, full crosses and straight stitch.   Purchase information
