If you love the Colorful  series and you love anything whimsical, these are for you!  I think my favorite is the pink one!  

Worked in DMC threads along with some Kreinik metallics the design can be worked on 14 count Aida or 28 count Lugana.

2021 Calendars

This year, I have two 2021 calendars.  The first is my annual Crazy Quilt Calendar featuring 13 high quality photos of crazy quilt projects that I did awhile back:

It's a beautiful calendar filled with eye candy and inspiration for anyone who enjoys all things pretty!

The 2nd calendar is my 1st annual Cross Stitch Calendar, this one featuring 12 cross stitch Biscornu patterns, one suitable for each month of the year.

 

Each pattern is 50 stitches square and the calendar booklet includes Biscornu finishing directions.

The designs are perfect not only for Biscornu pincushions but also for ornaments.

The full size calendar pages feature all US and Canadian holidays as well as the season changes.

Both are available now.

Copyright Issues on Etsy

Just thought I'd mention something that was being discussed on an embroidery group that I follow over on Facebook.

If you find any patterns on Etsy that you feel violate copyrights, please contact Etsy. Etsy does not tolerate copyright infringement issues and will close down any shop that violates their terms.

 

There aren't any problems with my designs that I'm aware of at the moment, but there are people using the work of other artists and photographers. They use "auto conversion" software and then sell the computer generated chart as their own work cheating the artists and photographers out of possible income or royalties. 

 

The people who do this seem to think that artists have endless funds to pay attorneys to fight for their copyrights. That's a big time misconception!! Anyone who's had to pay an attorney for anything knows how expensive those services are.

 

The best thing to do is to contact Etsy about it and let them handle it.
