Blueladie Designs First Newsletter!

Blueladie Designs Newsletter Vol. 1 Issue 1.
February 8, 2010


Dear Stitchers,

Here it is February and the Counted Wishes Festival was a success! If you didn’t visit, you missed a lot of fun. If you were there, I sincerely hope you enjoyed it and participated in the fun. There were a lot of mystery packages, games, a class and prizes galore.

If you missed it and are having stitcher’s regret, don’t worry you will have another chance in August. More details later.

As you can see I have decided to create a newsletter for the Blueladie Designs followers. I hope you will benefit from it and enjoy it.

Part 2 of the Mystery Sampler is now up and available for SAL followers to stitch and enjoy. If you have any pictures, please send them to me at blueladie@hotmail.com. I would be happy to post them on the Mystery Sampler page for all to see your stitching!

If you haven’t noticed, there are new designs on the “New” page. This year I will be releasing the 12 Days of Christmas in my own special version. There is a bargain if you choose to subscribe to the auto-mailer of these designs. You will also find information regarding the auto-mailer on the “New” page. As always, you save money by purchasing my PDF charts. There are no printing charges, postage charges, handling fees, etc. You also have the instant gratification of receiving your chart immediately instead of waiting on and harassing the poor postman! LOL!

I have also added a Valentine on the “New” page for those of you who are interested.

This first newsletter is free (no subscription required). If you would like to subscribe (if you aren’t a member of the Blueladie Designs Yahoo Group-who receive it), please send your name and email addy to blueladie@hotmail.com with Newsletter in the subject line. There is no charge for the newsletter.

Here is a freebie chart for hanging in there and reading this far. Happy Stitching!

My Stitching Update

Hi all,
Here's what I've been working on:

This is my monthly SanMan Original jar. These are going to be lovely and I am doing them on one piece of fabric. They are very small ... maybe 1.5 x 1.5 inches?
I'm in love with this right now. I wasn't able to afford the brand new version of Sea To Shining Sea by Little House Needleworks. When I was shopping around for a "used" chart, a woman sold me hers when she saw that I was trying to buy another stitcher's sale and failed. I had NO IDEA I would be getting the threads. OH MY... I am in love with stitching with silk. It FEELS so wonderful. These pictures don't do it justice, but it is coming along beautifully!


Thanks for stopping by,
:)

This is Fa La La by Little House Needleworks. Just finished this. It looks much better in person and I love it. It's the first in a series of ornaments for 2010.

Thanks for stopping by,

When DH brought in the mail today, I opened this mid size brown envelope from Pam B. with a puzzled look on my face and out came the most beautiful ornament and scissors fob. It took my breath away. I REALLY loved it! You are so sweet to do this and I can see what a wonderful seamstress you are! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I LOVE surprises and this certainly was a wonderful one!


















Iris also surprised me. I heard her saying she was crocheting potholders and dishcloths and I was waiting to see a pic (as I am such a visual person). Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be one of the LUCKY recipients of such a thoughtful gift!!! :D



















Thank you for stopping by and sharing my Christmas surprises!

God Bless
