Needlepoint Star Heirloom Wedding Sampler and Pincushion

Friday, June 17th, 2011

I had an itch to make another needlepoint pincushion. I was sitting looking at the wedding sampler I made for Dean and I (our 8th wedding anniversary is coming up in July-yahoo!) and the corner star motif jumped out at me as the perfect top for a wide flat pincushion. Here is the sampler – I am also making this sampler available in my Etsy shop for the first time made to order:

This sampler still makes me happy just to look at:

Here is the pincushion – available here in my Etsy shop:

The patterns I used in both projects are from this amazing book of charted patterns from my favorite publisher Dover Needlework:

Charted Peasant Designs from Saxon Transylvania

Whenever I need a boost, I pull out this book and drool over all of the amazing patterns from days of old when this type of needlework was done to spice up otherwise plain homemade clothing and home decor. Simply breathtaking!

Water Lilies and Snowdrops – Needlepoint and Pottery

Friday, May 13th, 2011

I have been working several flower designs in needlepoint and pottery. There is some kind of wonderful fascination in working the same design over and over again, especially in different mediums.

Snowdrops is a design inspired by a recent request by a local gal who is interested in my artwork as a tattoo. I am so honored that someone would want to adorn their body with my artwork, can’t wait to see what her tattoo artists comes up with!

We made these as a prototype for a blown glass custom order and I thought they would make lovely bells adorned with crochet flowers. This one is a Christmas gift for Gram, sending a little Texas sunshine up to her in Minnesota.

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

This is my latest needlepoint cuff bracelet design, my iron fritzed out on me yesterday so I have been delayed on the finishing part. I hated that iron any way, so next week when I get back from LA I will start foraging for a new one.

The colors for this design were inspired by a custom order I am finishing for one of my Etsy customers – I love custom orders because they inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and tap into new ideas! So, keep them coming folks.

This would look incredible as a pillow…maybe when work settles back down I will go for it.
