LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

Hello my dear girles, how is your summer? Mine is soooo cold, can you believe I have to heat???? Brrrrrr.... anyway the 'lovely' temperatures force me to stay at home and I spend my time designing. 

I'm really overwhelmed. The Halloween Mystery SAL had a huge success and I'm really late with the fabric orders... plus I still have to present a lot of things: my patriotic patterns, the Country Salmpler pattern, a new freebie and tons and tons of fobs, pendants, bookmarks, needlebooks... I must post daily to do everything! Please forgive my delays....

Let me start with my patriotic patterns... I designed the 5th queen of the needles, an 'americana' version to celebrate july th... Do you love her? I love her soo much!

Second pattern... A lil and super fast pattern to commemorate an important victory for humanity: freedom from slavery. An historical and primitive pattern I particularly love... maybe one of the most prim pattern I've ever designed...

Super special thanks to Miss Betty because she stitched this one in an evening and she also finished it and took pictures... Thanks sweetheart, luv uuuu

AND NOW SOME IMPORTANT UPDATES:

* I received few emails about the contest. The contest is finished and I posted winners and pics on my FB group, so please check there, thanks :)

** Country Sampler finishings: I received few requests about finishing instructions for the pattern designed in exclusive for The Prim Club of Country Sampler. I'm not good enough to write finishing instructions, but I hope you'll find this note helpfull, I'll post pictures of the pattern in few days:

Stitch the pattern according to the graph using 2 threads of floss.
Then sew an additional piece of fabric on the top the stitched piece, in order to can fold it in two (we'll call this piece A)
Cut another piece of fabric as long as piece A (we'll call this piece B). Put right side A with right side B together and sew leaving a small opened piece in order to turn fabric.
Turn inside out and sew the opened piece with slip stitch. Press and fold it. Now you can add a small pocket sewing a piece of fabric using slip stitch.
