NASHVILLE RELEASES: ST. PATRICK QUEEN OF THE NEEDLES

Another day, another project Today let's talk about St. Patrick queen of the needles. Much hated by 'Elisabetta the model stitcher' because there's a rainbow!!! And my dear Betty is a very dark black fan LOL. She does not like colours at all. But hey! It's not St. Patrick without a Leprechaun and a rainbow. Personally I'm a rainbow fan. I love it in cakes, fabrics, scarves, shoes... everywhere, especially into my crochet blankets and pillows.
Anyway she stitched it beautifully as always, and I'm so happy you'll have a chance to meet her in person at the market (yessss, she'll be with me!!!!!).
This adorable queen of the needles comes with her set of pins, a lovely Leprechaun fob and an adorable thread keeper. But I'll talk about them tomorrow.
Here is night and it's time for me to say bye and go to sleeeeep.
Please support our industry and place your order by the shops that will attend Nashville Market. Thanks!!!!!

NASHVILLE RELEASES: READER QUEEN OF THE NEEDLES

Day by day I'm telling you something about the story behind the patterns... for example: do you know that the Queen of needles series is not an idea I had but it is an idea of Elisabetta, my model stitcher? At the moment she is very annoyed by the queens LOL... she stitched them all twice and sometimes more than twice. But it's such a nice collection!!!! And Paola, my finisher is also very tired to finish them, hihihihihi. I ADORE to design them and I'm happy you all appreciate my queens so much. I have a bunch of ideas for my next releases...This READER QUEEN OF THE NEEDLES comes from my love for books. I love them in any possible format: real books, ebooks, big books, small books... tiny books... I love them, I love to read and thank to books I lived so many different lives in my mind, and I visited so many universes... To read is to live, is to learn... how many time I though... just another page....
Well, I hope you'll appreciate my short talking about the patterns... have a great week!!!!

NASHVILLE MARKET SURVIVOR - Nashville market exclusive

Hi guys! Tonight I want to tell you about this Exclusive pattern created by for #nashvilleneedleworkmarket2024
I had the idea last year in an adorable cafe in Franklin. It was the Monday after the market and, thankfully, it was a great market, but I had a strong flu for the whole week and I still had to fly to South Carolina to teach a class. I was happy but exhausted: a survivor !!!
So.. I designed this pattern mostly for my helpers and myself, but also for all my colleagues and all the shop owners who have worked with me during all these years to keep the market a beautiful occasion to celebrate our art! I hope you’ll love it!!!!
Please support our industry and place your order by the shops that will attend Nashville Market. Thanks!!!!!

Nashville releases 2024 Furry babies collection

venerdì 9 febbraio 2024

NASHVILLE RELEASES: FURRY BABIES

FURRY BABIES: includes 3 patterns.
Stitched by Elisabetta.B on 40 ct Olde Massachusetts Linen.
Finished by Paola Endrizzi (La Pica De Uva)

Hello Stitchers of the world, day by day I want to present you my Nashville releases one by one. Furry Babies is dedicated to all the furry moms and dads in the stitching world LOL. As I do not have kids I think at my pets as my babies... and my model stitcher Elisabetta stitched these pillows probably cuddling her mini furry baby LOL... Useless to say that my babies must approve all my guests and if you do not want to have all around dogs, cats, bunnies and turtles, well... the best thing to do is to chose to visit another friend and not me. Luckily my hubby is of the same advice.
Usually I do not write a lot, but animals almost saved my life during the last 4 years: they supported me in many bad moments and they also helped me in understanding important lessons. But I think you know I treasure animals ... immensely.

LA BEFANA THREAD WAXER

Hello Stitchers! I made a very LIMITED EDITION THREAD WAKER: LA BEFANA. I made them with the wax of my bees, no chemicals or colours adds: only pure bee wax that I personally gathered from the old hives my bees do not use anymore (sometimes I change them in order to clean them deeply).
Only on my Etsy because my website is under maintenance:

LA BEFANA WAXER:
The waxer will not have glitter on, 
I used them on one waxer only to take the pic. 
Waxer will arrive in an adorable cardboard box.
