Winter In My Garden

MD68

Third in the series of gardeners is “Winter in My Garden”. Every gardener I know doesn’t rest the minute the snow starts to fall. Winter is a time for organizing seeds, planning beds or researching to find the perfect climbing rose. That’s why our newest design depicts a woman in her greenhouse amidst all her started seedlings, dreaming about spring and the new start it will bring.

Fairie Treasures

MD66

A peaceful fairie brings treasures of your own choosing. “Love”, “Joy”, or “Peace” can be inscribed on her special treasure box for a dear friend or you! She is in calm rust and berry colors.

Queen Of Freedom

MD64

Due to the overwhelming response to “Lady of the Flag”, we have created another pattern that honors our Flag to complete the set.
A classic Greek beauty drapes the Stars and Stripes over her lap while she clutches a book of law. She promises peace, justice, and beauty for all.

Cottage Garden Fairy

MD63

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty! In the colors of the cottage garden.
– the blue shawl is dyed with “forget-me-nots”
– her glittering dew dripped gown is made of woven “celedon” seedlings from her cutting garden,
-her wings are the pale pink/purple only found when gazing at certain “cosmos” in bloom against the sun,
-the bodice was formed by sewing together rose petals from the climbing rose her grandmother planted that no one can remember the name of.
Oh, and lest we forget the lovely “baby blue eyes” that dot the edges of her wings as well as the edges of her garden paths. We think she would be lovely paired with her sister “The Queen Mermaid”.

Christmas Wishes

MD61

Dear Stitcher,
My new design is of a boy and girl sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him their hopes and dreams. Santa is on a throne and cloaked in festive red and gold. There is much evergreen garland that softly twinkles and intricate beading on the columns. I hope your Holiday season is filled with the peace and joy that I tried to convey in this pattern. ~Nora

The Blossom Harvest

MD60

A young maiden crowned with pale crystal zinnias, stops to experience the pleasures of nature. Her apron pattern echoes the neatly kept rows of her garden that overflows with pansies, narcissus, violets, and herbs. Beads make the flowers appear as they are in those first moments of the dewy morning — glistening and glowing with tiny droplets.

July’s Amethyst Fairy

MD59

Fourth in Nora Corbett’s “Year of the Fairies” Collection, July’s Amethyst Fairy captures a radiant fairy mere moments before she is to meet with her long-awaited fairy prince. Because even enchanted glens get warm in July, her shadow-hued gown is off-the-shoulder satin, accented with precious gems the color of the midsummer sky.
Her bouquet? Rarest lavender roses. And behind her, airy wings flutter majestically, shimmering with violet amethysts – amethysts as perfect as this moment.
