Caroline Baird 1843

Very exciting news to tell all of you-- I have a new sampler pattern released for your enjoyment.  May I introduce to you Caroline Baird!

 The verse reads:

Religion

How sweetly on yon tranquil stream

The setting sun imprints his ray;

Which back reflects the saffron beam

And glows when it has passed away.

More sweetly far when death draws nigh

Religion casts her soothing light

Sheds on the spirits opening eye

Her hues immortal pure and bright

I have chosen Lakeside Linen Vintage Autumn Gold along with a beautiful array of hand-dyed silks.  Also included is a DMC conversion and the stitch count is 240 x 230.  I know she will be stunning on a variety of linen colors and I look forward to progress pics!
 
Have a fantastic Memorial Weekend!!!!!

Helen Govane progress

Hello everyone!  A stitcher sent me some progress pics on Helen Govane that I wanted to share with all of you!!

 

Isnt it fabulous!!  She is stitching Helen on 40ct Vintage Meadow Rue with her silk conversion :)  I love it!!  Thank you so much for sharing.  Looking forward to seeing the finished sampler!!

Helene Govane 1827

May I introduce to you Helene Govane of Glasgow, Scotland.  I am thrilled to share her with all of you :)  I acquired her a few years ago and thought what a great sampler-- and so different from E. Bloeser!  The original was stitched on 26ct linen, so I chose Lakeside Linen 28ct Vintage Meadow Rue along with a variety of silk threads.  A DMC conversion is also provided.  For those of you who are more adventurous, please feel free to choose your own linen count or thread colors.  If you make changes, I would love to see!  Email me some pics and I will post them to share with the rest of you!!

If you are interested in the pattern, please contact your local needlework shop, or contact one of the shops listed on the side bar.  If you are shop interested in carrying my patterns, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for stopping by today :)

Coming Soon!!!

A big thank you to all those who purchased E. Bloeser, my first reproduction sampler!!!!  All of you that have been patiently waiting and asking ever so gently when the next one would be ready so..........here is a tease from the new soon to be released reproduction sampler from the Traveling Stitcher.  It has been a while I know!  She is due out in a month or so, just waiting for her to get back from the framer and the printer. 

I know you will enjoy her :)

Did you see it?!

With their very own Attic conversion, E. Bloeser is standing proud as one of their new shop models!!  Looks absolutely gorgeous!  Love that stitchers are changing the stitch counts, choosing their very own colors.  Isnt it wonderful we have so many options?!

 Thank you very much Attic Needlework-- it is a pleasure to be represented in your shop :)

Another Update

Traveling Stitcher was mentioned on page 6 of the Attic Needlework's latest newsletter!!!! I am over the moon with the kind words said about E. Bloeser (you can see it here) and super excited with the response so far.  I am thrilled to share another stitchers' progress on Elisa.

Lynn is using 40ct Green Slate Lakeside with a great conversion from the reproduction.  Can you even!?  I love the idea of stepping out of the box and using another color.  YGG!!! Looking forward to seeing the finish :)  I appreciate you sharing with us!

It is so much fun to be creative with our projects.  I look forward to the next update!

Elisa has been welcomed with open arms and I thank all of you who have added her to your stash and who has started stitching her already!!  If you are interested in sharing your progress of Elisa, send me an email (travelingstitcher@gmail.com), I would be happy to post them!!   Thank you so much for your support-- it means the world to me.
