happy new year!

Hello hello hello!  Geez, I almost had to blow dust off the old keyboard here.  I've been gone longer than I'd intended. 

Hope your 2014 is off to a great start.  Mine is - with a little applique and embroidery.  Not sure how this project is going to turn out, but I'm liking it a lot so far ... :)

Very pretty! Maybe Olympic rings in honor of the upcoming winter games?! Lol. They are very pretty.

[Cheryl]

Your new project looks very interesting! Please show us more of it.

Happy New Year to you too, Kristyne! I'm liking it a lot so far too!! Can't wait to see what you make!! :)

[Saartje]

Happy New Year!
You're making me curious...

By the way, I'm glad I made you laugh the other day (about the stitches crossed in the wrong direction). If I made a person smile, that day is considered a success, so thanks for letting me know my day was a success!

[Christa]

Looking awesome as always!

[Cindy]

Well, I'm intrigued! Your stitching is so precise. I just have to tell you that I checked your book out of the library and now I am going to buy it. I have to make the boys style quilt for my 2 year old grandson. I know he'll love it and I will have so much fun making it!
Happy new year! Cindy

Very pretty! I'm anxious for more pictures. Happy New Year!

I have never been interested in applique, until today! You have a way of motivating me. I hope that doesn't sound creepy! haha!

I just absolutely adore everything you make. I can't wait to see it.

Oooh, the beginnings of something wonderful, I am sure!
Christmas brought some lovely gifts, one of which was your book! I had mentioned to Santa that he could get it at your shop, but with all that crunching of the cookies left for him, I guess he didn't hear me. He picked it up elsewhere. Santa was supposed to ask you to sign it.
Another goodie was Farmer's Wife Quilt, but I can't get the pdf to open the patterns. Hmm.
Hope your holidays were filled with more joy than snow!

Happy 2014 to you from New Zealand! I am always inspired by what you make and I am looking forward to 2014 to see your exciting pieces materalise.

Kristyne - this new look is beautiful. I think the risk you took in trying it will be well worth the reward in the end. Can't wait to see it. Wishing you and your family a healthy, Happy New Year.

Looks like something very pretty. I wonder what it is..........

[ina]

I love what I see! happy new year!

[Kathleen]

Ho-hum....just another GORGEOUS quilt coming!!!! ; D
I love the stitching, the subtle beading, the colors.....I think you are in the right field of work.
I have such a hard time finding any subtle ivory fabrics like the background you use. How do you find those?
Keep up the inspiring work- we love it!

Oh, good heavens...stunning! After trying to embroider some of Alicia's ornaments, I am more amazed than ever with your mad stitching skills. Oh well, at least I am enjoying it! And you might be interested to know that I received the nicest package in the mail two days ago...eep!!! THANK YOU!!! You are TOO kind! I am working on a blog post that I hope to have up tomorrow. I'll be linking up! :)

[Sinta]

Happy 2014 to you! The photo is beautiful. I will look forward to what wonderful surprises you will be sharing this month!

[Jennifer Gwyn]

Can't wait! Looks great as always! My daughter has been pulling out my copy of your book "S is for Stitch" and telling me about the colors of thread I need to get to make her some blocks. She is partial to the kitty cat right now (in dark pink please, with a light pink nose). Guess I'll be doing some embroidery soon also!

[Bari Jo]

Happy New Year!! How is your new house coming along? Moved in yet? Your new project looks perfect - man your hand work is just gorgeous! :O) Looking forward to seeing what it is!
