The Lacey Thread Blog
I just had an email from a stitcher asking about the fabric used for My Heart's Garden so that it would fit in the Sudberry box. It is stitched on 28 count fabric for a perfect fit into the box top.
I'm sorry, Santa41, but I couldn't get your return email address to work! Hope that this omission hasn't inconvenienced you too much, and thanks so much for asking! We love to hear from stitchers!
We have released two new designs, My Child's Heart and Sunglow Memories.
My Child's Heart is an exquisite birth sampler containing hardanger, pulled thread, specialty stitches and ribbon embroidery. This sampler could also be customized for a wedding sampler, or stitched without words for a beautiful band sampler! A Mother-of-Pearl heart bead is also included with each leaflet.
In Sunglow Memories you can display your favorite pictures in a gorgeous memory frame, using unique and creative corner photo holders designed by Lacey Thread Designs. Your photos can be easily exchanged as you desire without having to reframe the stitching each time. Stitched with basic hardanger (NO CUTTING!) and pulled thread stitches, and detailed directions for the corner photo holders are included in leaflet.
You have probably noticed that Lacey Thread Designs is open for business!! All of us are so excited to have finally reached this point!You will find 4 beautiful designs in our design catalog. Feel free to order from us online in our shopping cart, and we have a special section just for Shop Owners!!! We have two more designs to be released very soon! My Child's Heart, a sweet birth sampler based on My Heart's Garden, brings in the same elements of hardanger and ribbon embroidery. And Sunglow Memories is another design of kloster blocks and pulled thread in a lucious overdyed silk. It is a unique picture frame that needs no cutting, and pictures are easily exchangeable!! Be watching for these great designs!!
It's coming right along. The first four models are stitched and finished. The photos have been taken and the covers are pretty well in place. They will probably receive their final tweaking next week. (I'm studying for an exam for my general insurance designation, so I have been devoting extra time to that). I went to the post office today and signed up for a post office box. The first publication date is within sight!!!
The first four releases (and some teasers) are as follows:
Hawaiian Memories
Allison's Ring Pillow
Quaker Inspirations
My Heart's GardenThis has been quite an adventure, and not going as quickly as I hoped. That is only because life seems to keep getting in the way....my normal job, studying for my exam, school starting for Lizzie and Alana, etc. It will all get done though. The first time through everything seems awkward and slow. We are anticipating getting into a groove with the second set of releases.

Last Saturday DD#1, Amy, and I spent about 8 hours photographing, choosing just the perfect photo, and doing the color front page for the model for "My Heart's Garden". Whew. We learned alot, and I think we are going to work on photographing it again this coming Saturday. We finally got the setting the way we liked, but the lighting was just not perfect. I want to try it again.
