New from Barbara Ana: Hummingbirds scissor fob
Here's an exciting project that we are sure will delight many stitchers. First it's really useful because it's a rather big scissor fob, so you'll be sure never - ever again - to lose your scissors (think big hotel keys!). Second, the pattern features three delightful hummingbirds in gorgeous colors (spot the fine detail of the eyes). And finally, you'll have fun putting it all together, making a twisted cord and tassel, and mounting the two small square cushions (slipstitch method) with the beads and cord.

Ideas for stitching: fitting a pattern onto a scissor fob  
Here's an idea we received from Jenifer:
"I made this adorable scissor fob out of the Barbara Ana "Don't Bug Me I'm Stitching" design. I stitched it 1 over 1 on 28 count evenweave. I also used glow in the dark DMC for the eye's!
Barbara Ana designs are so colorful and fun."
What a great idea! If you're patient enough (and have a good eyesight) you can turn any medium size pattern into a miniature by stitching one over one. This pattern is 41 x 61 stitches (w x h) and turned out 1 1/2 x 2 inches when stitched.
Don't bug me, I'm stitching! by Barbara Ana
Thank you so much Jenifer for sharing these great pictures and ideas!
If you too have come up with some creative ideas, please send us your own photos and tips and we'll publish them here.

Barbara Ana: inimitable style
You can recognize a great cross stitch designer when you can immediately identify the author of a pattern by looking at their work. Barbara Ana, while having just recently started designing professionally, is definitely one of the great upcoming designers bringing new talent and creativity to cross stitch.
On top of her inimitable style and vibrant colors, she has something that is very hard to define, but that a stitcher will immediately be aware of when stitching her designs: the art of making every part of the cross stitching interesting to stitch. The "fun" element of stitching does not follow any specific rules. It's for a designer to "feel" and for a stitcher to experience.
Try one of her patterns and you'll see for yourself!

Finishing techniques: a recipe book
 In our last newsletter we asked those of you who had great creative ideas to share them with all of us. We were delighted to receive some very original ideas for finishing a stitched piece and hope to get some more soon.
Don't forget to send us your photos!
Maria created a personalized recipe book for her sister: learn the story and discover the great ideas she had, using 3 different charts.
>> Finishing ideas: Maria's recipe book
Thank you so much Maria!
For the occasion, Barbara Ana created a special design at Maria's request: the "male version" of Kiss the cook. We're sure plenty of stitchers will be delighted to stitch him too!

Donation made to "Save the Children"!
.jpg) A big thank you to all of you who bought the "Mystery Chart" and especially to designers Helga Mandl and Barbara Ana who came up with the idea and generously donated their royalties. All proceeds of the sale went to "Save the Children" an organization that cares for children worldwide, where they need our help most - and so many do right now!
The operation closed on December 31st and we were able to donate £337.60 ($495.30) to the organization. Here is their response: "Wow this is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for supporting Save the Children. Please pass on my extreme thanks to all those involved." So again thank you to all for supporting this initiative.
For those of you who did not have the opportunity to stitch the pattern, the chart is now part of our regular catalogue and is a lot of fun to stitch. We love the idea of a mystery chart where you'll see glimpses of the pattern but need to guess the rest. Go take a look!
