Portrait of a lady
Lady squirrel seems to be posing for a painting, actually a cross sitch pattern by Barbara Ana. We love the contrast between the aqua blue of the dress and the natural colors.

Chinese lanterns
The Physalys bears cheerful orange fruit in Autumn. Designer Faby Reilly skillfully depicts in cross stitch the puffy lanterns housing the little round fruit. One of the lanterns has already disintegrated into its lace like shape (pictured right and worked in Gold metallic). The flowers are thus known in French as "Amour en cage" or Love in a cage.
The pattern is part of the designer's delightful year-round collection of needlework flowers, one for each month of the year, the Anthea collection.

Early leaves falling
Samantha Purdy captures in cross stitch the little simple joys of life, such as spotting the early fallen leaves in the yard, and grabbing the old broom. Concise and to-the-point, the designer only retains the most essential elements in her charts, but yet they tell a full story: the main door with its letterbox and sheer white curtain visible behind the panes, the apron with a motif evocative of home, the red cardinal perched on an already barren plant and signalling the arrival of colder days.

Grow you own vegetable patch We were delighted to receive this new pattern by Perrette Samouiloff because it triggered so many project ideas. Each little motif is easy to place according to your own constraints, depending what you want to stitch. You can make a recipe book cover, or space out the motif on a shopping bag (great for the farmer's market!). If you've got little ones around, you can stitch different baby bibs and place mats (they will all fight for the carrots!). Or you could stitch it as it is, beautiful in any case.
