Back in February (yes that long ago) I posted the beginning of a new stitchery or two, and posed the question to you all on if I should screen-print, use an iron-on transfer or just a hard copy of the stitchery outline in my patterns. I must THANK YOU all for contributing your thoughts. I was very surprised as I had the number of my local screen printer ready to run. I have gone with the two most favoured options, so now my two new patterns have an iron-on transfer, as well as a hard copy if you prefer to trace your patterns.
So, finally, the BIG reveal of my patterns -
Flower Basket Sampler on the left, and New Day Stitchery on the right..... ....hope you like them! They should be available at your local quilt shop now.
Oh, by the way, if you like the frames, I painted them myself. They are an 8"x10" frame that I painted using a house paint called 'Sheltered Bay' (by Dulux), which I then rubbed back. I could also see the stitcheries on bags, or as a wallhanging or even in a quilt!
Thanks again for your comments - I really appreciated your words of wisdom and knowing what you prefer.
Until next time
Anni
I love those 2 stitcheries and shall start searching for them. The frames are gorgeous too. Great that you are including a traceable copy as well as an iron on copy. Thanks so much for sharing with us again. Angel hugs.

They're both so pretty! I think I may have to make them both and find frames to match so I can hang them up together! :0)

Gorgeous, gorgeous,gorgeous - when will they be on your website? I can't see them there. Cost? Will you sell the frames too? They are a perfect color fit to my sewing room. :)

Hi Anni wow your new stitchery's are absolutely gorgeous! I agree, the iron-on transfers are a good way to go so that we can choose our preferred background fabric and not have to trace! I'm looking forward to buying the patterns for these...

HI Cil
I have a website www.hatchedandpatched.com.au which has most of my designs for sale. I also have a stockist list on this site which could point you in the direction of a local business near you who supplies my patterns and books – good luck!

Oh, Anni, those stitcheries are so lovely - and great news about iron-on templates too!
I'll be looking for them (at any case I can certainly find them at Quilt and Craft show in October in Brisbane :) )
