Inspiration for George design...



This box turtle keeps visiting our porch and front yard. 
I think its orange eyes means it's a boy.

Introducing The Boys


 Abel

George

 Jackson

Jeremiah

Thanks to Kathy Bonham for stitching the four boys ... And to Lakeside Linens for providing the beautiful 32-count Vintage Autumn Gold linen ... And to Needlepoint Silk for sending their glorious thread ... And finally to The Family Tree Frame Company, a division of Crescent Colours, for matching the frames used years ago on The Girls.

Suggested Retail Price: $10.00

All Boy

Here are a few sneak peeks at The Boys. My niece gave birth yesterday to her first child (a boy!) and both of my nephews' wives are expecting boys this fall, so these designs are just in time . . .

Details from Abel



Jackson


George

And Jeremiah

 More to come,
