Handblessings

Welcome to Handblessings website, my virtual home. I'm very glad you stopped by to see all my creations. I have tried to organize them so you have an easy time finding something you would like to create for yourself, family and friends. There is nothing like something homemade…

Nashville Market was great fun. It was well attended by both designers and shops. The best part of any Market is seeing shop friends and introducing them to my new designs. Now I can introduce them to you.

Let's start with the biggest hit… Spring Silhouettes. The pastel colors on the Navy background is so festive. They are cute without being cutesy Two designs are more Eastery and the other five are springy. Each of the seven designs is fun to do and just plain stunning.

We added another Ort Box to our collection. The very lovely Cherry Blossom Ort Box. An ort box is a small (3x3 inch) counted canvas design that is glued to the top of a paper Mache box (the box comes with the pattern). There are 5 boxes in all: Flower Patch, Lime Ricky, Americana, Halloween Web and now Cherry Blossom! Be sure to stop by the Ort Box section to see them all!

I love cardinals. I think we all do. But we always see cardinals in a winter design. Well this is a Spring Cardinal and he is as cute as can be. I finished him as a door knob pillow for something and little different and to add color to that corner of the house.

We are proud to present a new seasonal quilt, Winter Quilt. This quilt celebrates the fun activities of winter: sledding, skating, skiing, building a showman and shoveling. It has 8 adorable charms included with the pattern. There will be an Autumn, Summer and Spring quilt too. In case you didn't notice I love the seasons.

First there was Sweetheart Kitty Biscornu and dog lovers took me to task. Now we have Puppy Love Biscornu for the dog lover. On the top are four adorable puppy dog faces each different. When you turn it over it says "dogs leave pawprints on your heart". So true and cute!

Last but not least is the annual free year long promotional block of the month quilt. This year it is called Diamond Quilt. As you can see it is a beautiful piece with a touch of romance. You get a free block pattern each month from your stitch shop. There is also a charm packet available if you want to add a little bling to your quilt. If the shop is not doing the Diamond Quilt promotion ask them to contact us and sign up.

Don't forget to check us out on the wholesale Online Needlework Show, www.needleworkshow.com April 19 - 24. We will have additional new pieces on the online show. There will be a couple new Hooked Ons, a new Biscornu or two and a new Ort Box.

Happy Stitching,
Eileen
