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…

Baltimore Market was fun. We added a day to our trip for a little sight seeing which we did in the old town section of Annapolis. Beautiful old building and narrow streets, loved it! But 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… Halloween Silhouettes. The black on orange captures the spirit and creatures of Halloween. Each of the six designs is fun to do and just plain stunning.

Ort Boxes are something new I came up with this spring. They are a small (3x3 inch) design to that is glued to the top of a paper Mache box (the box comes with the pattern). There are four boxes in all: Flower Patch, Lime Ricky and Americana but my favorite is Halloween Web! Be sure to stop by the Ort Box section to see it! The Web Stitch on the top is the greatest!!!

It wouldn't be Handblessings without a Hooked On. This time around it's Hooked On Purses. We have Hooked on Shoes so of course we have to have Purses, Bags and Totes.

On to Christmas… The Bright and Merry Christmas Tree Quilt is just that, bright and merry! I love stitching a big piece like this that is broken up into smaller individual quilt blocks. (Halloween Quilt is done the same way) The squares make up fast and before you know it you have a wonderful design all done.

The TAG Songbird Ornaments are a little touch of summer for your Christmas tree. They are small and delightful with the delicate little musical note charm.

I think I'm becoming the Biscornu queen with two new pieces to bring us to a total of seven.
Sweetheart Kitty Biscornu is for the cat lover. On the top are the four adorable kitties. When you turn it over it says "cats leave pawprints on your heart. So cute!
Baby Biscornu also has a hidden message. The word BABY is spelled out on the top and on the underside you stitch the baby's name and birth date. Something a little different.
If you haven't done a Biscornu because you are afraid of finishing it don't be. It really is easy and fun. (by the way I'm working on two more new ones as I write this).

Antique Key Rack is fun to stitch, attractive, and practical, what more could you ask for!

Autumn Jewel Needlepoint created a stir when it came out last fall. Many asked if I would do the four seasons. I have. There is Winter Wonder Needlepoint, Spring Fantasy, Needlepoint and now the set is complete with Summer Splendor, Needlepoint. One is more stunning than the other.

Don't forget to check us out on the wholesale Online Needlework Show, www.needleworkshow.com October 20 - 25. 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
