Cool Weather Means Needlework Time

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is start a needlework project. I have selected my project for the holiday season: Winter Sampler from Elizabeth Bradley Designs. I love the primitive design and the colors just fit my décor perfectly. When the weather turns cold, it is fun to sit by the fire in my favorite chair and stitch.

In fact, my publishing career began with stitching when we launched Just CrossStitch magazine. Needlework is a part of my soul, and I love every stitch.

Many of you have wanted to learn to needlepoint. It is never too late to learn a great hobby. Some of my favorite projects are Elizabeth Bradley designs, and when we were creating a feature on the company for Victoria magazine, I thought I would share with you my love of the designs. Their needlepoint canvases are painted so it takes the guesswork out of placing the stitches. And the best news is that you only have to learn one type of stitch to complete the whole piece.

I contacted Elizabeth Bradley Designs and asked if they would let us give away two kits, and they graciously selected two beautiful designs. You can see the kit and a photo of how the designs look finished below.
