It's Time to "Wash & Pray" - Our Newest Design!
Good Evening Friends!
I know it has been a while since I have sent something out but I promise to do a little better now in the future. With my ankle surgery behind me and physical therapy wrapping up in the next couple of weeks, hopefully I won't feel so overwhelmed. That being said, I hope this finds everyone well, enjoying the start of summer, which by the way pushed itself right in here in Kansas City - we went right into the mid 90's and it doesn't look like the coming week is going to be any better. Mother Nature is pulling out all the stops to confuse us all! I have been busy working on some brand new designs and have lots of ideas for some fun new projects - one of which is going to be a collaboration with Fabric Flair! I absolutely love their fabrics and we are working on something really fun and exciting together so I will keep you posted as we progress along. In the meantime, our newest design is available now! "Wash & Pray" has made it safely to all of our wonderful distributors - Hoffman Distributing, Norden Crafts, and Yarn Tree so they are ready for your favorite needlework shops to order! I absolutely love this little frog and his bar of soap. He is actually the creation of digital graphic artist, Cheryl Selsar and with her permission, he has been created in cross-stitch and paired with a fun little reminder for all of us. I hope you enjoy stitching this design as much as I did while creating it. I love the little buttons from JABC too. They bring more color and life to the design. I did something a little more crafty with the framing this time too. Found this distressed blue 14 X 17" frame with a fabric mat. I had to trim it back a bit to fit the stitchery but then also trimmed it out with some natural hemp cording and 3D bubble embellishments from my local Joann Fabrics and Waaaa-Laaa! I have received some wonderful feedback already on this one and it does make me so happy to hear from shops and stitchers! Your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Here are pictures of the finished project and chart pack cover.
We will be releasing a new Christmas ornament in the next week as well called "Christmas Is Love". A sneak peek is on our Facebook page and we'll be having a contest in the near future too! It is getting late here...oh my, already Sunday morning.. just after midnight here so I am going to close for now. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and stay cool! Take care of you and yours. Happy Stitching To All! Until next time, Deb

Just Checking In...
Hi Everyone!
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying lots of time for stitching. I am sorry I haven't posted for a while but I am recovering from ankle surgery and have had a little setback but hopefully will be good as new in just a few more weeks. I am finally starting to work on some new designs and will be updating you all on some of those next week. Looking ahead, we have the TNNA Fall Needlework Market in St. Charles, MO coming in August, and I will definitely have some fun new designs ready for that as well. It is frustrating for me not to be able to move around and do things like I am used to and the medications I have to take don't always agree with me... :( That being said, it has set me back more than I would have liked. I would love to hear what you all are stitching! As you know, I have mentioned before that I have some of my own favorite designers, many of which you will find links too right here on the blog! My newest addition is a U.K. designer, Margaret Sherry. While I have acquired a few of her adorable charts in the past...mainly her cat and dog patterns, lately, I have become even more addicted to collecting them. Just a fun little hobby I have. I will be posting a Sneak Peek of my newest design coming soon next week. It is called" Wash & Pray" and that is all I am going to tell you for now but there will be an adorable little button pack available from JABC to go along with it. "Christmas Is Love" will be the 2nd ornament in our series and that should be available soon as well. Have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching! Take care of you and yours, Deb.

NEW DESIGNS ARE HERE!
Hi Everyone!
I am sorry I haven't written much lately but I have been so busy since returning from the Nashville Market last week! Quickly, I wanted to post pictures for you of the 3 new designs that were released at Market. I will write more later but really wanted to share with you now since some folks are asking. If you take a look at our website (www.thestitchingbear.com) and go to What's New, you can find out more information about each one. I hope that you like the new designs and that you will want to stitch one...maybe two.. or heck, maybe all three! :) Here are "God & Chocolate", the 2nd in the Chocolate Lovers Series, "SPRING" a beautiful Spring Sampler with 22 different colors of sampler threads from the Gentle Art and embellished with beads and JABC buttons! I want to give a big thank you and shout out to my model stitcher, Erin Turowski (See her blog here :http://lessb1tchingmorestitching.blogspot.com) who did a beautiful job of stitching this sampler for me. She really came thru for me in a pinch when time was running short for Market!
Let me know what you think of the new designs! The 3rd design is the 1st ornament in the "Deck The Halls All Year Long" series called "Winter Wonderland" - Silver Star Charm and beads for the tree are included with the chart pack! The 2nd ornament called "Christmas Is Love:" will be coming soon.

Good Evening All!
Just wanted to drop a little note before time gets away from me ... and it has been doing that a lot lately! It has been a busy and productive weekend. I am taking the stitching right down to the wire for the Nashville Market. Today I have been working on completing the 1st Ornament in the "Deck The Halls All Year Long" series. It is called "Winter Wonderland." I am introducing my little bear friend "Charlie" in this first ornament and you can expect to see a lot of him in the future so what better way than to have him be the first little face you see for the new ornament series! I am just going to give you a little sneek peek here because the real unveiling is coming at the Nashville Market! If all goes as planned, I will be releasing at least 4 new designs there and I already have several more in the works for release a bit later.
Until next time, take care of your and yours and here's wishing you "Beary Happy Stitching! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @thestitchngbear. No "i". We have a nice little contest going on for copies of our soon to be released designs! Deb

Happy Valentines Day!
Hi Everyone!
Happy Valentines Day to you! I am sorry I haven't written in a while but I have been so busy with designing and stitching getting ready for the Nashville Market Show the first weekend of March, I don't know if I am coming or going! These late nights are getting hard for this ole' gal! We will be releasing some brand new designs in two weeks at the show, and we have to keep them secret for now but I can tell you Part 1 of our new 4 All Seasons Sampler Series called SPRING will be released and I absolutely love all the colors we used from The Gentle Art. I am hoping we will have a thread bag available of all 23 colors ... I will keep you posted and of course you KNOW we don't do much without also including a button or two from our friends at Just Another Button Company! :) We are also releasing the 2nd design in our Chocolate Lovers Series called "GOD & Chocolate" and was so much fun creating this one I sure hope you will like it and enjoy stitching it. Quite a bit different from our first one - Chocolate Understands. Will look forward to getting feedback from you once it is available. I am hoping to have two ornaments completed in time from our "Deck The Halls All Year Long" holiday ornament series. This is my very first series...so you can see...lots to do and get ready for the show. For our shop owners who will be visiting us at the show, we will have a wonderful filled tote of Stitching Bear goodies for the winner of our contest. Every shop with a paid order will be entered for the drawing and the winner will receive their prize on Sunday! I also want to give a very special THANK YOU to my two model stitchers who have recently signed on to help me with some of my projects! Thanks Amy and Erin (see her blog in our list.. Less B*tching More Stitching!) I appreciate you both so much!
Well, guess I better get back to it. Have a wonderful day and take care of you and yours. Have a wonderful day of love and stitching...and if stitching in your love too...you have the best of both worlds! Deb
