This is a very cute pattern by Marily Gash, Indygo Junction, it is called Folk Art Jingle. I saw the patterns stitched at the Weeks Dye Works booth at the Houston Quilt Market:
Erica Michael designs, if you are not up to the Silk Gauge challenge yet, you can always stitch all these designs one over one, they will be so cute, I just love the "Verse" that she uses:
Christmastide, it reads "May He be our peace and cheer through the coming Christmastide. May He richly bless our home and forever be our guide".
We are Blessed, it reads "Let us each be mindful of all we have for which to give thanks, friends, food, hopes, health, and happy memories. So in giving thanks, we are bless. Amen".
Yes, finally, I am adding Gentle Art Sampler threads to my web site, they will be here and ready to ship on October 27, I will add more selection in November:
I went there last Saturday and then Monday, but I did not have a lot of time looking around. I am always in a hurry. I did go to some booths and said Hi to people that I know, the hightlight of the Market was meeting Barb and Alma from Blackbird Designs.
I did not have a picture of Barb because when I went back on Monday to take pictures, Barb was not here, and here are pictures of Alma at the booth:
I love these 16 size Presencia pearle cotton, they are great for hardanger and stitching:

From Weeks dye works booth, the stitched pieces were very cute:
Brazillian embroidary, the owners, Ed and mar are the nicest people I ever met:
Here are two pictures of the Houston Quilt Wholesale Market. The booth is Bohin from France, they had tons of customers buying from them and a lot of stitchers and quilters love their products. Of course, I bought a few things from them as well:
Bohin 2 1/4" petite scissors, they are very sharp:
I am adding more beading supplies, I will have a beaded scissors fob tutorial soon, here is the 18mm lobster clasps that I added on the web site, most of the scissors and gingher scissors will fit into these clasps:
