Simple Treasures

NEW THIS WEEK - May 10th, 2006:


Simple Treasures -- 3-Color Wonders!

 
Warm days of spring can be so invigorating -- and can bring about a need for a change, something new. As soon as we pack away winter clothing and fill our closets with light and summery shirts and skirts, we find we're hankering for something new, refreshing -- and yes-- trendy.

New "Simple Treasures" three-color designs make embellishing fast and easy. Not only are the designs quick to deliver on simplicity, but they're also long on snazzy, chic, and sensational. Using just three thread colors, they sew in a lickety-stitch, but are strong with the vibrancy of depth and dimension.

It's all the fashion rage for summer. Embroidery is encircling hems, leisurely wending its way down skirts or shirts, and creating texture with reverberating tone-on-tone patterns. This week's shapely patterns are perfect for simple accents - and they're also made to be repeated over and over again to make a fashionable statement.

Sew something "simply sensational" in every sense of the phrase. Enjoy the new designs!

It's neat to repeat! Click here to see how to
twist and turn and repeat a design to create your very own fashion statement.

It's Neat to Repeat!
The artful depth and dimension of these simple, three-color designs never betray how easy they are to sew. And, when you sew them in multiple positions, you can create a fashionable garment, gorgeous table linens, or bedroom decor with quality that surpasses the costly offerings of retail. Try them in one color also, and tone-on-tone. To get started, check out the new project this week to see how to twist, turn, and repeat any of these designs to achieve the effect you desire.

Graceful Simplicity of Bamboo
The image of this light and airy, fast-growing "tree of grass" always reminds us of Asia, even though there are 1400 species of bamboo to be found in many other parts of the world. The legendary food of the Panda Bear isn't confined to China, nor tropical regions. Two species that were native to North America are known as canebrake and switch cane, but most of these were rooted out by farming. Three shades of green bring out the graceful leaves of this exotic plant, or try it in one color for tone-on-tone.

Simply Poppies
Golden blooms of exquisite beauty flutter gently in the breezes of a California spring. Prized for centuries by native populations, this wild poppy once completely covered western coastal hillsides,
and was declared California's state flower in 1903. Akin, is the European wild poppy, made famous by the World War I poem, "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. Adopted as a memorial to those who died in wartime, the beautiful red poppy is a familiar emblem when Remembrance or Veteran's Days are observed in Canada, Europe, and the United States. Both can be recognized by their four fragile, almost translucent, vibrantly colored petals.

Simple Butterflies
Welcome visitors to our gardens and trails, butterflies capture our imaginations. They seem to float on air as they flit among the flowers, reminding us of tales of fairy lands and wood nymphs. Their images, whether realistic or stylized like these, are always counted among everyone's favorite embellishments.

Three Cheers for Three Colors

Each design uses three colors -- but you can also sew every one of these using a single thread
color. The unique method of shading imparts an artful depth and dimension to your embroidery.
These designs make outstanding tone-on-tone embellishments, too. Quick stitching makes them
worth repeating, and they're light enough for breezy summer fabrics.
 
Here's an example: The palm tree on the left was sewn in three colors of green: dark,
medium, and light. The palm tree on the right is the same design using just one color.
 
Available in one size:
2.51"X3.88"
  Available in one size:
2.51"X3.88"

Now that the palm trees have demonstrated the difference, it's up to you to decide -- three, or one?  
The many designs to follow are sure to get you started on gifts for all ages, summer birthdays and anniversaries, and projects for travel and adventure. There's bound to be something for everyone you know, from cooks to car buffs to card players, astronauts to aquanauts, birders to boaters, musicians to motorcyclists. Whatever you choose, it can be enthralling in three colors or equally wonderful in one.
