NEW THIS WEEK - September 20th, 2006:
Four Seasons
The four seasons emphasize change and rediscovery. They tantalize our five senses and bring rejuvenation into our lives. We eagerly await nature's whimsical gifts like delicate icicles, budding trees, the northern lights and geese flying in perfect "V" formation.
As the Earth rotates around the sun, each season brings new colors, weather and energy, symbolizing the ending of something familiar and the transition into something new. New designs this week are inspired by the beauty of this cycle.
Bluebirds and chickadees are posed on branches rich and color and diverse in bloom. These birds are striking accents to pillows, cardigans, and wall hangings to adorn your home year-round.

Follow a majestic white-tailed deer as he sheds his antlers and adapts to his changing woodland surroundings. And, versatile floral baskets and corners lend to endless combinations and possibilities, or switch out designs depending on season. For centuries, artists, musicians and poets alike have used the essence of the seasons in their work--and it's easy to see why with the invigorating beauty of winter, summer, spring and fall. Enjoy the changing seasons, and the new designs.
Peanut butter and jelly, popcorn and movies, bacon and eggs -- some things just go together naturally, like classic redwork and Sunbonnet Sue. The simple lines and soft curves of these designs lend well to the minimalism of Redwork. Great for quick-stitching on flour-sack towels, or use in quilting!
