Free Chart Download - Kathy's Northern Nights

I am delighted to offer you this free download courtesy of Kathy from deep in the Rocky Mountains. It is howlingly bitter here in the depths of gentle Surrey and we have just heard we have not had the worst - that is being saved up for a nice, icy weekend. There are strange animal noises outside too, but no howling wolves - at least not yet! This sampler evokes the depths of winter in a way few samplers do. How glad I am to be by the log stove with a pot of steaming tea to hand. Kathy says that this sampler is her first design - living in the cold northern Rocky Mountains, she wanted a piece that would make one feel the cold of such a place at night in winter, but with the warmth of the lights from windows glowing from a hearth. The two 'wolves' are her Anatolian shepherds doing their customary howling on such nights. Her sampler became particularly meaningful when she had to put her oldest one to sleep a few weeks ago. I am very proud of Kathy because she wanted to show that even an old doll without a lot of computer savvy can make such things from the Needleprint Infinity kit. Well done Kathy - and thank you from all of us for sharing.

  1. All my thanks to you, Jacqueline, for the software that made it so easy even I could do it and for all of your patience in answering so many questions when I first started.

    I hope it will encourage like minded stitchers to give designing a try!
