Brooke's Books Blog

I've got two new designs to celebrate the wee ones in our lives. You can get more information on these two personalized baby samplers here: http://www.brookesbooks.com/NewStuff.html .

Hope you like them.

  This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've seen come down the craft pike in awhile. Check out Spoonflower, a company that allows you to design your own fabric for $18.00 a yard! My head feels like it could explode with creative fabby possibilities. 

Happy Birthday Valentine!

Winter Pantry Challenge

Winter Pantry Challenge time at Brooke's Books Interactive Yahoo! Group. This is the third in a series of four seasonal pantry cross stitch designs I'm designing for Meg's BBI Yahoo! Group...and yes, it's a freebie. To get it you need to join the group. That's it. No other obligation. Once your membership has been approved, you can find the chart by going to Files / Freebies / and then to Challenge Freebies. You can either add these pantries to your stash or participate in this month's Challenge by stitching the Winter Pantry however your heart desires...That means if you'd like to use a different color pallet or metallics or charms or buttons or overdyes, or or or...Do it up the way you'd like and submit a photo of your finished work to the group's Photo section in the designated folder by the end of February and then everyone in the group will vote for their favorite the first week of March in a poll. The winner will receive any chart pack they'd like from my designs. And that's it in a nutshell. Now, go stitch...
