Oooo, so pretty!!

So this may disqualify me as a stitcher but I really didn't see much from the recent Nashville Needlework Market that caught my eye. A lot of the designs released are very pretty but they're just not my taste for one reason or another. I guess that's good in a way because it means my wishlist won't grow by leaps and bounds, nor will my credit card be smokin'.

That said, I did come across this beautiful design and it's definitely been put on my wishlist!!

I'm not quite sure what draws me to it but I think it's the colour palette (it's stitched using DMC floss) on the cream linen. This a big piece though; the stitch count is 251 x 331!!

While I am not really into stitching samplers, this design is beautiful! For a moment I thought that it might be an Ink Circles design (I love their designs!).

If your disqualified then so am I as I've only seen a couple of things that appeal to me from Market this year.

I'm not usually into Quaker style designs, but this one has some very pretty part, loving the flower to the right of the Z

I've only seen one or two things from the market this year, myself. Actually, probably just one. Love the Quaker Sampler! Will you be stitching it in the pinks and creams??

That is very pretty! I am stitching my first Quaker piece and so far I am enjoying it a great deal.
