Winter’s Peace by Artful Offerings


Cross-stitch has returned in a big way and I have been resisting the temptation to revisit that favorite pastime. And then I saw this! Who could resist!

Winter's Peace Sampler

On a glorious mid-winter’s day, a pair of folkart birds rest in the branches of towering trees. Snowflakes silently begin to blanket this quaint village. Celebrate this Peace-filled season by stitching this sampler in soothing shades of blue. Winter’s Peace Sampler is sure to become a favorite wintry holiday display!

I can’t wait to stitch this in front of a fire this Winter. It is due to arrive next month so I will have plenty of time…

Misty Purcell’s latest designs are so sweet. Why not tuck them in unexpected places to add a touch of charm to any nook or cranny. In her words:

These chubby birds are looking for a sweet treat! They’ve landed at the bee skep to see if the bees will share a bit of delicious honey with them

Gathering Honey

Turkeys aren’t normally cute, but at an antique shop a few years ago I came across the most adorable appliqued turkey I had seen. He became the inspiration for this design. My turkey is feeling thankful that he is so handsome, no one could bear to eat him!
