I Couldn't Resist...

Brynwood Needleworks - Coming To America Kit

I don't usually purchase new charts these days. I still have hundreds that I love from my days as a shop owner. So many wonderful pieces, with not nearly enough time to work on them. However, when I see patriotic designs now, I look twice and decide whether or not I want to add them to my library. This kit was one such design.

This chart was designed by With Thy Needle & Thread, and I purchased it through Ye Olde Cross Stitchery in Bristol, PA. I believe this was a limited edition piece, so I consider myself fortunate to have found one. If you're interested, I suggest you order from this shop HERE. (Last I checked, there was only ONE left.)

The chart arrived in a sturdy box, and included additional items over and above the main chart. I'll need to add fabric and fibers, but I've got plenty of those things.

When I checked inside the box, I found a little, magnetic, Pilgrim needle minder; a ring to hold my threads, and a second free chart called "Celebrate Harvest" by Brenda Gervais.

There was also a card featuring an interesting history lesson, along with fabric that's been printed in an old ledger design; a bookplate to attach to the frame once the design has been stitched; and a ring card to hold the threads.

This is the full cover image for the chart. I love it. While I know that it's commemorative of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, we also live a short ten miles from Plymouth, Wisconsin. Sister cities, many miles apart. Even so, I know that I'll stitch this design in the next year, and then frame it for the farmhouse.
