* WaterMeadows Seasons Series

These designs for the Seasons of WaterMeadows, a fairy-tale village and castle of my own imagining, have gone through an interesting evolution in the last few years. 

In early 2010, I created them as stitched pictures for the panels on a needlework casket or treasure box sold by www.hand-dyedfibers.com.  Later, I began to modify them and then transition them into actual samplers complete with beautiful borders and accompanying  literary quotes.     

  

The WaterMeadows Seasons Series are being re-designed with changes to make them work as samplers.  The designs  more manageable: easier to stitch but still just as beautiful.  They include the addition of borders and literary prose at either top or bottom.  As  they are stitched, I will offer it for release to shops. 

Wintery Moon in the Round

 

This year, February 2011, I released a round, slightly smaller version of called "Wintery Moon".  

Autumn Nodding

In August 2011, "Autumn Nodding" became available to shops.

Moonlit Skaters

In September 2011, I released the larger,  square version of  the winter scene with the castle in the distance.  It is entitled "Moonlit Skaters" so as not to be confused with the round design, "Wintery Moon (in the round)".

"Spring Inspir'd Stitcher" will be out sometime late next year, 2012 if all goes well on the stitching, and sometime after that, the final design in the series, "Summer Duet". 

I have the full set of panels originally designed to fit Vikki Clayton's Needlework Casket. However, a number of stitchers have purchased that set with the plan to have their favorite wood worker friend can build them a treasure box to their own specifications. They will then modify my panels to fit but changing the fabric count.
