The canvas is from Patty Paints and Pat's guide is now available.

Patty Paints Nutcrackers

The designer Patty Paints has a wonderful series of monthly nutcrackers, each with their own stitch guide.  I stumbled across them on the Fireside Stitchery website.  The series starts at the link below and continues on the next page.  (By the way, Fireside changes around their pages a lot so if this link doesn't work, try a search for Patty Paints designs, then look through all the results.)

The nutcrackers are also on the Patty Paints website.  Click on the thumbnail photos to see a larger photo of each stitched.

Another Lady of the Night (UPDATED with More!)

Pat Miller (The Needleart Nut) has just released the stitch guide for Morgana, one of Leigh Designs' Ladies of the Night series.  Are they vampires?  Or just very very odd?  I am not sure except I know she likes candles and spiders and wine!

AND Pat has done three other stitch guides.  One is for Painted Pony's Sand Castles and Seashells Angel, one for Patty Paint's ABC Schoolhouse (and its cute sheep), and the last is also from Patty Paints. This one is the Princess Sleeping design with the cute little girl napping on her bed.

Pat has been busy, hasn't she?

Patty Paints with Stitch Guides

The charming Patty Paints website has a nice stitch guide page that has thumbnail photos of some of the canvases that have stitch guides.  Click on the tiny photos to have a better look. The list of canvases at the top of the page to the right of the photo are the various categories of her canvases.  I think --but don't quote me on this!-- that only the little thumbnail canvases have guides but they are included in the price of the canvas.

Patty Paints usually creates small, simple designs that are perfect for fancy stitches and creative embellishing.  I love her mermaids in particular (they are in "Beachy") but I think her hilarious animals, the nutcrackers and the wonderful Stirling bag inserts are her most popular designs.  Have fun browsing, whether there's a stitch guide available or not.
