I love everything by Lynette Anderson. she has a quirky style that is instantly recognizable – and always makes me smile. She combines embroidery with touches of applique to create stunning results. Green Thumb, her latest five month Block of the Month is due to arrive any day- and is sure to become a best seller
.
Buy then individually, or buy the entire collection:
Lynette uses Valdani flosses – and guess what! We carry that as well…..
The bench pillows by Kimberbell are one of my favorite seasonal projects because just one can transform a room – or a deck. At 16″ x 38″ they make an impact in any decor. An added bonus? A twin bed is 39″ wide so one across a child’s bed is a great way to spruce up a bedroom in an instant!
Now these patterns are available three different ways – in a traditional pattern; a machine embroidery CD; and a laser cut version so there is no reason not to start your collection today!
Did you know we actually have the pillow forms – and it is a Checker exclusive???
Why not make this the gift that keeps on giving? Give them the form and December pillow – and then send them the new cover each month!
