Summer is one of my favorite times of the year— the long days, the bright skies and the opportunity to spend long weekends relaxing in the warmth of summer’s sun. I grew up spending summers at the beach, so I associate summertime with the water, but I know others associate it with mountains, vacations abroad and even “vacations” taken close to home. That’s why I’m so excited about the travel-inspired projects in this issue. Bright, vibrant colors take center stage in Venice on page 61, and the rugged beauty of the northeastern coastline is captured flawlessly in the Cape Cod Summer design on page 20. And since summer also brings us multiple patriotic holidays, I am excited to showcase three designs that feature the red, white and blue festivities, including the Flowers & Flag Hornbook & Pincushion on page 44 and the Fireworks Tag on page 68. This last project combines perforatedpaper stitching with easy card-making techniques and creates a fun and quick-to-finish project that I know we all enjoy. I encourage you to try the techniques used in this project for other holidays and themes too. Also in this issue is the much-anticipated Christmas Ornament Preview. This is the ninth year that we have asked a sampling of some of your favorite designers to design an ornament for the preview issue. These designers graciously agreed and have come up with nine amazing designs that will surely whet your appetite for holiday stitching. Go ahead and get a jump-start on the season by beginning a few of these now. The compact sizes of these ornaments make them perfect for taking along on that summer vacation. I hope you enjoy the summer and your vacations. Take some time to stitch outside this summer and feel the warm breeze as you pass needle and thread through fabric. Take advantage of those long days and sunshine after work; I know I will. And take a minute to check out our Facebook page. Type in “Just CrossStitch magazine” in the search box and “like” us for updates and free patterns, and to share more on your summer stitching. Happy stitching!

No matter what the season, Cathy Habermann of Hands On Design finds a reason to celebrate. Whether the winter winds are whipping snowflakes through the air or the dog days of summer have wilted every flower in sight, the Iowa designer will find the precise words and creative images to translate an otherwise mundane moment into a stitched memory. Cathy has a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, and she has seen all sides of the needlework industry. Today she shares original designs with the world via Hands On Design, a home-based company with a vibrant blog presence where she discusses personal milestones and musings with the stitching community. “Color and detail are a great part of who I am,” Cathy explains, noting that she clearly remembers her first entry into the needlework world at age 9. As a child, Cathy, her mother and two older sisters often visited fabric stores—“wonderful fabric stores with great crafts departments. I actually did more doodling as a child than stitching, but I was given

Hands On Design:

Bringing Life to Every Season

By Vickie LoPiccolo Jennett

permission at the time to buy my first cross-stitch kit. I spent my birthday money on a $13 kit. My mother said, ‘If you are going to get it, you have to finish it.’ That took a couple years, but ultimately, I did finish it. It might have been easier if I had read the directions, but I just looked at the pictures without bothering to read the instructions, and I went on stitching from there.” Thankfully, she did! Actually, Cathy thinks she was probably a natural at needlework. A few years after buying her first kit, she walked up behind her mother, who was working on a needlework project, and looked over her shoulder. “Can you believe I told her she was doing it wrong? She put it down and said, ‘You can do it.’ And I did.” Much of Cathy’s formal needlework training came when she joined a needlework guild shortly after she and her husband, Bill, were married 26 years ago. At age 23, she heard of the Oatlands Chapter of the Embroidery Guild of America (EGA) from “a friend of a friend of a friend.” And, as the youngest stitcher

in the large chapter, Cathy “learned quite a lot from the members and from the many national teachers who came to offer workshops. The different techniques opened doors for me,” she explains. Not only did that experience open the doors of stitching for Cathy, but also the doors of organizing a business. When serving as co-chair of the chapter’s exhibition, Cathy realized how much she enjoyed the details of planning, lining up a schedule and attention to detail. As co-chair, Cathy was also thrilled to stay for the judges’ luncheon. “I was always fascinated by their comments, often the little things about needlework; they were amazing learning experiences. “Then we moved to Florida, and when my job dried up, I found myself with a little time at home to create handmade Christmas gifts. That was my first entry into design, roughly 22 years ago. As time went on, the instinct to create became a little more honed in me, and when we moved to Iowa 20 years ago, I thought it would be neat to open up my own shop.”

Cathy did open that shop, on her youngest son’s 3rd birthday. “I had that shop for nine years,” she notes, the first three in the lower level of their home and the last six in storefronts. “As most shop owners will tell you, it’s like adding a third, fourth and even a fifth child.” So, as Cathy’s sons got older, family activities replaced the shop (where she was chief instructor, finisher and bookkeeper), and her finishing and design business took over. “It was a hard decision, but I wanted to be free for the things that came up in their lives.” A piece of nostalgia now, the “Hands On Needleshoppe” sign still hangs in her garage. Describing what she does to non-needleworkers can be a challenge for Cathy. “My husband is an accountant. Most people understand what that entails. But needlework design and finishing are a bit more nebulous. I look at things in terms of stitches,” Cathy explains. “I might be driving by a farm, alone on the road or in the shower; I think of something or I see a geometric pattern in the floor, and a design is born. I need to write it down, to sketch it out. I’m enjoying the process immensely. If a design doesn’t begin with a phrase, it begins with color, and the project builds itself around the colors. I love dense colors.” Often Cathy’s designs incorporate an original verse or phrase based on her theme, as well as two or three finishing options. Cathy’s “Owl Love,” for example, includes an ornament, a stand-up and a door hanger,

-

as well as phrases she created: “Owl always love you” and “Owl you need is love.” The verse in her “Proper Young Lady” was inspired by an antique sampler: “A proper young lady must learn her stitches, for then her life will be full of riches.” Thanks to the tutorials included in Cathy’s charts, that proper young lady also learns the fine art of finishing. “I really like finishing and teaching,” she explains, “I get creative with a shape, a style, trim, doodads and techniques. The finishing is so unique.” Her blog now includes a “Finish It Friday” segment with tips and tricks to make finishing easier for needleworkers. And of course, Cathy frequently posts photos of the custom finishes she completes for customers. As Cathy looks to the future, she especially appreciates camaraderie with other designers and creative collaboration. “We’re all trying to find our niche and to figure out what will give us the creative edge that will keep stitchers interested in needlework, and at the same time get new stitchers involved so our industry can keep going.” To that end, Cathy always tries to provide options that will make a project affordable to consumers. While she

prefers the color nuances provided by over-dyed cottons and silks, Cathy tries to provide a DMC conversion for people who prefer that option. Just as Cathy and Bill are adjusting to their new status as “empty nesters” with sons Chris and Billy off to college and work, Cathy believes the needlework industry will adapt to the changing market. “We need to keep it fun and fresh,” she adds, “to continue improving on what we do.” Although there is no “magic button” to push for answers, Cathy thinks that fun classes, kids’ camps, and projects that inspire younger adults might just help entice new stitchers to join in the creative endeavor of needlework.

Ja Ja Ja Purses and Needle Art Bags Tina Expanding Large Project Bag $94.00

When it comes to needle art bags, stitchers have a lot of options. But when only a well-designed, high-quality and conscientiously crafted bag will fit the bill, you needn’t look further than the Tina Expanding Large Project Bag from 3 Green Sisters, the makers of Ja Ja Ja Purses. This bag is spacious enough to accommodate nearly any project, yet it contains numerous smaller pockets, both on the outside and inside of the bag to make organization a snap. The expanding feature is held closed while not in use by a sturdy magnetic snap, increasing the array of uses. All Ja Ja Ja Purses are handmade from recycled or repurposed fabric. Some purses bring new life to vintage fabric, while others are composed of scraps, samples and ends of bolts generously donated by upholstery, drapery and interior decorating shops. And while utilizing fabrics destined for the landfill is great for the environment, it also means that nearly every bag is a one-of-a-kind treasure, handmade from a limited quantity of fabric.
