Nashville also brought us some great new patterns from two popular designers: Bent Creek and Nora Corbett! Bent Creek's Seasonal Ewe collection features four amazing sheep done in over-dyed threads and celebrating the seasons we've all come to love. Each sheep has wool of a different pattern as well as flag accents to display your among your seasonal decor. A great idea for sheep collectors!
Nora Corbett has continued her Christmas Eve Couriers series to include not only Santa's reindeer (including that pesky Rudolph) but also Santa's Sleigh. Bearing the weight of gifts for children around the world, the sleigh appears made of wrought iron and features gorgeous ribbon accents. If you've already stitched the reindeer, definitely add this sleigh to your collection!
