~ Welcome Mary Mustardseed ~

Welcome dear friends.

My feathered Studio friends have all gathered 

together to help me introduce my 

new release today!

Scattered Seed

I Sow For Thee

Oh Gather Birds

& Sing For Me

Original verse by

 Tammy Black ©2014 Scattered Seed Samplers

 First we want to tell you about Tammy's Grandmother....

This is Tammy's Grandmother when she was a young girl...

Lovingly, Mary May Robbins

Tammy is always telling wonderful stories of spending lots of

time on her grandmother's farm, and all of her fondest

childhood memories were working side by side

with grandma.

They spent lots of time outside gardening, feeding the birds, 

ducks, and chickens....always scattering seeds of 

Love

Joy

Peace

Patience

Kindness

Goodness

Faithfulness

Gentleness

& Self Control

This is why the boss chose the name 

Scattered Seed Samplers

....and her emblem lady is in memory of her Grandmother,

which she has named

Mary Mustardseed

Finally, lets please introduce the new sampler.....

Model was stitched on 32ct. Belfast Linen ~ Heritage

Overdyed threads were used on the model, 

and the DMC alternatives are also provided on the pattern.

Next year I hope to start a pattern series after Mary Mustardseed.

Mary Mustardseed is now available in my Etsy shop

www.etsy.com/shop/scatteredseedsampler

Hope you like the new sampler?

Do you also have fond memories of leaning to sew from your

Grandmother?

Look at what was waiting for me at the post office....

Overdyed Threads!!!

I had such fun organizing all the beautiful threads 

onto the large rings :)

I'm all set to include ~

 Classic Colorworks (CC)

Gentle Art (GA)

Weeks Dye Works (WDW)

Overdyed threads into designing my line of patterns,

and I'll always include the DMC alternatives :)

While I was sowing seed to the birds this morning, I happened

to notice several different bird nests in my Lilac bush....

They're so easy to spot now that all the leaves are gone!

On Monday I'll share with you what I save during the 

Winter months to share with my feathered friends in the Spring.

*******

I'll also share on Monday some news for my next 

sampler.

*******

I started this post talking about my

Grandmother Mary May, but there was also a second

very special Mary in my life, and that was my

mother who was named after my Grandmother.

My mother as a young girl.....Mary Cynthia.

This Sunday, December 7th not only marks Pearl Harbor Day,

but also marks the passing of my dear mother seven 

years ago in 2007.

~ In loving memory ~

1937~2007

This little sampler is one of Black Bird Designs.

~ Weekend Soul Food ~

Sow to yourselves in righteousness,

reap in mercy;

break up your fallow ground:

for it is time to seek the Lord,

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

~ Hosea 10:12...KJV ~

Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend, 

and sow seeds of kindness in 

your corner of the world!

Blessings from Scattered Seed Samplers,
