Have you met Clara?

Excited to see the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of The Needlework Retailer in my post box this morning ~ extra happy to see this particular issue because it includes a plug for my latest Clara design, Clara's Knitting Sampler 1891.


For those not familiar with this publication, it's sent to Wholesalers & Designers as a showcase of new products. One of my distributors included this pattern of mine to advertise. Not only is it extra publicity for my designing business, (Yay!) but it is one of my favorite design ideas, Clara.

There are four designs centered around Clara ~ my maternal Great-Great Aunt Clara. She escaped Russia with her husband and came to the states in 1924. The designs are a journaling series embracing an era gone by in domestic sweetness. Look for another Clara design coming out later this winter! Currently, these are the patterns available:

Clara's Skating Sampler 1891
Clara's Worke 1891
Clara's Christmas Dance 1892
Clara's Knitting Sampler 1891

How thrilling for you. Congratulations! I like it
even more because now I
know that you've based the
designs on your own relative,
and what a story she would
have to tell! A job well done!
Hugs,
Susan

Congratulations Tanya. I have last evening completed this design and now I am knitting a bag to attach it to -to hold my knitting. I now have to dig in my Sampler Girl bag to find another design to stitch (I have a fewlol)
Thanks for designing such fantastic designs.
