I love the imaginary world of Fairy Tales and still have my well worn childhood books to treasure and bring inspiration to my designs. I am so happy to introduce a new series of Fairy Tale Princesses I’ve designed for Cross Stitch Gold magazine. Cinderella is the first of three and you will find her in issue #90. She’s filled with sparkling beads and shimmering metallic threads. For extra depth she is stitched on Polstitches 28 count hand dyed Fairy Dreams Jobelan. You can test out different fabric choices by going to Polstitches’ fabric viewer where you will find all of my fairies and goddesses ready to try out on Jo’s beautiful hand dyed fabrics. Also coming in future issues of Cross Stitch Gold are Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. What fun!

I saw the picture for this on a cross stitch site where it mentioned it would be in CS Gold and I told myself I had to get the magazine when available at Chapters… and to learn it’s also a new series by you, even better. OH HAPPY DANCE!!! I can’t wait for this and the new Garden Fairies.
(*Just started working on your “Celtic Spirit” Design)

hi, its me again and you got me thinking, i love fairytales too, my favourite book when i was a child was the enchanted wood, but thats not what i was thinking about or imagining, i was imagining a type of love scene of fairy’s, secretly meeting in the woods. I think that would be another stunning design.

Absolutely lovely! I can’t wait to see the others. I would love to see a Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland

Just received my subscription copy, and she is so gorgeous! There is a little pic of Sleeping Beauty, as well, and I love her; will you be posting a larger pic soon?

They should be sending me a proper photo of Sleeping Beauty this week and I will post it as soon as I get it
Feb 12, 2012 @ 08:20:31
I am new to your blog, but just wanted to say, wow, she’s stunning! I’ve been planning to stitch one of your designs for a while, and I think Cinderella may be the one!

Welcome…and thank you!

I have Cross Stitch Gold #90 on order from my newsagent, as well as Cross Stitch Collection #206 for your Ladybird Fairy. (I’m in Australia, so magazines go on sale here a couple of months after they’re published).

Did you say a Sleeping Beauty one too??!!! A big smile just came to my face. That Disney movie is probably my favorite of all. I will be frequently checking Barnes and Noble for that issue! I love Cinderella too. I will have to have her too.
You do such lovely work.
