Welcome to Glendon Place - A cross-stitch and counted thread design company offering unique and finely-detailed charts for the most discriminating stitcher, as well as the occasional needleart enthusiast. Glendon Place offers designs in a variety of topics, which means you're sure to find something you like and just can't live without!! Some designs simply require ordinary floss and a solid color of fabric, while others are more challenging and suggest using an over-dyed fabric, and may incorporate variegated floss, metallic braid and embellishments such as seed beads, buttons or glass/crystal treasures. Choosing to stitch a Glendon Place design will result in a needleart piece of heirloom quality that will be enjoyed by you, as well as family and friends for years to come.   A Springy Greeting to All!   The annual Nashville Needlework Show for shops has come and gone and I must say that there was a positively uplifting air about the show.  Nashville is always exciting, but this show brought with it an extra boost of optimism. Shop owners definitely came to buy so they could bring some great new designs back to you.   I was especially eager to introduce the new Glendon Place mandala-type series called the A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection. I know that I have been dangling the carrot in front of your face the last couple of weeks, so I am eager to finally release them to you.   I hope you love them as much as I do.    GP-187 Cherries Jubilee GP-189 Plum Pudding    GP-190 Grasshopper Pie All the Mandalas in the A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection are stitched with 6 different colors of Dinky Dyes silk floss and have 4 colors of Mill Hill Beads added to provided that extra bit of sweetness.  I like to refer to the beads as the "whip cream on top" or the "icing on the cake!"   They are all around 200w X 200h. Since they are all the same size, they look great alone are as many as you would like to add to your unique collection. I purposely designed each of them with the same number of colors and beads so that, if for example, you like one design in particular but would prefer to stitch it in a different color scheme, the colors are already selected for you. Now, isn't that as easy as pie!   Each design also uses a special color of Picture This Plus hand-dyed 28ct Cashel Linen.  Anyone who has ever ordered fabric from this company directly, knows that any of their colors are available in a large variety of fabric types and counts. So, if you prefer Aida, it's easy to get, not to mention the excellent service they provide.    Dinky Dyes silk floss is available from your local needlework shop.  If you do not have access to a shop, the floss packs for these designs are available here on my website. Dinky Dyes does not sell directly to the retail public.   And Coming Soon ... When thinking through and planning this collection I realized that the possibilities are somewhat endless!  There are already two more designs in the stitching stage:  GP-188 Pumpkin Swirl (Orange and Cream) and GP-191 Strawberry Shortcake (Strawberry and Gold).  It kind of makes you hungry doesn't it?   Also on the horizon are:   Baked Alaska (Blue and White) Tiramisu (Cinnamon and Ivory) Red Velvet Cake (Red and Cream) Peach Melba (Peach) Bananas Foster (Yellow and Gold) Chocolate Mousse (Brown and Mocha) Creme Brulee' (Cream, Yellow and Custard)
