We have two new designs releasing this month and the first is True Love:
I love the sort of "chocolate box" feel of this little sampler. It's got an old fashioned feel and come on, that row of stars is so fun! It would be simple to personalize this design with different hair color for you and your sweetie.
I chose a deep frame for the model to emphasize the chocolate box feel. And let's face it, that beautiful warm pink linen can warm up even the coldest and grayest of days!

Order yours from your local or online needlework shop!
Supporting our cross stitch shops and community is a primary concern for me, so I always encourage you to purchase my designs from your favorite local or online needlework shop. It's for this reason that you won't see my newest designs available for sale on my own website for a few months after they are released.
Check out our Needlework Shops page to find a shop near you, or an online shop.
I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my blog, where I ramble on about stitching and sewing and anything else that catches my fancy!
I love quiet colors, gentle stitches and making things by hand.
