My Kitchen is Done!
By Kathy Rees |
Finally, my kitchen remodel is done! Everything is new except the actual cabinets – they were painted and a few slight changes made, mostly to the inside of the pantry. The cabinet doors (all 29 of them!) were replaced and hardware added. Floor tile, marble countertops, glass tile backsplash, sink and faucet, and new appliances…

It will be no surprise to anyone who has done major remodeling that my kitchen isn’t done yet! It’s close – I just need cabinet doors and drawer fronts with hardware – maybe in another week. I am thrilled to have a sink and all new appliances though. On the design front, here is “Earth”,…

This is the last of the colorways completed – it’s called Glowing Embers and consists of Purples, Rusts, and Grays. Amy K. from Phoenix stitched it and brought it to the class I’ve taught the last few days in California at Needle in a Haystack. I was thrilled to see it in person! The pattern…

My Mystery class is finished – I sent the last lesson on July 1st. It was a six month class and the end was kind of bittersweet for me as I hit “send” to end the class. The best part is I can finally show my finished Starstruck! Below is the Greens/Blues version –…
Read More New Color Delights…Americana
By Kathy Rees |
You may be asking yourself when “Americana” became a COLOR?! I say now! I like to throw some different “colors” into my series of Color Delights to make you go hmmmm…. Occasionally somebody will tell me (or ask nicely!) what they’d like me to design for them. Americana came from one such “brainstorming session”…

I’m so pleased to show you photos of some of my students’ work! They’ve had such fun stitching Serenity and several have completed it. It’s such fun to see the different colorways come to life! First up is Pam B’s – it’s called “Flowers of Italy”. She was clever and added her initials to the…

I’ve been taking a break from designing to give my creative juices some rest and work in other areas of my life. It’s very strange to not have anything on the stretcher bars but it’s an interesting exercise to not design for a few months. I’ve not done this since I started designing. I decided…

To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, I share one of my best selling Color Delights – Shamrock! It was one of the first Color Delights designs I did and just made me think “Kelly Green” which took me to “Irish” to “St Patty’s Day” and voila, “Shamrock” because all of my Color Delights titles are one…

is the third and final release for Nashville. I’ve shared the progress of this and here is the final version – it ended up 10×10, mostly because I was out of canvas! As it was, I had to sew muslin around the edges in order to frame it! When I originally started stitching, I actually…
