For all of you who love stitching Joan Elliot Patterns (I would but I can't handle any more addictions so have to enjoy watching others stitch these), 123Stitch now has these. I don't think they are a sale item, but that is about the first thing that I saw when I got their weekly ad. Not that I expect anyone to look at them, but just in case someone who doesn't get the ad is interested.

Thanks! I just received Earth Goddess this week. It'll be my first Joan Elliott pattern!

Earth Goddess I must get! I have the Water and fire Goddesses already but not a huge fan of the fire or air goddess anymore...

Oh how I love Joan Elliott I love how her shading is usually only 3 colors and lots of sparkles and beads.

123stitch has so many lovely designers on their site. Many of the designs also can be purchased directly from Joan's site too--I bought the petite angels from her last year!! Now to just find the time to stitch everything LOL

I just got a new project from the magazine to stitch and if you like beads and sparkle this Joan Elliott is going to be a stunner and love, love, love the Polstitches fabric they chose!

Good to hear Glen!! Look forward to that one then!

ditto!! I can hardly wait to see the one crafterglen mentioned. The ladybird one was fantastic!!

This is one more in that very series, have been stitching on her today and she is all sea green, jade, lovely pruply/jade clear light blue/greeny beads, this one is a dream to stitch and looks great too!

I love the Woodland Goddess design, except it looks a little odd to me how her head is turned. Not sure if that's a dealbreaker or not.

Is this the butterfly fairy that she has previewed on her blog? I've fallen in love with that one. Maybe for Big One's birthday next year (since she's getting ladybird fairy this year).

That sounds lovely Glenda. Those are some of my favourite colour combinations.

No not butterflys but not far away, think of water and what flies above it and looks all bluey/green and dazzling? My sister just saw what I have done so far and said the colours were stunning!

Dragonflies??@@!!!!!
