Anyone got the pattern from the kit called Early Shift from Heritage Stitchcraft that they are finished with and want to sell. I don't want the kit because I am thinking about doing it in needlepoint. It is a scene of coal miners going to work and done in sepia. It is rarely listed on eBay and always as a kit. I have never seen it in the stores here in Canada.
Hi Anne - I am sorry, I stitched this pattern but no longer have the chart. I did get it in chart form though. I know that most of the UK stores sell the Heritage designs as kits. I can't remember where I got the chart either. I am no help at all except that I wish you well with finding it. I think it would look great in needlepoint. One thing though - like many other Heritage designs, it has stitches that are not just 2 threads x 2 threads. There are some that are 4 threads tall x 2 threads wide, some that are 1 thread tall by 2 wide, etc. I don't know how this would affect conversion to needlepoint.

I have it.
I will gladly send it to you. e-mail me @ emashmore(at)mac(dot)com with your address.
See my piece at:
Britstitch is an excellent place to get into trouble
CI just emailed Heritage to ask if it`s still available in chart only. If it is, I can get it for you, if you like.

I've picked up a couple, the Sepia Canal Crossing, also the two 'castle ruin' patterns Dawn Mist at Eilean Dolan and I can't recall the other at the moment.
All charts only. I got them from Golden Threads
The Catherine Agnes slide show - with all the variations - is great. I seem to have an addiction to Indigo Rose pieces - and hadn't seen this worked in so many ways. I'm pretty sure that in the shop we did a box top for someone with this in it. Box-top, or frame - with some nice piece of fabric slipped behind to show off the cut-work areas.
Your site is truly well done. Just a MAC question - did you do it using the iWEB blog feature? Been dabbling with putting my .mac site together, and wondered.
Thanks for sharing, Ellice
Ellice,
Yep, that's exactly how I did it. When the group of us were working on Catherine Agnes, I set up a group in iMac to post WIP photos and tips and to give us a group e-mail. It was so much fun to manage, I invested in iLife to get the iWeb software.
It's very flexible, you can have blogs and photo albums and info pages all in the same site (mine has two seperate blogs--one for finished pieces and one for my journal--and multiple photo albums) or divide them into seperate sites. The styles available are a little limited, but they are fairly easy to change and you can mix and match within the same site.
I recommend investing in iWeb if you already have the iMac account to support it!

p.s. thanks for the kind words about the site!
Lovely work - and I *love* Ezmeralda's house! Where did you get it? And how is the ghost done - you stitch over it twice or a lighter thread?
I would love to do this piece in surface work . . .
