- Sail Away - This is a lovely sampler designed by Tina Richards Herman -- the Tina of Shepherd's Bush's Tina & Teri sister-team! Stitched on 32ct hand-dyed French Vanilla linen in luscious shades of hand-dyed silks -- from Thread Gatherer, Gloriana and Crescent, the colors are dusky, and weather-worn, just like you'd imagine an old seaside town to look. Finishing approx 5 x 14, it has lots of specialty stitches hidden in it's rows and charming little scene down at the bottom. One stitch is called the Indecisive Stitch! Satins, Herringbones, Captured Smyrna, Intricate Rice Variations, Triple Crossed Scotch, are some of the rest. In reading Tina's dedication at the beginning of the instructions... I realize that you need to hear a bit of her words... Being a mountain girl at heart, she needed to soul search a little to do this piece. She talks about 'how many women throughout time have sent their dearest ones across its fickle waters (the sea) clinging to the hope that they might meet again. I thought about women sending husbands, fathers, and sons away in ships and about mothers sending beloved children off forever to live in new lands. I did not come from sea-faring folk, but the ocean changed the lives of my grandparents -- and thus myself.' She goes on to talk about her sons going off to school in different cities, and how involved and busy they become -- away from Mom at home. She finishes with this: 'And I don't think I am so very different from all the women, as I patiently wait for each little ship to sail calmly back to my harbor.'
- Into The Night - Another fun Halloween design... Into the Night features a little sheep dressed for the holiday in a green floral cape! He's visiting a little graveyard that is actually full of happy pumpkins, striped and swirled squashes, a few bats, a lovely wrought iron fence, and another little sheep hiding behind a crooked tombstone! Offered as a kit, this is stitched on 32ct hand-dyed clay linen, and finishes approx 3 x 9-1/2. It's stitched in LUSCIOUS shades of Gloriana, Belle Soie and Thread Gatherer's hand-dyed silks. Pumpkin-y and mossy, the colors are just awesome! A few special stitches in here, too, Smyrnas, Herringbones, a few Cross variations... just bits here and there for a bit of texture and interest! REAL, real cute!

- Happy Haunting - 'Come away a 'haunting among the shadows deep making merry mischief then home to bed we'll creep!' A description of Trick or Treat nights of years ago...one of Tina's memoirs of those days dedicates this design. (I just remember not getting as much candy as everybody else... !) Our little trickster has her 'doggy-sheep' in tow... all decked out for an evening of merriment. She steps past the gardens and pumpkin patches, carefully avoiding that all-too-scary graveyard down at the bottom! An exquisite Shepherd's Bush design, this is stitched on R & R's 32ct Howling Moon Blend linen. A golden honey color, the silks included in the kit are Gloriana and Thread Gatherer - luscious colors of Autumn Grass, Tuscan Olive, Aged Plum, Rusty Amber and English Ironstone - to name a few - they are rich in color, so the finished piece POPS! A few special stitches, a darling set of miniature JABCO clay buttons in here -- a gravestone, bone, swirly gourd, buzzard and even a late blooming flower -- the whole thing finishes approx 5-1/2 x 14.
- Family Sampler - Shepherd's Bush is stepping outside their design circle by bringing us a Spot Motif Sampler designed to celebrate your family! I know that Tina loves Barb and Alma's design style from Blackbird Designs -- and this reminds me of that. She laughed when she told me at Market last summer that it's OK for designers to love other designer's stuff, and she was just compelled to do a Shepherd's Bush Original! I love it! Stitched on 32ct French Vanilla hand-dyed linen, this finishes approx 6 x 12. It is worked in SB's trademark palette of soft mauves, lavenders, moss greens and vanillas -- all hand-dyed silks from Crescent, Gloriana and Thread Gatherer. The charm package reminds me of the SB samplers from years ago -- it features exquisite mother-of-pearl buttons and little brass charms. 'These be my Blessings' is the featured verse. The idea with this piece, is to personalize, dedicate and celebrate your family. Tina gives insight into alphabet choices and dates you might want to incorporate... this is one of those pieces that you could stuff full of children's birth dates, weddings, anything you want! Lovely.
- Life and Liberty - Shepherd's Bush has outdone themselves with their Summer 2007 Offerings!!! Life and Liberty is one of 7... so check out EVERYTHING! Featured here, Life and Liberty is presented as a full-sized kit for the 6 x 6 patriot waving his grand flag! Stitched on 32ct Antique Ivory Belfast Linen in soft silk shades of butter, moss, grays, some roses... the kit includes 6 solid colors along with 4 shades of hand-dyed Gloriana and 3 shades of Thread Gatherer's Silk 'n Colors silk. The embellishment package has tiny Just Another Button Company treats inside, to scatter in the sky. What is interesting about this piece to me, is that the colors DO NOT scream red, white and blue!!! I see soft steel-blue-greys, and deep faded rose. Sophisticated Color! Anyway, a few special stitches... actually, quite a fun, quick piece! There is a mini scissor fob kit, designed to compliment the 2007 Gingher Glory Scissors... it features a version of this same little guy... brighter in color!
- Autumn Blessings - Autumn's blessings fine and free, make hearts sing and grateful be. I think that little hopping sheep has the singing heart! Shepherd's Bush's newest Fall piece, this is offered as a complete kit of luscious butterscotch, golden moss, taupe, rusty amber, and weathered plum silks to stitch on 32ct linen. The band sampler design has that darling sheep at the top, lots of rows of special stitches cascading down the piece, and incorporates a swirly pumpkin, green leaf and a black bird button.

Every year Teri says she lays out linen colors for Tina to choose from, and she NEVER chooses that yellow. That year at Market, Tina just smiled at us, started laughing, put her head back down to her work, and waved us to go AWAY! We think he would be cute - he could be named the Sunshine Snowman... and his little sheep could be dressed up with doggy ears on! Oh well... maybe next year! You can visit all 11 other colors farther down this page!
- Slate Snowman - We think this is the 8th little guy in this charming set of annual snowmen. He is presented as a full kit of gorgeous 30ct Weeks Dye Works Dolphin Linen, and includes 2 hand-dyed silks along with 7 colors of Weeks's hand-dyed cottons. Little buttons garnish, and even though the verse says In the bleak mid winter... there is nothing bleak about this! It's very cheerful!

The Gatherers - During the 1990s, Bush designed a series of 4 Gatherers. Four colorful, detailed pieces... they seemed to be giant extensions of the smaller designs they were also publishing. Sort of the 'corner-stones' if you will. Exquisite dress, borders, and companion sheep and gardens... each is prettier than the last!
Herb Gatherer came first... a mauve/lavender summer garden piece.
Next was Wool Gatherer... a companion in blue, teal, and taupe colors. He carries a pack full of real wool roving on his back!
Now, I don't remember my history well, because I THINK Toy came next. The Christmas version... Toy Gatherer is full of rich burgundys and deep greens.
Finally, we were treated to The Earth Gatherers. A springtime, pastoral scene... like all the rest, it features the backstitched background of light taupe, suggesting the setting for its Gatherer.
All offered as charts with embellishments, each lots of SB charm! Herb Gatherer (1990) measures approx 13 x 13, mat is arched, hand-carved and huge! Wool Gatherer (1991) measures the same size, same awesome triple, hand-carved mat treatment, only blues instead of mauves. Toy (1992) measures approx 10 x 8. Triple, handcarved and arched mat features hand-painting as well, and is also huge! Earthgatherers (1996) measures approx 12 x 18, and its mat features 4 layers, hand-carving and hand-painting! Stunning!
