Sail Away

Some of you may have met this little guy before in your travels. 

You see, he first made an appearance back last year in Homespun magazine and finally he is ready to be added to the Cinderberry collection....so here is Xavier's story.

Xavier decided to paint his name on the bow of his wooden boat and go on a journey.  So with the wind in his sails (and scarf) off he went on a miniature sea adventure.

I told him to wear his coat and hat.  Because that's what Mother's do.

I worry.  Because that's what Mother's do.

I told him to keep the ducks alongside, because they know the way

and Captain 'Ahoy' Feathers is a keeping a watchful eye on him.

I believe he will be back before dinner.

 

This is the latest new pattern called 'Sail Away' and is perfect for boys (or girls!) - for something a little different I stretched this design over a ready-made canvas from the local art supply store and I LOVE the result.

It can be hung from the wall or placed on a bench top easel - if you feel creative enough you could even turn 'Sail Away' into a perfect boy/baby quilt by adding extra borders...hmm - the ideas are endless!

This pattern comes complete with the full alphabet so it can be adapted and personalised for your own little guy or girl - now Xavier can be named anything you please. 

So keep a look out for the new pattern to reach your local quilt store!  I have just added a new page to the blog called 'Stockists' or - where to buy patterns.  You can see the tab at the top right of the screen below the blog banner.

For any new or existing stores (bricks and mortar or online) selling Cinderberry Stitches patterns and wishing to be listed as a stockist on my site please send me an email - I would love to add your store information. Thank goodness my distributor handles the paperwork side of things (freeing me up to focus on design) but I generally don't get to know which new retail stores have Cinderberry patterns, so please tell me & make me smile xo

You can contact me at cinderberry@ozemail.com.au

Till then,

I love the little boy in his boat with the duckies along side. I would make it for ME to hang at our summer place for the grandchildren to enjoy when they visit. I would put their initials somewhere on the boat to make it really personal for them. Lovely stitcheries you do. Blessings: Dianne.

Oh Natalie, this one is just too, too cute! I will definitely have to make him up for my little two year old grandson. Hopefully I will be able to find it here in the states. Great job, as always!

Oh so gorgeous as always! I love the little ducks, and the stripey sleeves. And what a great idea stretching it over the canvas!

Natalie, I've adored this little guy since the first time I laid eyes on him... Such a sweet little face.

The little boy and his duck look sure to have adventures despite his mother's worry! The design is beautiful and whimsical Nat. Just lovely.
