Sandra Sullivan has been designing primitive Americana cross stitch for over 20 years! She has a distinctive, gentle, and relaxing style that is timeless! We have begun to highlight some of the more recent favorites... samplers, stockings, ornaments... lots of variety! Deep, country colors of browns, taupes, rusts, golds, and cremes... they fit almost any decor. Most are available as leaflets. Now Sandra's daughter, Hollis, has also joined her under the name of Hollis Designs.


Oh Sweet Berry Pouch from Homespun Elegance - click to see more Oh Sweet Berry Pouch
This is a pretty strawberry... small, it measures 29 x 46 without the border. Sandra has put it on two different counts of fabric - the 20ct version COULD use #5 Pearl Cotton, but both are shown stitched with DMC and hand-dyed flosses.

The gold 'seeds' could be beads on either count! Just a pretty berry, I think just by itself, it'd make a pretty pin cushion. Presented as a chart, no embellishments are included.


Here He Comes... 2020 Avery's Ornament from Homepsun Elegance - click to see more Here He Comes... 2020 Avery's Ornament
Personalize this with your favorite little girl or boy's name... the verse reads "Here He comes bringing joy to a sweet little boy (or girl)," then your preferred name.

Finishing approx 3 x 4, Santa is flying through the air above the village - but the lights are still on in the windows... so you'd better stop stitching and get to bed quick! Presented as a chart, coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. Add a star embellishment from your stash if you want that extra touch.

2020 Releases: Snow Joyful and Santaville
A cute design hasd arrived in plenty of time for next Christmas! All are charts, with embellishments suggested, but not included.
Santaville is cute! It measures about 3 x 15 on 18ct linen over two, and can be stitched with #5 Pearl cottons or flosses. Sandra suggests you to finish it into a drum or windowsill tuck... it is embellished with buttons on both ends... the tiny sheep are only 3 stitches high and the snowman is only 7!


Peace To One and All from Homepsun Elegance - click to see more Peace To One and All
A peaceful pastoral scene... you could fall asleep counting all those sheep! At first, I thought this was Christmas... but there is green grass... and the title talks about A Summer Landscape.

I love that small scenery at the bottom... you could even leave off the wording! Offered as a chart, the entire piece finishes approx 5 x 7 on 30ct.




Olde Brass Buttons
This is a wonderful collection of heavy, antiqued brass buttons designed by Sandra Sullivan. Embellishing most of Homespun Elegance's designs, these buttons are just awesome! Heavy on the weight and primitive feel, you can use these on so many projects, they look really good with overdyeds and wools. We've shown the entire collection here. Each button is available individually, so enjoy shopping!!!



We Will Adore Him
A primitive Nativity scene, stitched on 18ct Natural Linen in overydeds and Wisper threads, this finishes approx 8 x 12. Featured are five antiqued brass Homespun Elegance buttons -- very subtle. The sheep are stitched in Colonial Knots, for a raised, bumpy look, and the angel's collar is stitched in Lazy Daisy Stitches. Very pretty, lots of Molasses, Maple Syrup, and Chestnut colors! Available as the leaflet, we have the buttons as well.
