Nightingale

Florence Nightingale revolutionized nursing with her round blue diagrams called blue roses. Her dress is a myriad of blue patterns that gleam like china. It is said that she gifted a friend a delft blue and white vase. She carried a lantern at night to attend to the sick and wounded. The same light that radiates in all nurses and caregivers everywhere.

Portrait Queen

A lady of regal manner born meets your
gaze as you ascend the staircase.
What does she know? What secrets
are hidden beneath the rose vines?
They climb the brocade frame as if it were a
forgotten castle. Maybe the answer is under
the layers of oil paint that define her neck.
She’s ready to whisper to you.
While you stitch she quietly tells you…

Lavender Mist
The Rose Society on “Lavender Mist”
This pattern is an eclectic mix of art nouveau and floral design. A carefully chosen palette of greens and violet glow on the linen, “Lavender Mist”. The rosarian is adorned with French pearl jewelry as she examines her bunches of blooms. A truly one of a kind design created for the discerning stitcher of fine art pieces.

Tea in the Garden

Mirabilia Designs requests the honor of your
company for a tea party amoung the flowers.
Wear your frilliest frock and stitch the afternoon away. This event is to be held on the first warm spring day and continuously throughout the summer.

Rosamund

She has been called Talia, Briar Rose, Rosamund and The Sleeping Beauty.

There are many versions of her story. Here she is draped in delicate violet and lavender quilts. She is wrapped in ribbons. Crystals accentuate her linens. She dreams of roses cascading castle steps. The myth of the sleeping princess will forever enchant us.

Blossom

To blossom is to burst forth with beauty and energy. It is a flurry of new life and electric beginnings. It is also a small flower that appears in the spring. This design is inspired by the hope and joy blossoms bring.

The Snow Maiden

Her name is Snegurocka. For many years, there have been plays and music written from this Russian fairy tale about a girl made of snow.

Botanical Garden

Behold the lovely lady of the Botanical
Garden – wandering in a fragrant
oasis of roses and jasmine.
The kiss of the sun seducing lacey leaves
and waves of flowers. She dances in the
celebration of the glorious gifts of the earth.

Starlet
This studio couture work of art is a show stopper. The gown has an open back with fitted waist. The draped satin is in vibrant plum and magenta. Poised for the most memorable speech in Oscar history,
she portrays a little old school glamour
in full bloom.

Miss Dancing Flower
Please enter into her ultra-vivid world of French blues, wild orchids and scented jasmine.
Stay for awhile lost in her patterned dress and blowing ribbons.
Let these soul blossoms brighten your day as they lace through your needle and flutter across the linen.

Princess Elliana
A design like no other. She has all the new DMC colors on her fanciful frock. Patterns in her gown are inspired by the delicate florals on the tea sets at the Ritz-Carlton in NYC.
Her billowing gown is inspired by Renaissance paintings at the Metropolitan Musem of Art.
Her exquisite hair ornament and flowing ribbons are perfectly designed to enchant and delight.
