Designer's note: Can you believe that the Fragments in Time series is 10 years old!?! To celebrate this milestone here at the Summer House, I have created a series that celebrates my forebearers. It is a series of ancestral houses! 

Number Seven was my grandparents home for over 50 years. The Gothic Revival house was such a warm and inviting place and surrounded with a profusion of blooms thanks to my Grandmother's beautiful gardens. It is so full of memories, from card games and books to berry picking and cleaning fish! 

Number Eight features our first house, a cute, little 1940s brick cape cod. I guess I inherited a little bit of my grandparents green thumb, because we totally transformed the house with our gardens.

Stitch Count: 51 x 51 each 

Fabric: Models stitched on 40 ct. Colonial Parchment from Fabrics by Stephanie. I stitched them, so I used my favorite. They will stitch just fine on 32 ct. A fat quarter is needed for doing all eight Fragments individually or with the border. 

Thread (2 skeins of each color needed except Pewter if stitching full series): Classic Colorworks- Fresh Brew, London Fog, Deep Blue Sea; Weeks Dye Works - Bright Leaf, Red Rocks, Grasshopper, Moss, Linen, Collards, Curry, Pewter (DMC conversions provided)

As always there is a complimentary border pattern (stitch count 245 x 125) available from the designer's website!! All eight Fragments will fit into the border pattern, to give these versatile charts another finishing option.
