Secluded Serenity with CD includes 23 embroidery designs, printable patterns, printable motifs for the 12 scenes such as Grist Mills, Lighthouses and Cottages to print on printer fabric.
In Secluded Serenity, you will find lovely, romantic scenes to create. I am definitely a romantic at heart. Throughout my life, I have had daydreams about Cottages, Sea Shores, Misty Mornings and Country Gardens. So it’s no surprise that I have a love of one of today’s most popular artists, Thomas Kinkade. His work is an inspiration to me. I can sit and look at his paintings for hours, imagining where the scene is, who is home in the cottages, what the people are like who live there...you know...just like you used to do when you daydreamed as a kid.

In today’s troubled times I think we all need a little time to reflect and to daydream about simpler, quieter times when we didn’t have quite so much to do. So it is with Secluded Serenity...Look through the book, peruse the CD, and decide which scene will help you sooth the trials of today by helping you create the beauty of tomorrow.
Come along with me while I explain and detail the uses for the information contained herein.

There are Cottages, Arbors, Grist Mills, Lighthouses, a Covered Bridge and several skies for that special touch and many more things that will make working and designing with this book, an exciting, creative journey. All of the images are hand painted by me. They are there in a pre-sized PDF format and also in 300 dpi jpegs for those of you who want to step out of the box and create your own scenes. 
You will also find basic instructions for working with your computer to get the best quality when printing on fabric sheets…creating your own fabric sheets with Bubble Jet Set 2000, using the CD-ROM, creative ideas for using your embroidery designs, also, lots of great hooping and stabilizing directions.
