Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum's designs are loved by all.  And although one person could never stitch all of them, there is a great desire to posses everyone.

I believe this is not just because they are primarily composed of full stitches, with few 1/4 stitches and very little backstitching, but more so because of Marilyn's emphasis to fine detail.  The flowing gowns of her Angels & Victorian ladies, the delicate faces, and fabulous use of colour, makes every one of her designs a winner. As Marilyn states " because of the many blessings this work (designing cross-stitch) has given me, I feel an obligation to make each design better than the last.  When I design, I am still a stitcher.  There is a magic that happens, a peace that is like a thread running through the forest and I follow is with my heart."

Prices subject to change without notice

Gitta's carries all the supplies for these designs, with the exception of Wichelt fabrics.  All our models have either been stitched on Zweigart Linens/Evenweaves/Aida or Silk gauze.

We will gladly help you find a substitute for any item listed on the supply list.

* Although Marilyn intended her designs to be cross-stitched,  they look fabulous stitched in petit point on silk gauze.  To petit point use the Continental or Tent stitch - stitch all the full stitches first, then replace the 1/4 stitches with either a full stitch or omit it all together.   Backstitch with one strand,  and in some cases you may have to substitute the beads with petite beads.

For those of you unfamiliar with petit point please see our instructions under Products/Free Stuff/Petit Point
