Our Auto-Ship Programs There are several on-going series of Cross Stitch designs that have become our customer favorites. They come from some of our favorite designers, and are released at regular intervals. | |||
Our auto-ship programs for these various sets let you be among the very first to receive them, as soon as they're released! We do add a nominal shipping charge to them, but since they generally go US mail, it's not cost-prohibitive each time. Choose several options with our autos:
(Note: if you purchase an auto-ship, it will show up on your order form as a "zero-cost" item, as we won't charge your credit card until we ship the kit.) | |||
 Announcing the 2009 SamSarah Alphabet BaublesBeginning October of 2008, the letter A is celebrated with a cute set of apples! Stitched on 28ct Red/Natural Newport Linen, it finishes approx 4 x 4, and requires a bitty 9 x 9 special cut of the linen. November brings us B -- plump little bumblebees! Each month, you'll get the chart, clay pack and cut of linen. The auto will go on for 26 months... so, if you don't want all the letters... just let us know which ones you DO want! And... if you STILL don't know... just watch the website every month for the newest! Prices TBA, but I assume close to the 2008 pricing. | |||
A Sneak-Peek at Sea to Shining Sea! fromCrescent Colours and Little House Needleworks Sharon Crescent of Crescent Colours has introduced her newest thread-pack series -- a collaboration with Little House Needleworks -- Sea to Shining Sea! This six-part series begins shipment in October with the Border Pack and West Coast designs, along with the necessary 8 yards of silks in each. Stitched on 32ct Natural Linen, in Crescent's Belle Soie hand-dyed silks, the stitched piece is VERY commanding, and finishes approx 15 x 7. November's shipment is the Southwest; December's kit: the Mountains; January's kit: the Midwest; and finally February's kit: the East Coast. We'll add you to our auto-ship, if you'd like... that way you'll get everything without having to remember to order every month! The frame is available, too... a Timeworn Ocean Tide teal color, by Crescent's Family Tree frame company. | |||
Biscornu Designs from The Sweetheart Tree This delightful set of designs is offered in kit format. Each Biscornu is stitched on both sides, and is deceptively easy to assemble. (Part of the charm of these, I think!) Each complete kit contains the charts, flosses, buttons and beads and finishing instructions. The Sweetheart Tree has a set of small matching scissor fobs that released the previous two years -- these pin cushions match all the fobs already released!!! Our Auto-Ship begins with kit #7... these 6 have already been released... and we figured it was time for an auto-ship!!!

Monthly Birthstone Samplersfrom The Sweetheart Tree Sweetheart Tree has released three delicate pieces to celebrate the months of the year! January features Garnets and Carnations. February has Amethysts and Violets. March includes Aquamarines and Jonquils. Each is presented in a 5 x 8 card format with a crystal Cabochon heart bead embellishment. They call for DMC flosses, a few seed bead embellishments, and feature some basic special stitches in each. All 12 will measure the same stitch count -- 38 x 101 -- so they finish approx 3 x 7. Very pretty birthday pieces for someone special, the charts are printed LARGE -- something like half-again the finished size -- so they are much easier to stitch from than a small card. They are lovely, so think about leaving out the month and stone name, and adding some names and dates!!! | |||
 Announcing The Garden Party!from Country Cottage Needleworks and Crescent Colours The next little 4-part set by Little House especially for Crescent Colours! This one begins after Little Women ends in September, and features 4 Garden Bugs! (Gosh, they should have done this one in February!!! I guess the Fall IS a really good time to stitch garden critters, so that *next* Feb and March... you're ready to decorate the house in style!) Like always, you'll get the chart each month, with 5 complete skeins of Crescent's hand-dyed flosses to stitch the design. September is Ladybug, October will be Dragonfly, November will be Butterfly, and December will be Bumblebee! Join this new auto for all... or just tell me which individual ones you want!!! | |||

 Snapperbets from Bent CreekOK... here's the next new set of Snapper designs! This one's pretty cool, different from the rest, and is scheduled to run this June till the end of 2008. A 7-part set of designs... part one is already HERE! It's a trifold leaflet thingy, that features a charted and embellished border (brown buttons and black snaps) that will surround a scattering of tiny motifs and letters of the alphabet! A, B, J and R are featured in this first piece -- you can see them in the pic. Due are 6 more CHARTS... (with a few snap embellishments) -- 1 chart each month -- for the next 6 months. (The first one is the main border; rest of charts won't cost as much... we expect $6.50.) Mike stressed to me that the entire piece IS designed... so they *think* they really can adhere to this 'rigorous' release schedule!!! The piece is stitched on the awesome 30ct Straw hand-dyed linen by Weeks Dye Works, and uses 13 different Weeks, Gentle Art and Crescent Colours overdyed flosses. The border embellishment pack COMES with the first design, and each chart has a few more snaps included inside... so we are pretty excited about this one!!! Finished size is a huge 29 x 7-1/2... so you'll see this baby on the wall! If your 'couch potatoes' are gentle... this would look lovely as a bolster pillow, too. Auto starts NOW! (If you aren't a linen stitcher... 14ct aida will work well for this, too, and actually, 10ct Tula would make this 11 x 43!!!) | |||

Loose Feathers 2008 from Blackbird Designs This is the beginning of the 7 piece set of 2008 Loose Feathers Samplers! Offered as small charts every other month... we will get 6 samplers this year, with a seventh *BONUS* FREEBIE design that will 'steal' a motif or two from each of this year's samplers -- to create another!!! It's a charming mystery, that will finish in November of 2008! You'll need each of the first 6 designs to stitch the final piece... so collect them as they are released! You may want each chart WITH the R & R hand-dyed linen... or charts only (we will not be able to match linen later on, however...) ... so think, and decide! The first design -- Where My Heart Blooms -- speaks of home, and celebrates nature and gardens. It finishes approx 9 x 10 on 30ct Korty's Special Blend hand-dyed linen, and is stitched in Weeks and Gentle Art overdyeds. Sooo pretty! | |||

Announcing the *Over The Top* Tin Series! SOLD OUT!!!  Jingle * Hop * Sizzle * Boo! 4 Seasons of charming tins and scissor fobs... this is Nan's 2008 set -- very limited in edition! Only 900 of each produced, they are already sold out from Nan... so we cannot expand the allotment I chose at Market! Beginning with HOP (Nan was so funny when she explained that linguistically, the syllables rhymed better when the series was named with Jingle first... but she is simply breaking the
rules by starting with Hop anyway!) Offered in 4 shipments... Hop being the premier... you are treated to a 3-inch round tin that stands 2 inches high. It is already decorated with the season's motif -- the paper having a heavy, coated, and glossy finish. Your job is to stitch the top, and mount the needlework to the tin lid, following Nan's finishing instructions. That kit includes the decorated tin, die-cut chipboard for lid. Hop ships in April. Sizzle in June. Boo in August, and Jingle ships in October.
NEXT, comes the *In the Tin* matching scissor or needlebook fobs (other two
projects TBA) to fit inside the tins! Those kits will include the graph,
finishing instructions, embellishments and closures, along with necessary
wools and interfacings. My gosh.. all of it was TOO CUTE... and simply a
*Have to Have!!!* I remember that there is a tin decorated with ladybugs,
and the Jingle one has some reindeer on it... and that Halloween was
darling... but I only saw all of it for a few minutes WHILE Nan was
talking... and I *had to listen* as Nan does not repeat!!!So... I have decided to offer BOTH kits together on our Auto-Ship... as one cannot have ONLY HALF the set! (trust me... you will never find all 8 parts if you don't get them as they're released!) We're taking reservations for the Auto NOW... for April and subsequent shipments. Over The Top and In the Tin... I am beside myself! Note: This series is sold out, but once in a while we have a cancellation, so it wouldn't hurt to give us a call and check! | |||

Beautiful studies in a tone-on-tone white and ecru! Finishing approx 5 x 5 each... they are absolutely beautiful... and a really good value, too! No word yet on how long it'll take to do the entire alphabet... we're starting an auto for the rest of these... because they are so neat.
