And Other Cool Stuff From Charland Designs
These sterling silver charms are the coolest! They are tiny silver stitches that are perfect on a necklace, charm bracelet, a sampler, a special stitching basket or needlecase... just anywhere! So fun to collect, because they're affordable, and make great gifts for your stitching friends. And what a great conversation piece!
We have a framed display in the shop, and have photographed them on our display to show you. Kind of hard to decide on only one or two... so get a bunch! Maybe treat yourself to one or two a month??? |
 A Stitcher's Heart Needle CaseThis is a complete kit to stitch and assemble a folding heart-shaped needle keep. Working on 27ct Linda in rose and berry colors of hand-dyed Silk 'n Colors threads, you're berries are accented with Rhodes Hearts of Size 10 silk perle cotton! Nothing about this case is too involved -- it just looks that way! Stitched area is approx 5 x 5-1/2. After that's finished... all the rest of your finishing pieces and materials are ready for you!  Included is a Charted Imagery Pop-Up Heart Sewing Case finishing kit, of pretty lining fabrics, organza ribbons, batting, and all the pre-cut heart shaped board pieces. You'll notice in our pics that the bands inside don't line up as well as they should -- yours WILL look great! All the boards are covered with the fabrics, those bands added, and assembled together (by glue OR hand) to form the cool folding case! The stitching is easy, colors wonderful, case -- really cool and different! (At The Silver Needle, we are addicted to twisted cord trim on everything. Think about that, with a pretty tassel down at the bottom!!!) Complete kit contains the charts, fabrics, threads -- just everything!
|
 Garden Needlehouse Scissor CaseRoses, bees and herbs -- tiny bits of them decorate this springtime scissor case. Very easy stitching on 27ct white Linda cloth (like Lugana), this is done in DMC and Weeks flosses -- no special stitches. Finishing instructions, interfacing and lining fabrics are included to make a small pouch for scissors... and there is a wonderful sterling silver charm of garden scissors to attach as a decoration. Even that pretty floral lining fabric is included, so you can make this in a jiffy -- having all the
ingredients at hand! Charted alphabet is included for personalization, as
well.
|
 Haunted Needle HouseCharland has been busy again designing another miniature house Etui -- a little sewing case! This kit is full of stuff, and I think it weighs at least a full pound!! You stitch the four walls of the house, the roof, and interior needle pages, cover all the pre-cut boards with the provided fabrics and puffy linings, tack the pieces together, and you have a darling little house that is folded and held closed by the removable roof piece! Her kit contains the charts and finishing instructions, the pre-cut house pieces, the 28ct Jubilee fabric, all the necessary flosses -- both overdyed and DMC, ribbon and a sterling house charm. There are areas on the house that would be perfect for extra charms -- like Charland's spiders and grave stones -- you could get really carried away with this! Anyhow, it's real cute, a companion to her Garden Needle House, and measures approx 3-1/2 x 5. And who knows... if you make some really bad stitching mistakes or do a sloppy finishing job... you could REALLY HAVE your very own Haunted House!!!
|
Fall SachetHere's a cute little bag stitched on the front, and filled with Charland's
mix of Pumpkin Pie Potpourri! Stitched on 28ct Sage linen in orange,
green, yellow and purple overdyeds, the complete kit includes a sterling silver Jack-o-Lantern charm, as well! Cute and Quick, this not only smells really good, it's a darling 3 x 4 bag when finished!
|
Rose Charm Holder
 Charland designed this exclusively for The Silver Needle... a beautifully detailed charmholder that features three roses hiding the pin attachment behind it. Untuck the twisted bar, and thread on charms of your choice -- the stitches, quilt blocks, knitting things, or any of the other darling charms we have... and you have a really neat stitcher's piece of jewelry!!!
(You can place a colored bead between the charms on the bar to separate them a bit... anything will do, as long as the hole is large enough to fit around the twisted bar.) We wanted something special to show off all the cool stitcher charms she has, and this is perfect! It measures a little over 1 inch!
|
Garden NeedlehouseMs Charland has been a busy lady, she designed and stitched (herself!, she told me!) a darling little needlehouse, complete with sterling garden shovel charm! I know you've seen this house template, each piece of the house is stitched and lined, and removing the roof opens up each of the 'flaps' inside!
Offered as a complete kit of all the charts, 27ct White Linda Cloth, DMC flosses as well as Weeks, Crescent and Needle Necessities overdyed flosses. The complete house kit also contains assembly instructions and pre-cut boards, ribbons, all the fabric linings shown in the pic, and that darling little shovel charm designed by Frank of Mosey 'n Me... whew, I'm out of breath! 
Definitely a read-before-you-start-this kit... it is just
darling! Our pics show you some of the details! There is a spot for a
thimble, areas to store needles, a place for scissors... you stitch
everything first, them assemble each piece and attach together. Great
details about all that in here! Very pretty, delicate pinks, lavenders and
greens, the little closed house finishes approx 3-1/2 x 5 inches.
|
Little Measure
How much classier can your stitching bag get than a sterling silver ruler measurer??? Charland has created a miniature ruler that is just an inch long!!! Use it as a charm on your necklace... but better yet, attach one to the inside of a favorite needlecase or chatelaine! You can ACTUALLY USE THIS to measure stuff!!! You know how you need to measure 3 inches over and down to begin the project... and you don't have a ruler in sight??? This little dream is perfect! They've even engraved the reverse side with a tiny floral border! Very miniature, very cute, very USEFUL!!!

The Empress Thread Cutter
 Oh, such a pretty thing, this is a miniature sterling silver thread cutter! Designed and manufactured by Charland, this measures a mere 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and has a flower on one side, and a Celtic Knot design on the other. Small enough to be a charm, but large enough to slice your threads... this is a beautiful piece of jewelry! Wear it on a chain, add it to your stitches charm bracelet or necklace, use Charland's Little Clipper to attach it where ever you like... even inside a prized stitched sewing case! So pretty and classy... A DEFINITE 'have to have!'

Hip Hip Hooray!
A simple design, (click the image at the right to see it) available in a card format features THE MOST darling sterling silver moveable Uncle Sam charm! Designed by Frank Bielec of Mosey 'n Me, Charland has created a chart for the sterling charm that measures almost 1-1/2 inches tall. His little arms and legs move, he has striped pants and a big star on his chest, along with a jump-ring off his hat, so you can attach him to needlework, a necklace, pin, or just someplace really fun! Extra Uncle Sam charms are available, too!

Side By Side
from Just Nan and Charland Designs
The 2003 friendship collaboration from JN and Charland this year's design is a lovely, delicate band sampler full of special stitches and bold raspberry and lavender colors! Finishing approx 3 x 12 on 28ct Cashel Linen, it's stitched in flosses with touches of Vintage Violets Silk 'n Colors thread and Mill Hill beads -- they're the bird eggs in the teeny nests! The border features hidden motifs and places to add your initials and those of your stitching friends... but they look like they belong to the piece!!! The crowning feature, however, is the really cool sterling charm that's included. Charland's is a bird perched on a needle. So is Nan's... but the needles slide together, so the birds share the same stitching branch!!! Very detailed, very delicate and pretty... birds of a feather really DO stitch together!!! Kits contain both designers charts, both sterling charms and touches of overdyed silk and glass beads. Don't forget to check out all the other new releases from this batch!

Chatelaine of StitchesA pretty sampler of 14 hearts -- each heart is stitched in pastel
shades and features a specialty stitch or two. Then, after your needlework is finished, each heart is a showplace for one of charland's sterling silver stitch charms! (Kind of a fun way to show off the
sterling charm of the stitch featured in the heart!) The kit includes antique white linen band, the green overdyed flosses called for, and one beautiful little sterling heart charm, with a needle tucked
through it. Take a look at the rest of the charms in the collection, so neat! It's fun to choose a set for your sampler! Finished chatelaine size: approx 3 x 46.
