Silver Needle Teresa Layman Designs Cross Stitch, Needlework Patterns, Leaflets, Materials and supplies from The Silver Needle, Tulsa

New from Teresa Layman Designs, this is an EXQUISITE set of miniature knotted rugs... perfect for a dollhouse, or even better -- framed and hanging with your favorite finished pieces!!! Joining our needlework industry, Teresa has been designing in the miniatures field for a few years -- and now we've discovered her!!! These tiny rugs -- 'My Cottage' measures a mere 3-1/8 x 2-1/4 -- are simply French and Colonial Knots with one strand of floss on sturdy muslin -- like weaver's cloth! The design is presented just like Punch Needle -- stamped onto the ground fabric. You stretch it tight in the hoop -- just like Punch Needle -- only this time work on the front of the piece! I've never been a fan of French Knots... but Colonials are a breeze... and we got to try it out at Market! You have the option of packing your knots in really tightly... or relaxing a bit... whichever you want!

Our models feature approx 1000 knots per square inch worked in Colonials, and 2000 per sq in worked in French Knots! Teresa promises stitching time per square inch runs between 3 and 6 hours, depending on which knots you use. So... 'My Cottage,' for instance, should take approx 22 to 40 hours. Offered as the design stamped onto the fabric, the needle is included, as well as complete instructions... written in the order of areas you stitch first. I cannot possibly describe to you with my words, how beautiful and charming these are. They have enchanted me... and I want EVERYBODY to have at least one to love and enjoy for years and years to come!!!

I'm knot happy! It's knot fun! I'm knot interested. Knot again! Knot your average stitch. Knot till the cows come home. I'm knot serious. I'm knot inspired. Knot until pigs fly. I'm knot impressed. Knot today! Knot till tomorrow. Knot necessarily. Knot a lot. knot tonight. Believe it or knot!

Packages include the pendant hardware!!! 1st Question answered! Only 1-1/4 inches in size, so they are GREAT beginner pieces!!! 2nd Question answered! Teresa's words of advice tell us NOT to begin with your very favorite design first, because you're just learning... and the first piece won't be your best.

All these pendant designs are really cute... but they are less than half the size of her regular designs, and offer instant finishing... so they are perfect *First Pieces!* The dragonfly uses a few metallics... so you might want to stick with the bunny and Rose Bowl first... but all are good first options!

An absolutely exquisite little hive, directly from Teresa Layman's incredible imagination... I am enchanted by this little cushion! It measures approx 3 inches high, and 2-1/2 inches in diameter at the base. The little box, which is decorated with Teresa's artwork, contains a styrofoam egg shape (of all things!) that is responsible for the shape of your hive.

The honey-colored fabric rope is already made, and you can see that it is simply coiled around the egg, being held in place with straight pins as you go around the egg. Next, blind-stitch the rolls together, so that you can take out the egg form. Then... the instructions explain the tiny padded satin-stitched 'doorway' and teeny-weeny Bullion Stitch bumble bees, along with their silk ribbon Lazy Daisy wings.

Next, that green fern thing -- which is all one piece, and ready to go, is tacked on, along with your tiny garden of little silk flowers. Put them wherever you want on there! Next is the round base, covered with brown velvet that is blind-stitched in place after you add a bit of stuffing to your hive for stability!

This is so precious... and since so much of it consists of ready-made component pieces... yours WILL look as pretty as ours!!! Complete kit contains all the construction instructions and stitch diagrams, egg form, base board and velvet, cotton covered cording, silk ribbon fern and flowers, needles, flosses and silk ribbon. Just Charming!

One of Teresa Layman's newest releases, this miniature gingerbread rug is exquisite!!!!! Your 5-inch circle of French and Colonial Knots is worked in gingerbread brown flosses, with accents of cream, black and reds. Stunning detail, such a graceful and flowing design... it's so classy! We've seen these pieces custom framed in such elegant presentations, they're too pretty just to leave out on a shelf to collect dust! Offered as the design stamped onto the ground fabric, ready for your tiny knots!

This is a charming family of 5 elves... all knotted in different colors... but all the same shape and size. Each is a special Christmas Character... and I just love their names! Milton Cookies, Rosie the Ribboner, Twinkle Toes, Cocoa Chanelf, and Peppermint Twister. Studies in shading, all are created with your tiny French Knots done with one strand of floss.

Offered as the line drawing on the base fabric, each finishes approx 1-1/2 x 2 inches -- a great ornament size. Their faces are sweet, costumes are delightful, their whole demeanor is one of Holiday Cheer!

This is a great way to try one of these little knot-work pieces... Hide 'n Peek is one of six designs that is offered with a small showcase pendant-type frame for finishing. Smaller in size than the rest of the knot work projects -- this is only 1-1/4 inches in diameter! You get to mess with some of this 'knot business', but KNOT by doing a 5-inch rug!!!

Package includes the pre-stamped design and little frame... you add the floss and knots!

1-5/8 x 2, This is full of pinks and reds... just charming! It would be perfect perched inside an open-book style picture frame -- opposite the special pic!

'Where did you come from, baby dear? Out of the everywhere, into the here.' Teresa Layman has brought us the most exquisite birth sampler announcement! It is cross-stitched on 36ct Cream Edinburgh linen in shades of DMC, Weeks and Gentle Art overdyed flosses. There is a special opening in the chart which is reserved for a miniature knotwork piece by Teresa called 'Fairy Godmother.' (Available with this chart, or separately) If you choose 'not to knot!' you can cut out the opening in the linen, hem the edges, and insert a photo of your special baby instead.

The main sampler is worked in blues and aquas, because of the colors of the Fairy Godmother showpiece in the center. If you really, really want more pinks... change the checkerboard blanket and baby's dress in the miniature knotwork portion, and adjust border colors in the sampler. Measuring approx 12 x 17, this piece is elegant and stunning -- we haven't begin to do it justice in our image, in fact. (Our fabric cut is a 'fat quarter yard' chunk -- more economical for you than the 18 x 23 cut!) Definitely at home in a 'decorator' nursery... and treasured forever... wherever its final hanging place will be!

Oh my gosh... watch the kitty... stalking the mice in the center of the garden! Hiding in amidst the flowers, ready to dash down the cobblestone garden path... those merry mice have no clue what awaits them! Teresa Layman's unbelievably small, perfect little knots create the most beautiful miniature creations... and this is no exception! Offered as the line drawing stamped onto the base fabric, simply 'paint by number' by filling in areas with French Knots, using one strand of floss. 'Impossible' you say... let her DVD tell you otherwise!!!

This is one of 5 precious designs -- I had a hard time choosing just one favorite to highlight in this pic that is a perfect trial size to actually finish!!! Necklace pendants display your 1-1/4 inches of miniature knots!!! Offered as the line drawing on base fabric, stitch your French and Colonial Knots according to the directions, and you'll end up with a lovely piece, suitable for framing, or wearing -- mounted into the brass hardware included in the package.
Sheepish Grin features a girly-sheep.
Bee & Thistle -- the matching bee to the other rug and scissor case designs in Teresa's collection.
Monogram Rose matches the rose rug we already have... and can feature the central initial of your choice.
Nuts for You has a darling squirrel and his precious acorn.
Daisies features simple floral against a rich black background.
Much smaller than the 3 x 4-ish rugs designs... get the DVD and one of these smaller designs... and you're on your way to becoming a 'Knotty Girl!'

2 Pair of miniature gingerbread houses... each tiny abode knots up to a whopping 2-inches square!!! Our model pics are shown in Just Nan's Whimzi Frames -- enameled with a red trim, and embellished with darling clay pieces that seem to have come right from the tiny houses!

(Note: Teresa used to create real Gingerbread Houses, and then write books about them. She has two published hard-back books with recipes and directions for several of her 'designer houses!') Anyway, you can knot four lovely little homes... too pretty to eat! Perfect for your tree, or a small, special spot on the thin wall... the detail in these is exquisite! Offered as outlined drawings of the two houses in each pack.

The new Whimzi frames are darling! Cherry-Red enamel, and that cute little gingerbread man or candy cane... I was just 'taken' with the fun frames! They're here now!

Finishing approx 3-1/8 x 2-1/16... the creams, lavenders and periwinkles, and soft greens in this piece are stunning. Very 'Country French' feeling to me, I see this in an elegant, chunky, oversized gold leaf frame... (hanging in a 2-story, marble floored foyer with an antique wrought-iron curved staircase... you pass an open leaded glass window that looks over the beach to the sea...) or OK... just somewhere small and special in your house!!!

'Knotty Girl' Teresa Layman has produced an educational DVD to teach you her fine art of miniature knots!!! Just like sitting in front of her for a private class, you'll learn how to make beautiful, well-formed French and Colonial Knots, the strange mechanics of these sometimes-frustrating knots, how to deal with unwanted ones, how to shade them... all sorts of cool stuff!

'Knot in your wildest dreams' would you have figured that you, too, could do these.. we are KNOT fibbing!

This is an exquisitely delicate tooth fairy pillow design that will be cherished for generations of your family to come! Your stitching is the 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch pocket on the silk pillow that holds the precious, required tooth. Stitched entirely in French and Colonial Knots, the design features the Tooth Fairy dancing on a sliver of a moon... sprinkling fairy dust. She's floating through the night, gathering those Precious Pearlies!

The design pack includes the pre-printed knotwork fabric, two teeny needles, diagrams and instructions for pillow assembly and knot production, the color key, 3 antique mother-of-pearl buttons, and tiny cording to make tiny piping around the tooth pocket. You'll add those knots, the silk and lace for the pillow, and Love. (I must remind you that this pillow is classy, and the Fairy better put more than pennies in the pocket for the pearlies...!)

Needlework accessories worked with Colonial and French Knots... this is a charming set that's done with the same technique her miniature knotted rugs are... but finished into a special set of stitching cases!!! A pastel garden of flowers surrounds this busy beehive... and I love that yellow and butterscotch checkered border that sets it all off!!! Three coordinating pieces, each of the stitched pieces is offered stamped onto the heavy ground muslin.

Complete instructions are provided for 'knotting' and finishing everything... but I'm guessing this is for a bit of an advanced stitcher and seamstress -- (I can knot, but I can't sew, so I'll send mine out for finishing!!!) The stitched areas feature knots done in one stand of floss, to create a soft looks that reminds you of miniature punch needle! Your scissor case will finish approx 2-1/4 x 3-1/2, Needlebook will measure approx 2 x 2-1/2, and the fob is a 1-1/4 x 1/2 inch oval.

Included in the package are the patterns stamped on the fabric, needles, acid-free boards for forms, ivory flannel for needlebook pages, lobster claw clasp for the fob, and instructions for everything! Absolutely exquisite... this will DEFINITELY become a treasured heirloom!!! (A note: Visit the finishing page for contact information on Pamela's Final Touch -- the expert in finishing this type of thing!)

Jacob Bean Tree Finishes approx 3-1/4 x 3-1/4, Acorns, strawberries, ladybugs and that lovely, flowing tree, the colors in this are so vibrant!	English Garden I LOVE this one! 4-1/8 in diameter, it's filled with delicate perennials and gorgeous color.

Whew, not as easy for the beginner! 3-1/4 Square, this is darling!!! Frame it in a metallic orange and purple setting, you could even add a bit of metallic to the background stars and sky!
