Silver Needle Trail Creek Designs, Counted Cross Stitch Needlework Patterns, Leaflets, Materials and supplies from The Silver Needle, Tulsa

Susan Ebright of Trail Creek Farm has outdone herself this season with a *classy* acorn-shaped pillow design! One of her 'Plumpers'... she has created the entire pillow -- a 'hand-made, ready-made' acorn that measures approx 13 high x 13 wide x 6 plump -- even before the stem and bow top treatments.

Topper fabric (acorn cap) is a milk chocolate tweed fabric, acorn bottom is a plaid medley of taupe, coffee, brick and teal. Next, comes the lavish bow and raffia -- its already tied for you! The featured design -- AAH NUTS! is stitched on 30ct hand-dyed Weeks linen. Susan has hand-screened some very subtle letters on the linen... can you see them in the photo?

AAH NUTS! from Trail Creek Farm

THEN... you stitch the cute sayings and scattered motifs everywhere -- again using overdyed flosses -- tiny acorns and squirrels galore! The colors are luscious -- reflecting all the colors of the plaid below. Then, turn under edges, iron a bit of interfacing of you want to, and attach using the 4 fabric-covered buttons provided in the kit!

The stitched area measures approx 4-1/2 x 5-1/2... nothing that will take you any time at all to complete! Complete kit contains your acorn pillow, the hand-screened linen, chart, covered buttons and the yummy bow! One of Trail Creek Farm's best, I think!

Susan has designed a really cool Treat Bag for Halloween! She has out-done herself with this one... and I just love it! First, the kit contains the READY MADE 12 x 13 black and white checkered totebag, complete with yellow polka-dot handle. Next, she's taken 30ct Honeysuckle Weeks hand-dyed linen, and hand-screened a pattern on there -- to give it the Banana Popsicle flavor!

Fun, funky squares of a background pattern -- very subtle behind your stitching. Next, you stitch the witches and pumpkins, using Weeks hand-dyed flosses, and finally attach all to the bag with the included fabric-covered buttons! Stitched area measures approx 5 x 6... but with the bag, you get lots of visual impact for that 5 x 6 inch area! Awesome, bright colors, the screening on the linen is such a cool, fresh idea... this is darling!

Cute door decoration or fun candy bag! Kit includes the bag, screened linen, chart and covered buttons. You add the flosses from your stash. (She's even tied the package together with orange, yellow and black checkered ribbon that you can use to dress up the tote!)

Plenty of time ahead to finish this contemporary, colorful, Christmas confection in time for Christmas 2008! Trail Creek Farm has 'redesigned' herself a bit, and is offering a new updated finished pillow look! Susan is now hand-screening fabrics with her own artwork, and then assembling pillows with exposed, surged edges -- kind of a modern, funky look -- and applying BELLY BANDS!

Christmas Noel was my favorite from Market this season... it's a green, cappuccino and burgundy plaid complimented with Susan's screened poinsettias. The pre-sewn Belly Band features a 20-ish count evenweave inset... stitched with her Noel Christmas design... and than wrapped around the pillow and buttoned! Stunning colors, the fabrics and designs are fresh and trendy! Everything is pre-sewn, pillow measures approx 10 x 12, all kitted up, ready to go... you get the pillow, Belly Band, chart and flosses... and I love it!

One of Trail Creek Farm's three newest Plumper Designs, this is CHARMING! You get the already-made plaid pillow that is heart-shaped! It measures approx 8 x 9 and features a wired ribbon hanging bow at the top. (It'll fit easily around a door handle, or cabinet pull.)

Stitched on Picture This Plus 28ct Buttermilk hand-dyed linen, the kit includes the cheerful plaid heart pillow, the dyed linen, a tiny gold heart charm and the chart for the flower basket design. You add the schnigglets of flosses needed. After the stitching is done, you button it to the front of the pillow, and enjoy! Very pretty cranberry, yellow, cream and green springy and summery colors, I like the design elements of backstitching behind the floral basket. Classy!

Ok... Love is understated on a star shaped pillow instead of a heart shape... but sometimes Love catches you off-guard!!! A little 9-inch pink plaid star pillow, Love is complete with the its chart, four fabric-covered buttons, and a piece of Graziano Linen that features those cream lines woven right into it. Love is a little thing to stitch, finish and give!

One of the three newest Plumpers Designs by Trail Creek Farm... Valentines Day IS indeed right around the corner... and love IS in the air!! A sophisticated coral, moss and cream floral jacquard print, accented with the same colors in a woven plaid that backs the 9 x 12 ready-made pillow, Love Is in the Air is stitched on the fabric of your choice in a few overdyeds from your stash. You get this pretty pillow, it's coordinating plaid-covered buttons, and the chart.

Stitching takes no time, finishing takes an hour to line, iron, and attach to the pillow. (You can send it to our Mona for that part if you want... but you can probably manage it yourself!) Very pretty!

Oh my Gosh... this is the cutest little acorn pillow... and it even has a matching square-tasseled pillow companion! Nuts Stitch Here is one of Trail Creek Farm's new Plumper Pillows - you get the already made and stuffed little pillow with the four already-covered fabric buttons, the ribbon hanger, luscious hand-dyed Colorscapes Linen, fabric to line the back of your stitching, acorn charm, and chart for this appropriate design. All you add is an hour or two of stitching and the schnibblets of overyded floss.

After you stitch, just button it onto the finished pillow, and your DONE!!! The acorn pillow measures approx 6 x 7 x 3, and features a hanger that's large enough to fit around a doorknob. Wonderful browns and greens... this is sooo fun!

Trail Creek has released quite a nice set of Autumn and Halloween designs for us... and I love them all!!! Featured here is 'Fall Color'.. but make sure to see the rest on the TCF's page. They are offered as kits, with all the necessary 'stuff', so they're actually a very good value for your stitching budget! Fall Colors is offered as a 'Plumper', one of Susan's pillows plumped full of charm, chart, buttons and fabric!!!

Fall Colors is stitched on Picture This Plus Colorscapes hand-dyed linen, using just bits of overdyed flosses from your stash. The orange plaid pumpkin pillow that measures a whopping 12 x 12 x 6-ish inches is already made and stuffed. Your kit contains the pillow, the raffia tie for the bow, chart, acorn charm, the backing fabric to line your stitching, all along with the four covered buttons for the needlework as well! Darling... the little design measures just a bit over 3 x 3... but has such a cool, impressive presentation. Very well done!

The companion to Nuts Stitch Here... this is a matching square pillow that features another acorn design, so that the two can be tucked into a special place together! Another in Trail Creek Farm's new Plumper Pillow Collection, you get the ready-made little pillow, complete with tasseled corner treatments and the four fabric covered buttons, chart, brass embellishment, the Colorscapes hand-dyed linen, and lining material. Again, you add a bit of floss -- not much -- and your stitching fingers. When you're done, the stitching will measure approx 3 x 3, and the pillow measures 6 x 7. Very pretty, definitely a 'keeper!'

Yet another cool New Year's decoration to embellish TCF's gold/silver/taupe/ivory square Millennium pillows, this is a 9 x 9 pillow that sports silvery-gold metallic corner tassels. The design is simple... change that hair color a bit... just something fun to commemorate the change of year! The pillow is pre-made and includes the buttons. All you add is the stitching to button on!!! Offered as the chart, with pillow available individually.

This is a free chart that looks darling mounted onto TCF's red and white plaid apple-shaped pillow!!! So darn cute... you can't pass this one by! The 8 x 9" apple pillow even has a green cotton stem out of the top, and features the four coordinating buttons to attach your cross stitch! The pillow just makes the design, and is available for $28.00! Of course, we'll send the free chart along with the pillow!

This is a cool design... another in Susan's series of five motifs lined up together... you'll stitch richly colored fall motifs, scattered with Mill Hill Treasures in seven beautiful shades of The Threadgatherer's hand-dyed Silk 'n Colors threads. Finishing approx 3 x 10" on a 28ct brown linen, your needlework mounts easily to the coordinating 10 x 16" plaid pillow -- the decorator fabric Trail Creek has chosen just makes your needlework jump out and look great! "You are the awesome in my autumn" is the verse, and the finished project and pillow really are just as awesome! We've made the pillow, threads and Treasures available here, too.

Stitch a 3 x 10" row of pink and plaid rabbits that promise: "This somebunny will always love you..." Yummy pink colors with touches of lime green, stitch it in either DMC flosses or hand-dyed Silk 'n Colors silk. There are tons of Mill Hill Treasures added as embellishments -- crystals for the eyes, flowers for the bow ties -- just delightful! Available as a chart, we have the coordinating 10 x 16 pre-made pillow as well, to finish yours like this!

This is such a happy, fall design! Stitch a little row of colorful pumpkins in yummy shades of Silk 'n Colors from The Thread Gatherer. They look great on either large or small count, but everyone agrees that the fabrics with a touch of gold or silver metallic woven into them look the best. Each pumpkin has different colors and a glass Treasure from Mill Hill, too. This is a companion to "Arte of Love" & "Daisy Love"... both are designs with these bright, fun colors that everyone loves!
10 x 16 pillow is also available.
