Amy Bruecken -- 1/2 of Sisters & Best Friends -- introduces her new design company, AB Designs! Now, you can tell which designs from Sisters came from which sister!!! Printed as colorful 4-color charts, each often comes with its necessary special embellishments! | |
![]() Jingle All The Way! Charts one and two are shipped! NOW is the time to join Amy's Stitch-Along for this charming design... here are the details! Here is AB Designs' 2023 Stitch Along Piece! Amy's sampling of little Christmas people is stitched in Classic Colorworks flosses on 28ct Flax linen. The whole piece measures 134 x 164 - so on the 28 it'll be 9-1/2 x 12... but if you change fabric counts, finished size will change as well. (Individual ornaments could be 2 or 3 inches by themselves.) Darling and full of color, each chart includes button embellishments. The first two of 10 charts will ship this April, with two more charts shipping in June, August, October and December. $10.00 each, we will charge your card for the two charts shipped each time - NOT the whole series at one time. The whole pic uses 13 skeins of the Classic Flosses but is also coded for DMC. The color key appears only in the first chart; individual monthly charts will not be available until next year when the Stitch Along Auto is finished. | |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Christmas and Halloween Designed the AB Designs Way! Amy Bruecken is releasing 4 new charts for stitching fun
| |
![]() Amy's things came home with us from our Nashville Market... all the goodies you know you don't want to live without! Possible - A leaflet with a trio of very happy thoughts! Anything's Possible - like you could be a 'Nap Queen.' Or 'If you're happy and you know it, stay in bed!' But I like 'Today is full of possible!' Choose any fun fabrics from your stash and some favorite colors (these are coded for DMC) and you're good to go. Strong Girl and Loved Boy - 'You are stronger than you know, and loved more than you can imagine.' Amy has a girl and boy colorway for this touching design... the verse isn't new... but maybe you have someone new to stitch this for! Birth announcement, wedding memento, just general loving motivation... These are done on Weeks linen with Weeks hand-dyed flosses. | |
![]() We Are All A Little Batty Here! AB Designs has finished her set of darling little Halloween 'people'... who are all being batty together! Stitched on bright purple fabric (lots of great choices and counts in that area), all of it is done with DMC floss. Amy had introduced this piece in parts... but now all have been released, and since the color key appears ONLY in the first chart... it needs to come to you as the complete set of the 7 charts. Super cute and colorful, the stitch count is 181 x 146... so it'll finish 10 x 13 on 14ct for instance. You can stitch each 'person' individually; they would make darling stand-up blocks, or pumpkin pokes... or even pokes to stick up from the candy dish! | |
![]() ![]() Amy Bruecken has a pair of new charts - both full of her Halloween silliness. Always cute and colorful... each title of two designs is a single chart.
| |
![]() Amy Breucken is doing a cute set of charts - everybody is pictured here, so you know what scary things are coming your way! Stitched on Weeks Pumpkin or Carrot Linen, in all the bright colors Amy loves, that first shipment will have the words with design placement and the witch cauldron chart. Each of the little people can be stitched alone... and they originally released as individual charts, but now that the series is complete, they are all packaged together. | |
![]() Hip Hip Hooray This is a fun design to celebrate every day - not just July 4th! Amy's 4 little sheep look like cheerleaders - the little blue one is waving his flag! Make a stand-up, or use her pillow finishing idea... she's chosen Weeks Tin Roof linen for this, and used Classic Colorworks flosses with DMC conversions. Cute and quick - I even like just the 4 sheep by themselves! | |
![]() ![]() The Rainbow Bridge for Cats and Dogs These are darling, colorful designs for something that I just can't even THINK about! Amy has separate charts for cats and dogs, and gives you three different shapes and colors of animals to help you personalize yours. Stitched in DMC or Weeks hand-dyed flosses, I love how she's kept the collars and used them on the pillows. | |
![]() Announcing AB Designs' next 2021 Stitch-along - A Year of Snowfriends! This monthly series will begin this June. Amy will begin with the main chart and July. Then, every other month, you'll get two more charts, till it finishes next year. Charts include embellishments. The sample is stitched on Weeks 20ct Tin Roof hand-dyed linen, but we think 18ct Natural will work well too. You can use floss - or bits of your #5 Pearls left over from stockings and other fun projects you've finished! Our Warm & Wooly auto is finished... so this is next year's project! | |
![]() ![]() Amy Bruecken has two new designs - always cute and colorful. Both are presented as single card charts.
| |
![]() The 2020 Warm Wooly Welcome Stitch Along Amy's 2020 set of 12 seasonal cuties started with her main border chart of words and the little July Warm Wooly Welcome Sheep. For the next year-ish, every 8 weeks, we got two more Wooly charts, until we finished with all 12, the border and a secret bonus design as well. Cute little designs, each finishes about 4 x 4, and comes with an embellishment of some sort. Amy's recommended fabric is 20ct Weeks Dye Work's Morris Blue - making the entire piece finish about 14 x 15. If you want it smaller - no problem - light blue fabrics are plenty! The trick with this series is that the thread color key is only on chart #1 - the one that shows the placement of lettering for all 12 sheep. So.... this is an all-or-nothing-thing... all 13 charts at $10 each. | |
![]() ![]() I Smell Children and Wicked Women Unite Amy Bruecken has a couple of new designs that are full of the personality of her favorite season - Halloween! Presented as single charts, she suggests wild fabric to complement the regular, solid DMC flosses she's used on them. You can add embellishments where-ever you want, she doesn't have anything specific featured on them.
| |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Birds & a Bee Quite the cute little things, stitch a fat bird or bee, and perch it somewhere unexpected! AB Designs has new, small charts for these cute guys - each finishes about 3 x 4 in size. They are stitched on small pre-made 18ct white Aida 'birds.' Stitch them, then sew together the bottoms, and they're done! Really a cute idea, if you are an over achiever - you can stitch both sides of them - but right now, they are shown with stitching on one side. We've included the bird fabric piece with each chart. | |

![]() ![]() Partying with Amy! Amy has several new designs... all of them are cute, colorful and fun to stitch. Her 'Liking to Party' set offers two different party options... Stitching or Napping! Those 4 sheep are super-cute - look at the swirls and dots in their wool! Pick a fun fabric, she's coded these for DMC, and tells you to add buttons or whatever else floats your party-barge! | |
![]() ![]() ![]() Partying with Amy and her Besties! Amy has several new designs... all of them are cute, colorful and fun to stitch. Her 'Liking to Party' set offers two different party options... Stitching or Napping! Those 4 sheep are super-cute - look at the swirls and dots in their wool! Pick a fun fabric, she's coded these for DMC, and tells you to add buttons or whatever else floats your party-barge! Besties is a cute set of three 40 x 40 designs - frame 'em, cushion 'em, make block stand-ups. If you don't stitch the square outline around them, they'd fit on the Heart in Hand Heartware pieces... and you might need to add some JABCO or Puntini Pins to them! | |
![]() ![]() ![]() A Stitch A Day, Self-Medicate, and Be Kind Three more fun designs by Amy, each is presented in it's separate chart and begs to be done on some obscure, fun fabric from your stash! Anything goes on these!!!
| |
![]() A *snarky pillow* just for one of those days, Amy has given you a pre-sewn 5 x 9 black and white polka dot pillow sham, (you'll need a bit of stuffing for it) with a 7 x 10 white 14ct Aida wrapper with the big red ribbons, to tie around the dotted pillow. It'll say Go Away on one side... and Please on the other 'because we still have manners!' Presented as a chart with that pillow and wrapper, there are also three colorful buttons in here to dress up your stitching. Super Cute!!! (Could be for an 11yr old or 91yr old!) | |
![]() Hey, this little guy companions Amy's Witch Wine Bottle Cover that came out last Fall! New -- you'll be ready for Christmas in plenty of time this year -- or maybe even Christmas in July! *Dear Santa... Please bring wine!* Stitch the little panel, then use Amy's felt packet to construct the darling bottle cover! Two other stitched patterns are included in the chart. Chart comes with set of buttons and pattern for bottle cover. The felt packet contains JUST the felt needed for the cover construction. These really are cute! | |
![]() Wow... this is a really touching design idea. Use an old shirt or pair of jeans from someone you love... and stitch a memory. *This is a shirt I used to wear, when you see it, know I'm there.* My Dad used to wear those wool plaid shirts like the one in the pic... I don't need to say any more! Presented as a single card chart with 3 designs... each is small. Match threads to your garment fabric... just such a neat idea!!! | |
![]() Just funny sayings that are super fun to have on display in just the right places!!! *But First Coffee* and *That's a horrible idea* -- Both designs in this chart, they come with a smattering of small green buttons. You can even add some of the PuntiniPuntini coffee buttons! Again, any fabrics you want, change colors too if you want! | |
![]() ![]() AB Designs has sent two small Christmas designs that will just make you smile. Presented in chart format - there are no special buttons or anything - they just feature that fun polka-dot Belfast linen, and Amy's charm! Make the larger pieces (3 x 6) or the ornaments/pin cushions 3 x 3... there are several options open. Little penguin is wearing the Royal Crown... and actually, I think the little moose needs a bit of mistletoe hanging from his antler! I like the JABCO peppermint buttons... we can send green or red peppermints, presents, stars, snowflakes, trees; I think little cushions and ornaments would be stunning trimmed with Lady Dot's Sizzle Mini Balls or Chenille trim (a bright Christmas Red!) | |
AB Designs has a ton of cute new things! ![]() ![]() Halloween Scaredy Cats -- This is a trio of individual charts that are stitched over two on Picture this Plus's 28ct Kermit linen. It is just the brightest, yummy color of fabric -- we have the same color with opalescent in it as well -- Crystal Kermit it is called. Cats are stitched with good 'ol DMC and there are no embellishments featured (so you can add anything you want!) ![]() ![]()
| |
![]() Long May She Wave AB Designs is in a patriotic mood... she's sent two designs to celebrate!!! Long May She Wave MIGHT be referring to the cute little animals, besides the flags! Stitch them all together or make a set of 4 little cushions to nestle together in a summer basket. Individually, they measure about 40 stitches in size -- so they're cute and bitty! Chart comes with stars and a heart button. | |
![]() ![]() Crazy Dog and Cat Ladies! Two of AB's new designs... we all have that friend who is NUTS about their cat or dog... they dress them, they cook real people food for them, they skype with them, they even stick them in their purses to go shopping together! (well maybe not the CAT!) Anyway, she needs this! Dog was released a few weeks ago -- Cat just came. Offered as two separate charts -- both measure 61 x 133 in stitch count -- about 6 x 14 on 14ct. CAT comes with a felt fish for trim, DOG comes with a felt bone. Cute as can be... you could skip the top two cats to save stitching time... but not if that offends that Crazy Cat Lover! | |
![]() Oh Baby! DARLING for any sex of baby, this can be stitched on any color or count of fabric... you can stitch it with or without personalization... frame it... pillow it... whatever! It's colorful, fresh, young and cute. Model is shown on a light blue and finishes approx 5 x 5 on a 14/28ct. You can add cute safety pin embellishments, maybe some polka dot ribbons, maybe glue a binky to a frame, change the DMC colors to match a nursery??? Even repeat the word BABY if there are twins or triplets!!! Oh Baby, Baby, Baby!!!!!! Presented as a chart. | |
![]() Drive a Stick What a cute girlie thing to stitch for the newest teenage *driveress* in your house! Stitched on 30ct Peoria Purple linen, this finishes just about 5 x 6, and features lots of bright, happy color. There is even an annoying little brother spider thing lurking down there that says EEK! Presented as the chart with embellishments, just something fast and fun - like your new driver! | |
![]() Christmas Calories Don't Count Well in a perfect world, I guess! AB has a cute design that needs to be mounted on a chalkboard stand or something -- some sort of presentation to preside over the tempting Christmas Cookie tray of sin! Her pattern comes as a chart with cuts of two different colors of brown wool, red heart buttons and DMC Memory Wire Thread for icing decorations to make delightful felt gingerbread men! The stitching is only 5 x 6-ish on 28ct... so this is a creative, quick thing to dress up your kitchen cooie tray! | |
![]() Let the Frolicking Begin Hang this little baby above the family coat rack in your back hallway or mud room. On Crossed Wing's AWESOME Snow Squall hand-dyed linen, all you add are a few DMCs. The chart comes with the yellow buttons and AB's signature *Sticky-Outey-Carrot-Nose.* (Amy's sons used to make those to earn money when they were 'under-privileged, over-worked' teenagers in high school... they remember them with fondness!!!!!!) Stitching measures approx 6 x 8-ish. | |
![]() ![]() ![]() Many Flakes a Family Makes We're a little out-of-season with snowmen right now... but Flakey Families are 'in season' all year round! This cute design can be stitched on just about any fabric you want, and is coded for DMC floss. AB makes the cutest sticky-out-y clay carrot noses for her snowmen... you might want to get a few of those for various members of your family! (They run $1.25 each, and come in all sizes, because they are hand-made -- just like the real thing!) I'd Rather Bee Stitching & Bee Happy or Bee Quiet This is kind of a fun pair of designs... they don't really GO together... but they follow the same color scheme. Weeks 30ct Straw Linen and the same colors of hand-dyed flosses used... they are just simple, cheerful and make you smile. Presented as single charts, Stitching measures 77 x 55 -- it'd be cute on the front of a sewing case or something. Bee Happy measures 89 x 44 -- 3 x 6... very petite! | |
![]() Get out all your fun colors of fabrics to stitch these designs... these are on various counts of Week's Peoria Purple, Chartreuse and Pumpkin. Amy says they are good for 'Sending a Message' or just perching in a bowl -- if you are the more silent type! Colorful, cheerful, wild... all are included in the one set of patterns, no specific embellishments called for -- although you could get imaginative with those yourself. Charted for regular colors of DMC floss (700, 742, 971, 553, 321, 310 and 907) -- these colors give you a basic suggestion -- get into your hand-dyeds for these as well!!! Included are: NEVER EVER, NO, WHATEVER, GO AWAY, TODAY WILL BE AMAZING, THANK YOU, THIS COFFEE (TEA, WINE, COLA) IS MAKING ME AWESOME, AND YES!!! | |
![]() A cute trio of snowmen... Amy suggests these both ways... just the folks. (6 x 3) ... or the saying on the top as well.,(6 x 6).

He's embellished with black buttons and some silver bugle beads. His beard has wired-thread curls all over it! DMC's new Memory Thread -- this variety of it -- is a thin copper wire, wrapped with cotton fibre. You wrap it around something like a pencil to get the little swirlies... and then just tack those onto the needlework!

The snowman has that cute pointed clay carrot nose, and the reindeer has antlers full of a red bead garland! Offered as the chart, this is smaller than the rest of the Sisters & Best Friends Santa patterns, and finishes approx 6 x 6-ish. Lots of pretty fabric options for them, too! | |
![]() Sisters & Best Friends Sisters & Best Friends Amy and Koneta are STILL sisters and best friends... but have decided to split their design company into two new ones! Sister's patterns will slowly retire as each is sold out... because that company no longer exists to re-print them! | |
![]() Here is a cheerful little ark... bursting with animals, and Noah! Is the rain cloud leaving and sun coming??? ... or the other way around?! Offered as a leaflet with a delightful set of colorful buttons and a smattering of beads, the thread list uses 29 different colors of DMC, Crescent Colours, Weeks Dye Works and Sampler Threads! This piece is so full of color, you'll love stitching it! Worked on 18ct linen, over two threads, using 4 strands of floss, Noah finishes an impressive 11 x 13! No special stitches, just lots of personality! | |
![]() A proven fact -- you've just seen it in print and stitched On The Internet!!! To our beautiful customers, who must not be doing enough housework... this is published documentation, based on a lengthy, scientific study that YOU are on the right track in life! To remain as beautiful as you can be, simply purchase this chart and don't clean to make room for it in your stash! If you stitch it, rather than framing the leaflet itself -- it'll finish approx 10 x 11 on 10ct Tula or 19ct linen -- it's plenty large enough to cover a messy wall, no cleaning required. (Why spend hundreds of dollars annually on cosmetic products, when you can simply stop house cleaning... and be a lovely -- and probably better -- stitcher for it?) Sisters has brought us this delightful, whimsical chart that just brings a smile to your face! | |
![]() Oh my gosh -- so many places to hang this -- so many people who I could give it to -- but, wait... am I supposed to keep it on MY office wall??? I'm so confused... What I DO have straight, however, are the details about this charming piece! Offered as a chart, its stitched over one on the yummiest, pale shade of 19ct Mint Green Cork Linen, in a smattering of Crescent, Weeks, Gentle Art and DMC, and is embellished with 40 teeny-weeny deep grape micro-mini buttons! You can see them all over on this... they're all the little dots that are trying to confuse me!!! Finishing into a 4 x 7 frame... you can place those button dots where-ever, in case your frame is a different size. (Confused?... maybe not!) Quite cute, quite a definite!!! Sisters has lots of other new stuff -- just scroll down to check it all out!!! | |
![]() Well... this just reports half the story... as I'm not the MAID!!! Cute for your kid's rooms... this is offered as the single chart, and finishes approx 5 x 6. It's embellished with tiny hot pink buttons... (But my order of those hasn't come yet! Price is a guess at $14.00.) | |
