Flower Power from Carolyn Manning A delightfully full of fun little floral. You could make a MILLION tiny cushions to nestle in a bowl, or make individual blocks from All the Smalls... use the DMCs called for or grab some varied hand-dyeds from your stash just for fun - beads too! Flower Power - Does this make you think of the '60s? Lots of pretty little flowers stitched on purple fabric. The stitch count is 179 x 179, only 13" x 13" stitched on 28 count fabric.
The Garden Gate This is a collection of 4 nine-patch small designs. Each bitty square is only about an inch... so each cushion design finishes approx 4 x 4 on 14ct. Colors are coded for Sulky thread... so if you don't have that in your stash... you can use the chart cover as a color guide to choose your own colors, or use the conversion table on the Sulky website. These would make stunning biscornu smalls - especially if you stitch a design on each side! Presented as a chart.
New from Carolyn Manning We have four new designs right now... here are three of them that catch my eye! Granny is No Square -- Talk about repetitive motifs! This is a way to use fun colors!!!! The stitch count of this is 228 x 224 -- solid stitching -- and it finishes approx 16 inches on 14/28ct. You'll know right away if you've mis-counted in this one! 42 Different DMC shades -- multiple skeins of a few of them. Eggz -- We think this would be cute for next Easter. I think just the individual eggs would be pretty nestled in a basket of grass and candy! They are only 22 x 16!
Just a Little Crazy Oh wow, this is a super-fun design loaded with thread, stitching and finishing possibilities! 24 Miniature designs to companion Carolyn's monthly Crazy Quilt Cross Stitched blocks, each of these little squares measures just 30 x 30 stitches and resembles a tiny Crazy Quilt! Presented as a chart -- both black and white AND colored charts in here, everything is coded for DMC floss. 63 Of them in total! Stitch them all lined up as shown, or make a bunch of pin cushions or cubes, or something long and skinny for a long and skinny wall! Change out some threads, add beads or charms where-ever -- there is so much you can do with this set of designs! THEN... check out our monthly set of Carolyn's Crazy blocks... we are up to July so far -- All of those measure about 5-1/2 inches square on 14/28ct, and are full of fun details. Very cheerful and colorful!
