Four New Designs have arrived from Cotton Pixels Pumpkin Pincushion - I love this little piece! Stitched on 32ct Pumpkin Murano Lugana fabric (9 x 9 cut) with DMC floss, this finishes just 4-1/2 inches in size. The stitching is measures 80 x 80... the bottom side is Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed wool felt - our Schnigglet cut runs $7.00. You are stitching the top, then joining with the felt and then stuffing. Final step is to make your wrap stitches to make it look like a pumpkin, and roll your stem, or grab a stick from your yard for a real one! Too darn cute... this is presented as the chart. We have the Murano/Lugana and wool available - and they look gorgeous together! Autumn Cat - Another of CP's darlng little 3-inch cat cushions, this one is stitched on 32ct Charcoal with DMC floss. We have charcoal in many counts, but you'll need about a 14/28 to 16/32 for this, as the cat is beaded in this. 51 x 51 is the stitch count... so petite beads from your stash for the 32ct, or regular beads for the 28... the little silver jack-o-lantern charm is included in the pack and will look good on either size of fabric you choose. Super cute! Moon Cats - This is sweet. Another 3 x 3 pin cushion-sized piece, this one has more beaded cats, and calls for a Mill Hill glass heart Treasure as the embellishment. You can stitch the moon with Rainbow Gallery's Petite Treasure Braid or regular floss. Presented as a chart, it runs $9.00. Please let us know if you need any metallic, beads or that red glass heart. Autumn Sound - The sound of the honking geese - everyone is all grown up now - it was a long summer growing feathers and teaching the goslings how to fly, but they're ready to leave the nest! This uses a little Simply Wool - 7 shades - by Gentle Art for the goose. He measures only 50 x 25 - so he's small - stitch him alone or with the surrounding border.
Halloween on the Green, Rain Go way and Chocolate Cat... Darling Little Kitties on the Way A trio of smaller charts join our collection of Cotton Pixels kitties, each finishes about 4 x 4 each.�� Chocolate Cat is very ready for Valentine's Day. She's in the Patisserie's front window playing with the ribbon on the chocolate boxes! Halloween on the Green sports a 'box-shape' finishing, complete with little legs! The cats in the corners are cute, the pumpkins in the center are neat. Rain Go Away features a beaded cat, bugle-bead raindrops, and satin-stitched rain boots. The clouds are tiny bits of felt, but could be stitched as well.
Green Summer World and Haunted Hill A pair of 4 x 4 designs, each is presented in small chart format. Green Summer World features a black cat that is stitched in beads! The darker greenery growing is also done with beads, the lighter are simply stitched. Really cute texture because of that contrast. This little kitty goes with several other CP cats! Haunted Hill - I'm looking for the cat in this one... but there are only bats! I think you need to grab a small black cat (from a Chessie design or somewhere) and switch out a border bat for a cat. Another fun, quick seasonal design.
Little Kitties Here are 4 more little-black-cat designs to join our Stitcher's Cat and Strawberry Thief by Cotton Pixels. All presented as individual charts, they each measure about 55 stitches square, so finish around 3 inches in size.Cute as can be, they're on different fabrics, some feature a bit of metallic or a few beads. Each one is unique - just like little black cats! Gardener's Cat features kitty lounging in the hanging pot - the flowers are beaded. Watermelon Kitty is mostly all beads! Flight Through the Night calls for metallics, as does Twinkle Little Star. Stitcher's Cat This is the CUTEST! It coordinates with Strawberry Thief! Our little black kitty is perched atop her tomato pin cushion. Surrounded by a spool border, the chart comes with a tiny 2-piece wooden hoop - you can see it in the pic. You do a little bit of stitching, put IT into the hoop, and attach to the main piece! When you're finished, you'll have a darling pin cushion because this measures just 3-1/2 inches on 32ct!
Strawberry Thief Oh my gosh, this is the sweetest design! The thief-cat is BEADS and so are the strawberries! Presented as a color chart ($9), this finishes approx 3-1/2 inches on 32ct. The blackbirds on the edges are watching that darling little black cat - who is stitched with Mill Hill petite glass beads - stealing a plump strawberry - which is also stitched in beads! There are some straight stitches on leaves for a little more interest - making this whole thing tiny and precious! Stitched on a light blue 32ct - you'll need that size - or 36 - to fit the beads (42014, 42031 and 42013.)
