Hissing - for the cat-lovers, and Kissing - for the doggy lovers... they come as separate charts. Choose any fabric you like, they measure 53 x 53 in stitch count and are worked with Weeks and Classic Hand-dyeds. Kitty is NOT accepting kisses from strangers, and Puppy is ready to lick and love on everyone!
Extra Fries and Lache Pas La Patate EXERCISE! I thought you said Extra Fries. Something to stitch for your personal trainer! Measures 52 x 58 - choose any fabric you like, this is coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. Lache Pas La Patate - 'Don't drop the Potato!'... Which really means -- don't give up! Annie is from Louisana, and this is an old French Canadian and Cajun saying... even a song about it... which is a family favorite. Features a maiden carrying a basket of potatoes, mamma and baby goats and a cotton field in the pic... it measures 146 x 113, it's worked on Confederate Gray linen.
Gulf Coast Treasures This is a nine-panel set of small designs - each measuring just 50 x 50 - so 3 x 3 on 32ct. Celebrating the Gulf Coast... Annie grew up in the Bayou Country of Louisana and these remind her of home. Not sure of the release dates of all of the parts, but the border and Brown Pelican you see are freebies. Stitched with a medley of Classic, Weeks and Gentle Arts, she has tossed in some Rainbow Gallery Wisper for the moss on the Oak tree! Ready now are: Crawfish and Southern Magnolia. (Those two will come with the first auto-ship. Info for border and pelican inside charts.) Still to come are: Mossy Oak, Shrimp Boat, Gator, Oysters, Fleur de Lis, and Cotton Blossom. What a fun coastal piece! Stitch these all together, or make bowl-fillers and put them inside a huge shell or on a piece of driftwood.
Santa Claws, Santa Paws and Country Christmas A trio of fun little Christmas ornaments by Dirty Annie's will help you decorate for the holidays in style! Goodness knows those little furry creatures we love need recognition on the tree! Each Paws and Claws measure about 4 x 4 when finished... coded for DMC. Each of the single charts comes with a charm (Paws has a bone, and Claws has a fish skeleton and mouse.) Country Christmas is just cute for anyone who wears/loves boots! Tone down the stripes if need be... or stitch 'em to match that favorite pair of boots. Each comes as its own single chart.
On the Way from Dirty Annie's Dachshund Through the Snow - Oh my gosh this is darling! Stitched on Mint Splash 32ct Lugana, this little guy is the happiest! What a fun wintertime decoration. He measures 143 x 138 - so finishes abut 9 x 9, and is stitched with a medley of Classic and Weeks hand-dyeds. So many of the sky blue hand-dyeds would work for this, as we LOVE LOVE Crossed Wing's Snow Squall Linen - it has white spots that actually do look like snowflakes. Gorgeous fabric choices in multiple counts. Pumpkin Patch - Here's a pretty and colorful medley of medallions, pumpkins and silly cats. Love those pumpkins - you could add beads all over on those, give your kitties opalescent white eyes, or stitch them in Simply Wool. This measures 119 x 112 - so finishes approx 7-1/2 square on 32ct. This is Dirty... but there are lots of hand-dyed gingerbreads and nutmeg fabric colors that woud be stunning with this as well.
Quite a mixture of looks to Dirty Annie's new releases! Got to keep that open mind! Deja Poo - Something silly for help in dealing with less-than-accurate informational circumstances.70 x 70 - about 4 inches on 32. Deja Poo is presented as a small chart... and they even supply the source for that darling dictionary fabric they've used in the finishing!

Package Deal - This is just super-fun for the Oklahoma/Texas crowd! 137 x 76, This finishes about 8-1/2 x 5 on 32ct. This is presented as a small chart - and again - the fabric source is provided for that FUN Rodeo-Time finishing fabric they've used to make this look like it's matted. Morticia's Second Line - Funeral processions are famous celebrations of past and future life in New Orleans... this one finishes a whopping 12-1/2 x almost 11 on 32ct! We lots of hand-dyed fabrics in this shade - all counts! There is a lot going on in here... you either like it or you don't... no judgements! Catcus - Oh this is for you cat-people! That little guy in the middle is so cute... is he trying to hide by faking spikes? Catcus is a small chart, and it finishes about 5 x 7. It's actually done on Weeks Morris Blue, but looks greener in the pics. I think you can use most any fabric you like for this one! Ya'll Ain't Right - They say that around here... it's the funniest saying... because they're usually laughing hard when you hear it! 80 x 80... Measures inches n 32ct.

OMG Tree - Aren't you the most thoughtful cat-owner? This little thing measures 65 stitches square on 36 - over two, 3-1/2 inches, on 14ct - 4-1/2. The chart comes with those 5 little red wooden cut-out ornament embellishment for the tree... (something for kitty to try to chew off!)
