We have so many great things in the shop that are special only to us. I've chosen a few to highlight here. ENJOY!

Season's Greetings - a Silver Needle Exclusive from Shakespeare's Peddler - click to see more The Magic of Christmas - a Silver Needle Exclusive from Shakespeare's Peddler - click to see more Anticipation

Season's Greetings by Shakespeare's Peddler
This is a Silver Needle Exclusive design by Theresa Venette. A pretty sampler for the entire Christmas season... candies, berries and apples in the border, the pretty urn gorgeous soft hand-dyed colors, this finishes about 12 x 12 on 36ct Picture This Plus Wren Linen.

Theresa was here in our She Shed in october of '25 we had two Retreat classes over 4 days. Season's Greeting was our main project, and we will be able to offer it as our exclusive for a year. During class, T surprised everyone with ANOTHER sampler - only they had to brainstorm the basic personality, title, motif content, and verse - and Theresa put it together. So... we'll have TWO MORE Exclusives to share!

Wed/Thurs did 'The Magic of Christmas' stitching on Fox & Rabbit's Lyrebird Dell Linen, and Fri/Sat did 'Anticipation' worked on Needle Bling's Broomgrass.

Bottom line, there will be THREE Silver Needle/Shakespeare's Peddler Exclusive Charts available for only a year, which will all release in very late November. (Class Ladies will get their bonus charts before general release - their names are on the charts as contributors!) Charts will be $24 each... fabrics for all are on order, and sold separately. Size needed TBD. (There are gingerbread men in one of the borders, a fireplace in the other piece... each group chose sampler colors... all while Theresa showed them how her software worked and the steps she takes to design.)


Miniature Clip Boards for Stitchers, a Silver Needle Exclusive - click for more Stitcher Night Lights, a Silver Needle Exclusive - click for more Beautiful Things Tray, a Silver Needle Exclusive - click for more
Stitchers are always looking for fun and different trinkets and treasures to commemorate a shopping trip to Silver Needle, or some cool small gifts to take home and give to stitching friends. Check out all this fun stuff!
  • Miniature Clip Boards for Stitchers - The Spool boards measure only 5-1/2 x 7, and feature cute stitch-y decorations. Little Clip at the top - use it to hold a small finished piece of needlework! (Like a finished Mill Hill bead kit or smaller pin cushion design that is stitched, but not assembled.) There is a wooden 'stick' on the back so your board can even stand up as a display piece. The larger boards are 6 x 9. Varied woods for everything, decorative etchings on the fronts, SN's name and the stands are on the backs. Etchings are varied designs on the fronts... but our favorite is the 'To Stitch is Bliss' with all the tiny stitching motifs in the artwork. The little spool boards are $18.00, the larger run $26.
  • Stitcher Night Lights! The are the cutest! What a fun thing to whip out at your next late night stitching event... or something to make you smile when you tip-toe to your bathroom in the middle of the night. (Stitchers always have stitching on their minds) Regular little bulb, on/off switch, the little hoop part measures about 3 inches in diameter. There is a cute colorful design full of stitching stuff, and the wooden heart area covers the center of the bulb, so there is no bright glare of a bare bulb. Each as a verse about stitching, this one reads 'Eat, Stitch, Sleep, Repeat.' They run $21.00.
  • Beautiful Things Tray Something to keep your space organized, these little trays measure just 10 inches across, 5 inches high and are 1/2 an inch thick. They feature a lovely verse: 'Beautiful Things Come Together One Stitch at a time.' Slightly raised edges, so nothing can spill out of your area; I put a pair of 3-1/2 inch scissors there for scale. (They are sold separately from the tray.) Perfect for travel-stitchng, and holding a few threaders, trinkets and candy! Super fun and functional - $34.00.


Presenting our Next Round of: *A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle*
Running April 2025 through April-ish of 2026!

We are proud to feature designs from Plum Street Samplers, Cross Eyed Cricket, Heart in Hand, Teresa Layman, Erica Michaels, Jeannette Douglas, and Shakespeare's Peddler!

Cross stitch designers participating in the next round of the Stitching Circle

Delightful offerings approx every other month... till April of 2026 (if we can stay on schedule!)... these ladies will do their designing best to bring us pin-cushion-sized projects. Everything around 70 x 70 to 90 x 90 in stitch count... stitching, friendship or home sweet home themes... we're mindful of stitching time and budgets!

Every 8 weeks (or so!) we'll be sending you a fun pin-cushion-sized design, that will be kitted with fabric and threads (occasionally trim too). Our target budget this year is around $55 per kit. We always tuck in some sort of bonus 'treasure or what-not'... hopefully a functional needlework trinket or something cute that goes with our project. Our Designers will do their best to bring you something charming, we promise! Everybody loves surprises in the mail... and these certainly fit the bill!

Please call or e-mail us to join or RE-UP for this next cycle of 'A Little Help From Our Friends.' We do not automatically 'roll you over' unless we hear from you! Registration will be open for only a few weeks!

Happy Stitching From The Silver Needle Ladies --
And All of Our Friends Who Help Us Along The Way!
NOTE! We've stopped adding to this list now, as we're full. But we have left you to the opportunity to get on a waiting list for this, as we always have a few that drop out over the year.

A Stitcher's Garden by The Drawn Thread Exclusively for the Silver Needle -- click to see more
A Stitcher's Garden from The Drawn Thread - Exclusively for the Silver Needle
By Cynthia Zittel, this is a busy design full of color and special stitches just like all her seasonal gardens. Joining Sunnyside, Kitchen, Herb and Butterfly Gardens, and the 4 Seasons set, this features everything special to its subject. She came as our Summer Event Designer a couple of years ago and this sampler and little linen tote was our project. Then, she did a companion pin cushion for our 'A Little Help From Our Friends' Stitching Circle last year to go with it.

Measuring 169 X 50 on 32ct Natural, it finishes just 10 x 3 but it's stuffed FULL of fun, specialty stitches that Cynthia loves so much. The 'flowers' in your garden are buttons, and thread spools, little floss skeins, and scissors.

Very Berry from Erica Michaels - click for more Very Berry from Erica Michaels - click for more
Very Berry!

Linda Stolz of Erica Michaels has designed an EXQUISITE wool strawberry... stitched on 30ct silk gauze!!! Designed to be a scissor fob or tiny pin cushion this little 2-1/2 x 1-3/4 confection is *way too pretty* to eat... and I'd never stick pins in mine!!! Here are all the details!

Stitched in Continental Stitch (just the first half of a Cross Stitch), your berry calls for 5 different shades of Gentle Art's hand-dyed Simply Wool -- you'll be stitching with one ply of thread. The stitched berries that wrap around the piece are little checkerboards of Mulberry and Buckeye Scarlet, the blossoms have hints of golden Brandy in them, and the leaves are a deep Blue Spruce, all against a Roasted Marshmallow background! A miniature strawberry patch on your Very Berry! Next, the berry top features matching Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed wool leaves!!!

Very Berry from Erica Michaels - click for moreVery Berry from Erica Michaels - click for more Charted for regular stitching, you could do this on linen... but our exclusive kit contains 30ct silk gauze instead! (Bigger holes than linen -- NO KIDDING!) When you are finished with the stitching, the long side is joined into a cone-shape, and the top is drawn/gathered together, with tiny wool leaves attached to the top! Just darling!!!

Offered as the complete kit, we have included the chart, gauze, 8 complete skeins of Gentle Art's Simply Wool, Weeks Dye Works wool, and your needle. Complete assembly instructions are included, along with stitching tips for the gauze! I'm holding the precious little berry in my hands in some of our pics... you can see how petite it is, and how very special and unique! *Thank You, Linda* for designing something so awesome... just for The Silver Needle!

1830s Rose Basket Needlebook from Samplers Not Forgotten
This was another She Shed Retreat project Kimberly came to present - she found the main flower basket motif on one of the antique samplers hanging in the room when she taught Hummingbird! I sent her home with the sampler, and we got this for our class afterward! Stitching on the front and back of the tri-fold piece, there is a companion scissor fob and pin cushion piece. Stitched on Weeks 36ct Confederate Gray, it features Weeks flosses of Lily Pad, Loden, Hibiscus, Aztec Red, Sun Dried Blue heron, Chestnut, Mocha and Bees Knees.

The complete original class kit contains the linen, wool, finishing fabric, flosses, the charts, and counting pins along with a gorgeous waxer that Kimberly made for class.


The Scarlet Aviary from Summer House Stitche Workes - click for more
The Scarlet Aviary by Summer House Stitche Workes This was the class kit presented by Beth Ann Seal at our Grand Summer Stitch Event a couple of years ago! The Scarlet Aviary is a stitched drum with a wool pin disk and pin cushion.

The original complete kit contains all Beth's fabrics, wools, threads, a waxer, the paper pieced drum topper kit, even all the stuffing for the drum! It was a fun class with lots of stuff to do. Colors are yummy, dusty patriotic in flavor.

Presenting Treats from The Silver Needle and The Scarlett House
Tanya has designed these cushions through our *A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle.* We have always loved them - but our Circle designs retire - and they have not been available since they were part of the club releases.

Well! Tanya was here this weekend, and since we were having a lovely time (bottles of wine were involved!) out side on my back deck... they came up. After numerous requests, we're re-printing them for release!
  • Be My Friend measures about 4 x 4.
  • Flowers and Friendships measures approx 4 x 7.
  • Autumn Garden measures 4 x 7 as well. We've seen this one stitched with a black fence. Tanya liked that better than her white one in the pic!

Sterling Needle Minders, Ort Jars and Needle Jars from Michelle Ink - click for more
Sterling Needle Minders, Ort Jars and Needle Jars
Michelle Ink has made us more of our exclusive sterling needle minders that our A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle Stitchers received a few years ago. She designed this gorgeous threaded needle nestled among swirly stitches just for The Silver Needle. Her silver comes from recycled electronic discards! Referred to as precious metals clay... they reclaim the sterling in old computer parts, and somehow get it into a clay medium. Michelle, then molds it, fires it (the clay burns off and we are left with the beautiful silver that was being thrown away!), tumbles it, antiques it, and then makes her pieces into our needle minders, and medallions on tiny jars.

You can see the quarter I put in the pic - for size reference - and I can guarantee you there is more silver in Michelle's pieces than that quarter! Gorgeous hand-made minders and elegant jars to love, USE and enjoy!

Birds & Berries
from Summer House Stitche Workes
We welcomed Beth Seal here this past weekend as a guest designer at our Grand Summer Stitching Event - and this charming little red, white and blue bird was her exclusive bonus to us!

Companioning the class kit, it's a sweet bird nestled among the summer leaves. Finishes about 3 x 3 on 32ct, and is offered as a single chart.

We also enjoyed a terrific trunk show... a took a few pics of all the charming Fragment cushions... when you scroll down to the Fragments in Time sets, you'll see even more. I just LOVE all of these! Thanks Beth!

Presenting The Pink Tulips Sampler
from The Drawn Thread
Cynthia was here last weekend as one of the guest designers at our Grand Summer Stitch Retreat - and she brought US a treat! Exclusively available at The Silver Needle, this charming little piece was inspired by the two guys who live next door to her - they brought her Pink Tulips on Valentine's Day this year!

Stitched on 32ct, it's just 64 stitches in size - so about 4 inches in size. Coded for silks, she has conversions on her site for DMC. Then, if you want, you can Google conversions to just about anything else you want. Just a pretty piece, it pops against the darkish fabric background!

She Shed Thread and Bead Mats - click for more I Stitched at The She Shed!
We have darling little stitching thread and bead mats that celebrate our Silver Needle She Shed Events! (We JUST missed our Cross Eyed Cricket Event... these came yesterday!) A large vinyl card, these measure 7 x 10 in size. They feature 12 thread holes, a 4 x 8 area of (attached) fleece to hold needles, loose beads and charms, and a needle minder that matches the artwork on the board.

Something to commemorate your visit... you survived a retreat weekend in the She Shed! We have these available when you come, or via the mail in case you've been and want one now!


Cold Noses from Lizzie Kate and The Silver Needle Cold Noses from Lizzie Kate and The Silver Needle Presenting Cold Noses by Lizzie Kate!
It's time to enjoy our previously-unreleased exclusive design Cold Noses by Lizzie Kate!
Stitch a row of cute penguins with their snowman buddy. Everyone is ready for a snowstorm - complete with warm neck scarves and shovels in hand!
This is the ORIGINAL design Linda used in her final appearance at The Silver Needle's 2018 Summer Stitching Event. Our chart includes all the original button embellishments to stitch the main trio pic of penquins and snowman AS WELL AS the Casual Friday and Prom Penguins (he is the one wearing the tux!) - both bonus charts that are included in our pack!

Darling, darling... ours is presented on the featured 32ct Crystal Mint linen by Picture This Plus... we have that available separately as well. (Crystal Linen is not longer made... so the fabric will not always be available going forward... so if you think you want it... get it NOW. The cut is large enough to stitch all the designs.) Our packs include the nose and snowflake buttons to stitch each chart, as well as a smattering of glisteny seed beads for the background snow. The design is coded for Weeks hand-dyed flosses and a smattering of DMC. Just a special November treat to help you celebrate the upcoming snowy season!

A Needle of Silver
from Hands On Design
We hosted Cathy Habermann during our annual 2018 Summer Stitching Event... and here is a tiny benefit! To honor the gals at The Silver Needle, she incorporated our shop name into her verse: A Needle of Silver & a Heart of Gold. She has designed us a pin cushion that measures 76 x 77 in stitch count.

Included with the chart is a bit of aqua felt to mark the place to poke needles and pins... and we just love it! Stitched on 32ct Antique White Belfast with DMC flosses of yellow, aqua and mossy greens. Offered as a chart. Thanks Cathy!!!


Miniature Scissor Blocks -- click here to see more! Miniature Scissor Blocks
OHhhh... we have the cutest miniature scissor blocks! Made from assorted woods, these little 1-1/2 x 2 x 2-3/4 chunks feature a slanted top, complete with ruler slot. Along with that slot, notice the larger hole near the top? That holds a pair of 3-1/2 to 4-inch embroidery scissors. Then, notice the two smaller holes? They store needles. Each of them as a tiny magnet in their bottom -- just enough to make your needles *cling* so if the block get knocked over, no needles errantly spill to the floor.

Not big, not heavy, just functional and cute! The slit can hold a small pattern, or one of our rulers or paddles that double as thread organizers. If you order multiples, we'll try to mix up your woods, but try to match ruler and organizer woods to blocks. All of these are just the coolest things!


Sweet Honey from Shepherd's Bush -- click to see lots more
Announcing: The Town Square!
from Forty Cross Stitch Designers
A darling set of 40 tiny shops, businesses and churches that together, make up an awesome Town Square and Village!!! A collaboration between different designers and vendors at our Summer 2006 Wholesale Needlework Market... everyone got together, and designed a particular building as part of the overall village.

Sandie's Sweet Shop I can't remember off the top of my head who did what... but I do remember that Shepherd's Bush had a Honey Shop, Mosey 'n Me did the bookstore, Crescent Colours, now Classic Colorworks, had the saloon, Lizzie Kate did the Candy Shop, Sweetheart Tree had a Sweet-shop... there is a knitting shop, quilt shop, frame shop (East Side Moulding did that one!), a general store, haberdashery, bakery, a button shop -- done by Just Another Button Co!. The town hall, jail, fire station... Bent Creek did the fish shop... I could go on and on!

Anyway, offered as a set of 'freebie cross stitch charts' to those shops who attended the show all those years ago... Silver Needle has loaded all of these charts onto one CD for you... so you can have them all in one place, and print any or all... as many times as you wish! (We weren't sure our copier was up to all those thousands of copies anyhow... and nobody jumped up to baby-sit it while they ran!)
Cross Stitch Shop
Because of the time and effort involved in producing the set and duplicating the CDs, we have them available for $5.00 each. No limit to the number of CDs... good inexpensive stitcher surprises here! Ready to print in .jpg format... this is such a treat!

Several of the designers had special embellishments on their houses... we have most all of it, so when you get your Village, and decide which you're going to stitch... you can order any necessary fabrics, threads, buttons and charms from us!

Sorry we don't have a composite pic of the whole Village... nobody had stitched one for the show... but enjoy several of the individual pics we do have!


Victorian Mourning Pins - click to see more Victorian Mourning Pins
AKA Little black stick pins! I'd never seen these before, till they appeared in Netty Nightshade's Pumpkin Furniture!!! (Any good stitcher or seamstress has pins and needles stuck in her furniture!)

Presented in a clear dish with a screw-top lid, 150 black straight pins measuring 1 inch x .85mm are nestled inside. Perfect for Halloween pin cushions and sewing cases, or something very 'antiquy'... they have a flat, matte black finish that matches our black scissors.



Fireworks Baby, Easter

Klaer Ultra-Fine (Beading) Threader
A super-duper thin wire in melted into this plastic threader, securely attached to thread teeny needles, perfectly! Used in quilting, beadwork, heirloom sewing and fine needlework, the super-fine, diamond-shaped wire is designed for threading 'Betweens #12,' 'Sharps #11 and 12,' Milliners #11, and Beading #10 & 12. Absolutely wonderful... you'll want these to keep in every needlecase you own! Ours are packaged 2 to a pack, in a clear, protective plastic sleeve. Really cool!


Ultra-Fine Threader

Klaer All-Purpose Threader
A great all-around needle threader... these will thread Tapestry needles as well as many others. The durable design features a wire that is fused into the plastic housing, along with a recessed cutting blade on the opposite end! There is even a small hole provided in case you want to attach it to a favorite chatelaine or project! Ours are packaged in pairs in a protective plastic sleeve. Very handy!


All-Purpose Threader

Klaer Needlework Threader
The heavy-duty version of our other two threaders, this one is perfect for Tapestry and Chenille needles. Used for needlepoint, cross-stitch, hardanger and embroidery, it's perfect for Pearl Cottons, yarn, ribbons and specialty threads (like some of the heavier Rainbow Gallery ones!). The square design of the threader allows the thread to 'spread out' as it passes through the eye of the needle, so there is much less stress, (and less breakage later on!) It features a recessed cutting blade, as well as a hole for attachment to a chatelaine or sewing case. Packaged by the pair in a wonderful clear plastic protective sleeve.


Needlework Threader

Klaer Threader Collection
A trio of needle threaders, each with a specific use. Specially packaged for The Silver Needle in a handy, clear storage sleeve. $7.95 pkg.

Ultra-Fine: for quilting and beading needles.

All Purpose: a good general use threader with a built-in cutter.

Heavy-Duty Threader: for larger threads and delicate fibers, too. Also has a built-in cutter.
