This is a selection of fun fobs and needlecases... designed by two gals in Atlanta who love both beadwork and stitching! Available as complete individual kits, I chose a few designs at Market that were my favorites! We have the stitched models in the shop... so I've tucked them into our color copier, enlarged them, and given you a few more pics than the actual kits do. We're inserting them into all the kits we're selling... things like fringe detail, the insides of the needlecases... stuff that makes a picture worth a thousand pages of instructions! I understand Peyote stitch, so I could follow the instructions. But if you are unfamiliar with it, you might want a friend close-by who knows Peyote.
Get your beading fingers ready! Fun New Things from Pat and Peggy of Fern Ridge. The fobs are just the best - you don't always need the matching stitched cases, the fobs are the sparkly and showy part! Hooty Owl Pin Cushion and Matching Beaded Fob - Well, isn't this little wool guy cute? His kit contains all the wools, buttons etc to make him. The fob is quite a bit smaller than most of the others, it'll finish in about 2 hours! I think the black top on it is still flat Peyote just folded over to make his face! California Dreamin' Fob - Stunning fire-y orange and yellow colors in this - just gorgeous! Poppycock Fob - Same bold color impact as the California Dreamin' piece... those rich red beads against the deep black - love it! Anniversary Fob and Case - Fern Ridge turns 25 years old this year. Pat and Peggy did a black and white fob and case set. The FR on there is their initials, and there is a 25-yr charm on the fob - you could leave those off or change the initials - either way, the set is charming. Case and Fob are fully kitted and available separately. Preserves Beaded Fob and Mini Case - This next set features little jelly jars and fruits on the stitched case, and a peach on the colorful beaded fob. Complete Kits. Dogwood Beaded Fob and Mini Case - Originally done for the Dogwood Chapter of EGA... P & P have re-vamped this alittle and given it new life. Fob and Case are complete kits, available separately.
Bats in a Row and A Crow Tin and Matching Scissor Fob The Fern Ridge Ladies have a new spooky/scary needle case and sewing set... their things are always over-the-top silly and fun. The 'Bats in a Row and a Crow' TIN kit contains that darling metal tin that looks like a Ouija Board (the mints are still inside even!), and then you stitch the measuring tape, needle book and pin cushion. The kit is stuffed full of things - spider charm, tin, beads and buttons, pins, ribbons, linen and backing fabrics, and papers to line the tin. All your smalls will fit into that tin - when you take out the mints! Next... make the matching beaded fob to dress up your scissors! That complete kit contains the thread, beads, patterns, charms - everything!
Strange Honey Fern Ridge's Pat and Peggy have one more new set of miniature stitched needle case and matching Peyote Bead Scissor Fob. Strange Honey is the title... both are worked in gorgeous Autumnal shades of corals, oranges, bronzes, with a little cream and cranberry tossed in! Kind of strange colors for Fall - but honestly, the fabric since the sewing case is gorgeous, and the crystals and beads on the fob trim are exciting and vibrant! The teeny case measures something like 1-1/2 x 2 when it's closed. Complete kit contains the charts, fabrics, beads, threads, ribbons and even a tiny wooden bee and ruler! The fob will finish in 4 to 5 hours... that kit includes all the necessary needles, threads, beads, a bee charm and the findings.
Fern Ridge Collections has new Needle Cases and Fobs! Pat and Peggy were here for a two-day retreat, and these charming needle tubes and scissor fobs were the projects! We are a FEW extra kits left-over... maybe a treat to yourself? The Thistle Floral Needle Cases nestled in that gorgeous embossed wooden box - you will be doing flat Peyote beading to cover 4 glass vials to tuck into this cute little 3 x 3 x 1-1/2 inch wooden box! Complete kit contains that box, all the beading materials and little glass vials to complete the set. Matching fob is available separately. The medallion on your box top will be an antiqued brass medallion. What you see in this picture is the Reclaimed Silver we made in the class. Your topper medallion will not be the hand-made silver, sorry! Spooky Needle Cases and Sidney Fob is the Halloween version of this awesome project. You'll cover these 4 vials with orange and black beads for your little box. We love the artwork around the sides - it's a wrought iron graveyard fence that has some damage in it... like a Zombie broke out of the graveyard! Your complete kits for this set contain the wooden box, vials, all the beads and thread necessary for everything, along with a filigree medallion piece for your box lid. Again, the fob is available separately.
The Fern Ridge Collections has new needle cases and matching scissor fobs... always fun to work up! Home of The Brave Needle Case and Beaded Scissor Fob - Always presented as full and complete kits, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave decorate both outsides of this fun folded case. Inside you'll find places for needles, a threader, and pocket to store some small scissors. All very festive, you get all the linens, threads, buttons, ribbons, linings, charms, buttons... everything you need for the fabric sewing case. Next is the Peyote Stitched scissor fob. Bright red, whites and blue, the charm is the Statue of Liberty. Small enough to do the beading part in about an hour - even the fringe doesn't look to intense to string. You need this one! Bohemian Paisley Sewing Case and Beaded Scissor Fob - All black and white... with pretty mother-of-pearl accent buttons, this set will work up in a jiff. The case is TINY and the kit contains all fabrics, buttons, threads, and ribbons. The beaded fob is just the perfect size to work up, and would look stunning attached to a black pair of scissors!

The case includes a pair of black scissors, a wooden acorn button, pre-sorted silks, gorgeous batik lining fabric, and 32ct khaki linen. The whole thing is about 6 x 6, but folds in half for the petite little case. The fob features uneven fringe, a tiny brass acorn charm, and exquisite matte finish khaki, moss, brown beads, mossy brown pearl shells, and some deep burgundy opaque crystals as well. Kind of elegant!
Single Beaded Scissor Fob Kits Single Beaded Scissor Fobs - These are all 'singles'... they do not have coordinating sewing cases at this time (they probably will not ever.) The perfect size to learn Peyote Beading on... you work these in your hands. You stitch the flat part first, then string the beads on there to make the fringe, and then add the cute charms and clasp up at the top - which attaches to scissors or whatever. The beading always confuses me when I start the first two rows... but when you get the hang of it, it's so much fun because the beads feel so good in your hands and they glisten in the light! Blue Sampler Bird - Features denim beads and creamy beads that look overdyed. Jeorge the Jelly Fish has pearl-y colored beads in his fringe... deep grey blues and pearl. Ollie the Octopus is full of bright marine blues, his crystal beads remind me of wet waves. They are a delighful mix of ocean blue colors.
Mr Snow has Come for the Winter! A new Peyote Stitch Beaded Scissor Fob by the Fern Ridge Girls - this little guy is darling! He's about 1-1/4 inches in size and sports another 1-1/2 inches of beaded fringe. His topper is a clam-shell closure to attach to your scissors (or zipper pull of a stitch pouch, or loop inside a sewing case, or to hand on your Christmas Tree as an ornament!) Done with loads of frosty white and elegant evergreen beads, his charms include a broom and pipe. The whole thing should take you approx 4 hours to complete. 3 If you're fast, 6 if you have a disaster (like spilling your beads!) Presented as the complete kit of beads, thread, charms, needle, and instructions. I do need to note that Fern Ridge offers BOTH kinds directions in their kits - colored charts for people like me to follow, as well as those long lines of numbers - like knitting patterns - for people who can follow that info easier.
Nicolas Fob Here Comes Santa Claus.. Here Comes Santa Claus! The Fern Ridge Ladies have a new beaded scissor fob design that looks like a super-fun project to construct. Santa is holding a wish list and his sack has several cute toy charms hanging from it - so I guess he's been reading that list! The complete kit contains the chart styles - colored and numbered - all the beads and findings, charms and threads. This little guy is approx 1 inch wide with 2 inches of Peyote and then another inch and a half of that wild and frizzy beaded fringe.

The complete kit contains all the linens, fabrics, threads embellishments - everything to make this 4 x 6 case. The Beaded fob is totally fun by itself - in case you want no case! Blue sky and the wheat growing in the Plains. you can see the wheat charm tucked in between the fronds of the grassy green fringe. Soft bead colors - everything matches between the case and fob. Case will take about 12 hours to complete - the fob - about 3-1/2!
HO, HO, HO! Here's a fun, last minute set of designs to dress up your holiday stitching. The ladies at Fern Ridge have a new small Peyote beaded scissor fob - a darling little Santa face - that companions a 2 x 2 needlecase. All red and white, both kits are complete and contain lots of unique beads and embellishments. Each of the projects should take you 3 to 6 hours to complete. Cute for a stocking stuffer or stitch group gift - nothing says you have to be the over-achieving friend and make it before you give it away! Anyway, each kit contains all the threads, beads, embellishemnts, fabric, just everything each kit needs.
The Fern Ridge Ladies have 6 new MINI Needle Case and Scissor Fob Sets and one new Sewing Wallet creation! We're picturing just three of the sets here... everything else is described and pictured below. Fully kitted, the 2 x 2 needle cases are done on various linens, and usually with hand-dyed flosses and silks. Pat and Peggy decorate the edges and always add lots of tiny pockets and flaps inside their tiny 2 x 2 cases to make them fussy and fun. Since they are the Queens of Beads, and they love embellishments of every kind... you'll get charms or buttons or ribbons or beads on these cases as well. The 3-inch beaded Scissor Fobs are always OVER THE TOP! HERE is where P & P go crazy with all their cool beads. The basic flat beaded part - the picture part - of the fob is about 1-1/2 inches long and worked in Peyote Stitch, which is a beading technique done in-hand, rather than a loom. Instructions can be daunting in the beginning, but these are totally fun to do! Each fob will take approx 3 to 4 hours start to fringed finish. Work the flat beaded area, add that glorious fringe - about 1-1/2 inches of it - and adorn your favorite scissors or a tote zipper pull! Because of the nylon thread you have used, they are stronger than they look! Display your finished sets in the Fern Ridge Scissor Box too! Everything comes fully kitted. Strawberry Pie - Bitty berries - some ripe and some - not so much! A pretty set full of pinks and greens, the fob features white blossom beads and red glass berries in the fringe. Simply Stitches - classy black and white... the case features lots of stitch doodles (haven't seen the inside yet!) but that darling fob steals the show again! They found a tiny dice bead, and a fun silver X - a cross stitch! I like all the little cube beads down in the fringed area. A Black Cat - Striking lime green and black... this set is not too involved and would be great for a beginner. The fringe on the fob isn't too frizzy so it's easy to deal with, and the case is just plain cute! Complete kits contain all the thread, fabric and beading 'ingredients' and there is even a wooden cat face thread board included in the case kit.
More Festive Sets Flamingo's Folly - Only a teaser pic of this right now! The fob is charming - love those corals and blues in the fringe! The stitched case promises a mother-of-pearl fish button embellishment, but I am sure there is more to this than just that. Details to follow when our shipment arrives!
7 New Needlecase and Beaded Fob Sets The Fern Ridge ladies have been busy! We have 7 new needlecase and beaded fob sets to show you. The beaded scissor fobs are all flat Peyote beading - which you do in your hands - not on a loom. They look super hard, and really aren't at all. The most challenging part is keeping control of your threads and not tangling them between the 'frizzies' of the fringe! We have a ton of models in the shop for all of Pat and Peggy's things, so next time you're in... we need to give you 'a tour!' All of their kits come complete with all the threads, beads and extra stuff you need! They have actual photographs inside of stitch layouts and clear stitch diagrams and good color pictures to help you with your finishing.
Carrot Patch The Needle/Sewing Case of this set is done on white linen, and is lined with bright orange. Stitched with silks, it finishes about 2 x w when closed, and comes with that cute bunny-shaped wooden thread board. One of my pics shows the kit ingredients - the beads and charms are just stunning! The Carrot Patch fob has the same cheerful bright greens and oranges, and more rabbit and carrot charms... this one has a few less rows of Peyote than some others... TOPS, it'll take 3 to 4 hours from start to finish.
Magnificent Magnolia Set This little fob is really elegant! The green, cream and white are highlighted by the golden yellow. They've put white opalescent flower beads into the fringe. The matching stitched case is about 3 x 4... the original picture shows a rectangular shell button but the kits have been released with the most gorgeous creamy mother-of-pearl fillagree drops instead... two of them. Background on this case is natural linen.
Night Owl The browns, greens and golds in this set are stunning. The incredible case kit comes with a feather waxer, a wooden owl ruler lots of butter-scotchy beads, and luscious hand-dyed green silk ribbon - which is there to hold scissors. The case is lined with green calico fabric, pockets for those wood tools and waxer... lots of special stitches, and an awesome beaded edge to the case.
Just Love Oh just the prettiest pinks and whites in this! The case is stitched on white - and the kit comes with the heart thread board. The fob features 6 different shades of raspberry pinks, with silver accent beads down at the ends of the fringe. (They are actually tiny hearts.) Not too large a project... but this one has those 'frizzies' of beads in the fringe that like to get tangled with your thread while you're stringing them!

The Girls have commissioned wooden storage trays to display your scissors with all your gorgeous finished fobs attached - and then remembered to add storage for the matching stitched cases! Measuring about 2-1/2 inches high and about 4 x 7 in size, you have 12 holes here to hold scissors, and room for about 6 cases inside! You COULD use this tray for other scissor fobs and little cases and cushions as well... we won't tell! Really a neat storage piece - it really shows off all your hard work, and lets you enjoy all those stunning beads!

Find curiosities to make your cards your own. The ladies also suggest tucking a special pair of scissors into one of the slots as another accent. The whole thing is such a neat idea... such a fun project to stitch. I have no idea if they'll offer boxes separately or not... we'll just have to wait and see! For now... all of this comes as a complete kit - box is already constructed - linens, charts and threads are included... you add buttons!

Complete assembly instructions are inside, along with some nice finishing photographs to help you.
