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.
Prairie Necessaire Sewing Case and Scissor Fob This is a cute Little-House-on-the-Prairie inspired set of smalls... the case is lace trimmed and features buttons, old fashioned safety pins, a spinning wheel chart and a tiny wooden covered wagon button. 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 April Showers - A spring rainshower is the theme behind this pretty rose, purple and grass green set. No design details yet, but they do have frosted flower tulip beads and the ends of the organza ribbon ties on the case, and a cute teeny umbrella charm on the beaded fob. May's Bounty - Features butterflies! Bright summery colors of blues, yellow or bright oranges, the fringe on the fob looks kind of 'out-there!' 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.
Silken Threads No sewing case this time around - but a Pin Ball! The little tiny spider fob is actually a good beginning piece to do - it's about half the size of all the other fobs they do. The fringe is controllable ad colors are pretty. I can't tell you the spider charm is 'cute' because it looks real! The kitted matching pin ball is 1-1/2 inches in diameter. You are simply doing a thin band of Peyote - like the little Santa Claus bracelet they have - and then wrapping it around the ball! They've even attached the little bead/ball feet on there for you, so it won't roll away! Another 'real' spider charm on this one too!
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!
Juicy Bite Set Wow... lip-puckering bright yellow and greens! This case is stitched on white, and lined with a pretty retro-flavored pear fabric lining. They have tiny glass beads in here that look like avocados - they dress the case corners, and this kit comes with a cute miniature wooden pear thread board.
Nashville Sweet Bag and Fob Set If you like bright aqua with touches of lime green - this is for you! Playful flowers decorate the fob and the fringe is full of clear aqua glass flower beads. The Bag is made of the yellow-green fabric included and lined with the bright aqua fabric. I love that tiny covered spool though... but I can't tell you what it does... because the kit I brought home with me to write your words has all the cool materials and beads in to but no paperwork! (I have to go back to the shop and get that fixed!) Anyway, the sampler on the bag front is about 3 x 4.
By the Light, Summoning, Buttons and Black Lace, Under The Sea, Family Fourth Pat and Peggy have been super-creative these past few months dreaming up all sorts of cute new cases and Peyote Beaded Scissor Fobs! They are all due in the shop this week, and until i can get my hands on the actual kits - I cannot tell you fabrics and colors... so will fill in that info ASAP! The stitched cases are all completely kitted - finish about 3 x 6 and then fold. The completely kitted beaded fobs (which take between 3 and 4 hours to complete) are generally an inch and half log, BEFORE all that lavish beaded fringe they love to add. The kits are stuffed full of cool stuff... and they are including pretty good inside pics for your finishing info. All fobs are $37, all cases run $36. Family Fourth - Looks like a schoolhouse - I think the green beads on the fob are sculpted flower shapes! By the Light has crows and pumpkins - lots of delicious black and orange beads. Under the Sea - These two always find the CUTEST seaside-themed charms and use the prettiest aqua blue fabrics on their mermaid projects... look at those mermaid charms and that star fish! Buttons and Black Lace is a little more subdued... really pretty metal and pearl buttons to add a silver hue to the classy black and white. Summoning is the back of a little witch working on her spell! The artwork on the outside of the case is the same as the beaded fob... cute charms too! Then, the Wooden Scissor Tray! Wow, is this cool! 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!
Boardwalk Revue, Bunny Rabbit, Bee Bungalow, Acorns Among Us, and Love You This Much The Fern Ridge ladies - Pat and Peggy - have been busy during the lock-down BEADING their fingers off! We have 5 new Peyote Beaded Fobs to prove it and 4 matching stitched needle cases! The fobs are always the showy-glitzy half of the sets, so I am cheating here and showing you the glamour and sparkle. Our models will be finished in a few weeks - at which point I'll have much more fun pics to show you, but for now... here we go! Each of the fobs comes as its own complete kit. I have taken P & P's classes at market, and can tell you that (once you get past the first three rows of the Peyote!).... it is super-fun and the neatest thing to do. (You cannot do these in the car!) You hold this in your hand to create...and you work from the straight bottom edge up to the pointed top. P & P present these as either a color chart to follow (I like that) or a page of horrible run-on numbers that knitters love - and know how to follow! It's just so funny to see how different minds follow instructions! So, you finish the (approx 1-1/2 inches) of flat beading, attach the top decorations and scissor clip. Then, you get to string all the flashy and cool beads all along the bottom to make that one or two-inch fringe. They give you the actual bead pictures in the instructions, so you know what (pre-labeled) beads go where. The most challenging part of the fringe is keeping the finished strands out of the way of the one you're stringing! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the finished products... I'm just so impressed with myself for making them! Boardwalk Revue - Gorgeous seaside blue crystal and frosted beads, a bicycle and flip flops, and even a teeny seahorse! The only one this time around without a matching needle case. Complete kit comes with beads, threads, findings and charms.
Bunny Rabbit, Rabbit A charming set of bright and happy chartreuse greens, wooden browns, and oranges... the fob is glitzy and bright. The case is stitched on Zweigart's Lime Green Linen, it's lined with darling bright green polka dot fabric, tied with bright orange ribbon, and holds a little wooden bunny thread board! It's all included in the kit that makes the 3 x 6 fold-to-close-and-tie little case!
Bee Bungalow What a charming set! The bee fob is darling - such a profusion of gold on there. The case is done on Amber linen, your lining fabric is super-gorgeous too. Tiny beads with lazy-daisy wings make the bees flying around the wooden hive thread board that fits inside one of the interior pockets!
Acorns Among Us OK... The fob is woodsey - it features lots of wooden beads in the fringe. The little case features a small wooden acorn thread board, along with a brass squirrel charm and lots of other button embellishments. The finishing lining fabric is gorgeous... just everything is yummy! Ties together with rust satin ribbon.
Love You This Much Look at all the bright reds in the fob... the pic is pretty good on this one. The case is stitched on gray linen and lined with the most FUN wild red and pink hearts set against a black background finishing fabric. Silver Celtic heart charms trim the ends of the gray satin ribbon ties, and another cute little heart-shaped thread board is included with this one! VERY pretty!
Sunflowers and Crows Seems like we're just getting past the sunflower and crow season... so technically you have a year to get ready for them again with these! Fern Ridge's matching beaded scissor fob and pin cushion set is FULL of lip-puckering late fall color. The linen for the 3-1/2 x 5 cushion is 28ct Riviera Olive - a strong olive green, and the flosses are bright golden yellow, deep burgundy, along with crisp green and cinnamon. The complete kit contains that fabric and thread, along with the Chianti Lady Dot Ball edging trim, the hand-dyed silk ribbon to hold a pair of your scissors, coordinating batik backing fabric, the JABCO clay sunflower button and 4 burgundy corner buttons, and the little glass black crow pin by The Glasshopper. The matching Peyote Stitched beaded fob is stunning! Those beads and crystals in the fringed decoration really pick up the light... I can't stop playing with all that beaded fringe! This kit comes with everything you need to make that piece - which should take you 4 to 6 hours to complete.
Mountain Mist This little 1 x 2 beaded fob features an earthy landscape in the picture half, and sparkly 'red rock' and sky blue crystals in the fringe. The whole thing should take you about 4 hours to make, the complete kit contains all the beads, thread, and clam shell finding to attach to a favorite pair of scissors.
Beaded Bracelets! Here is a pair of super-simple Peyote Beaded bracelets by Pat and Peggy of Fern Ridge Collections. Everybody always 'gets' the easy beading part of their fobs... so here are the fobs - only skinnier and much longer! Each beaded band is just about an inch in width, and the ends are literally sewn together around the gorgeous silver sliding closure piece. The complete kits contain all the beads, thread and little charms dangling from the design. If you aren't a 'bracelet gal' - just loop these around the strap of your tote bag, or make them as flat ornaments for your Christmas tree! Everyone's Uncle has joined this little group this week! The blue bead background is a rich denim blue... he's just the cutest!
Fern Ridge's Swan Button Box! Here Now! All the 'pieces and parts' are ready! This is a charming button box by Fern Ridge's Pat and Peggy. What a fun way to display your needlework and special buttons you might be saving! The box - approx 3 to 5 inches in size - features 5 slots to rest 5 stitched panels. Fern Ridge gives you a trio of blue buttons to go on the 'blue bunny' card, but want you to use your special memory buttons (and other cool stuff) from wedding dresses, tattered baby clothes, worn out jean patches... maybe some special silk ribbons from something. 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!
Christmas Hare Beaded Fob & Matching Sewing/Needle Case Pat and Peggy of Fern Ridge have another new beaded scissor fob piece along with matching needle case. It did come out before Christmas this last year... but we waited till now to put it up... now you are almost a YEAR ahead of schedule with it! The Hare Peyote beaded fob features a stately rabbit silhouette with Pat and Peggy's signature beaded fringe all along the bottom edge. It looks involved, but is actually pretty easy to do. The kits contain positively everything you need - all the pretty beads and baubles - everything. The 1-1/2 inches of Peyote itself should take approx 2 to 3 hours, the 2 inches of fringe will be another 2. (Our model stitcher can knock one of these out in 3 hours, as a comparison... so 5 hours is pretty accurate.) Festive red and green crystals accented with lots of gold! The Sewing/Needle Case is stitched on 32ct Flax linen with Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Collards, Oilcloth, Juniper, Whiskey and Red Rocks. They've tossed in a few special stitches here and there... and inside the case, there is a tiny stitched needle case, and 4 bone rings to hold treads. Fern Ridge has new charting software - the chart in here is in COLOR! There are color photos in here of the the case insides, and actual-sized templates for the finishing (but this time, there is no calico lining fabric.) The case finishes about 4 inches in size when folded closed.
The Gathering Sewing Case and Fob Set Oh these girls - Pat and Peggy - obsessed with morbid little crows and spiders and gravestones! (At least on their delightfully detailed little sewing smalls!) As always, the sewing case kit comes with the linen and lining fabrics, gorgeous hand-dyed silk threads, luscious beads, and this time a spider charm. Complete assembly instructions are inside, along with some nice finishing photographs to help you. The fob has more awesome beads - all the colors coordinate with the case design, and actually, this fob is a little easier to construct than some, because the fringe isn't out-of-control frizzy and wild. Delightful little crows loitering around the graveyard... if you have black scissors, attach that finished fob!
Bring On The Beads Fob and Sewing Case This is a beautifully colored set full metallic frosted beads, and golden/mossy fabrics. Pat and Peggy made a pocket in the sewing case and actually have included a 6-compartment plastic bead case in the kit!

Fob finishes approx 4-inches from top to bottom of fringe, and case is approx 3 x 4 when closed. Complete kits contain the charts, beads, threads, findings, linings, everything!
The Hour Sewing Case and Beaded Fob Kits Pat and Peggy have delivered another fun Halloween-themed case and fob set... this one features a black witch on mangy hand-dyed linen.

Owl and spider charms in the case kit, the fob has a really cool silver broom in it. Complete kits of everything you need, these are always wild, crazy and super fun to enjoy when you finish them! Even though they look involved, they really aren't too bad to do!
