 Rascals, Troublemakers and Nibblers from Petal Pusher Sounds like fun trio! By Petal Pusher, we have new 4 x 4 designs that are full of repeating motifs that make neat patterns. Rascals features little rabbits eating the carrots growing in the garden. All the carrots are the repeating design, that together with their tops, form the design. Troublemakers are the black crows beginning to eat the pumpkins in the patch. Nibblers features the cutest little mice hiding amidst the strawberries. Honestly, the cutest things! Great colors in each - just DMC - they measure 61 in stitch count. Offered in separate chart packs, Barbie gives you her source for the wooden boards shown in her finishing. They come in unfinished wood - you get to paint and distress to your liking. | |||||

 Shuts a Door, Complete Sentence, Delightful, and Underestimate Me by Mary Engelbreit from Imaginating Here's a new 'Advice-for-Life- piece based on the artwork of Mary Engelbreit - adapted to Cross Stitch by Imaginating. Choose a black or chalkboard fabric that you can SEE to stitch on. Grab a skein of white floss, and some black for the backstitching, and get to work! This finishes about 7 x 9 on 14ct - and I can think of several places I think it would hang perfectly! Presented as a single leaflet. We have a few other designs just like this one... none of them need too many words to get their messages across! Enjoy! | |||||
 Tam's Creations - A Hand-Stitched Baseball Cap! Isn't this the most fun thing? You need to be a little bit of a seamstress to actually assemble this hat, but finishing instructions with actual photos of the process, are in the chart. Designed to be stitched in a multitude of whatever colors YOU want... they have done this on 28ct fabric. What a fun thing for a super-stitcher to wear... and what a fun thing to make for a stitcher friend who might need a little lift in her life! Presented as a chart. | |||||
 Jolly Snowman, Santa Baby and Lady Claus from Sew Emma Jolly Snowman is new and joins Santa Baby and Mrs Claus! By Sew Emma, this Holiday trio is retro in personality, and should remind you of Santa as you remember him when you were little. All three are presented as separate charts - each is done on a light blue background - so the white shows up. Worked with DMC, they all finish approx 5 x 5 on 14ct. Simple and cute, they'd be fun finished onto three sides of a standing cube, or individually as well. | |||||

 Pin Cushions and Ornaments by Samperbird Stitchery | |||||
 Sturdy and Pretty Finishing Display Boards by Chantelle's 141 Design Company These are the wonderful boards that Hands On Design uses in a lot of her finishing treatments. (Go to her page, you'll see tons of examples of boards in use.) Made from MDF, medium density fiber board, which is a composite wood product. These feature a thin veneer layer on each side. They are 3/8 of an inch thick, and love no extra finish or paint - just not a stain treatment. Varied sized and styles... everyone is using those super-strong magnets to attach finished needlework - one magnet on the back of your work, the other on the back of the board. That way, you can switch designs in a jiff, and re-use your boards across the seasons! | |||||
 Quaker Bee II, Home and A Celebration of Spring from Samplers and Primitives Three new releases by Samplers and Primitives - we love her gentle color shadings. We have gorgeous acorn designs from last Fall, and here are a few Spring pieces.

Coded for DMC, they feature little kitties all dressed up for the seasons, and they are CUTE!
| |||||
Paola hand-makes all her own clay buttons and pins. Such pretty shading is created by layers and layers of slightly different colored polymer clay that she stacks together and shapes to create her clay 'canes.' Each little 'thing' is a cross-slice of that cane... delightful to watch the process. Anyway, her things are charming, and while they do not have specific designs to go with them, they are delightful and can poke into anything just on their own! Sets of 3 pins, we have baby squirrels, ladybugs, a spring medley and seashells with a sailboat. I bet you can think of numerous different cushion designs for these. | |||||
 The Foldi-Go Light from Daylight Company Wow, this is the coolest little light! It weighs less than 2 pounds - including its little hard-sided carrying case! Rechargeable, it has 8 hours of battery time - with a battery level indicator. It extends, bends, rotates, has 4 levels of LED 6000K brightness, and will work for a million different tasks! A perfect little light to travel with, every time we unwrap one to display in the shop - we sell it in a jiff! SO compact and lightweight! We had been waiting since November for a re-supply, and now they're here! | |||||
 Presenting Tulip Cottage Collection and Mousy Sweetheart from Luhu Stitches Aren't these designs charming? The Tulip Cottage set of charts features three designs - the Cottage (big at 8 x 11!) , the spray of flowers - Flora's Posies - (medium at 6-1/2 x 4-3/4) , and the darling little bunny - Flora's Basket - sniffing in her garden. Choose any white or pale pink fabric for these, they are shown finished with Lady Dot trims and velveteen of Berry Crush. Mousy Sweetheart is precious too! He's on any light pink and he's holding a cheese Valentine for you! Finishes bitty - and so cute! | |||||
 Several from Scattered Seed Samplers The chart includes an actual-sized template for the fabric size, and another for the green leaf top. Make that from vintage fabric or some wool. I like that Feather Stitching on the backside, too; it closes your berry! Coded for DMC, it'll stitch in a jiff and be a charming addition to your filled bowl of bowl fillers! | |||||
 2 Designs from Romy's Creations
| |||||
 Samplings of Lace Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter from Jan Hicks Creates Oh my gosh, this is a lovely set of 'seasonally colored' lace motif pin cushions. Lovely, gentle flowing designs... each 'season' isn't really 'seasonal' - the colors you work them in simply suggest. You CAN work the Winter set in the pinks of Spring... nobody will be the wiser... so this means that you can choose whichever one of these 4 charts you like best and stitch them in any colors you want! Each of the three pieces in each season is the same size across the collection, so they will all mix and match. The smallest square is about 3 inches on 36, the larger square is about 4 inches, and the strawberries are about 2 x 4. Just a really, really pretty offering of coordinating designs - ready for your favoite colors! | |||||
 Presenting Dr Slick Razor-Sharp Scissors Coming to us from the Fly-Fishing Industry are these incredible 3-1/2 and 4-inch scissors with huge "Gold Loop" finger holes, that can handle some pretty serious cutting needs! Wonderfully rounded handles with a nice weight to them, these feature larger finger holes and wonderfully fine and sharp precision cutting blades. The blades feature a very fine micro-serration to them which keeps your threads where you want them when you cut them, and yet they feel as smooth as butter. As far as the finger holes go, we have a comparison picture showing the difference between our DOVO embroidery scissors and the handles of these scissors on our scissor page... along with lots of other specific scissor details. Dr Slick uses words like 'hypodermic sharp' to describe their tips, and Tungsten Carbide vs Stainless Steel to describe some of the metals. All I know is that they have a really nice balance and weight to them, they cut like a dream, and the blades and tips are SHARP. Actually almost too big for my hands... I know lots of you will LOVE these! | |||||
 Presenting Amazonia from Laurel Burch for Mill Hill The Mill Hill People have adapted 4 new designs by Laurel Burch in to Cross Stitch. Animals from the Rainforests of the Amazon... aren't they awesome? Worked on 14ct Olive Green perforated paper, the colors in these are stunning - the animals are bold and stylized - and they are just dynamite! Complete kits include the chart, paper, flosses, beads and needles. They are not solid beading - just enough glitz to highlight textures and give these animals personality. We have Giraffes, Leopards, a Mom Monkey with her baby, and Zebras - with wild eyes! Mill Hill makes frames for these... available separately. | |||||
 Polka Dot Scissor Sheaths! Aren't these fun? These are pretty 'pleather' polka dot covers for your scissors. (Pleather is a kind way to say 'fake leather' or 'soft plastic!') Offered in 6 colors and 2 different sizes, the smaller 2-1/2 inch one fits a standard 3-1/2 inch embroidery scissor. The larger 3-1/4 inch sheath will work for 4 to 5-inch scissors. But... actually each will do the job for either size - some just like more shank coverage, and some scissors fit in one size better than the other. In the pic, I have our 4-inch Antonia by DOVO pictured with the larger sheath, and our 3-1/2 Buckingham by WASA pictured by the smaller ones. (If you have to have a specific color, not a problem, just let us know in the comments box during your check-out process - we'll do our best!) | |||||
 
The American Trilogy from Twin Peak PrimitivesThis is a really neat 'retro-inspired' designs to celebrate America! The Twin Peak girls are from The Netherlands... and I usually think the designers from other countries don't always 'get' our 'Americana Flavor'... but these are pretty good! Charts are large, and in addition to the black and white version, you get a complete color version as well. Available separately or all three together in one leaflet... choose just your favorite one or two... or do all three for a really nice trio presentation!
| |||||
 Pretty Plastic-Papery Pouches and Puzzles from Kaffe Fassett Help stay organized with this pair of recycled-materials zipper topped pouches! They are made from recycled water bottles! Decorated with the artwork of Kaffe Fassett, the smaller pouch measures 5 x 8 and features his 'Fabulous Florals' Quilt. The larger zip pouch measures 6 x 9 and is covered with Kaffe's 'Diamond Quilt' pattern. Then, just for fun, I ordered a few matching PUZZLES! I know - nothing to do with cross stitch. But the Holidays and family visits always mean puzzles, and I couldn't pass these by! A quilter you love would LOVE one of these! The Puzzles are 1000 pieces, and finish about 20 x 29-1/2. | |||||
 Miniature Sampler Pin Drums from Olde Colonial Designs Oh my gosh, these are the CUTEST little cushions! Designed by Olde Colonial's Kelly, each is stitched on one-inch wide 26ct German linen banding. The cut of band in the kit in only 6 inches long... so when rolled, your tiny drum is only that 1-inch high by approx 1-1/2 inches wide. You are stitching with one thread of floss over one thread on the band... so each design is full of tiny details. We have three different designs so far... more are in the works... but get these stitched first! Smelling the Daisies has bunnies in their flower garden. Waiting for Santa has tiny evergreens and reindeer on it. Grazing in the Grass has sheep and a little cow amidst the summer flags. Presented as kits of the chart, banding, Skirtex and interfacings, topper and bottom wool felts and boards, and warm and natural for puffy... Pam has great photos in here of her finishing process. All you need to add are the bits (and I mean BITS) of floss. Just the sweetest little things... you can see my hand in the pic to gauge their charming size! | |||||
Sea Box from Rovaris*Sea* is stitched in the middle of this charming 5 x 7-ish stitched medley of underwater critters and foliage. Seahorses, a crab, and a big octopus... it's a busy little underwater scene. Along with the chart, you get this cool 7 x 7 x 2-ish inch wooden tray. It features that display area for your stitched cushion, and three holes to hold your needlework implements. Livia is including the striped finishing fabric you see, and a bunch of cute seaside charms that are dangling there off the cushion. The two included wood tools supplied are one seam ripper and one frogger. | |||||
 Antrim's Folly by Heart's Ease Examplar Workes This has been one of Theresa Baird's exclusive class pieces that is now available in chart format. Just a gorgeous piece, Theresa's inspiration came from a Betty Ring sampler that sold at a Sotheby's auction for over a million dollars in 2012. She was enchanted by the mansion with the cedar trees, the barnyard with the animals, the young lady sitting straight and proud atop a horse, the farmhouse on the hill, and the flanking baskets of fruits and flowers. It measures 257 x 355, and is worked in silks. The chart is 38 pages... it is full of stitch diagram detail, and actual close-up pics of some areas. Not for the faint of stitcher - not the quickest stitch either! Just an EXQUISITE needlework design to tantalize the brave! | |||||
 Presenting the Music in America Series from Ronnie Rowe Wow... these are definitely for the serious music lover - and a serious stitcher! Ronnie Rowe is a really fun guy. I'd heard about his stuff for years... I didn't know he was a 'real person' until he showed up at market for the first time a couple of years ago! The man is eternally cheerful and assured me he was, indeed, alive! Completely talented - he sketches out all this stuff and then stitches it and charts it! Absolutely unbelievable in detail and vision, his designs will remain classics. His covers really don't do justice to the stitched pieces. New this year are these 5 tributes to music. Each is presented as a chart and coded for just plain 'ol DMC floss. His style is to mimic pen and ink - these are so exciting, so realistic. They'd be lovely in a music room, recording studio, office, school... anywhere someone can appreciate them. They are generous in size - all around 12 x 17 (180 x 270 or 300 in stitch count) - so visually commanding! | |||||
 Cute 'Postcards' from your Travels! from Open Road Abode Needleworks Open Road Abode's cute little campers go all over the USA! What a fun reminder of the travels that lay ahead of us! This is a fun little collection of campers - all of them finish about 4 x 6 in size. Stitch them in one color - or go through your stash and find some colors you like. They are meant to be cute and quick. Fun to frame with trip pictures, or hang 'em in your camper! Open Road has a whole collection of National Parks and cute RV designs... you'll see 16 more like these on her page, along with a few larger cabin designs as well. There are 7 offerings that are actually 'postcards' - small charts on postcard sized cardstock. Pictured above are 3 of them... click through to see the rest. Summer IS coming! | |||||
 Oh my Gosh - Little Friends from Valerie Pfeiffer If these aren't the cutest little people... they are each only 2 x 3 inches in size!!! Presented as small charts, they are coded for DMC floss, and each pattern has two charts -- one that highlights the cross stitches, the other that highlights any backstitching. Absolutely precious, the birds are also offered in other larger designs by Valerie -- pictured on our inside pages. They are 'kind of pricey' -- we are aware of that -- but I guess it's less expensive than planning a trip to the UK just to bring a few home! | |||||
 Charming Designs from Madame La Fee All the way from France, even though her instructions are written in French, you can always read the DMC floss numbers and match them to the symbols! All of these finish about 12 x 12 on 16/32ct fabric... our shop models of some of her other things are generous in size and really lovely. On the Village scene, you can stitch just that square take-out of the church. Very do-able as ornaments, her shading is really nice. The Vin de France and Souvenir de Paris charts could be special remembrances from past trips! | |||||
 We have beautiful designs by Marjorie Massey. Even though she's French... we can still read the chart symbols and our familiar DMC color numbers! (Her chart titles are very confusing and numbering is not consistent, so we'll try to do our best labeling them in our mouse-overs and dropdowns!) All are available in chart format, very clear, colored graphs. Remember, you can change colors and fabrics - it's YOUR stitching! Woodland Sampler - Stitched in only one or two colors - choose a hand-dyed that you like against a background fabric that you like - absolutely nothing is called on the chart! Put your family initial in the center circle... and you know what? You can even change the alphabet to spell anything else besides THE ALPHABET! Stitch count is approx 170 x 200, the chart is nice and big, and she does have it printed in two colors of ink. | |||||
 Harbor Haven - The Complete Village from By the Bay Needleart Donna Bayliss' 12-part Harbor Haven is FINISHED - and we have all the parts! Stitch just one or two sections - joined or singly for a bitty village - or do the whole thing, it's charming! Finishing 5 x 42 on 32ct, changing fabric size will really give you finished size options. The single scenes are only 3-1/2 x 5. Charted for DMC floss, there are no special stitches in here... but she says you can add anything you want... and sub hand-dyeds if you have something you want to use. | |||||
