More New Kits from Praiseworthy Stitches Redbird Christmas Tree - this is a sweet free-standing tree, but could be an ornament as well. The tree is stitched on 32ct linen, and scattered with a few red seed bead 'berries.' After your quick finish of wrapping around cardboards, there is a stick and little wooden spool to construct the stand. Susan gives you everything you need in here... you get the chart, linen, threads, beads, backing boards and green fabric, stick, spool, and fabric to wrap the spool. I think she just used a magic-marker to color the stick! Little Bird's Christmas Kit - This kit is packaged in a 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 x 1/2 inch Holiday tin. It becomes the sewing case, and you're making the Joy & Noel pin cushion to tuck inside. You get the tin, chart, linen and flosses, backing fabrics, some plastic snowflake thread winders, and the beads you see to make the scissor fob. All very cute and compact!
2 Several Fun Things Came Home from Market with Us. Sleigh Ride - This is 2024's Annual Christmas scene... this joins PS's other 10 charming Christmassy Village pieces - full of busy-ness and 'Everything Winter.' Sleigh Bells Ring is the verse along the bottom - goes with Jingle All the Way, Joy to the World - you can peruse her page and see them all. Finishes approx 15-1/2 x 14 on 32ct - again, that rich Nocturne hand-dyed linen color (we have several different brands with great colors in different counts, you'll need a fat quarter if you choose 32.) It calls for 28 different hand-dyeds (you'll need 9 skeins of Weeks Snowflake!) and a smattering of beads and thin metallics. Always fun, we have several of Praiseworthy's companion villages stitched in the shop and everyone loves them! Sunflower Farm Stacker - This is a scarecrow version that matches Mr Snowman and Creepy Pumpkin! Chart calls for three different colors of fabric, (everybody has different ideas about what they want to use), hand-dyed Weeks flosses, and bits of Weeks Wool used in the assembly. The Stacker is built around an antique wooden thread spool (this is what gives it stability to stand) that is included with the chart. A little more challenging on the finishing end than a pin cushion or something, but do-able. SUPER cute... all three are actually smaller than they look in the pic - they are about 7 inches tall! Lighted Haunted Caskets - Praiseworthy Stitches has more little wooden casket scissor cases this year! Measuring just 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 x 4-1/4, the hinged lids have with several random cut-out designs so you can see into the casket. Best of all, they light up inside! Stick your scissors in there just bare, or stitch the little pumpkin pile 'blanket' to hold them in there. The complete kit contains the casket (raw wood so you can paint it or color it with markers if you want), beads to make a scissor fob, and chart, linen and threads to make the pumpkin pile blanket and paper moon to fit inside. The casket has a little switch on the bottom so you can turn your light off and on. We get some of these every year, and we always sell out - so here is this Halloween's Batch!
New Arrivals Coming Home from Market Simple Gifts - Snow - Well, some don't think snow is a special gift... but I love it!

Chilly Willy Stacker - Here's a standing stitched snowman just like the Holly Jolly Tree and Creepy Pumpkin Stackers! Choose some fabrics (all the same color or not - but keep the count the same), stitch and scrunch the layers together to make this 10-inch high little man! There is an antique wooden spool included with the chart - it is the mounting stick for your three layers, and the top of it is hidden under Willy's wool hat.

A Snowman's Christmas & Holly Jolly Stacker Pam and Susan of Praiseworthy Stitches have debuted their two new Christmas designs for this upcoming year - their annual Christmas Village Scene and another Stacker piece - just like Creepy Pumpkin Stackers! Both are presented in chart format. A Snowman's Christmas joins the super-charming set of bustling Christmas Town Square pieces - like Churchyard Christmas and Winter at Sugar Hill. Lots of quaint houses and bitty scenes with children and animals everywhere, this year we have a very festive snowman by the village ice rink. The evergreen trees this year are see-thru! Look how they charted them - lots of repeating lines. Lots of design texture there - really pretty. You can see through those thin branches, and it just makes everything more shivery cold and snowy! You'll need a fat quarter cut of Picture This Plus's hand-dyed linen... our shop models work on about 10 different shades they make... you just want that varigation in the background to simulate the cloudy, wintery sky. Touches of metallics here and there... this whole set of Christmas Scenes, Santa's Midnight Ride and Going To Grandma's are ALL cute! Holly Jolly Stacker is a fun way to choose three different fabrics that you like that go together. Pam and Susan are painting antique wooden spools green - that is your 'tree trunk' - and have included them with the chart. I can't tell yet what the fabric colors are in this yet... but we improvised a lot with Creepy Pumpkins, so I imagine we'll have options here too. Just choose three fabrics that are the same count, and the same 'feel' - soft or stiff, and your stitched tree with be darling!
