New Arrivals by Samplers and Primitives A trio of monochromatic designs... choose any color you like... hand-dyeds will give the most color depth. Each of the designs is presented in full sized chart format. Forever Free comes as two different design variations. Do the huge piece, or the smaller version, which has been re-arranged for you. Large measures 452 x 309, and will finish a huge 33 x 24 on 32ct. The smaller Forever Free gives you the same 'flavor' but it is only 241 x 164 - so 20 x 15 on the 32ct. Kind of hard to choose! United We Stand Quaker features some classic motifs surrounding the even more classic Americana symbols. Again, monochromatic, this measures 145 stitches square, so finishes 9 inches square on 32ct. Another trio of softy colored Americana designs by Samplers and Primitives Freedom Flowers is coded for DMC and measures 71 x 78 in stitch count, so will make a 4-1/2 round pin cushion piece. Liberty Bird features most of the same colors, except that it does call for a few Threadworx colors with no DMC conversion. Picture is good on the cover though, so I don't think color selection will be hard. It measures 92 x 98, so it'll be a 6-inch round. Blossoms for the Brave - This one calls for DMC, with just bits of hand-dyed. It measures 83 x 121... so not round, but comes in at 5 x 7-1/2... I kind of like just the urn and flowers - without the flags, border, upper diamonds and the extra leaves!
Pretty Bands and Florals from Samplers and Primitives Noel Band Sampler - I see two parts to this piece - that little skinny sampler on the left, and the elegant borders and urn on the right. Stitched on a cream background, threads are a medley of hand-dyeds, it measures 180 x 150. Chart runs $16.00 Noel Ornament Sampler - Another cute little house nestled in between evergreens, the reds and greens really bring out the design details on the Quaker medallions. Recommended fabric is a neutral or vintage color, 141 x 180, I don't think this one uses hand-dyeds - I think it's DMC! Chart runs $16.00 Rich Autumn Harvest - Wow, talk about a pop of pumpkin color! Measuring 126 x 100, you're probably down to 90 x 90 without the borders - this is just stunning! Calls for DMC and Gentle Art hand-dyeds, chart runs 16.00 Floral Band Sampler - Here's another pretty option of bands and that beautiful floral near the bottom. It would be pretty just by itself, finished into a small pin cushion. The chart says it is not suitable for white fabric - I think there are lots of design details we cannot see on here because the picture is too light. Measures a generous 154 x 266 - so 8-1/2 x 15 on 36ct - again, a nedley of DMC along with hand-dyeds. Chart runs $18.00
Springtime Bees and Summer Flowers Patriotic Bouquet - A pretty little piece, this measures 86 x 107 WITH the corner medallions, 68 x 80 without. Coded for DMC - there are 32 shades and another 9 shades of various hand-dyed flosses. A lot going on in this little space! The chart graphics are nice and big, $15.00 The Beehive Sampler - Soft creamy honey yellows and lavenders, this measures 220 x 104. Coded for DMC but also calling for 8 hand-dyeds with no conversions. It's not very big at all... just very charming! 12 x 6 on 36ct. Chart runs $14.00 The Voice of the Garden - This one is lovely. It needs a super honey-colored or creamy background - to help with the softness of the colors. 'The hum of the bees, is the voice of the garden.' I think just the bee and flower would be pretty alone as well. Measures 132 x 208 - so finishes approx 6-1/2 x 10 on 40ct! Chart $16.00. The Spring Begins - More pretty soft colors... 'Blossom by blossom, the spring begins.' Measures 139 x 167 - so a generous 12 x 14 on 36ct. Coded for DMC along with a few hand-dyeds. Needs a creamy background. Sweet Spring - Just charming! Pinks, honey and mossy greens, this measures only 147 x 132 but is chocked full of DMC shades and hand-dyeds! Finishes 8 x 7-1/2. We have the stitched model in the shop - and it's darling! Chart runs $12.00
Something New for Autumn and Thanksgiving from Samplers and Primitives A new company for us to carry, these 4 designs - available as charts - will be arriving in the shop the last days of August. The Autumn Quakers - Choose a white or creme for these, pretty acorn shadings with a hint of Quaker borders tossed in! Smaller one is close to 4 x 4, larger is closer to 6 x 6. The Autumn Alphabet - Companions the cushions, right at about the same size... same motifs, colors... all three of these would be pretty together in a woven basket with acorns and dried leaves! 1869 Thanksgiving Pin Cushion - Celebrating the year the US made Thanksgiving a National Holiday! Love the little shade pumpkins and vine... I might re-arrange those numerals on the date a little - but that's a personal thing. Tuck this in with the Autumn Quaker and Alphabet pillows.
Quaker Bee II, Home and A Celebration of Spring 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. The Quaker Bee II - Pretty golds and greens... pretty touch of Quaker on the edge, everything about it is pleasing to the eye, and it measures 95 - so could finish 4 x 4 if you did it over one on 25 Lugana! Home - Peaceful house, spring-green lawn, I like that huge floral urn peeking behind the house! Measures 136 x 145 - stitched with a medley of hand-dyeds. A Collaboration of Spring - Looks like the same little house - but different landscape! The topper border is really cool because it's different from the other three sides... it's just a little bigger than the HOME piece at 208 x 120.
