Sugar Glider, #2 in the Year in the Woods II Series
from Cottage Garden Samplings
Design #2 in her 2025/26 Year in the Woods II Series, he might be cool stitched for your woodland cabin.
We think he's from Australia, so he might be in their woods - but not ours! He measures 100 x 130 in size and is a very cute little guy. |
It's Looking like Christmas in July by Flamingo Toes!
A pair of Holiday-inspired needle minders are here! Santa's Sleigh and Vintage Santa with his Tree will be fun to use when you're busy working on Christmas projects.
Both are enameled pieces full of bright reds, pinks greens and white... with lots of gold design detail. |
Stitchy Spot from October House
Another Skinny Mini chart by October House will be a quick stitch! Due to arrive in the shop mid to late July, it is presented as a small chart, with a gorgeous model pic on the cover.
Measuring just 161 x 38... all of these Skinny Minis finish about 2 x 9... and make the cutest pin cushions or frame weights. Stitched with a medley of hand-dyeds - not much of any one of them - you can change our colors to match YOUR Stitchy Spot if necessary! |
The Mill Hill Village
You'll recognize these Christmas Village businesses as Mill Hill Button and Bead kits that are super hard to get right now. BUT, we have Wichelt's 40th Anniversary book in stock (published in 2010 when they WERE 40 years old) and they INCLUDED the charts for these 4 bead kits right in THIS BOOK!
Currently we do have the Apothecary and Bakery bead kits in stock - but not the General Store or Toy Shoppe (which have been unavailable for over a year.) So... get this book! You can purchase the beads open stock!
Actually, the book is gorgeous. It has 40 pages and includes designs by several artists Mill Hill represents. There are florals by Permin, pretty cross stitch designs by Debbie Mumm, Sticks, Jim Shore, these 4 village pieces, a Sandy Cozzolino Santa, Mirabilia, and Thea Gouverneur. You'd never know how good this book is based on its cover! |
Seaside Alphabet Sampler Stitch-Along
from By the Bay Needleart
This is a charming alphabet - coming in a set of 7 releases - beginning August 1st. By The Bay's Donna does the prettiest seaside scenes, and instead of one large piece, she is treating us to 28 - 40 x 40 mini-blocks full of seaside mini designs.
Beginning in August, and continuing through February of 2026, you'll get one chart each month with 4 letters in it... Chart YZ will include the two bottom corner designs.
Stitched on just about any fabric you like, it uses lots of pretty DMC floss shades. Finish your ABCs into single blocks, or make a grand sampler - whatever you want. Each chart (with 4 letters) runs $10.00, we'll be charging each chart as it releases and ships each month.
Registration is open for this ONLY UNTIL JULY 20th... as we can order only enough charts for our Stitch-Along-Stitchers, and cannot sell them open-stock until By The Bay finishes her Stitch-Along. |
The Gingerbread Express, our July Secret Needle Night Kit
It's Christmas in July with Santa's festive delivery train. No reindeer, but a gingerbread engineer instead! Our Secret Needle Night design for July features Rainbow Gallery's Fyre Werks metalic ribbon, Very Velvet and touches of Pearl cottons and beads.
Stitching up in a jiff, the complete kit has the 20ct linen, threads, needles and beads. We offer the finishing kit for the fabric and garland-trimmed board as well. |
Summer Flowers and Summer Cottage
from Anabella's
A pair of fresh summery designs have arrived to make for happy stitching! Presented as single charts, each is full-sized and printed in color. Stitched with regular DMC floss, these models are done on any white fabric you like best. Finishing is on your own, but the cover pics are great and will be a good guide.
- Summer Flowers measures 72 x 72 so will finish 4 just 4 inches on 36ct.
- Summer Cottage is a little larger - 104 x 88, but still just 6 x 5 on 36ct.

Presenting the Summer Issue of Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher Magazine
22 Fun summery projects are stuffed into this issue. I especially like that little square on there full of tiny houses and flags. Always beautiful pictures and project layouts, huge clear charts and actual-sized line art for the punch nedle projects, you can't go wrong with this magazine!
And... even if you never do a thing out of it... you'll LOVE turning every single page and discovering! |
Captain Patchy Pelican, Stars, Stripes and MooLinda from Quaint Rose
Quaint Rose has been busy designing for the summer season. We have 6 new arrivals... three are shown here, with the rest on her inside pages.
- Captain Patchy Pelican is just the cutest! Part of the scene could be underwater - because there are seaweed plants, swimming fish, and dangling anchors. But, on the beach there is a empty bottle and a lighthouse. Just a super-fun design, Captain is wearing his official hat, very 'at home' on his beach! Presented as a chart, this is coded for DMC or a medley of hand-dyed flosses. Patchy measures 184 x 178 - so quite generous at 10 x 10 on 18/36ct! Chart runs $15.00
- Stars, Stripes and MooLinda - Here is another fun animal with a charming oversized basket on their back. Joining Quilting Nanny and Jingle All the Way Deer, this is turning out to be a really cute and colorful set of designs. MooLinda is the Patriotic one, a summer cow. She measures 109 x 175 - and is stitched with DMC or hand-dyeds. Chart runs $13.50
- August - Take a Hike! In this set of 12 monthly designs, you get 4 coordinating pieces. The name of the month with a teeny verse finishes about 8 x 2-1/2. Then, three smaller cushion-sized pieces - all 2-1/2 inches on 18/36. In the August example, the 8 refers to the 8th month, and the 31 refers to 31 days in the month. We don't have all the months yet... but I kind of like the idea of turning this into a perpetual calendar. You're getting all the months with really cute motifs appropriate to each... and you're getting all the numbers... see what you can come up with! Anyway, each month is presented in its own chart, and we have only May, June, July and August so far. I don't know her release schedule ...so an auto-ship might be easiest to help keep up with the remaining 8 of these in the set!

Summer Stitching
from Plum Street Samplers
- Tropic Troupe - Paulette is releasing some sizzling stitching this summer! Tropic Troupe is the latest in her series of animal stacks... this one even includes little swimming fish and a seagull. Finishes the same size as all the rest... shipping to us late June.
- A Fine Spot - At first you see the pomegranate pot, but then... there's a little frog hoping to go unnoticed under his shady spot! Paulette says he's like a 'stitching frog' - he's going unnoticed until you're well into the project, and THEN you have to 'rip-it!' Stitched with Classic hand-dyeds on 36ct Country Vintage Mocha, it measures 50 x 71 - so only a little under 3 x 4!
|
Presenting: This Land
from Shakespeare's Peddler
Teresa just sent us a note about her newest chart... here it is! Stitched with hand-dyeds, it measures about 7 x 8.
I love the framing treatment... she's done a border of fabric and sewn buttons in the corners! Chart runs $12.00 |
New Arrivals from Teresa Kogut!
- A Time to Work - The summer edition of this 4-part series is here. A Time to Sow was the Spring piece, it only makes sense that Summer is the time to work what you've sown. Coded for DMC with a little Weeks hand-dyed tossed in, this finishes a little smaller than 5 x 8 on 40ct.
- No Place Like Home - 'Amid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.' Everybody need this one! I kind of like the idea of leaving off the top motifs and repeating that lovely dark border above the heart on the roof. DMC and hand-dyeds... it's a very pretty piece, measuring 145 stitches square.
- Goodness and Mercy - Featuring Psalm 23 as its verse, this is full of restfull golds and greens. A medley of DMC, Weeks and Classic hand-dyed flosses, it measures 268 x 286 - so finishes a generous 15 x 16 on 36ct. Teresa has also done a small pillow piece featuring just the verse... all is beautifully presented in a full color leaflet.
|
- Primrose Cottage Fruit Salad Quaker - The next little 5-inch Quaker cushions by Primrose - Fruit Salad is full of bright summery fruit colors.
Classic hand-dyeds, it'll stitch in a jiff, and is presented in their small card format, just like the other small, seasonal and holiday Quaker cushions.
- The Garden Variety Set - Offered in 4 separate small card charts, this cutie designs all measure 57 x 57 in stitch count, so will all finish the same size for you - 3-1/2 inches on 32ct. Fruits and bees and flowers here and there... I think they'd be fun as round cushions, or little two-sided flat mattress cushions! You could even stitch a cube and put these on each side with the Fruit Salad design on the cube top!

From Left: Sandy Claws, Stained Glass Tree, Festive Fairy Cottage, Snowy Bluebird, Holiday Square and Snowman Lantern
Announcing the Mill Hill 2025 Button and Bead Kits for Christmas!
Love this year's designs. Since Mill Hill is so sketchy the past couple of years with sending their older designs... GET THESE NOW while they've made them a priority to produce.

- Festive Fairy House is just like the Summer Fairy House - only with a bit of snow! Fairies are easier to see on this one too!
- Snowy Bluebird is just gorgeous!
- The Holiday Square goes with all the other Christmas Village kits. They've not done such a great job of producing the older ones... so get this one!

Cicada's Song Sampler
from Cosford Rise Stitchery
This is a pretty piece! Measuring 228 x 227, it finishes about 12 x 12 on 36ct. That cool stone mill is surrounded by a meandering wildflower border that doesn't repeat anywhere! Can you see the little pond down in the bottom left corner of the border?
The verse reads: Magnolia blooms and cotton fields, where gentle rivers wind, in southern warmth and cicada's song, the heart of home you'll find. Coded for DMC or a medley of hand-dyed flosses... this is super-charming! |
Summery Designs from Twin Peak Primitives
- Summer - Oh, love this! A charming little 70 x 70 (4 x 4 inches) seaside town scene is surrounded by a border of more summer life at the waterfront. You can make just the smaller inside panel, or stitch all of this - finishing just 6 inches square on 18/36ct. That border would be cute as a stitched 'mat' around a special picture you have as well. Charted for DMC, the chart is presented in both black and white and in color.
- 3 Whales Quaker - This piece measures 97 x 190, so finishes about 5 x 10 on 18/36ct fabric. Coded for DMC, the colors are so pretty - dusty, and watery, and beachy! 644, 646, 648, 746, 775, 822, 926, 928, 7, 3072 and 3862, it's just peaceful. Not sure what a connection would be between whales and Quaker... so you might have work through that a little (!), but something about the piece is attractive. Chart is printed both black and white and in color.
- American Eagle - This one is stitched in just one color - you choose! Do navy blue if you want, choose a hand-dyed, whatever! It measures 88 x 83, so finishes a little smaller than 5 inches on 18/36ct. They used DMC 3852 for the cover pic, but offer Weeks Daylily or Gentle Art's Toffee as other color ideas - but if you want a red or blue - GO FOR IT!
|
Celebration and Parkington Manor Sampler from Rosewood Manor
- Celebration - A large piece, 325 x 185 on 32xt linen. Floss is mostly DMC, but a little Rainbow Gallery is used as well. This 14-page booklet includes a small sampler with the numbers 1776 & 2026! Insert 1776 on top left-hand and 2026 on top right-hand side of the roof, where the red, silver & blue fireworks are, and celebrate America's 250th Anniversary!
- Parkington Manor Sampler - This is a soft and quiet piece! Stitched with Weeks Dye Works White Lightening, Galvanized, Blue Heron, Sea Foam, Verdigris and Blue Jeans, it measures a grand 196 stitches square, and will finish 11 inches square on 18/36ct. I imagine you could change the color scheme to match any other particular room... but the Galvanized is a gray - and we don't get many things with such a gray colorway - so it's very unique.

- 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.'

Super cute for anyone who gardens, Val does say in the instructions that she intentionally left the picket fence very light in the background (hard to see on our model image, but it's there!), but supplies info for a darker version. Presented as a leaflet, it just makes you smile. |

Mr Ferrars' Confession

This references Sense and Sensibility, published in 1812 by Jane Austen. When Edward Ferrers finally comes to propose to Eleanor after she has given up all hope, (believing him to be married to Lucy Steele) we choke up every time!

Spring Releases from Blue Flower
Jeannine is the queen of 'flora and fauna' in her creative designs - and these two are filled with all sorts of Spring life!
- Sea & Shore celebrates the joy of visiting the shore. Inspired by its Happy Campers she has a whole cast of characters enjoying their outing to the sea. They're taking the ferry, they're lounging in the sand, kites in the air, and someone is fishing... it's really full of fun. Details everywhere, lots of smaller design areas that would break up nicely into smaller cushions or stand-up bricks for a windowsill or something, this measures 221 x 191. Jeannine chose Cypress fabric by Fiber on a Whim (closest to DMC 03) and lots of DMC along with hand-dyeds to stitch this. On 32ct, it will finish a generous 14 x 12 - and with this much cuteness in it - you might need to buy a beach house just to have a place to hang it!
- Prairie Home is the companion to Forest Home. Jeannine celebrates the amazing plants and animals of the grassland prairie with this 193 x 143 piece. She's just puts all kinds of stuff on these, and then luckily tells you what they are in the chart information. So colorful, timeless in design, you can stitch this and enjoy it every Spring - are you one of those that rotates your seasonal decorations? Coded using a medley of DMC and hand-dyed cottons, fabric is a Marbled Khaki - closest to DMC 647 and 3072.

Audie's Pink House
from Fox and Rabbit
Here's a sweet little house, classic in sampler design, surrounded by favorite sampler motifs. Measuring 137 x 79 - it's not very big and will finish about 7-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 36ct.
The willow tree, floral basket and Quaker wreath are all familiar elements, but the yard and fence add a little more personality. Very compact, organized, pleasing to the eye... it's just a pretty little piece. Chart $16.00 |
Where Liberty Dwells
from Artful Offerings
Something new to help us celebrate our glorious USA... Karina Hittle has a new pattern that features 2 designs together.
The flag is 6 by 3 3/4 stitched on 36 count fabric. It is stitched in Gentle Arts Freedom, Dungarees and Old Blue Paint. I like the background of blue behind the stars.
Where Liberty Dwells is the second design in the chartpack and measures 8 3/4 by 7 1/2 on 36 count fabric. It is stitched using DMC 22 and 356. Perfect for a quick stitch before the holiday. |
Whimsical Point Protectors
For scissors or knitting needles, these cute little things remind us of the Jibbets they stick onto Croc Shoes! Little bits of rubber (that your dog will probably love to snack on!) about an inch in size (he might not even chew them!), each has a hole to cover sharp scissor tips.
Just for fun, cute and colorful... they'd be fun to get and split the package to give everyone in the group just one... a fun table gift at a retreat too! Sets of 5 pieces. |
A Stitcher's Garden from The Drawn Thread Exclusively for the Silver Needle
By Cynthia Zittel, this is a busy design full of color and special stitches just like all her seasonal gardens. Joining Sunnyside, Kitchen, Herb and Butterfly Gardens, and the 4 Seasons set, this features everything special to its subject. She came as our Summer Event Designer a couple of years ago and this sampler and little linen tote was our project. Then, she did a companion pin cushion for our 'A Little Help From Our Friends' Stitching Circle last year to go with it.
Measuring 169 X 50 on 32ct Natural, it finishes just 10 x 3 but it's stuffed FULL of fun, specialty stitches that Cynthia loves so much. The 'flowers' in your garden are buttons, and thread spools, little floss skeins, and scissors. |
From Left: African Daisies, Haunted Lighthouse, Windmill, Fall Foxes, Spooky Cat and Corn Maze
Mill Hill's Autumn 2025 Bead Kits arrive this week!
We haven't even enjoyed summer yet, but Mill Hill always releases seasons-in-the-opposite, so you have TIME to work on them before you're ready for them.
The Button & Bead Line-Up
- African Daisies joins quite a few single floral close-ups they have... always bold and bright in color.
- Haunted Lighthouse features a dramatic wave crashing against the lighthouse, a stormy sky, and I think a pirate ship (!) in the high seas! They've added glow-in-the-dark beads to this one!
- Windmill is part of the Country Lane series - all farmhouse and tiny country scenes is that set of designs.
- Fall Foxes features a detailed pair of furry foxes amidst a busy landscape.
- Spooky Cat is ready for BUSINESS! Don't mess with him! He features Glow-in-the-dark beads as well.
- The Corn Maze is just plain fun - if you don't have allergies!
All are presented in full kit format of chart, 14ct perf paper, floss, beads and a button embellishment to make the 5 x 5 design. We order frames specially - if you need them.
From Left: Otter, UFO, Turkey Platter, Monster Plant, Spooky, Candy Bucket
The Smaller Autumn Harvest Ornment Collection
This offers a fun and unique set of designs this season.
- We start with a little Otter... you never know who has those in their backyard.
- We love the UFO - we think your kids would like it too.
- The Turkey Platter is ready for Thanksgiving - I'm not sure which will take longer - preparing the actual Thanksgiving Banquet or stitching this little guy, but it's a fun fridge magnet to hold a special recipe.
- The Monster Plant kind of goes with the UFO... actually cute for anyone with a green thumb.
- Spooky is just silly.
- The Candy Bucket would make a cute fridge magnet for the Halloween season as well.
Complete kits contain the chart, 14ct perf paper, flosses, beads and a little glass or crystal Mill Hill Treasure, as well as a magnet for display. |
Recent Releases from Satsuma Street
We've been enjoying these in the shop since late last Fall.
- Monster House - Super colorful and just delightfully scary, every room in this haunted house features a different occupant. Someone down in the parlour is headless, there are ghosts dancing in the ballroom, a howling wolf is waiting in one of the bedrooms, the resident witch is brewing dinner, there are cats and bats and spiders, Dracula hanging upside down in the attic, and even a mummy up in the tower. So full of bright DMC color, the stitch count is 131 x 217, so it finishes a generous 8 x 13-1/2 on 32ct! Definitely cute to hang for the Halloween Season - and break away from just orange and blacks. Full color leaflet $17.00
- Holiday Glow - Grab some red fabric - in any count you can see - these sweet holiday birds measure just 107 x 68 - so they finish a mere 5 x 7-1/2 on 14ct. Full color chart in the leaflet for $12.00, coded for DMC. $12.00
- Winter Welcome - Something to hang for the entire winter season, you don't have to add the word welcome if you don't want that part. Coded for DMC, it measures 102 x 137 - so 6-1/2 x 9 on 32ct. Adds a little bright color to the drabness of January and February! Full sized color leaflet, $13.00.

Cats and Dogs of the Months by Romy's Creations
What a fun little collection of cats and dogs! Pin Cushion-sized pieces, she has her kitties and pups each doing the same things in a given month. In March, they are both in the shamrocks, April they are both wearing bunny ears. Each design measures 58 stitches, and they are coded for DMC floss.
You can choose to get only the CATS or DOGS, or both... I'm thinking that basket of 24 little cats and dogs would be darling! The rest of the months come out later this year... no timing info, so we're starting auto-ships! |
Presenting The Farmer's Market ABCs
from Little House Needleworks
Just in time for planting season... Diane has done another of her long and skinny alphabets - a companion to her 4-Seasons of these. Farmer's Market just makes you want to grow and pick, shop and sell it all and eat it!
Corn, cherries, carrots and jam. Lettuce, the market stands, peaches and pumpkins. Strawberries and watermelons... I think the little wagon might have puppies in it!
She's done a great job with it... it measures 39 x 311, and is stitched with DMC and her Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses. On 32ct Country Vintage Mocha Linen (we have that in Aida and multiple other counts) it'll finish a little larger than just 2 x 19! Super perfect to hang on a super skinny wall somewhere. Presented as a chart $10.00 |
A pair of charts for Spring and Easter, and a trio for Christmas and Winter - grab your DMC and Weeks flosses to stitch either one.
Something Yellow for Springtime by Stitchy Princess
- Queen Bee measures 83 x 83, everyone likes the honeycomb center pattern - it'd make a cute solid pin cushion. Full size chart $10.00
- Happy Easter includes two designs - the Bunny who looks official, and the whimsical Happy Easter greeting. Just 49 x 57 each, small and quick to stitch. Full size chart $12.00
Little bits of Winter and Christmas by Stitchy Princess
- Birds in Winter - This is really pretty worked on a darker background - to highlight all the white snow accents. Coded for DMC, some hand-dyeds from your stash would be easy to sub. Stitch count is 93 x 93 - just pretty. It doesn't SAY the season... so it can stay out a little longer! Full size chart $10.00
- Santa's Toy Shop and Mrs Claus' Bake Shop - Here's a pair of designs - they're each in their Christmas Market Booths! Santa is peddling toys and Mrs has been busy baking. Both designs measure 83 x 83, and would be perfect finished as two stand-ups side by side, or a folding 2-panel piece - you have to present these together! Charted for DMC and Weeks, pair of charts is $20.00
|
Brightness and Cheer by Way of Little Stitch Girl
- You Were Meant To Bloom - This is so sweet. It's a 72 x 72 design, stitched with either DMC or Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses on any chalkboard-colored fabric. Just 6 colors of thread, it's a mighty 4 inches on 18/36ct. Fresh and bright, it's a quick stitch that will really make someone special happy! Single 5 x 8 colored chart. $6.00
- Holiday Banners - 4th of July and Easter - Joining their Halloween Holiday Banner design, we get Spring's Easter, and then Summer's 4th. The farmhouses are beautiful just by themselves - Zillow would have a field day! Each has the coolest trees with gorgeous geometrics in them. July's are plaid - and that pattern is hard to design and chart! Next, are the fantastic graphics in the sky. Easter's is absolutely gorgeous, and I kind of hate that it's partially hidden by the paper banner! It's a rainbow plaid that is so cool. Then, you stitch the letter banner pieces on perf paper, cut them out, and hang 'em across the sky. Each season is its own leaflet, heavy card stock, colored charts, DMC coding. These finish about 8 x 10 on 32ct.

Flamingoes
from The Mindful Needle
This is a cute set of Flamingo Flavor!
- Flock to the Sea is a fun little design measuring just 149 x 61. Stitched on a light blue or white with lots of various hand-dyed flosses, it'll stitch in a jiff. Cute as a flat stand-up, but also as a pin drum.
- Flamingo Floss Drops - This is a set of 8 small cards tethered with a flamingo charm. There are 4 pictures on them that are so funny! Something silly to enjoy with your threads.
- Flamboyant Flamingo Needle Minder - A 1 x 2 inch pink acrylic minder - lots of detail in the design cut-out. A lightweight magnet to hold needles, or the grocery list on the beach house refrigerator door!

4 Little Kitties
from Cotton Pixels
Here are 4 more little-black-cat designs to join our Stitcher's Cat and Strawberry Thief by Cotton Pixels. All presented as individual charts, they each measure about 55 stitches square, so finish around 3 inches in size.Cute as can be, they're on different fabrics, some feature a bit of metallic or a few beads.
Each one is unique - just like little black cats! Gardener's Cat features kitty lounging in the hanging pot - the flowers are beaded. Watermelon Kitty is mostly all beads! Flight Through the Night calls for metallics, as does Twinkle Little Star. |

Happiness is Being a Grandparent
from Barefoot Needleart
Barefoot Needleart has kind of a cool design - it's for GRANDMA - not the baby! Both model pics on the book cover are partially obstructed, so you have to use a little imagination, but you can see a big heart outline decorated with a few flowers on one side. There is a alphabet inside - in this scrolling font - so you can personalize it with any name you want!
Mimi and Gigi are shown on the back cover. Coded for Classic Colorworks flosses, this will finish approx 9 x 8 on 18/36ct. I could see this as a photo album or memory book cover, it's really a nice alternative to a birth announcement that really isn't so cool when they're 11 years old - and they don't want in their bedroom anymore. This is for Grammy - who will treasure it always! Multi-page leaflet with huge charting. |
Garden Troubles and Orange Cat Activities
from The Stitchin Kitten Designs
Two new cute kitty designs this week...
- Garden Troubles features 4 kittens just being CUTE! Each kitty-in-the-pot measures only 40 x 70 stitches - just 2 x 4 on 18ct - so stitch just one or do the whole row. Both are presented in full-sized chart format.
- Orange Cat Activities makes a 6-inch piece that might be YOUR cat! Coded for DMC, fabric is a mottled medium blue hand-dyed - we have lots of great options!
|
Skellymaid
from Ghost Boy Needleworks
Well, this is over-the-top cute! It is a 5-inch long Peyote Beaded scissor or Zipper fob of a skeleton mermaid. You string those arms and make the little hands, and then the bony tail, it just makes you smile!
Complete kit contains both the color chart and numeral directions to do this - just depends on which set of instructions your brain works better with. Then, a vial of two beading needles, thread, clamshell finding and all the pre-sorted beads. Should take about 5 or 6 hours do do... such a conversation piece! |
Voice of The Garden
from Erica Michaels
'The hum of the bees is the voice of the garden.' Linda surprised us at Market with a new design that is shown stitched three different ways.
One version is on silk gauze (or could be 40 or 56ct linen), a berry, and then a regular normal-sized piece! Coded for Weeks and DMC, she's used Weeks Wools for her berry topper finishing. |
Bath Day
by Artmishka Cross Stitch
Well, aren't these the cutest little things? Little kitties playing on the clothesline. The design actually doesn't sense because I don't think cats really do play on clotheslines... but they're so darling, you can't resist them.
Super easy to stitch, they measure just 149 x 83 and are done with black floss. Just makes you smile. |

Tortoise shell pink acrylic just like Hopkins and crew. Just too stink'in cute!

These are such a pretty deep rose color of the tortoise-shell plastic material - just like the frogs and pigs, these measure 1-1/2 inches at the bottom and 2-1/2 inches in height. I can see absolutely no reason why you wouldn't want these! Set of 10 drops.
|

Two Spring 2025 Releases by Blackbird Designs
Not much information before Market about these... but now they are here, and we've had time to page through them and really appreciate both of them! Lovely, lovely projects!
- The Sweet Birds Sing - 3 Projects based on an antique Welsh Sampler, the original is pretty bold and actually not very attractive. Alma worked her magic and came up with a glorious sewing roll and two little pic cushions - much softer on the colors! Lots of fun history in here... along with fantastic pictures of the inside, and assembly of the sewing case. Quite a bit to enjoy in this one! Book has 16 pages of gorgeous pics and charts, $20.00
- Gifts of the Season - 4 Projects inspired by a English Sampler, Alma includes the chart for the entire original piece in this book. Then she's done 3 smaller, updated pieces - one a pic cushion, one a paperweight, and the third - a more modest version of the sampler itself. Weeks and Gentle Art flosses, soft hand-dyed linens - it's all classic Blackbird personality! Book has 24 pages $24.00

January, February and March cards are available now, and Jeannette promises all sorts of finishing ideas for these.

Auto-ship for these too, each card will run $6.00. |

- My Stitching Album
by Jeannette Douglas
Originally published as a set of multiple kits, Jeannette is re-vamping and re-printing her fun My Stitching Album into ONE spiral-bound, organized, 126-page publication! A set of (8 or 12 - I don't remember!) different 5 x 7-ish band samplers FULL of featured specialty stitches, the original charts are long gone.
She has updated threads to DMC, but kept her original 10 colors of hand-dyed silks the same. It features full-sized, huge pics of the actual stitched samplers, huge full-page charts, huge stitch diagrams, nice-and-big-and-clear everything!
Limited in printing, we are taking orders for the books - she didn't say how many pages they are - but price is $92.00.
- Chubby Ewe

|

Perfect for charting verses and personalizations, there are two tablets available. One tablet includes 12 pages each of 10 and 12 ct, the other tablet includes 2 pages each of 14 and 18ct grid. |
The Seventh Wave and Fishy Goings On
from Long Dog Samplers
Are you a Long Dog Samplers Fan? Here are two new designs that might tempt you! Always kind of large, always mono-chromatic, always stuffed full of hidden motifs that make you wonder why there are in there!
Presented in charts, choose your fabric and favorite thread. She gives you yardage needed by fabric count, so you can make sure to start with enough of a thread dye lot.

Fishy Goings On is smaller at 187 x 212 - more finishable at 10 x 12. |
Bent Creek's Winter and Spring Releases!
Yeti Globe - Here's our annual snowglobe design stitched on 20ct linen with #5 Pearl Cottons. Only 52 x 54 in stitch count, it finishes just 5 x 5 - and this little guy is something like the 25th Globe design they have! He's smiling and getting ready to throw a snowball into his sky to make it snow all over again! Complete kit of chart, needle, linen and threads.
Pop of Luck - This is the 10th one of these! We took a pic of all of them together at Market... charming! Offered as a kit, 20ct linen, #5 Pearl Cottons, it's a breeze to stitch. If you aren't into the 'tree' part... just do the round... they make darling pin cushions. Complete kit of chart, linen, needle and threads. (and don't laugh when I mention that needle - sometimes we run across kits here and there from everywhere that actually do not include that! You're using a #20 or #22 Tapestry in here - just the right size to NOT tear up that heavy Pearl thread.)
Happy Groundhog Day Row - Well... we have missed this for 2025, but Ground Hog Day is already on the calendar for next year. If you have a reputation for decorating for all holidays, you'll blow everyone away if you whip out this little row for a week or so next year! He measures 162 x 37. If you do him over one on 25 Lugana, he'll be 1-1/2 x 6-1/2 and make a darling little pin cushion on your desk or window sill. If you do him over 2 on 20ct linen, he'll be 4 x 16! Coded for Weeks and DMC, but you probably have good colors in your stash already - save money because it's kind of a one-day holiday!
Penguin Stocking - This stocking joins Bent Creek's whole collection of stockings! It was actually done just for me last December - I have a new grand-daughter, and since I stitched the BC stockings for everyone in my daughter's family - I told them at Market last year that I needed a NEW stocking for this year! So little miss Nella had her stocking this year full of fun things from Ami and Opi. Chart, same size as the rest in the series, they are done on 20ct linen with pearl cottons. Super fun to change the colors and threads on these to add zip and zest! |
Rainbow Ribbon Pouches
Oh these are so pretty! Lightweight, see-through mesh zippered pouches, these get their stunning color from all the thin ribbon stripes running through them.
Multi-mesh colors of red, purple and navy, with all those happy stripes... these weigh nothing, are SUPER flexible, breatheable, and feature a zipper with an easy-grip pull tab.
Small one measures about 9 x 13 - enough for a full-sized leaflet, and the larger one comes in at almost 13 x 17. Multi-colors, a really a nice surprise! |
Peace on Earth
from Lila's Studio
Oh... the Winter version of Lila's seasonal Quaker samplers, this is lovely. 'Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men' is the verse which is surrounded with a holly border.
Artwork in that center is over one, the rest of the piece is over two, and it finishes a generous 15 x 12 on 36ct. Coded for DMC, it's loaded with winter animals and deep rich coverlet colors. Can't wait to get our shop model stitched! |

New Needle Minders by Cherry Hill Stitchery!
Acrylic or Enameled - Take your pick!
Cherry Hill Stitchery has taken the artwork from her Miss Hollybird and Luna cross stitch designs and made them into beautiful enameled minders.Super-Stong
magnets on the backs, they measure approx 1-1/2 inches in size.
THEN, she has her cute artwork on acrylic pieces as well! Again 1-1/2 inches in size, the magnets on these are actually embedded inside the acrylic layers so without the second loose backing magnet, these are flat and lightweight! Each comes with that film-sheet cling covering that you will initially have to pull off the piece - but that keeps it from getting scratched before you own it. Delightful designs... they make you smile. We especially like the LIGHTWEIGHT feel of the acrylic pieces! |

Soft hand-dyed linen and floss colors, each measures about the same - 100 x 200-ish. Charts $12.00
- A Daily Reminder - Choose a lovely darker fabric for this to give it an aged look, the verse is one Brenda remembers from her childhood. One of her friend's moms would call it out as they were leaving the house... and she commented on how differently teenagers and adults take the advice! 'Be Good and Do Good' - apply those words to everything in life! This finishes about 10 x 10-1/2 on 36ct, and is done with a medley of hand-dyed flosses. Chart $14.00
- Spring Trio - The start of a new seasonal set, each chart contains all three designs for its season. Simple cookie-cutter style motifs, these will make a cute set of cushions - all to nestle together in one bowl. She's done each season on its own color of fabric, and used a medley of hand-dyeds. Chart $14.00
- Summer Trio - The second of a new seasonal set, each chart contains all three designs for its season. Simple cookie-cutter style motifs, these will make a cute set of cushions - all to nestle together in one bowl. She's done each season on its own color of fabric, and used a medley of hand-dyeds. Chart $14.00
- Spring Swan - Another companion to Brenda's other swans - she just liked her grandmother's concrete swan planter - but it turned into a set of pretty designs! We have Christmas and Summer - this one is done on Country Vintage Mocha linen and finishes just under 4 x 4. Chart $12.00
- Hop Into Spring - This is enchanting! Finishing about 4 x 9 on 36ct linen, the pair of rabbits, the tulip and birds and vines, it all tucks beautifully into the little scalloped board by Chantelle's. Choose any 36ct, and your hand-dyeds. Brenda plans on using this finishing board again in future designs - you paint it, and add the 1/4 inch twill tape laced through the holes for added appeal. Chart $12.00, Board is $20.
