New Arrivals - FINALLY! from Stacy Nash Designs!
We've been trying to get these charts for almost 2 months... and they have finally arrived!

  • Little French Hen Needlebook -  A small 3 x 5 oval, Hen is on one fabric covered side, while the backside features a pattern of your solid stitching. (You could just use pretty fabric on that backside to save on the extra stitching, although the hand-dyed floss really gives it a neat look.) She's on 36ct, and is worked with Weeks of Lily Pad, Graphite, Bark, Arrowhead, Schneckley and Classic's Caroling. Chart $12.00.
  • Swans A Swimming Badge - A swan swimming in her forest pond, this is done on 36ct with Weeks hand-dyed flosses. Stacy finished this as a pin... but you COULD finish it as a two-sided oval pin disk or even an opening needlebook - with the forest trees on the back - just like the French Hen case. Simple and sweet. Chart $12.00

Included with the leaflet are all the stitching and finishing instructions, seed, bugle and heart beads, sequins, mouse tail, button base and pearl pins.

Absolutely the cutest little menagerie!
  • Quirky Christmas 2024 - Just like Quirky Critters, these are delightful motifs. There are the Three Kings, an angel, gnomes, a festive tree, reindeer, Santa elf, an owl, and a little straw goat. All on Country Vintage Mocha, all DMC, just happy and colorful! The leaflet contains them all.
  • Projection of Love 2025 - Pull out your DMC 816! This book features 9 cupid designs for Love and Valentine's Day.

Sampler Musings and A Sampler Garden, SN Exclusives from Rosewood Manor
Rosewood Manor's Karen Kluba came for a class last Fall, and here are the two samplers our groups designed. She gave us motif options and color schemes... the stitchers chose and she got busy with her software.

Winter Series Button & Beads - 2024 from Mill Hill - click for more
From Left: Peony, Highland Cow, Bunny Garden, Fairy House, Waterfall and Butcher Shop
Presenting Mill Hill's Spring Bead Kits for 2025!
Wow... a really cute and colorful collection this season - We love 'em! Complete kits contain the chart, needles, 14ct perforated paper, and all the flosses, beads and buttons needed to create. Always fun, gorgeous when they're framed, perennial favorites around here.
  • Peony is another single flower, just like their daffodils, hyachynths, hydrangeas, daisies... always a gorgeous, huge flower flourish.
  • Highland Cow is absolutely the cutest little cow EVER! I don't think the real thing is as soft and fluffy as this little guy though.
  • Bunny Garden is full full full of springtime flowers... and bunny is tucked right in the front... but he's hiding! Super colorful.
  • Fairy House features a thatched roof cottage nestled in a garden of spotted mushrooms. The resident fairy is up in the trees.
  • Waterfall is the spring version of several of Mill Hill's Autumn landscape scenes. Lush greens and blooms for the season.
  • Butcher Shop is this year's new business for the Main Street series. I think the button is appropriately a hungry dog!

  • Smaller Spring Bouquet Series for Spring 2025 from Mill Hill - click for more
    From Left: Mason Jar, Peacock Butterfly, Folk Art, Old Fashioned, Pawsitively Love, Vintage Clock
    Presenting the Smaller Spring Bouquet Series for Spring 2025
    Another really nice collection of designs with this set, each of these designs finishes about 3 x 3. The complete kits are truly a bargain as they come with the charts, 14ct perforated paper, needles, beads, floss and Treasure embellishment. They come with an optional magnet for their backs - so they make great frig and filing cabinet magnets. The Mason Jar of flowers is charming, the Peacock Butterfly is massively colorful. Folk Art is just a pretty 'medallion' design, the Old Fashioned might refer to a refreshing drink... or one of your friends! Pawsitively Love can be a pet remembrance, or it could hang right above the leash hook in your hallway, and the Vintage Clock is probably a tribute to the time change every year.

    Valentine Love Arrives from October House
    Robin has two new charts full of pink colors and soft personality.
    • Heartfelt Valentine is just a wisp of a thing, measuring only 3 x 4 on 32ct. DMC or Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses, there isn't much of any color in here, so I bet your stash can provide the perfect colors!

Cursive and uppercase fonts are used to spell out part of a cherished phrase and four small golden-hued designs are sprinkled throughout the dappled linen background.'

    This is done with Gentle Art Sampler Threads, but converted to DMC as another option. Measuring 203 x 188, it finishes about 12 x 11 on 36ct country Vintage Mocha linen. Presented as a chart.

    Winter Moon from Plum Street Samplers Salem Sampler from Plum Street Samplers Salem Mini Moon from Plum Street Samplers
    New Releases from Plum Street Samplers
    • Winter Moon -- Something Christmassy, but kind of not - especially if you leave off the holly and garlands on the trees. Paulette loves houses, and this spectacular piece has a big one - all solid stitching! (You need to be one of us that loves to sit in front of the TV and have solid stuff to fill in for this one!) The big moon, the organized symetry of the fence, walkway, bricks, trees, windows - all of it. Measuring 149 x 168, this will finish approx 8 x 9 on 36ct, and uses multiple skeins of several of its DMC, Weeks and Classic Colorworks flosses. Really eyecatching and grand.
    • Salem Sampler - 4th in Paulette's Rhode Island sampler-inspired series, this gorgeous piece companions Paulette's New Constellation, Heritage and New World Samplers. She tells us it's different for her because as a Halloween piece - she has NO orange in it! The top features a 'death head' which is a winged skull used on many old headstones and represents a soul whose journey to heaven isn't finished yet. Gallows Hill was apparently where the accused were hung, and there is the Reverend pointing fingers in the middle. Actually kind of creepy given the warning verse at the bottom about sleeping with the devil! So... OK... not the general subject of the others in this series... but eyecatching just the same!
    • Salem Mini Moon - The Halloween Hare leaping over a bubbling cauldron of who-knows-what! Freaky little Jacks down there... wild flowers that look like they might reach out and bite you, and the old moon... this measures just 72 x 81. Coded for DMC and a medley of hand-dyeds.

    Love and Joy
    from Cosford Rise Stitchery
    What a pretty pair of small cushion designs. By Cosford Rise, Kelly has chosen a deep green fabric to set-off her DMC 3865 Winter White blackwork stitching, and then accented with Gentle Art's Grecian Gold for her sentiments.

    Trim is vintage mini garland - which we carry! Anyway, think about deep colors of fabric - reds, blues... maybe do the wording in metallic?

    These are actually very simple but so classic and eyecatching. Both designs come in the single chart.

    Seas & Greetings
    from Ink Circles
    Ink Circles has a cute new design - super different than every other Christmas design out there! Seas features Santa and his elves delivering Christmas via sailing ships. They look like pirates! There are angels in the sky bringing wreaths... fish in the sea wrapped like presents, narwols in the water with more wreaths... and that lavish border of anchors at the 'bottom of the sea.'

    It's really creative, colorful and truly FUN. Choose a blue-green hand-dyed fabric to look like water, and choose the Classic Colorworks hand-dyeds it is coded for. It measures 189 x 127 - so finishes approx 12 x 8 on 32ct. Super cool and full of personality... full-sized chart.

    Where Love Resides from Lila's Studio
    Where Love Resides
    from Lila's Studio
    Lila's Studio has a gorgeous new design that needs to hang at YOUR home! Measuring 140 stitches square, it'll finish a petite 7 x 7 on 40ct, about 8 x 8 on 36... just not very big at all. The border is made of various Quaker motifs and they surround that pretty little house in the center.

    'Home is where Love resides'... just about says it all! Coded for 14 shades of DMC... I love how bold and organized it is! It'd make a really nice wedding or housewarming gift.

    • Sweet Christmas - Jeannette shows this finished around a wooden spool, and as a panel inset of a pillow. I am sure you could divide them and do three individual ornaments as well. Hand-dyed flosses or DMC coding, I think the little flat piece might fold up well into a sewing case as well. Presented as a small chart.

    Cozy Winter Sampler
    from Artful Offerings
    Oh this is a gorgeous piece! Karina writes that it evokes the charm and warmth of a cozy winter sweater. She has a tiny forest of evergreens, stylized flowers and a mixed border pattern. Presented as a chart, it measures 10 x 10 on 36ct Country Vintage Mocha linen, and is worked with DMC floss.

    I love those quilt stars and the lines of those trees! AND... you COULD stitch just one cardinal, on its half of the tree, with just 9 of those quilt stars behind him - and you'd have a darling pin cushion!

    New Snowmen are Here from Val's Stuff
    • Dear Santa is Val's first stocking design! The chart includes all three design options for finishing, in case you don't need that stocking arrangement. Along with the chart, you get three buttons for his tummy, wool felt for his holly hat leaves, freezer paper for that tracing, and the hanger cord. Stitch it on any fabric you like - coded for DMC. If you choose the stocking and use larger fabric - try #5 Pearl Cotton. (The letters are available separately by special order... but you could stitch those too... and save about $3 a letter!) We have white Fuzzy Stuff for the snowman, and black Very Velvet for the hat... in case you want to get fancy!
    • Once Upon a Snowman - A cute ornament kit - it includes 14ct perf paper, wool backing felt, the cute striped ribbon and jingle bell. You supply the DMC from your stash.

    • Warm Winter Wishes - This one measures 200 x 100... look at it, you could split the top row from the bottom, and make one long village, or Lori says you could finish this into a drum shape stand-up. Lots of cute, small motifs in this one! Various Weeks hand-dyeds with a DMC conversion.

    • Kitty Garland - A row of kitties that are playing in the stockings, finish them individually as ornaments or make them into a little pillow. Choose any neutral fabric - one that lets the white show up on the boots. She has called for Rainbow Gallery's White Fuzzy Stuff for the fur stocking cuffs, and we'd use Arctic Rays for the garland.

    • Holiday POP - Popcorn of Blessings is a kit including 20ct linen and #5 Pearl Cottons. It's like their other seasonal POP designs - the tree is full of dried corn, pumpkins and a turkey - who thankfully is too small to cook and eat! Complete kit runs $26.

    OHHH... Pretty New Designs from Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle & Thread for Christmas Time!
    Brenda has such a beautiful design sense... here are her latest!
    • Let it Snow - Isn't this little guy charming? Tone-on-tone snowflakes decorate the sky, and pine cones scatter along the 'floor,' while Mr Snow is happy in his snowy wonderland under glass! Measuring just 5 inches on 40ct Seraphim Tobias hand-dyed linen, that medium background color lets all that white show up, but is gentle enough to let the pine cones just rest and be beautiful. Stitched with a combo of DMC and Weeks hand-dyeds, this is presented in chart format $12.00.
    • Christmas Swan - Following Brenda's antique concrete swan planters theme... here is Christmas! Finishing 4-1/2 x 5 on 40ct she's used a medley of DMC and hand-dyeds. Chart $12.00
    • Peace and Goodwill - Oh lots to love in this one! (I always look for tiny take-out motifs in things for small pin cushions and fobs - this one is loaded with them!) We get the Quaker-inspired medallions, the tiny single pine cone and pear, that cozy house with snowman in the yard, of course the cardinal in the very festive wreath, and the cute little reindeer couple. Even the snowflakes are placed to LOOK Quaker, but they are just pretty quilty-star flakes, and they tuck in beautifully! Measures 9-1/4 x 5-1/2 on Seraphim Tobias 36ct hand-dyed linen, again this is stitched with a medley of DMCs and hand-dyeds - presented in chart format. $12.00
    • Candles of Christmas - A row of singing angels... Brenda remembers a set of NOEL angel candles her Grandmother had. They'd re-arrange the angels to try to spell different words (not much you can do with 4 letters though!), and over the years, the halos all went missing. Things you remember.... Anyway, translated to Cross Stitch, they now make a charming pillow design that finishes about 6 x 2-1/2 - just teeny on 36ct. Stitched with hand-dyeds, get out your gold metallic to replace those halos! Chart $12.00

    Go Tell It On The Mountain from Heartstring Samplery Skate Fever  from Heartstring Samplery Out There Ornament Set from Heartstring Samplery
    Go Tell It On The Mountain, Skate Fever and Out There Ornaments from Heartstring Samplery
    Beth is sending new designs due the first week of November!
    • Go Tell It On The Mountain is so quiet looking but with a loud message to deliver! Choose a wintery rich brown background to make it look like a blustery evening sky. Your cream flosses will show up well - and maybe add a little filament to make the flakes or berries glisten? This measures 126 x 88, so will finish about 7 x 5 on 36ct, and is worked with a medley of Classic, Weeks and DMC.
    • Skate Fever - A little stocking ornament - this measures 50 x 100 - 2-3/4 x 5-1/2 on 36ct - just big enough for a few green bills! Decorated with a skate, lantern, mittens hot cocoa and a stocking hat, trim it with red chenille - and it'll really show up on your tree.
    • Out There Ornament Set - Beth is quite the Sci-Fi junkie, so here is a set of ornaments to appeal to YOUR favorite Sci-Fi person! I think 'Seek' features the Enterprise. Choose fun fabrics and really blow someone away with one of these fun designs! Totally unexpected.

    2409 - Squirrel With Mushrooms from Une Croix, le temps d' un The' 2311 Joyeux Noel from Une Croix, le temps d' un The' 2312 Polka Dot Noel from Une Croix, le temps d' un The'
    Three New Arrivals From Une Croix
    Everyone just loves these charming designs. While the instructions are written in Italian - all we really need are those familiar DMC numbers and a good chart (and these are very nicely done, clear charts) and we're good to go! They don't seem to have titles either... so I go by their numbers in my descriptions! Choose a natural so the white flakes and details show up.
    • 2409 - Squirrel With Mushrooms - This is gorgeous. There is a lot of delicate shading on here - over-the-top charming! 142 x 83 In stitch count, she's used 28 different DMCs in here, but the chart is large and VERY clear. She's done a really good job using different symbols side by side so you can tell the difference so it's just not overwhelming. We have a deer with mushrooms that companions this one as well. And... if you are needing a shortcut to save stitching time... we think you can cut off the big 'shroom' on the top left or maybe the smaller ones behind the squirrel - and not lose any of the design charm! (Just cut down your stitching time!) Offered as the chart $19.00
    • 2311 Joyeux Noel - What a cute little Christmas Scene! You have a pile of festively wrapped gifts, the Christmas Pudding under glass, a Nutcracker Prince, and Rocking Horse... all ready for Christmas Morning. A little snow detail in the background here and there, this measures 147 x 87, and is done with 21 shades of DMC. Another one that's perfect to split apart - all 4 elements are cute just by themselves - and that makes a cool pin cushion or ornament set as well. Chart $19.00
    • 2312 Polka Dot Noel - This one is super cute - hard to see in the pic, but it's the word NOEL stitched in white, scattered with red dots. Then you get a faint evergreen tree next to a GNOME PINECONE! He's just the cutest! (and you could do JUST HIM - only 20 x 37 - as a single ornament) Finally a little reindeer head pokes through the letters, and then you realize that it's all tucked around that NOEL word. 153 x 58, this will finish approx 5 x 8 on 36ct - I'd use a Natural color of fabric.

    The 'Bats in a Row and a Crow' TIN kit contains that darling metal tin that looks like a Ouija Board (the mints are still inside even!), and then you stitch the measuring tape, needle book and pin cushion.

    The kit is stuffed full of things - spider charm, tin, beads and buttons, pins, ribbons, linen and backing fabrics, and papers to line the tin. All your smalls will fit into that tin - when you take out the mints!

    Next... make the matching beaded fob to dress up your scissors! That complete kit contains the thread, beads, patterns, charms - everything!

    Announcing DOVO Embroidery Scissors Again!
    Our favorite scissor manufacturer - DOVO - from Solingen, Germany had massively re-organized 5 years ago and dissolved their scissor division. The tiny bit left of the company has decided, after all this time, to begin a SMALL amount of scissor manufacture. We are thrilled to present:

    Anne, Aya, and Anja - Three lovely embroidery scissors - all presented with a brushed stainless finish, and protected with a leather sheath. (Yes, the three names are confusing and quite similiar, so pay attention to your favorite!)

    Anne was DOVO's top selling style during their first 115 years in business. 3-1/2 Inches, lovely feel, smooth as butter, pretty. Our next shipment is not here yet... so we are taking RESERVATIONS for Anne for hopeful Spring '25 shipment. We will not charge your card now and will contact you before we ship, if our order doesn't come before May-ish. Great for regular cross stitch and floss, no metallics or heavy threads.

    DOVO Solingen - click for more AYA is the 3-1/2 inch with a flattened tip making it their 'Hardanger Scissors.' Same awesome action as Anne, the thinner tip can be a little fragile... be careful what you cut. Hardanger involves cut and drawn threadwork - not as widely done as cross stitch these days - so don't let 'hardanger' define the use of the scissor. Good for Cross Stitch - again, no metallics or heavy threads. Our Spring 2025 shipment is here... but because we've waited since June of '24 for these, they will NOT be discounted in our Superbowl Sale February 8th and 9th, 2025. You're welcome to order them they will ship at regular price.

    ANJA is the 4-inch sleek style. The second most popular style DOVO manufactured all along. We love these, and we have them in stock. Just a bit more room for your hand between the thread you are cutting and your hand, blades are 1-1/2 inches long. Perfect for Cross Stitch and floss - no metallics and no heavy threads. hese are included in our Superbowl Sale pricing!

I like it because you can SEE how pretty different colors and even counts can mix together with this set! No rules... just choose fabrics in good colors and counts that YOU like!
    • Patriotic Biscornu - Eagles and shields... this measures 97 in stitch count. I believe it is identical on both sides... so truthfully, you COULD cut your stitch time in half by doing only the top and choosing a stunning finishing fabric for the bottom. Classy, it's coded for DMC.
    • The Titanic Sampler - At first, we thought, 'why would you stitch something from a shipwreck where lots perished?' Buttttt, this might be really neat for a beach house, or someplace near the sea - where things like this are appropriate to remember. The design elements are based on motifs and decorative elements from RMS Titanic and her sister ship, Olympic. Floor tiles, grillwork, statuary, china and linen all served as inspiration for this piece. Stitched all in red, you can choose any color you want for this 229 x 220 piece.

    Three Cute Aviation Ornaments from ModCross Patterns
    • Ready for Takeoff and Ready for Landing - Aren't these cute? Rudolph is ready to fly through a starry night in classic aviator fashion! He's on navy fabric (we have several different counts), and stitched with 9 DMC shades and a bit of glossy rayon thread. Every pilot needs a ground crew, so his little bear friend is holding the light wands and wearing his safety vest... ready to guide the flight perfectly! Again DMC floss. The chart description mentions Etoile thread - we don't have that - but I think Rainbow Gallery's Petite Treasure Braid would fit the bill to add the needed glitz. Each comes in their own separate chart and a DEFINITE for the airplane lover in your life!
    • Spooky Skyline - Ghosts and bats join a dapper black cat in a late night hot air balloon ride through the city! Measuring 82 x 118, it finishes approx 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 on 18/36ct. DMC flosses, choose a pretty sky color background.

    Love these! Finishing approx 5 x 5 on 14ct perf paper, these are always long anticipated, and well loved projects. New this season, we have a Christmas Camper decked out for a Holiday party. The wreath is ready for the beach because it's decorated with seashells. Dashing Dachshund is definitely a favorite - who can resist that darling little dog? Winter Woodpecker joins the other winter bird designs Mill Hill has - (cardinals, blue jays, chickadee, nuthatch all come to mind) - very classy pieces.

    Feather Tree is colorful and fun, and Crocuses is stunning! Crocus joins the rest of the MH florals - there are about 9 or 10 of them that are just gorgeous (hydrangea, daisy, and hibiscus come to mind in a pinch.) Our shop models are done on 28ct linen or 14ct aida and stuffed - as an alternative finishing option. The little kits come complete with the chart, paper, beads, flosses, buttons, needles - just everything!

    Charming Buttons
    from Les Secrets de Marie
    Delightful tiny buttons lazer cut from wood, these come in Holidays, Seasons, hearts, stars and pumpkins. Everything cute under the sun! There are 22 sets - some natural wood in finish, others that appear to me to be covered in fabric, and then cut out.

    Everything is teeny... each of these packages measures only 3 x 4 - so that should give you an idea of how petite each piece is. Surprisingly sturdy... enjoy them all!
