Purrfect Punch NeedlesThe world of Punch Needle Embroidery was rocked a couple of weeks ago when the blue Ultra Punch Needles (the old Cameo Needles) ceased production and availability. The original company has been purchased this week... with the promise of Ultra Punch Needles again in the future. Until then... the *Step Child* Purrfect Punch Needles are here to save the day! There remains great debate (the same as among siblings!) as to which needle is better... YOU (as the parent) get to decide. Purrfect has been around forever... we hope Ultra comes back... but you never know. Our Purrfect Needle sets include one needle of each size - 1, 3 and 6 strand - along with two threaders and instructions. | ||||
Ornament Snow Globefrom Shannon Christine Designs These festive ornaments look right at home inside their Mason Jar glass garden!

 Character Eggs for 2018 from Jim Shore Here is a second set of small 3-inch stitched and beaded (Easter?) Eggs to join the set released last January!

So... you can have animals or geometrics... your choice! Kits contain enough ingredients for both designs. | ||||
 Adjust Your Sails from Little Dove Designs Life isn't about waiting for the winds to change... it's about learning to adjust your sails. Measuring 117 x 177 - so it finishes approx 7 x 11 on 32ct - this is stitched with 9 regular solid colors of DMC floss, and one hand-dyed for all the water and waves. The motifs in here are cute - all the little whales and the perky sailboats - it is stitched on any gray fabric so the whites of the sails will show up. (Not enough stitching time to do the whole thing? I see three different sections in here... maybe adjust your sails and choose just one or two? But how can you decide because they're all neat!) Christmas Wishes from Little Dove Designs This is a fun design that measures 53 x 253 in stitch count. (about 3 x 16 on 32ct.) Worked with 16 regular shades of DMC floss, you can split up the different areas of this and do them individually or join the whole piece as shown. Lots of opportunity to add hand-dyed flosses if you want or some cute clay buttons and what-nots... the chart is super-huge, colored and very easy to read. | ||||

Stitched on 28ct Blue Spruce Linen in shades of DMC or Gentle Art hand-dyed flosses, this finishes approx 10-1/2 x 7-1/2.

 Peace, Joy and Hopefrom Reflets de Soie 
Reflets de Soie has three new beaded pieces that finish into small ornament-sized designs. Only 63 x 63 stitches each, these are NOT stitches -- but BEADS! You cannot tell from the pictures but these are Champagne and Rose Gold in color, not blue and gray and white! I couldn't believe it when I opened the packages!Worked on 35 or 36ct linen with one strand of floss, you are simply sewing on a bead with 1/2 a stitch rather than doing a cross! Zip-Zap! Just so elegant... most of Isabelle's other beaded pieces have filled-in backgrounds, these do not. I am wondering if lighter fabric would make the silver-lined beads look different in color? Presented as the chart with pre-sorted and labeled beads, you supply fabric and thread to match the material. Gorgeous! | ||||

A double-duty thing... you get a bookmark design *It's a Mystery to me!* to tuck into the pages of your in-progress read, AND a super-cute book cover decoration! The JABCO girls are a whiz at printing artwork on perforated paper.  The big owl against the night sky is printed on paper.

All of this is shown mounted on the cover of a book... to make a really cute decoration on a bookshelf. So, a bookmark and a separate bookcase decoration! Val and JABCO did this for us as a Shop Exclusive at the recent St Charles MO Needlework Galleria consumer stitching show. Their kit includes a ton of stuff... the bookmark chart and perf paper, button, ribbon and felt, as well as the book cover printed perf paper and backing sheet, more buttons and felts... you'll just need to add your own floss.

 Push Light Magnifier Oh this is cool and very handy little thing! This is a LED-lighted personal magnifier.

PERFECT to see needlework stitches, fabric threads, needlepoint stitch details, a stubborn knot... your instructions, a needle's eye, a sliver... ANYTHING you can't see right now! It is designed to sit on top of your project or paper, but you can hold it in your hand as well. REALLY REALLY NICE! It comes with a very stiff microfibre zip-closure protective carrying case, and a microfibre lens cleaning cloth (because my hubby turned mine off by pressing on the lens instead of the ring and leaving a nice big fingerprint!). It automatically turns off after 10 minutes in case you forgot about it... it's just the most wonderful thing for seeing stitch detail! Weighing less than 8 ounces, it measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter and stands1-3/4 inches tall. | ||||

 Santa Claus Lane from Praiseworthy Stitches Praiseworthy Stitches has done a half-sized Christmas Scene, and finished it into a drum-shape just for fun! Measuring less than half the size of their huge Christmas Scenes, this finishes 14-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 32ct. You can frame it, or roll it into the round shape and make a 4 x 6 giant pin cushion! Stitched with hand-dyed or DMC flosses, it is super-cute! Santa is flying through they sky behind his team of reindeer... so those little ones down below better get home to bed soon!!!! He's on his way! Presented as the chart, the JABCO button embellishments are offered separately -- HOWEVER -- it is confusing. The button pack contains the snowmen, moon and star for the framed piece as well as the Santa face button you see on top of the drum. THEN, when they sent us the model, they had a set of JABCO Pin Mini's stuck in the top of the drum -- and they are a miniature matching Santa face, peppermint and holly leaf. You'll need the *pins* only if you finish this into the drum shape. For a limited time, we have a few finishing kits that contain their red finishing fabric, cord, finishing buttons and stiffener. | ||||
Antique Scissors and Spoolsfrom Shakespeare's Peddler Here's a cute little design that appeals to every stitcher! Especially the scissor-hoarders! Stitch count is 80 x 90. Choose any fabric you want, and any color thread you want! Theresa had some old lace, she added that... she says *do whatever you want!!!* Add a pocket to it somewhere to hold scissors... add some fun trim on the edges... make matching cushions for all your stitch buddies... anything! Offered as a chart. | ||||
Le Needle BirdThis is a fun little gadget... it's a needle threader with a thread cutter. Just the sweetest little wisp of a thing, it measures only 2 inches and only about 1/8 an inch thick, so it'll fit into bitty sewing cases and our Needle Safes. Flip up the plastic guard over the beak -- there is a threader there! It features a notch that will grab your thread before you pull it back out. Then, you even have a recessed blade there to cut your thread if you need it. Just small and fun, they come in assorted pastel colors. Get 6 and we'll toss in a 7th for FREE! | ||||
Needle BeetlesWell, these are the COOLEST little lighted needle threaders! A little 1-3/4 x 1/2 inch Needle Beetle fits right into your hand... it features a retractable wire needle threader that lights up! See the colored dot? Push it forward... out comes the wire, on comes the light for easy threading. There is even a tiny slit on the right side with a recessed blade to cut thread!  There is a lanyard hole to attach your beetle to something.Because the threader retracts, it is protected from damage. There are finger grips on that little button and the bottom of the beetle... and the battery lasts for up to 3000 threadings!!!!! Absolutely the cutest things... and super-functional!!! Available in yellow, green or red... because beetles come in all those colors! NOTE: These little guys are 1/2 an inch thick so have to be postmarked at 'package rate.' We're happy to send you just one Beetle, but suggest you piggy back her with something else to save on shipping costs. | ||||
 The Annual Just Cross Stitch Magazine Ornament Issue For the zillionth year in a row, here is the annual Just Cross Stitch Magazine's Christmas Ornament Issue. Shipping to us August 31st, we're taking reservations now. 65 Charts of ornaments from varied designers, some are exceptional, some are collectable, and some are truthfully not as great as the rest.

 Three New Punch Needle Designs from Threads That Bind Punch Needle is totally different than Cross Stitch... it produces pieces that look like miniature hooked rugs. We have an in-shop demo gal, but U-Tube can also offer good instruction for this. Designs are printed as line drawing on Weaver's cloth -- a muslin that has synthetic in it for strength. You need a super-tight-holding hoop (which we have) and the special needles (which we also have), and all you do is poke the needle up and down into your fabric to make the bitty loops of thread. Threads That Bind has tons of charming designs... these are three of her newest! Stage Fright finishes approx 5-1/2 x 5-1/2, Joyous Offering is 5-1/4 x 5-3/4, and Bee Grateful is 6 x 9. | ||||
 A Visit From St Nick Kits from Mill Hill Mill Hill is debuting a quartet of designs all stitched on 16ct Aida and garnished with their beads! Describing each design --
| ||||
 2-5/8 Preemie Scissors by Bohin Directly from France, we have these delightful little shiny gold scissors that are a teeny 2-5/8 inch in size. A petite size, these have a fairly sharp point, and I think a very slightly serrated blade. Serration -- that is the texturing on the blades -- like a ripply tomato or steak knife. It holds your thread in place better so when you cut; it's clean. (Your thread hasn't slid on the scissor blade and given you a frayed cut.) The gold on these looks elegant... they are NOT a 'cheapie looking' pair of scissors!!! Very Nice! | ||||
 New Arrivals in FLAX! The Fall Neutrals Two Collection We have just a smattering of some pretty FLAX tops in -- two delicious styles of Tunics in four mouthwatering colors!!! We ordered some black pants and white tanks in this collection, but the main pieces are the two tops in the pics. Gorgeous colors and really nice sleeve lengths and necklines; wear the Vintage shirt one open or closed, wear them with skirts or leggings or just jeans! | ||||
| ||||
 Headmistress Samplers from Cross Stitch Antiques These are two different sampler reproductions by Kathleen Littleton of Cross Stitch Antiques. (A very accomplished needle artist... between raising her 14 children, earning a law degree, and Masters degree in Theology, she designs samplers and runs an 1870's authentic general store in her hometown of Frankfort IL.) Presented in leaflet format, they are BEAUTIFUL! Coded for DMC floss, the colors you see on the covers and on the original samplers look alike -- nothing has faded in her originals -- and she has kept the pretty colors in her reproductions.

 Presenting the 2018 Mill Hill Christmas Bead Kit Collection! from Mill Hill Buttons & Beads These are the favorite 5 x 5 designs stitched with DMC and beads on 14ct perforated paper.

Merry Little Christmas and Brightly Shining are a pair -- hang them side by side. Penguin friends are decorating their igloo... I LOVE that cabin-in-the-woods -- complete with happy snowman in the yard, and the ornament trio is glisteny and elegant. The Cobbler Shop is this year's installment to Mill Hill's village series, and it's cute. | ||||
 Winter Holiday - The Mini-Kits from Mill Hill Here is the annual set of ornament designs -- these all finish approx 2 x 3 each. Presented as small kits of 14ct perforated paper with beads and floss, they are a perfect tree ornament size, and since they are so lightweight, they hang perfectly where you put them on your branches. | ||||

Finishing approx 3 x 5 on the included perforated paper, they don't have lots of beading on them... more cross stitch. You HAVE to have them if you have ever vacationed in one of the parks... or if they kind of remind you of a man in your life! | ||||

She is guardian of her Garden Roll (approx 10 inches long but only 2 inches high when rolled) that is stitched on Weeks 32ct Lilac Linen with DMC floss.Darling, darling, darling, Daisy's garden scenes decorate the outside of her roll. There is a birdhouse scene surrounded by lavender flowers. Another scene features a hanging flower basket above her koi pond. There are sunflowers around a shiny glass gazing ball, and a blue pottery pot beneath her rose trellis. Tiny daisy chains separate the scenes which are grounded with bargello grass patterns. The scenes are embellished with white and lavender pearls and a gold lotus flower closure. Inside, Nan says, 4 little helper mice are scurrying along the garden path to the scissor house -- a padded pocket for your 3-1/2 or 4-inch embroidery scissors. *Follow a mouse to the scissor house*! Daisy is adorned with flowers and a white daisy hat, she has a wired tail and is holding a miniature skein of floss!!!!! Pattern comes with all the necessary embellishments -- overdyed sage green wool, her wired string tail, antique brass button mouse base, flower hat, beads, pearls and gold lotus bead -- along with the 8-page stitch guide with full assembly instructions.

The colors in this are beautiful!!!! Rich reds and greens, the border is pretty and balanced. All the interior pots and vines are organized and all lined up neatly. The red house anchors everything down at the bottom... and notice how those motifs are centered above it? | ||||
 The Annual Set of Fall Button & Bead Kits from Mill Hill Here is this year's set of these charming 5 x 5 beaded and stitched designs! This year, we have some different designs... the Wanda'a Wands shop features glow-in-the-dark thread! All presented as complete kits of chart, DMC flosses, needles, Mill Hill glass beads and a button for garnish, along with a cut of 14ct perforated paper. We love to stitch these on either 28ct linen or 14ct aida and then stuff them into little hanging pillow, but they are also REALLY nice simply stitched on the paper and framed. (Mill Hill frames specified on the back of the kits can be special ordered... but we've seen some custom framed and they are drop-dead gorgeous!) | ||||

Some are presented as individual charts, others are grouped together -- 4 designs in one set. (NOTE: Not all of the charts are named(!) or numbered(!) so I had to kind of make up names to tell hem apart. Chart #1801 has a truck in it, but campers as well, so we chose the word TRUCK to identify it from the others.) | ||||
 Camp We'll-Be-Gone from Open Road Abode Needleworks Oh gosh... don't you want to be here NOW? What a fun little piece to hang at your cabin in the woods! Finishing approx 8-1/2 x 6-1/2 on 14ct, this one is charted for DMC floss but has some hand-dyed Weeks Dye works suggestions for the signs and areas that are supposed to be wood.You can personalize this with your cabin's name... just the neatest memories come to mind with this picture! | ||||

(They're on order, expected soon) Six-inch black iron twisting table clamps! Get these patterns FIRST before you decide on fabrics and various JABCO embellishments, finishing wools, beads and perle cottons -- there are lots of choices here -- and you need to study them first.
