 Three New Designs Arriving the First Week of June from Stitching With The Housewives!
| ||||
Presenting Heather's Hedgehog House - A Limited Edition to the Mouse-On-A-Roll Series from Just NanNan's newest release is due in the shop the first week of June! Heather Hedgehog lives in a cozy little A Frame house deep in the hedges of a country garden. Outside, the walls are covered with branches, vines, roses, wildflowers and berries. Two violet-painted windows help Heather check for visitors like her good friend Little Hedgie. Inside her home, houndstooth wool keeps her nice and warm. She's even flying her personal hedgehog flag from her roof! Use DMC and 2 shades of Weeks flosses - Seaweed and Plum - to stitch the house as one piece on weeks 32ct Lilac Linen. Add the matte rose beads for berries. Line the house piece with wool and fold it into the cute a-frame house with the sides joined at the roof line. The house measures just 2 x 2-1/4 and is actually big enough for 2 hedgehogs (which Nan promises do not need to worry about social distancing!). Heather is stitched on 32ct Platinum linen with DMC. Her coat is embellished with grape and antique white beads plus twisted bugle beads pinned in place for the perfect hedgehog look. She is wearing a lavender sequin flower/lilac pearl hat. Included with the chart are the 8-page stitch guide with finishing instructions, overyded houndstooth wool, signature button base for Heather, sequin flower hat, lilac pearl, hedgehog flag and beads. You'll need to add a few pins and stuffing. (Heather and her her house ARE part of the Mouse-on-a-roll auto ship - FYI - if you are a part of that!) | ||||

Princess Elliana from MirabiliaSomething fun has arrived from Mirabilia - Princess Elliana - a most colorful creature! One of Elliana's claims-to-fame is that she uses all the 35 newest colors of DMC floss that were released a few years ago in the gold collector's tin. Colors 1 through 35... do you have them? (She actually calls for a total of 63 DMC colors.) Well, this delightful creature is stitched on the prettiest shade of Peaceful Purple - either 32ct linen, or 16ct aida. The patterns in her dress are inspired by the delicate floral patterns on the china tea sets at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York City! She measures 20 x 11, and is garnished with 10 different shades of Mill Hill glass beads along with pink and peach crystal Treasures. All that classic Mirabilia coloring and shading... I look at the chart and my eyes glaze over... then there are some of you that can stitch these in the car! We have the charts available, both fabric options and the embellishment packet at well. | ||||

 Pepperberry's Halloween Lucky 13 - The Halloween Lollipop Series 
Pepperberry Designs has a 13-piece set of Halloween designs that are half-way through their release. We have the first 7, with the next three (3, 6 & 11) due in the shop around July 1st, finishing with the last shipment (4, 7 & 10) September 1st. SO CUTE, they are stitched on a combination of Weeks Dye Works's Chartreuse, Sky, Peoria Purple and Pumpkin shades of their hand-dyed linen with mostly DMC and Weeks flosses, with a few Rainbow Gallery metallics tossed in.Each finishes about 4 or 5 inches in size on 32ct.The contour shape on the finishing treatment lets you concentrate on the designs without too much extra fabric showing. They've trimmed them all in the same edging... you could change that if you want... and all of them are stuck onto sticks - like little lollipops. I'm thinking they need to be poked into a big 'ol bowl of candy... but I'm not sure the candy would last to hold them up! Each is presented as a single chart. (The first 7 are available now, remaining 6 can be ordered separately or through the auto-ship for future shipment.) | ||||

Each beaded band is just about an inch in width, and the ends are literally sewn together around the gorgeous silver sliding closure piece. The complete kits contain all the beads, thread and little charms dangling from the design. If you aren't a 'bracelet gal' - just loop these around the strap of your tote bag, or make them as flat ornaments for your Christmas tree! Everyone's Uncle has joined this little group this week! The blue bead background is a rich denim blue... he's just the cutest! | ||||

Each is cute just by itself, too... and individual blocks of them would make a great windowsill decor option.

In Friendship's Way from Blackbird DesignsBarb and Alma are also re-leasing this gorgeous book - 40 pages - featuring 12 small designs with a friendship theme... and it's also coming any day!

They begin with a pin cushion in a wire basket, next a lovely bird perched atop a painted and waxed paper mache box. Next is another topper for a wooden box... then a set of six stitched strawberries dedicated to friends, that are showcased in a 4 x 6-ish inch wooden and glass box. There is a framed sampler, and finally a button box that is actually the SAME box as used in Casting a Spell. It turns out that ALL THESE FUN FINISHING PIECES ARE AVAILABLE at Hobby Lobby and JoAnns... so they are inexpensive, available, and really easy to transform! (They even give you the stock numbers of the items!) Gorgeous, soft designs, pretty hand-dyed fabrics and flosses... I LOVE, LOVE it!!! | ||||

Announcing the Return of Common Ground and Silkwood Manor from Just Nan! They're Here! 
To quote Nan, "These are lovely, longer projects for our current stay at home world. Each leaflet includes graphs and instructions for needle books. The printing company who did the original 6-page leaflets was no longer in business, the charm manufacturer closed its doors, but we have persevered. The leaflets have a new format, the beads are the same, and we have found the charms from the original manufacturer at another source. Plus, we are adding Mini Slides with floral motifs from each sampler."
| ||||
We have 16 beautiful new arrivals by Marjorie Massey. Even though she's French... we can still read the chart symbols and our familiar DMC color numbers! (Her chart titles are very confusing and numbering is not consistent, so we'll try to do our best labeling them in our mouse-overs and dropdowns!) All are available in chart format, very clear, colored graphs. Remember, you can change colors and fabrics - it's YOUR stitching!!!! 
| ||||

Another Year Creeps Byfrom Ink Circles This is a delightful set of crooked little mandalas by Ink Circles - look closely - all Halloween-themed! Originally published as 12 monthly charts, this is the entire collection stitched as one. Tracy named each 3-1/2 inch panel - try to identify them! A Bone to Pick, A Little Batty, Amazing Ginsu, Black-Eyed Susan, Boxelders, Calamari Breath, Head Case, Ride This One Out, Rosy Outlook, Squash Watch, Sum of Your Fears, and Time for One More Stitch. You can make individual pin cushions, or use the border and join them all together - the whole thing measures about 10 x 13 on 40ct. Coded for Classic Colorworks hand-dyed cottons or DMC, it's really a very fun piece!!! | ||||
 Heartware Small Stoneware Bowl and Pocket Round Snowman & Flower Charts from Heart in Hand Oh is this a charming little bowl! Heart in Hand's newest stoneware piece measures a mere 2-3/4 inches in diameter and only 1-1/2 inches in height! Cecelia has designed several small designs to be finished into fabric lids for this little guy... so you can have a stitched Ort Bowl! A soft, neutral gray color... go through your stash and find some bitty designs for these. Make a bunch of lids so you can change 'em out! The Pocket Round Snowman and Flower are mis-leading on here. Truthfully, they stitched them on 32ct fabric... but then finished them into a round lid that is much larger than the 2-3/4 top on the bowl. You can assemble them much smaller - getting rid of all that extra fabric showing on the tops - and they'll fit closer to the top of the bowls. The Whirligig patterns will also fit these small bowls - just do them over one thread! | ||||
 Smallest Things Sampler from Heart in Hand *Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart!* One of Heart in Hand's newest releases, this cute little nursery piece measures just 5 x 5 on 32ct.

Presented as the chart with embellishments. | ||||
 Birds and Animals for the Seasons - I Colori delle stagioni #3 and #4 We have come across two set of designs - Birds and Animals for the 4 Seasons - that are charming! From Serenila di Campagna, they come from Italy, and include the seasons charted in English, French and Italian. The animals one features a cat, squirrel, geese and rabbit... each abut 90 x 50 in stitch count - without their seasons' name below. The birds are about the same size. I believe all are stitched on Country Vintage Mocha linen, and they are coded for tons of luscious DMC colors! Stitch them together as long pieces, or simply the smaller animals. | ||||
 Some Dramatic Pieces from Autumn Lane Stitching Here are 4 designs that are coded for DMC floss, but beg for some fun metallics to be added in - by YOU!

Friendly competitors with our DOVO friends... both companies operate in the famed 'Solingen Region' of Germany, and just like the registered name of "Kona Coffee" they cannot SAY they are Kona if they do not manufacture the coffee in the famous region of Hawaii, or Solingen Steel, if they are not from Solingen!
| ||||
| ||||
 Bee and Halloween Alphabets from Rovaris of Italy Paola and Livia Rovaris have a couple of unique alphabet designs that are presented as sets of 5 pillows! One has a bee theme, the other Halloween - in looking at them, the letters are in the same positions - but each is scattered with its own fun motifs. Find some cute finishing fabric first, then some trims, THEN choose your stitching fabric. They all finish about 4 inches high, but different lengths depending on how you finish them. What a neat presentation, you have to study them a little to see how they 'spell correctly!' We brought home several new designs from the Spring trade show by these ladies... click through the links to see everything else FUN! | ||||
 Fun New Arrivals from Thistle's Liezbeth... all the way from The Netherlands!
| ||||
 Anna Ohman 1873 from Lila's Studio By Lila's Studio, this is an adaptation of an antique sampler found at an estate sale in Illinois... probably stitched in Sweden. Lila had to fix the top band, and chose Classic Colorworks Used Brick (3 skeins) for her piece which features an eagle adorned with maple leaves and surrounded with an oak leaf border. Just beautiful, it measures 158 x 156 in stitch count. Presented as a chart. | ||||
 Stacy Nash Primitives has Several New Designs
| ||||
Charts with Pins from PuntiniPuntini When I think of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter... I think of carrots and clovers, picnics at the beach, leaves and acorns, and snowmen! Paola from Puntini Puntini has 4 cute little pillow designs coded for DMC floss that finish only 3 x 7 each on 32ct. She has included two of her hand-made clay buttons in each season's chart, and offers an awesome collection of CHARMING hand-made pins and buttons to garnish them even more - if you want! Even if you pass on these charts, her pins and buttons are Over-The-Top-Cute and very detailed. Enjoy!!! | ||||
Quakers in Holland and France from Tempting TanglesI show my ignorance of World History by wondering if Quakers were IN Holland and France... but we liked these colorful designs... so we ordered them! So... separate the Quaker motifs from the charming city and country landscapes if you want - or NOT! Designed by Tempting Tangles, each measures 168 stitches square - so 10-1/2 inches on 32ct. Coded for Silks or DMC, Deborah has captured the charm of Amsterdam with those tall skinny houses, the canals, and the charming windmill from the countryside. I love the 'shadows' in the background - like the houses just behind on the next street over. In France, you get villages in Provence, the rivers, the winerys, and of course Paris! Did you notice the Quaker motif made out of bicycles... or the one with the rooster? | ||||
 Mountain View Bay from By the Bay Needleart Harbor Haven and Serenity Harbor IN MINIATURE! (well almost!) By the Bay's Donna Bayliss has released this fun piece that measures a mere 9 x 7 in size. It has her same design flavor and personality as the huge Serenity Harbor and Harbor Haven patterns we have... without the other 11 patterns and lifetime-stitching-committment. Worked on 28ct Star Sapphire linen, don't you just want to LIVE in this picture? Coded for 24 shades of DMC, it's delightful, and offered as a single chart! | ||||
 A Two Rabbit Sampler, Little Summer Sampler, La-D-Da Quaker, Kinder Than Necessary and Blueflower Drum from La-D-Da Lori Markovic's most recent offerings include these designs...
| ||||
 Cute Novelty Scissors We brought home some Candy Corn and Sun & Moon scissors from Market! Joining our collection of owls, stars, ladybugs, pumpkins, pineapples and cactus, here are two more! The designs are all enameled on the handles of these 4-inch embroidery scissors. While they are not the greatest quality - cutting wise - and they don't feel like the *Melted Butter DOVO's,* they do have their place tied onto one of your cute stitched fobs or tucked into a fun sewing case to match their themed decor! | ||||
 Chessie & Me's Newest Things are Here!
| ||||
 Three Birds & a Bee from AB Designs Quite the cute little things, stitch a fat bird or bee, and perch it somewhere unexpected! AB Designs has 4 new, small charts for these cute guys - each finishes about 3 x 4 in size. They are stitched on small pre-made 18ct white Aida 'birds.' Stitch them, then sew together the bottoms, and they're done! Really a cute idea, if you are an over achiever - you can stitch both sides of them - but right now, they are shown with stitching on one side. We've included the bird fabric piece with each chart. | ||||
| ||||
 New Needle Nannys and Threaders from Puffin & Company! We have a frog, fun little flying pig, birdhouse and flowery butterfly. Each is made from copper, nickel and brass, and features a strong rare earth magnet to help it cling to your stitch board, or fridge, filing cabinet - whatever is metal.

 Christkindlmarkt from Pickle Barrel Designs This is dear to the hearts of the ladies here at The Silver Needle! It is a set of small designs all stitched together of a Christmas Market Scene! We hosted a Christmas Markets Cruise trip down the Danube River with Jeannette Douglas 4 years ago - and are planning our next one THIS COMING December! So... everyone who went on our delightful trip - or who is going on the next one will have to have this! By Pickle Barrel Designs, the top part is the header for the piece - check out those little gnomes (which have always been popular in Germany - but not here until recently!) Then, the glass Blowing booth - the first of the six stands. Parts 3 through 7 will be the glass ornament stand, a bakery, hot apple cider, (they all serve hot 'glu-wein' - hot sangria-type wine in special little mugs to collect from each market), hot pretzels and the roasted nuts! The individual stand designs all finish about 4 inches each. (Actually, there are terrific hand-made items at those markets too... and you should SEE the decorated trees the towns put up in City Center as well!) ANYWAY, I know our gals will add metallics and beads and fun threads to these... and maybe even tape a few ticket stubs and market fliers to the back of their finished framed piece! Even if you aren't coming along on our next cruise... this is a super-charming piece! It's a must have! We're offering an auto-ship for this. The first two charts shiped in March... the rest follow monthly-ish till it finishes sometime in August-ish! Coded for DMC and Weeks hand-dyeds, it finishes about 16 x 16 on 25ct Lugana - so any other fabric will make it smaller as well. | ||||
Mary, Mary Needleworkerfrom Lindy Stitches Lindy Stitches has a cute new design that needs to hang in your stitching room or somewhere in close proximity to your stash, fav stitch spot - or gee - the Family Room! She has two color options - day or nighttime stitching - and it's cute either way! Finishing 12 x 10 on 32ct, the little spool flowers are cute, and the dangling scissors, and of course the verse - it just makes us smile! | ||||
 Jenny Bean The Parlour Sampler from Shakespeare's Peddler Shakespeare's Peddler began designing this sampler several years ago... and has finally finished it! Jenny Bean is her imaginary young girl in Early America - we have the date of 1824 on here. Designed and released in 8 different parts over the years, we now have all the pieces and parts and can send you any or ALL of them! This delightful sampler tells about jenny's life, her surroundings, her beliefs, and at the bottom, we see her school, town and home. The piece measures 810 x 170 - so on the recommended 36ct Picture This Plus Wren Linen, it finishes 45 x 9-1/2 inches in size. If you can't picture that - please refer to Our Mona - who is graciously 'modeling' next to the framed piece! We have several different counts and colors of fabric that this will look great on... every option will require a 1/2 yard cut of fabric - linen or Aida. If you have been collecting this, you are probably missing parts 7 and 8 - (they will ship to our Auto-stitchers this week) but as I said, we can ship whatever parts you need! We love the finished piece... and love that 'Modeling Mona!!' | ||||
 Freedom from Madame Chantilly This is the CUTEST little patriotic mouse - bringing stars and a smile to your face! You can stitch him on top of the watering can or off... and choose the red, white and blue star twigs or the bigger stars that spell 'freedom.' Since Rossana is from Italy, she's included the Italian and French flags in here as well! Coded for DMC, the larger version is 114 x 122, the smaller one is 57 x 87. Absolutely the cutest! | ||||

Val's kits all come with 14ct perforated paper, the backing felt and necessary embellishments shown on her designs.

They were offered at Market, and once we sell out of our batches, we cannot get more. The Prim colorway contains tans and blacks, the Neutrals has more beige, but grays instead of the blacks. Just luscious, you have enough stuff in either of these to finish at least 3 or 4 pin cushions (more if they are small or you are frugal!) - and have them all coordinate! | ||||
School Bus Vintage from Lady DotOh I LOVE this twill ribbon! Lois has taken twill tape that is printed with inches and centimeters, dyed it a mustard yellow, and then made it grungy... kind of like if the schoolbus ran over it! SUPER cute as a decorative band across a sewing tote or pin cushion... you could make a tiny carrying tab to stick out of a pouch side, use it for a zipper pull... just anything! It's 100% cotton, 1/2 an inch wide, and you have 2 yards in the package to play with! | ||||

Christmas Square Dancefrom Heart in Hand Heart in Hand is beginning a new 12-part series of little 2-1/2 inch squares - each one featuring a different and fun thing about Christmas! We saw all 12 designs stitched together as well as singly at the Spring Needlework Market and THEY ARE SUPER CUTE! You're going to want this 4-part set of small charts. The first one is here now - the other three charts will release in April, June and August 2020. Stitched on 32ct Vintage Country Mocha linen, each bitty square mentions a word and little motifs - so we begin with Home, Sweets and Wrap. They are small enough for ornaments, you can join them all together for one larger piece or even make the individual flat stand-ups or little bricks. Our Auto-ship includes the charts only. You decide on fabrics - Cecilia even had them stitched over two on 18ct linen - cute too! | ||||
Basket Full of Easter, a Bent Creek KitThe next *thing of things* design... here's an Easter basket stuffed with two cute chicks, a pair of carrots, 5 decorated eggs, 5 flowers, a butterfly and that cute little blue bunny. There IS a lot on there! Complete kit contains the presorted #5 Pearl Cotton and cut of 18ct Natural Linen to make this cute 6 x 6 basket! The Flag, a Bent Creek Classic Chart Do you remember this? Bent Creek published it in 1995 - so it's 25 years old! A beautiful little flag, it measures 91 x 65 in stitch count - so 9 x 6 on 10ct, 6 x 4 on 32... or even 2-1/4 x 1-1/2 over one on 40! It uses just DMC of 815, 822 and 823... and the letters from the alphabet make up all the stars. The stripes have no pattern to them - just stitches here and there to get that raggedy flavor! | ||||
 Ronnie Rowe's Pen & Ink Cross Stitch Collection Stunning and sophisticated, Ronnie Rowe's artwork is 'single pixels' - placed just so - to create these awesome designs! (Actually ALL cross stitches are single pixels, but since we don't usually see them arranged this way in one color, our eye doesn't see that so much.) Stitched on any white fabric you wish, he uses only DMC #844 gunmetal gray to stitch his designs. (You can use any color you want, as well.) So appropriate in an office, library or family room setting, they are lovely, and presented as charts. The White House measures 300 x 400 in stitch count - it is am impressive 25 x 17 on 18/36ct... or 32 x 22 on 14ct. Mount Rushmore measures 300 x 220 - finishing 17-ish x 12 on 18/36ct. Lady Liberty measures 200 x 300 - again about 12 x 18. | ||||
Birthday Bluebirds Biscornu from Just NanWe're still celebrating our 35th Silver Needle Anniversary this winter - even though I think we're nearing Year 36! Just Nan has presented us with a commemorative Biscornu design - exclusive to Silver Needle! Stitched on 32ct Raw linen with 9 shades of DMC floss, our precious cushion features very sparkly flowers, birds and scatterings of beads against a snowflake of lacy white.  Just 3-1/4 inches square, each side is stitched - but different. One side has 4 tiny bluebirds tucked amidst its blossoms, while the other side has my initials and tiny 35 stitched on there. (LL - because she did it for me, and like Silver Needle I was 35 at one point!) There is an alphabet included in case you want to personalize this your way.Nan has featured petite beads of pearl, silver, gold and rose crystals, silver bugle beads, and silver triangle beads to garnish the 8 corners. There are two brushed rose gold heart beads tufted into the cushion centers... but the best part is the tiny little rose gold bluebird - a Just Nan Charmbead perched in a pearl-topped pin that you can poke in anywhere you like best! Pretty pinks, blues and whites, we love it! Presented as Nan's chart with all the necessary and special embellishments and Charmbead and 2 cuts of 32ct Raw Linen. DMC flosses are separate (set of 9) if you need them. We're taking RESERVATIONS now for a mid-to-late March Delivery... We LOVE our Birthday Present from Nan! Have you seen the cute petite little ceramic cupcake holders at Hobby Lobby? They have pink and blue - several colors actually - and we've perched our Birthday Biscornu on one to show you how CUTE they are with it! They let you elevate your cushion just a little to really show it off! | ||||
 Native Americans from Ronnie Rowe This piece speaks volumes! Stitched with Ronnie Rowe's favorite gunmetal DMC color of 844... you'll get to add 3072 to that image on the right to make it appear farther away, and then add a teeny bit of 3758 baby blue for that awesome sky! Measuring 320 x 480 in stitch count, your fabric choice will dictate the finished size. Such a great piece, it'll finish approx 23-ish x 34 on 14ct... but could be only 8 x 12 over one on 40! We have a fresh shipment of Ronnie's Cat's Eyes and Dog Portraits... they have been favorites for years! Click through to the inside page to see them all. | ||||
 Presenting the Bride and Groom Sugar Skull Style! from Satsuma Street If you've ever seen the movie *Coco* these will make you smile.

The kits include the paper, chart, flosses, beads and colorful sequins, and the bride even has a bit of tulle for her veil! Too Darn Cute! | ||||
  The Nutcracker Suite Ornament Collection from Satsuma Street These are positively enchanting - just like their story! Jody Rice's set of 8 paper ornaments are stitched on metallic 14ct perforated paper - the Snow Queen and Mouse King are on silver - the rest are on gold. Each measures approx 2-1/4 x 5 inches, and is stitched with DMC floss. Every one is garnished with glass beads and sequins - I see some snowflakes and flowers in them... so between the shiny paper and the glistening beads and those sequins, these really sparkle! Super colorful, these look stunning on your Christmas Tree because they are lightweight and can hang on the tips of the branches or where-ever your twinkle lights will catch them. The kits come with a huge, gorgeous color chart, the flosses, beads, sequins, needle and good instructions for sewing on the beads and finishing. | ||||
 
 Next, The Halloween Collection from Satsuma Street These are just as cute and festive as the Nutcracker Collection... absolutely bursting with color and personality! They are done on 14ct Black Perforated Paper - which is actually pretty easy to see! For a change - you can work on black and SEE IT! Varied shapes and sizes, they are all in the 2-1/2 to 4-inch neighborhood. The Pumpkin King Nutcracker is done on silver metallic paper and he's 5 inches. Each is stitched with DMCs of chartreuse/apple green, brilliant oranges, bright aqua, gorgeous purples, and deep fuscias. Totally yummy colors! The are garnished with glass beads and sequins in just the right places to make the designs 'pop!' Kits include the chart, paper, flosses, beads, sequins, needles and instructions for sequin-and-bead-attachment and finishing. It'll be hard to choose favorites! | ||||

 French Garden from Samplers Not Forgotten Another gorgeous piece released at Market by Samplers Not Forgotten, this one features a French proverb as the verse (which is also charted in English just in case!). Little by little the bird makes it's nest is the thought - the proverb advises that with patience (or time) and perseverance all goals can be accomplished. Look at those gorgeous florals cascading down the sides... and all those involved dividing bands - aren't they exquisite? That little bird motif in there would make a beautiful little pin cushion all by itself! Measuring 271 x 351, stitch this on any linen you like - it'll finish approx 15 x 19-1/2 on 36ct. Worked with Weeks flosses, you'll need multiple skeins of Arrowhead, Banana Pudding, Dove, Oilcloth, Caper, Dolphin, Blue Suede, Lily Pad, Whiskey, Gold, Sanguine, and that time and patience it talks about!
