 Wow... We have a new shipment of FLAX for Spring and Summer 2021! Last year was kind of a 'bust' for needing fun and new clothing... we really missed going to Market to see the new lines. (Welllll, there WAS no Market and there was no new) But Spring is here... we're getting our feet wet again, and filling a few of our racks with some bright Azure Blue, andMagenta! We have three colors of cotton/linen denim Jean Jackets, and some super-fun green and soft lavender stripe pieces. I didn't get a lot, just enough to freshen and excite! A few pictures here, all the details, colors, sizes, etc are on our FLAX page. Go take a peek if it interests you! | ||||||||
Happy Birthday America! from With Thy Needle & threadBrenda Gervais is previewing her newest little chart design - a miniature stitched birthday cake to America - featuring a very festive eagle! (But... you could finish this as a small pin cushion as well.) Due May 1st, we're taking reservations for this fun charted design. Measuring just 3-1/2 inches round on 36ct linen, it is stitched with bits of DMC floss and hand-dyeds of Grits, Palomino, Loden, Pea Coat, Red Rocks, Blue Suede and Grecian Gold. Brenda is supplying her alphabet-printed linen you see on the drum sides in the chart. The featured trim is by Lady Dot - Vintage Mini Pom, and is available separately. The chart gives sources for the 2 x 4 cardboard 'cake box' form, and the candle-stick wooden 'cake plate' base. Brenda says her finishing instructions will give you a 'prefectly-shaped cake with no wonky bumps or lumps... super easy, and no sewing machine required!' | ||||||||
 Presenting 18ct Perforated Paper by by Mill Hill This is a new size of paper for stitching. 14ct Perf Paper has been around for over 150 years... but this 18ct is NEW! Perfectly sized for the Petite seed beads, it comes only in white right now. Truthfully, we have no hints as to upcoming designs... but that's no reason not to have any! Something fun and new... 2 strands of floss would work on this... see what's in your stash to try on this! Comes packaged just like the 14ct - two 9 x 12 sheets - for $5.00 | ||||||||
 Luscious Cotton Velveteens from Lady Dot Creates We have 12 new sets of heavy-weight hand-dyed cotton Osnaburg fabric and matching 1/4 inch cotton tape that Lois from Lady Dot has dyed. Soft, dusty colors, nothing specifically calls for these, but they were pretty, and so I bought them! (We loved the color names, too...but grape jelly reminds us that this is a soft and dusty color palette.) 3 yards of Tape along with a 22 x 18 cut of the fabric, you can make several smalls out of each packet. Most of the tapes are head-on matches to the fabrics, a few are slightly differed in shade, but all coordinate beautifully - even across the collection. | ||||||||
 Seasonal Samplers from Tellin Emblem This is a set of 4 small charts - each features coordinating pots of flowers surrounded by borders and alphabets. Each measures 104 in stitch count, you can stitch them in a 4-square, or long vertical or horizontal piece... whatever. Now, LOOK at the petty pots in the centers. You could do single pin cushions of JUST those. You could do a stand-up cube with each season on a side... and work in the borders adding the season name if you want. Pretty colors, the alphabet fonts are all different - did you notice that? There are 28 different shades of DMC across the set, along with 6 more Gentle Art Hand-dyed Sampler Threads - so quite a colorful little set of designs! | ||||||||
 More Feed Sacks from Carriage House Samplings Here come two more fun designs that are meant to finish into little 'sacks' to display or use! Joining the Reindeer, Sheep, Chicken and Halloween Feed sacks we already have, these two are offered as separate charts. Stitched on Picture This Plus' 32ct Faun hand-dyed linen, with regular DMC floss, they finish approx 8 x 9. They would be SUPER CUTE finished as directed (even the finisher's contact info is on here for you!) and filled with sand or something and used as a door stop. What a fun and unexpected way to display your needlework! You could also make them into a little pillowcase to go over a microwaveable sack of rice or corn (or whatever you like inside yours) to use as a warming sack for cold hands and feet! A fun collection of designs so far. | ||||||||
Sea Box from RovarisOh Look - Livia's Limited Edition Sea Tray! New supply has arrived! *Sea* is stitched in the middle of this charming 5 x 7-ish stitched medley of underwater critters and foliage. Seahorses, a crab, and a big octopus... it's a busy little underwater scene. Along with the chart, you will be getting this cool 7 x 7 x 2-ish inch wooden tray. It features that display area for your stitched cushion, and three holes to hold your needlework implements. Livia is including the striped finishing fabric you see, and a bunch of cute seaside charms that are dangling there off the cushion. Super-cute... we aren't sure what the wooden tools are - I think a stitch remover and stilletto - but that'll be a surprise! UPDATE: I've just heard the two included wood tools supplied are one seam ripper and one frogger. | ||||||||
 Beggar's Luck from Threadwork Primitives That same blackbird checking his plentiful horn-of-clovers. Finishes 5 x 7 on 32ct Picture This Plus' Legacy - Onyx, Garrison green, Pecan, Moss and Olive. | ||||||||
 Fun Needlework Accessories from Sampling of Memories These Scissor, Thread and Needle Keepers feature vintage artwork from ads by DMC and Sajou. Dressed up a little with a mini-stork scissor charm, each metal square measures 1-inch in size. Pretty little do-dads to have! We'll send a combo of the two or make them match - if you have a preference for one of the other, please let us know in the order form's comments box.
| ||||||||
Emily's Hope from The Drawn ThreadDrawn Thread's newest design came today... it's full of songbirds in their tiny garden. Measuring just 2 x 8 on 32ct, it's a bitty thing full of charm. Each letter of HOPE has its own bird tucked between some blossoms (worked with special stitches); the E even has a baby bird in its nest. Something uplifting to stitch - make a long cushion just to perch on a windowsill! Coded for Gentle Art Sampler Threads or silks. | ||||||||
Carrots for Salefrom Madame Chantilly Here's a sweet piece from Madame Chantilly - a bunny family selling their crop of carrots. Each of the components are cute, just the carrot cart by itself, but especially that little sitting rabbit... they'd make a cute pair of cushions nestled in next year's Easter Egg Basket! Regular DMC, stitched on any white fabric, it's a generous 167 x 91 in stitch count. | ||||||||
 Enjoy Better Living!... Our April 2021 Secret Needle Night Kit Well, you can take this anyway you like... but I got my inspiration from a vintage magazine ad... and it IS charming! Lots of #5 Pearl Cotton, I made the iron cord look like the old striped cords they used to have. The vacuum cleaner bag (yes, that IS a vacuum cleaner, and they used to come with bags!) cover is done in Velvet. Just for fun, stitch it (finishes approx 4-1/2 x 7) and display it to start a conversation! The kit comes with the 18ct white linen, chart and threads. Mona made us a finishing kit that includes the finishing boards, rik-rak trim, backing fabric, pin and polka-dot trimming, and her awesome instructions. | ||||||||
Pansy Bunny and Her Pansy Rose Cube - New Spring Arrivals from Just Nan
| ||||||||
 New Arrivals from Mani Di Donna
| ||||||||
 Boardwalk Revue, Bunny Rabbit, Bee Bungalow, Acorns Among Us, and Love You This Much from Fern Ridge Collections The Fern Ridge ladies - Pat and Peggy - have been busy during the lock-down BEADING their fingers off! We have 5 new Peyote Beaded Fobs to prove it and 4 matching stitched needle cases! The fobs are always the showy-glitzy half of the sets, so I am cheating here and showing you the glamour and sparkle. Our models will be finished in a few weeks - at which point I'll have much more fun pics to show you, but for now... here we go! Each of the fobs comes as its own complete kit. I have taken P & P's classes at market, and can tell you that (once you get past the first three rows of the Peyote!).... it is super-fun and the neatest thing to do. (You cannot do these in the car!) You hold this in your hand to create...and you work from the straight bottom edge up to the pointed top. P & P present these as either a color chart to follow (I like that) or a page of horrible run-on numbers that knitters love - and know how to follow! It's just so funny to see how different minds follow instructions! So, you finish the (approx 1-1/2 inches) of flat beading, attach the top decorations and scissor clip. Then, you get to string all the flashy and cool beads all along the bottom to make that one or two-inch fringe. They give you the actual bead pictures in the instructions, so you know what (pre-labeled) beads go where. The most challenging part of the fringe is keeping the finished strands out of the way of the one you're stringing! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the finished products... I'm just so impressed with myself for making them!
| ||||||||
 Three new Classic Colorworks Overdyed Flosses have finally Arrived! Baking Tin, Vanilla Custard and Chocolate Mousse are great additions to Diane's line. They are already in our floss 'clicky boxes' in the shopping cart, but for now, you can just order the trio to have when one of your new patterns calls for them! | ||||||||
|
The 2021 Annual Mill Hill Autumn Bead Kits Have Released! Wow, Plenty of time to work on these before the frigid Fall temps hit! (We're still waiting for the rest of Spring to arrive!) Mill Hill has sent their collections of small 3 x 3 and larger 5 x 5 beaded-on-paper designs that are perennial favorites!  Mill Hill's Autumn 2021 Button & Bead Kits are Here! Complete kits of chart, 14ct perforated paper, DMC flosses, needles and Mill Hill beads and buttons, these are a great value. Witch's Brew features a black fat cat button; Playful Cat has a bumble bee button. Spooky Gate is definitely our shop favorite - it features a skinny black cat button - and all those fantastic colors in the sky. Outdoor Adventure and Autumn Swing remind us of the great outdoors (and bugs in Oklahoma!), and Floral Pumpkin is inspiration for my front porch decorations! Each finishes about 5 x 5... and if you want to substitute linen for them - choose 28ct. We assemble our shop models into little hanging pillows.  2021 Autumn Harvest Collection from Mill Hill These are the little 3 x 3 ornament-sized designs that are fun on your Christmas tree - or finished as magnets to cling to your frig or file cabinet. Complete kits of 14ct perforated paper, you get the paper, chart, beads and threads, along with the needles. The little moon is cute - it matches the bigger pumpkin from last year. Rosie Racoon is darling! Fall Flamingo goes with the summer one we already have! Pumpkin Delivery is ready for the Guiness Book of World Records - that pumpkin must weigh a ton! Fall Fun has a sign to the corn maze, and Halloween Owl has that spindly little spider friend! | ||||||||
 The Rainbow Bridge for Cats and Dogs from AB Designs These are darling, colorful designs for something that I just can't even THINK about! Amy has separate charts for cats and dogs, and gives you three different shapes and colors of animals to help you personalize yours. Stitched in DMC or Weeks hand-dyed flosses, I love how she's kept the collars and used them on the pillows. | ||||||||
 Announcing AB Designs' next 2021 Stitch-along - A Year of Snowfriends! This monthly series will begin this June. Amy will begin with the main chart and July. Then, every other month, you'll get two more charts, till it finishes next year. Charts include embellishments. The sample is stitched on Weeks 20ct Tin Roof hand-dyed linen, but we think 18ct Natural will work well too. You can use floss - or bits of your #5 Pearls left over from stockings and other fun projects you've finished! Our Warm & Wooly auto is finished... so this is next year's project! | ||||||||
 America the Beautiful, Liberty Farm and July Calendar Crates from Stitching With The Housewives Stitching With The Housewives has three new releases planned. All three are delightfully colorful - stitched with Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses or DMC. Choose a darker fabric to get the chalkboard look that highlights the white lettering. They also have a new series beginning - Calendar Crates. Finishing 7 x 7 on 28ct, there will be a main design, and a bonus 3 X 5 design that isn't shown. You can see the July one here - it kicks off the set - so our auto-ship for those will begin when it ships. Always cheerful and festive, Priscilla and Chelsea have a great collection of designs - for every season of the year! | ||||||||
 A New Star is Born from MTV Designs This is an elegant 'mattress' pin cushion by MTV Designs. I don't know how to describe the shape except to tell you it is curvy - kind of fluted - and it has a center 'button' that is stitched. Worked on 32ct linen with Weeks flosses of Lancaster Red, Olive, Pumpkin, Turquoise and Curry, it looks to have 6 'sides'... and it finishes approx 4 inches across and an inch high. Our charts come with the three Murano Glass pins you see in the pic... Maria sent assorted colors of those - but all match the thread colors. Just a beautiful, unusual little thing... presented in a chart with lots of finishing photos and those lovely pins! | ||||||||
 Holiday Berries, Mary Broom 1824, and Sarah Jackson from The Scarlett House Tanya Brockmeyer of The Scarlett House has three new releases!
| ||||||||

Ink Circles is doing a year of rabbits - you can stitch them all together or make smalls. Presented in individual small charts - you can get those on our auto-ship, or get just your individual favorites. We do have the Lady Dot Creates trim and finishing kits for these cushion options, so you can have that orange and white gingham, the lace and the apricot mini-poms shown! | ||||||||
Rose Cottage Sampler Pinkeep and Holly Basket Sewing Roll from Stacy Nash PrimitivesStacy Nash has more neat designs that have just released...
| ||||||||
 Presenting Caroline Amelia Trowell from With Thy Needle & thread Brenda Gervais is releasing a new sampler reproduction the middle of April!

The are photos of the original antique sampler in the leaflet as well. Packed with sweet motifs, there are 3 'sections' to this... lots of opportunity for small cushion take-outs... and a pretty sawtooth border. Stitched on 40ct hand-dyed linen by Seraphim, we have SEVERAL color options by Seraphim in various counts... so I am sure we can find you something lovely. Brenda uses a medley of DMC solids and Weeks hand-dyed flosses. | ||||||||
Sarah Macgregor's Sampler: The Lords Prayer AND Choose Your Own Adventure: Sarah's Worke from Shakespeare's Peddler

 Dog Lovers, Cat Lovers and TONS of Buttons and Pins from PuntiniPuntini Our Puntini Puntini Button order has finally arrived from Italy - and we are experiencing Button Bliss and Pin Pleasure! Paola does such a great job on her tiny creations - they are truly bitty works of hand-made art. Check out our interior page that lists everything we have - these two new charts are there too! Cat and Dog Lovers - Presented as charts, each measures 70 x 90 in stitch count. Coded for DMC, change your house colors and what you have growing in the pots if you need to... but don't change the cute little clay puppy or kitty sitting on the front steps! You get that button along with the round 'paw' button above the door, and the matching (smaller version) dog or cat pin that you see up on the roof. If you stitch just the house, and not the bottom border, they'd make a 4-inch pin cushion, and then you could stick that pin in there where ever you want! Each chart comes with its necessary 3 Puntini clay pieces. And don't miss the Dog Pins and Cat Pins, if you want even more embellishment! | ||||||||
 Primavera can gli Angeli from Cuore e Batticuore This is a sweet collection of little Springtime angels - both boys and girls on here! We have a Christmas set as well - just the cutest. All stitched with DMC flosses, they are all about 60 x 60 in stitch count, and you can finish them in lots of different ways - bedroom door-knob hangers come to mind, and what about the Tooth Fairy? 6 Angels in each set... they are beautifully charted in color. | ||||||||
 Woodland Sampler from Marjorie Massey Here's another delightful quaker-inspired sampler by Marjorie Massey. It'd be neat hanging in a mountain cabin because it features deer, evergreens, squirrels and acorns, and it has a 'coverlet feel' to it because of the reverse alphabet at the bottom. Stitched in only one or two colors - choose a hand-dyed that you like against a background fabric that you like - absolutely nothing is called on the chart! Put your family initial in the center circle... and you know what? You can even change the alphabet to spell anything else besides THE ALPHABET! Stitch count is approx 170 x 200, the chart is nice and big, and she does have it printed in two colors of ink. | ||||||||
 Intense Color from Autumn Lane Stitchery Wowza! New designs by Autumn Lane Stitchery - you are in for an explosion of color with these! You can just FEEL the potions flying around in the air, and you can HEAR all the swooshing and bubbling and screeching going on. Each one of these is busy and vibrant. All four are presented as leaflets offering huge charts along with a colored master chart. They are all the same stitch count - 140 x 196. Coded for DMC - they all use fun, unusual colors of hand-dyed linens - which can lead to a witch-hunt of it's own! Designed by Aaron Houston - he used to be a comic book artist in his former life! | ||||||||
Erica Michaels has been busy with new releases... all are waiting for your stitching fingers!
| ||||||||
 New Arrivals from Accoutrements Wow... I need these Ruby slippers to transport me to the seashore so I can enjoy the palm trees and flamingos! Jeweled need minders with super-duper strong magnets attached... you can always find a place for another one of these! The flamingo is 3 inches tall, but the rest are smaller - an inch or two at best. Just love 'em all! | ||||||||
 Heartstring Samplery's Sunday Stitches Series is Underway. Our first three hymns are here... don't know if you've missed any of them thus far, but we are being treated to one 'new' old hymn each month. Presented as charts, Beth Twist's designs are worked on all different fabrics - so you can choose what YOU like best - and she's chosen softly hand-dyed threads from Classic, Gentle Art and Weeks - but offers DMC conversions as well. Each piece finishes approx 4 x 7 on 36/18ct or 6 x 10 on 14. The other 9 coming in the next 9 months will all be surprises... but we'll have them all! Join our monthly auto-ship, or just pick up your favorites as they come out. | ||||||||
 New Arrivals from JBW Designs Judy Whitman has several new things...
| ||||||||
Baked With Lovefrom New York Dreamer This is a stitched rolling pin cover! It has little valentine cookies on it, along with sugar and flour and it says *Baked With Love.* Stitched on 16/32ct with DMC or hand-dyeds, it's actually pretty cute, and will fit around a classic 18-inch rolling pin. I do have to share... when I opened The Silver Needle 37 years ago - in 1984 - I carried little Aida cloth blanks to stitch and cover wooden rolling pins! We sold a TON of them. So here I am, 37 years later, still at it I guess! This chart is a little expensive though... be aware of that, but otherwise... what a fun gift for a baker! | ||||||||
Sit and Stitch and Fall is in the Air from Little House Needleworks A pair of new arrivals by Little House Needleworks, both are presented as charts.
| ||||||||
 Christmas Morning from Sue Hillis Designs Sue Hillis' delightful artwork is all over this box top and sides, along with more cute matching designs for ornaments, git tags and stand-ups. 'Santa Claus is coming' is featured atop a 7-inch plain paper box, and reindeer race around the sides. Every design in here is so cute and colorful, I don't know which one I like the best. If you stitch them all, you'll need a 1/4 yard of fabric and lots of DMC. Complete finishing and assembly instructions are included in here - pages and pages, pictures and pictures! Of course, nothing says you have to finish any of these designs like the pics... but the book offers really nice suggestions and lessons. The little reindeer around the box are all slightly different, the rocking horse measures about 4 x 5 | ||||||||
 Elf On The Shelf from Fairy Wool in the Wood We're a little 'off-season' right now for this little guy - but ARE WE? Hmmmm.... by Fairy Wool in the Wood, this cute little design should remind you all year long of what Santa is seeing! 9 x 100 In stitch count, it is presented as a chart with a key charm and two little jingle bells, and coded for 10 shades of DMC floss. Don't know how long this little guy will be around! | ||||||||
 For a Couple of Weeks... More PRIM Finishing Packs from Lady Dot Creates A little treat from market last week... we have a few of Lois's finishing assortment packs of hand-dyed velveteens, ribbons, trims and buttons that will all coordinate to finish several small projects. A PRIM theme, everything in here is black, taupe or cream, it all goes together and so will back and trim about 3 to 6 pin cushions/fobs/cases. The idea here is to provide you with a quick grab-n-go assortment that goes together. 3 Velveteens are about 10 inches square, 5 trims and ribbons - 24 inches each. | ||||||||
 The Spring 2021 Punch needle & Primitive Stitcher Magazine Wow... always a treat when this finally comes... the Spring's issue is no exception! 21 complete projects - all punch needle or cross stitch, some of the featured designers include The Blue Flower, Lela Mae, Rovaris, Stitching With The Housewives, Teresa Kogut and Barbara Ana!

 Stars & Stripes Forever and American Sampler House from Annie Beez Folk Art Here are two pieces that just might get you into the mood for the 4th Of July! By Annie Beez, they both feature cool house and neat billowing flags... I like them both!
| ||||||||
 Lobstah Dinnah Ornament from The Elegant Thread This is the CUTEST thing! By The Elegant Thread, stitch this cute little red lobster - he's 2 x 3 - and put him inside his mesh cage - he's ready to bring home for dinner! (Or you can hang him on your Christmas Tree, or perch him somewhere in your kitchen!) Presented as a complete kit, you are stitching him over one thread on 22ct hand-dyed aqua blue linen. It's a pretty coarse weave, so it's not hard to see. Next, sew him together into a little pillow - the red and cream checkered backing fabric and interfacing are included. Then, roll the plastic mesh - included - into his trap, tie him inside there with the bit of included twine... and you're finished! This is SO creative and cute... I'm in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma... I've never set lobster traps in my life, but even I know this is *a winnah!* | ||||||||
 Gingerbread Valley Series from Blackberry Lane Designs Marie Driskill has been busy designing gingerbread house ornaments! You see several pics here... Peppermint Candy is both the front and back of the same house! Sugared Gumdrops is her second house-in-progress - and you are seeing only the front of it so far. So... Peppermint Candy is stitched on 32ct Gingerbread Linen by Picture This Plus. It measures approx 4 x 4, and is FULL of charming design detail! The chimney is a cupcake... and can you see the elf climbing on the roof? On the front side, you can see him just to the right of the cupcake - I think he's sneaking a snack. The front is decorated with a clay wreath on the door, tiny gingerbread cookies, and snowy evergreen tree buttons - all are made by Just Another Button Company and Puntini. Now, look at the back of the house... there's the little guy on the roof again! We have the set of hand-made clay buttons featured on both the front and back of this house all gathered together. A peppermint, wreath, 2 gingerbread cookies, 2 evergreen trees and two hand-made gifts - they are lovingly made by Just Another Button Company and Puntini Puntini! The cutest miniature gumdrop beads are included with the chart - Marie has used them on her hanger - they are cute enough to eat - so keep them away from little fingers and mouths! Sugared Gumdrops' house is an A-Frame gingerbread house. Marie is still working on the backside of that house... so it's still a surprise. BOTH front and back of this house will also be in this chart! Buttons are available separately... and we have them. (Not enough info about Sugared Gumdrops selection yet.) | ||||||||
 Creepy Pumpkin Stackers from Praiseworthy Stitches Wow. this is a creative way to finish your stitching! Pam and Susan have designed three various-sized stitched pumpkins and then shown you how to finish/assemble them for a cute stacking Halloween display. The feature is the ANTIQUE WOODEN SPOOL they are stacked around! You can choose any three colors of fabric you like for your pumpkins - they tell you how to adjust the templates if you change from the 32ct Weeks Chestnut, Tiger's Eye and Cappucino choices used. Stitching is done with Weeks, Gentle Art and Kreinik threads, with some Mill Hill beads and a JABCO spider button. (You can get creative from your stash with creepies to embellish this too!) Next, assemble the pumpkins - you are leaving the centers open - and then placing them over the spool to stand up! FOR NOW the antique spools are included with the charts - so neat! | ||||||||
Tournesol Bleufrom Reflets de Soie Isabelle of Reflets de Soie has yet another over-the-top elegant beaded pincushion creation. Stitched entirely in petite glass beads, you're doing only half stitches with one strand of thread over 2 on 35ct linen. (I haven't tried it, but you can probably do these on 18ct Aida - but you might need the curve of the cushion stuffing to make the fabric convex so the beads lay properly.) Presented as the chart with beads, Isabelle has sorted and labeled all the beads, so you're ready to go. Tournesol Bleu measures just 69 x 69 stitches - so under 4 inches in size, and she's finished it into a biscornu shape.Talk about an elegant cushion! The metallic beads just glisten - like the reflecting gold leaf on the display plate! | ||||||||
 Doodles of Spring and The Friendship Garden Heart in Hand has a pair of Spring-y feeling designs that have just released.
| ||||||||
 Monthly Trios: July, August & September from Waxing Moon Designs Three 4 x 5 designs to celebrate Wintery-weather, these might all be cute finished on three different sides of a block stand-up! Coded for DMC or hand-dyeds, garnish the box top with cotton snowballs! | ||||||||

 New Lovelies From La D Da!
| ||||||||
Spring Scamper from Luminous Fiber ArtsOh my gosh, this is the CUTEST! What a wild ride everyone is enjoying! *It's time for Spring Scamper, the annual race through the tulips to see who is the fastest! The bunny and chick are leaping into the lead, while their friends race to catch up in their carrot-mobile. A chick in a radish plane (that is the best part!) flies overhead towing the race banner while tossing carrots like confetti down on the competitors! What a charming scene! Presented as a chart, this measures 111 x 266 - so it'll finish approx 7 x 16 on 32ct. Worked with hand-dyeds and lots of DMC, I just love it. You COULD do this on 18ct linen and use #5 Perle Cotton... like the Bent Creek globe kits or the Shepherd's Bush stockings... then finish it into a glorious big couch pillow... it'd measure 12 x 30! (take a ton of thread... but how fun anyway!) Enjoy several other new designs when you click through! | ||||||||
My Necessity and Springtime Pin Drum from Heartstring SampleryBeth Twist from Heartstring Samplery has a couple of new charts ready for release...
| ||||||||

| ||||||||
 A Time for all Seasons Series from Cottage Garden Samplings We didn't know there was going to be a set of 12 of these. #1 January's It's Snow Time and #2 February's Love is in the Air are both here! Same stitch count size - 100 x 130 - both are stitched on a medium-ish hand-dyed fabric color - something to highlight the white colors in each. We have no idea if they'll all be on this same background or not... so maybe just collect patterns till we know? Or just stitch only the ones you like and forget the rest? Charming so far, each is presented in a chart and coded for mostly DMC with a few hand-dyeds tossed in for fun. | ||||||||
 Several New Arrivals from Kathy Barrick

Oology! from Satsuma Street This delightful set of 4 eggs is the perfect project for the start of Spring... and better yet, they are all presented in ONE leaflet! Each 3 x 4 egg is stitched on 28ct linen - but Satsuma loves perforated paper as well, and these would be awesome as paper eggs too! Coded for DMC, get out some beads and metallics if you feel like it... these gorgeous pastel eggs will be so much fun to stitch! | ||||||||
 Lots of Lovlies Coming from Teresa Kogut!!!

The kit includes the chart, linen, threads, trims, the charm and the backing fabric - which you can get a glimpse of in the background of our pic. What a pretty piece! | ||||||||

When your 4 are finished... either display them or store one or all of the 'out-of-season' panels in the cute little stitched 'bucket!' It's also perfect for storing recipe cards or chocolate!

A charming set... Beth Ann has done Fragments for several years... we have several past years' still available! | ||||||||
 Antrim's Folly by Heart's Ease Examplar Workes This has been one of Theresa Baird's exclusive class pieces that is now available in chart format. Just a gorgeous piece, Theresa's inspiration came from a Betty Ring sampler that sold at a Sotheby's auction for over a million dollars in 2012. She was enchanted by the mansion with the cedar trees, the barnyard with the animals, the young lady sitting straight and proud atop a horse, the farmhouse on the hill, and the flanking baskets of fruits and flowers. It measures 257 x 355, and is worked in silks. The chart is 38 pages... it is full of stitch diagram detail, and actual close-up pics of some areas. Not for the faint of stitcher - not the quickest stitch either! Just an EXQUISITE needlework design to tantalize the brave! | ||||||||
 Please Grow and Spring is Springing from Val's Stuff Two new arrivals by Val's stuff... they hint at Spring, but after this last February weather... who knows?

 Growing Green by Debbie Mumm for Mill Hill The folks at Mill Hill have released 4 new herb-inspired designs with the artwork of Debbie Mumm featured! Chives, Oregano, Basil and Rosemary - each is presented as a full kit stitched on 16ct Aida with DMC flosses and garnished with a sprinkling of glass seed beads. Basil and Oregano are stitched on a dark brown, Rosemary and Chives are on a much lighter beige. All 4 coordinate in color - limes, soft browns, oranges and creams - and each finishes 4-1/2 inches square. Pretty for a kitchen! | ||||||||
  Presenting Jelly Bean Jubilee from With Thy Needle & Thread Brenda Gervais has just announced her newest leaflet release - Jelly Bean Jubilee! Seven cheerful bunny and bean designs - full of bright, happy colors! Stitch them all on a fat-quarter cut of your favorite fabric... round up some cute ribbons and trims... and you'll be ready for Easter! | ||||||||
 Presenting the Music in America Series from Ronnie Rowe Wow... these are definitely for the serious music lover - and a serious stitcher! Ronnie Rowe is a really fun guy. I'd heard about his stuff for years... I didn't know he was a 'real person' until he showed up at market for the first time a couple of years ago! The man is eternally cheerful and assured me he was, indeed, alive! Completely talented - he sketches out all this stuff and then stitches it and charts it! Absolutely unbelievable in detail and vision, his designs will remain classics. His covers really don't do justice to the stitched pieces. New this year are these 5 tributes to music. Each is presented as a chart and coded for just plain 'ol DMC floss. His style is to mimic pen and ink - these are so exciting, so realistic. They'd be lovely in a music room, recording studio, office, school... anywhere someone can appreciate them. They are generous in size - all around 12 x 17 (180 x 270 or 300 in stitch count) - so visually commanding! | ||||||||
 Sunday Stitches - Amazing Grace, Next Door & Be Mine Biscornu from Heartstring Samplery Heartstring Samplery has new releases that are fun. One begins a new monthly series!

 First Frost, With This Needle, & Hop on Inn from Hands On Design

  Mill Hill's Spring 2021 Bead Kits! OK... no time for Winter-Blues... Mill Hill always releases before the seasons so we have time to get all this finished to display! All are presented as complete kits - 14ct perforated paper - they use lots of different colors of that, DMC flosses, Mill Hill Beads and the necessary needles. The Larger Buttons & Beads line finishes 5 x 5-ish, while the smaller Spring Bouquet kits are the ornament size - 3 x 3-ish. Can't wait to get them stitched - I bet the fish and the citrus pieces glisten with awesome bright colors. And.. we love that little pink elephant! All are ready to ship and really fun to stitch. We even have small beading needle threaders that fit those tiny beading needles in the kits. | ||||||||
 2021 Collector's Heart from Heart in Hand Heart in Hand is releasing this year's Collector heart kit - and it's real cute! The complete kit contains 32ct Faun hand-dyed linen from Picture This Plus, along with a smaller cut of 32ct Vintage Country Mocha for the bonus design included. The included hand-dyed flosses by Classic Colorworks will do both designs - there are 11 different shades on these. Look for the Good! Cecelia is retiring all the rest of her previous Collector Heart kits. She's designed them for years, but fabrics come and go, and continually kitting over the years gets complicated! So.... 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are in VERY LIMITED supply right now. We're OK with 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 for the time being. Any year not listed here is already sold out and retired. Clicking the link above will take you to a grouping of all of the Collector's Hearts. | ||||||||
To All a Good Nightfrom Shepherd's Bush Tina and Teri have a darling new pin cushion out... and now we have lots of time before next Christmas to get it stitched to enjoy! Stitched on 32ct Natural Linen, the cushion finishes 5 x 5. Santa - complete with billowing striped hat - is flying across the sky. There are reindeer and sheep on here... an ornament and candy cane garland, even little snowman wearing a striped sweater! Very cute, the complete kit comes with the linen, hand-dyed flosses, a few button and bead embellishments, as well as bright green fabric for your backing treatment and the most gorgeous shade of pretty red hand-dyed chenille from Lady Dot Creates. It'll be fun to have and stitch! | ||||||||
Honey Hill Hamletfrom Artful Offerings Here's a very organized piece... stitched on Picture This Plus's Doubloon Linen with DMC or Gentle Art's hand-dyed flosses. You'll need Baby Spinach, Ruby Slipper, Carriage Black, Chamomile, Wood Trail, Gold Leaf, Pecan Pie and Chalk. On 40ct, it is still quite large finishing about 7-1/2 x 10-1/2. The bees in the octagonals would make nice scissor fobs. Very patterned, very neat and tidy... pretty colors! | ||||||||
 Let Freedom Ring from Lila's Studio This is a beautiful piece that will finish an impressive 15 x 19 on 32ct. Released in 2017... we've had it, but I didn't pay attention to it until recently. Just lovely, Independence Hall is so pretty with the trees in the background. All the windows, the arches, the hand-dyed threads making the bricks look real... the billowing flag and cracked Liberty Bell... this piece makes quite a statement! 25 Shades of DMC along with 6 hand-dyeds... the building is Classic Colorworks Calico Kitty, and the trees are Endive, both of which require 4 skeins of thread. Lila has done an excellent job with the chart - it's huge, full of contrast and has symbols next to each other that are EASY to tell apart. Just whip this right up - it'd look great in the Family room or an office! | ||||||||
A Perrenial Favorite of Ours... And a Forest Grew from Rosewood ManorOk... pull out your DMC floss... this awesome piece uses no less than 100 of them!!! Every green you can imagine... lots of chestnuts, butterscotch, and terra cotta earth tones, this sampler is delightful to look at! Karen, the designer, says she was researching trees for samplers, and found so many different ones... that 'A Forest Grew!' Filled with so many charming details of tiny forest wildlife, and delicate, lacy trees, you just keep looking at this and finding something new all the time. Stitched on 32ct Cream Belfast Linen, this finishes an impressive 26 x 12-1/2. There are several ideas and smaller charts included to help you pull out little bits here and there, to add to a needle case somewhere, or create some bands for another sampler. So different, such pretty balance with the sizes, colors and detail! Offered as a leaflet. Need floss? Check your stash first! Need Linen? On 32ct... you'll need 19 x 32. On 28ct ... you'll need 20 x 36. We can provide you those cuts, or 'Fat Half Yards' which measure 27 x 36... giving you enough extra linen for a couple of ornaments, pin cushions or needlecases -- in a matching fabric dye lot. Study the pattern and then decide! | ||||||||
 Portuguese Bird Sampler from Barbara Ana Love, Love the colors in this! *Tell me ye knowing and discerning few, where I may find a friend both firm and true. Who dares stand by me when in deep distress and then his love and friendship most express.* Quite large, the stitch count on this is 275 x 335 -- so it finishes almost 14 x 16 on 40ct, and would be 17 x 21 on 32. I guess you could leave off a band or two, but everything is so pretty on here, I don't know what you'd want to leave off!!! Fun to add Satins on the border acorns... you could always do Rice Stitches for the lettering. Charted for regular stitches with 22 shades of regular DMC floss, on white. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
 The 2020 Santas and Snowmen from Jim Shore Wow! You cleaned us out already! These are already re-ordered and anticipated re-arrival is dec 10. What a delightful collection of paper ornaments these are! Designed by Jim Shore, each is presented as a complete kit of 14ct perforated paper with all the necessary DMC flosses and a few Mill Hill glass beads tossed in for sparkle. They finish about 3-1/2 to 4 inches high. Really no finishing required... we put sticky felt on the backs of ours... then cut them out with cheap scissors (cause the felt is a sticky mess on the blades), and that's it. You could attach a little paper easel on the backs to make them stand-up if you like. Quite a collection of these Santas, snowmen, angels and penquins so far from Jim Shore by Mill Hill! | ||||||||
 One Nation Under God - Liberty from Twin Peak Primitives This is quite the piece by Twin Peaks (all the way from The Netherlands!) Stitched on 36ct (329 x 310), it'll finish approx 18 x 18 - you won't lose THIS on the wall! The pattern refers to Rustico Aida, but also Picture This Plus's Wren color... so those should give you an idea of fabric choices. It is coded for DMC or Weeks hand-dyed flosses - 18 different shades. It's really very pretty, and I especially like the big floral pots up by the words. (Do one of those if you haven't got time to stitch this whole thing!) And we love those billowing flags too! | ||||||||
 Cute Variety by Susanamm Cross Stitch! All of her designs are funky... and generally heavy on the stitch count. They are big, lots of solid worked areas, and they'll use tons of your DMC! Sometimes the charts are intense because they are so much solid stitching... but a lot of needleworkers really like that!
| ||||||||
 New Advice for 2020 from Sticks and Mill Hill! 'Be the person your dog thinks you are.' 'Leave only footprints.' 'Happy Halloween' and 'Wish on a star.' Mill Hill has 4 new designs by the artist Sticks that have been converted to cross stitch. Presented as complete kits of 14ct perforated paper, all the necessary DMC floss and a few Mill Hill glass beads for a little sparkle, these finish a generous 7 inches square. They do have kind of a lot of stitching on them, but WOW - the color impact is fantastic! Great artwork, cheerful designs and colors... we have 20+ designs in this collection so far, and several stitched shop models too! | ||||||||
 MAGnificent Floor and Table LED Magnifying Lamp from Daylight This is a pretty nice lamp! It is designed to work as either a floor lamp (with two different height options), or a table style. It can go from 20 inches high to 50. The daylight-balanced LED lights provide accurate color matching - a must for needlework. The semi-rimless magnifier lens measures almost 6-inches in diameter! Flexible gooseneck arm can reach out to 23 inches. The only cord plugs into the base. There is no cord reaching through the stick of this! Weighs about 6 pounds, white. Very Nice! | ||||||||
How's Your Stitching Lamp These Days?Been burning the midnight bulbs... but need a little more UUMPH? The Mighty Bright Rechargeable Floor Lamp We have a new magnifying lamp... rechargeable... LED... three light levels... totally adjustable head... covered gooseneck arm! It features 2X magnification with a 5X spot lens inside the main lens. Very sleek design, the whole thing weighs 14 lbs... the cord goes up through the stick, so there is no exposed cord if you don't want one! The battery will run the lamp on high for 2-ish hours and up to 7 hours on the low setting. There is also a AC power adapter included so you CAN plug it in. The lights adjust from warm white (closer to incandescent) to bright white (daylight balanced). It's a nice lamp. Bulbs are covered, nothing funny sticking out anywhere - very clean and sleek. We'd ordered them before everything shut down in February - sold them, and couldn't get more right away... but they are here now, and we are thrilled! Might be time for a new light in your stitching area!!! | ||||||||

This is our big, luscious affair we hold every year! 2-1/2 days of classes by our guest designers and two additional days of stitching lounges. Both Teresa Kogut and Blue Flowers' Jeannine McGowan will present lovely class-exclusive projects to us; you will get all the projects from both ladies - both days - during the weekend. Thursday evening we celebrate beginning with Happy Hour, then dinner, with a fun, low-key evening presentation and project by both Teresa and Jeannine. Friday and Saturday are the class days - 9 to 4 - lunches included. Our event seems to start earlier and earlier every year... we now have a wonderful stitching room attached to the shop... so if you come a day or two early, (like Monday or Tuesday!) we have stitching space for you! The official Stitching Event space opens Wednesday noon. Magic By Mona offers two half-day classes - focused on finishing techniques. $55 each, or both for $100. You'll have stitching homework before-hand... but Mona suggests various materials you already have in your stash, so hopefully you need to buy nothing else! The designs' charts as well as the 'ingredients needed' lists for the projects will be sent around March 10th. Her class goal is to help you navigate different finishing treatments, so that you gain confidence to finish your own projects (she always adds: 'in the privacy of your own home! :)'
Registration is open now. Call 888-543-7004. For lots more information on this fabulous weekend, download our full information pdf here. | ||||||||
