 Presenting Just Nan's Merlin the Midnight Owl! Due in the Shop October 9th, Nan has a darling new little owl ornament pattern. She describes Merlin opening his starry eyes at midnight, under a silvery moon. Her newest little guy has a flat seamed bottom with wire feet to help him perch on any flat surface. Worked on 32ct Weeks Tin Roof Linen (stitching is full coverage, so linen will not show) with a combination of DMC and Weeks flosses, there is a bit of silver metallic in here as well. Eyes are sequins with beads, and there is an owl medallion charm on his back. His hat is a tiny purple crystal with silver sequin brim. His chart includes chart, instructions for stitching and finishing, multiple beads and sequins, owl head charmbead, and wire for feet. You'll need a bit of stuffing and a pin to attach his hat. Cute as can be... Nan has Merlin shown on a felt pumpkin she's had in her holiday decorations for years. It does not come with the pattern, so we suggest perching this little guy on those tiny real pumpkins! (Actually we think those small white ones are pretty cool for this.) (If you have been on our Just Nan ornament auto-ship -- you will get this little guy - but it's OK to call and check!) | |||||||

 From Left: Witch Way, Sugar Skull, Halloween is a Treat This Week's Mill Hill shipment of VINTAGE BACKORDERED Kits is Here! Some of these have been on backorder for about a year and a half... so this is your 'Heads-Up' in case you've been looking for them! | |||||||
 Cute 'Washi' Paper Tape - For Stitchers! Here's something totally fun to use where ever you want a touch of stitchy-whimsey! Colored paper tape, we have two different designs - you get one roll of each. The pink tape features different colored hearts of 'x's.' The green tape has scissors, a floss bobbin, needles and a hoop all in a festive little row. Tape is 1/2 an inch wide. I don't know how much is on each spool - I didn't unwind mine to find out! Hard to find the starting end on the roll, just fold over that last 1/4 inch so you'll have a way to pull it out the next time you use it. Just for fun, set of two rolls - one of each pattern. | |||||||
 Thread Minders by Willoughby Ann Here are three new thread boards and drops to help keep your threads organized. Cut from an opalescent mother-of-pearl plastic material, we have two new thread boards with multiple holes to loop your project threads. The smaller swan 'drops' are for individual threads - and that second smaller hole can be used for the extra plies you've already separated from the main strand. Just fun to have! | |||||||

 Paper Santas and Snowmen from Luhu Stitches This is a set of 6 Santa and Snowman faces - each shown on perforated paper. Of course you can choose fabric instead for these - on 14ct they are a generous 3 to 4 inches in size, so on 18ct (there is even 18ct perf paper now!) - you could make them closer to 3 x 3.

Very cute and classic, all the white shows up well on a Christmas Tree!The Santas are shown on red paper, and the snowmen are on blue.

Snowbird What a cute little guy smiling at his bluebird friend! A 5 x 5 cut-away design, stitched with 14 shades of DMC. Choose a pretty blue background for a wintery sky - so he shows up well.

 New Animal Crackers and Merry Autumn Pinkeep from Stacy Nash Designs! Welcome little Nettle, Reynard and Merry Autumn Pinkeep A sweet little cushion by Stacy, this measures 159 x 106 - so finishes a generous 9 x 6 on 18/36ct. Stitched with Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Chestnut, Terrapin, Gunmetal, Carolina Cecil, Kudzu and Pecan, everyone loves houses, pumpkins and vines - especially in Autumny Fall colors!

Nettle Bunny comes with the chart for her HALLOWEEN MASK! See her dressed in her tweed dress... both with and without her costume! Reynard and Clovis were inspired by Stacy's trip to England - so they are kind of like her 'British Invasion' to the Crackers. Reynard is a fox, and Clovis is an English badger. Just the cutest, all of these finish approx the same size - 3 x 6-ish, and are stitched with soft and vintage hand-dyed colors. Each is his or her own chart.

Little Town finishes about 3 x 8 on 18/36, while the ornaments - which are 55 in stitch count will measure about 3 inches each. I love the tan, brown, aqua and mossy colors, I love how simple they are, and how 'retro' in personlity they are. They feel like something my Mom would have decorated with 60 years ago... and something you want to stitch now - for your grandkids! | |||||||

 Three New Designs fromTeresa Kogut
| |||||||
 Here Comes Thankful Tiny Town from Heart in Hand Cecilia writes 'imagine a community where neighbors LIKE living close to the folks next door!' In this little town, the turkeys are treated like nobility and are allowed to roam - they perch on the rooftops and dance in the streets! There is a gentle breeze blowing through the plentiful wheat fields and a sign that proclaims this town is Thankful! Due to arrive in the shop the end of August... this measures 11 x 2 - just like the 11 other little Tiny Towns! The matching Frill design features a woman pushing her cart of turkeys and pumpkins. It's a small piece that is designed to be inserted somewhere in the Tiny Town piece - if you want! Just a small bonus! | |||||||
 Cross Stitch Charts by Flamingo Toes... Here are three charming designs by Flamingo Toes - the same designer who brings us those pretty enameled needle minders! All are presented in chart packs with full color charts - nicely done.
| |||||||
 Three New Tote-Zipper Charms by Flamingo Toes... These are exactly the same metal pieces as our Needle Minders - except that they come with a rotating clasp attachment rather than a magnet. Perfect for a scissor fob, zipper pull, key chain.. anywhere you want to clip something cute! | |||||||
 Three Cute Aviation Ornaments from ModCross Patterns
| |||||||
 Make a Little Magic from The Tiny Moderrnist Another cute medley scene dealing with Halloween by Tiny Modernist, this is coded for DMC floss. It measures only 90 x 120 - so finishes about 5 x 6-1/2 on 18/36. I'm a big advocate for taking things like this and splitting them up into little individual cushions. You get all the cuteness, they look GREAT all tucked into a bowl, and if you put them right next to something else - like the phone charging station, or the candy bowl, or the kitchen island counter - everyone paws through them - and actually notices and ENJOYS them! Presented as a full color small leaflet chart $9.00 | |||||||
 The Newest Arrivals! from Rosewood Manor

| |||||||
 New Releases from The Blue Flower
| |||||||
 Floralies from Jardin Prive I love this cheerful floral garden! Stitched with DMC on any neutral background, it's just colorful and happy. Stitch count is 173 x 173, so it'll finish about 9-1/2 inches on 18/36ct. You COULD finish this into a square pin pillow - fold under the fence pieces to the backside... and you'd get a little 5-inch-ish two-sided cushion! An easy stitch, presented as a chart for $12. | |||||||
 Fall Arrivals from Anabella's - Due in the shop the end of August!
| |||||||
 New Arrivals from Silver Creek Samplers
| |||||||
 So Stinkin' Cute from Dirty Annie's So Stinkin' Cute - This IS! The chart includes all three designs... the single skunk, the loving pair and the cute 16-patch block full of skunks and the flowers they love! | |||||||
 Maple Leaf from Kira Lyns Enjoy this fun Autumn leaf quilt - complete with lounging kitties and a few pumpkins. Coded for DMC floss, it measures 77 x 77 in stitch count - so finishes a petite 4-1/4 inches on 18/36ct. That means, if you split it up and make individual cushions out of the cat on the shelf, the big white pumpkin stack and then the quilt - each of them will be smaller than those 4 inches! Pretty colors, just a bright, simple, cute seasonal piece. Presented as a chart for $8.00 | |||||||
 Halloween Court from Waxing Moon Designs Waxing Moon has a cute seasonal neighborhood scene - Halloween Court. Fun to stitch as-is, because of all the cool fencing surrounding everything, but you could split it up a little and do that bottom left-hand corner with just one house to save time. Coded for hand-dyeds or DMC, it measures 138 x 152 - so finishes approx 10 x 11 on the 14/28ct she used on her model. I think metallics added to pics like this are fun - get those ghosts done in opalescent, the lights in gold, the eyes in black metallic or beads, fuzzy threads on the bats, owls, spider... actually black metallic on the wrought iron fence might be dramatic as well! Presented as a chart $12.00 | |||||||
 New Stitches by Ethel - Coming the end of August!
| |||||||

| |||||||
 Save the Earth! from PuntiniPuntini It's the only planet with DOGS, CATS and CHOCOLATE! Puntini has three separate charts out... choose the one you want to promote!

 Halloween Cat By Twin Peak Primitives, this little cutie caught my eye this week! He's only 57 x 71 (3 x 4 on 18/36 ct) and is worked with regular DMC. It's kind of hard to see the detail in the pic, but the background is solid stitching of 3053 with a meandering vine of 3828. Presented as a large chart - printed both black and white, and color. $6.00 | |||||||
 Faith, Hope & Love from Summer House Stitche Workes This is a trio of individual charts - each done in the same color palette of DMC 823, 831 and 926. Worked on 40ct, they measure just 4-1/2 x 6. Inspired by antique woven coverlets, just lovely! | |||||||

 Coming Soon from Primrose Cottage
| |||||||
 American Primitive #8 from Prairie Schooler Wow... this is a blast from the past... Prairie Schooler's book #8 was originally designed and published in 1985! So... true test of a good design... does this LOOK 40 years old and outdated? It does NOT! Regular 'ol DMC... choose a fabric you like - the elephant and donkey measure only about 40 x 50 - so perfect pin cushion sizes! Just re-printed in time for the elections! | |||||||
 Announcing AYA Extra-Thin-Tip by Dovo!  The people at DOVO have listened to us and finally agreed to manufacture a limited run of our past-favorite Extra-Thin-Tip Hardanger Scissors! (These are our original Pauline Scissors from our Anniversary Collection.) They liked my idea of naming scissors vs describing them with numbers - so meet Aya! 3-1/2 Inches, the brushed stainless steel finish looks like Pewter. Each scissor comes with a black leather protective sheath. They promise shipment of these for late September... so we are taking RESERVATIONS now! | |||||||

 Stoney Creek has a new 2024 Stocking! Dreaming of St Nick is a new stocking design by the Stoney Creek designers. It's the first one on the left... the next three in the picture above are charts we also carry in the shop. Always lots of design detail and backstitching for accent. Dreaming of St Nick is in a leaflet with the other two pics featured on the cover! Coded for DMC (like 50 of them) and a few metallics, it'll finish a generous 11 x 17 on 14/28ct. (A decent Santa-size!) Not a lot of backstitch... even though this is quite an involved design... we think it's more 'Do-Able' than a lot of others! | |||||||

I'm not sure where you'd hang them, but they might look really cute finished as rounded stand-ups stuffed with walnut shells, so they'd be heavy little fabric bottles on the counter! | |||||||
 My Home Sweet Home from Sweet Wing Studio That big 'ol flag billowing over the little house... whoever lives there has a green thumb! Stitched with a combo of DMC and hand-dyeds, this finishes a little over 5 x 7 on 32. I think this would make a really cute door stop block! Presented as a chart - just $10.00 | |||||||

 Shuts a Door, Complete Sentence, Delightful, and Underestimate Me by Mary Engelbreit from Imaginating Here's a new 'Advice-for-Life- piece based on the artwork of Mary Engelbreit - adapted to Cross Stitch by Imaginating. Choose a black or chalkboard fabric that you can SEE to stitch on. Grab a skein of white floss, and some black for the backstitching, and get to work! This finishes about 7 x 9 on 14ct - and I can think of several places I think it would hang perfectly! Presented as a single leaflet. We have a few other designs just like this one... none of them need too many words to get their messages across! Enjoy! | |||||||

 Jolly Snowman, Santa Baby and Lady Claus from Sew Emma Jolly Snowman is new and joins Santa Baby and Mrs Claus!

Presenting Madame Butterfly Mouse on a Tin from Just NanNan's last little mouse perched on her tin house will be here by the end of April! Madame is ready for the sunny flower-filled days of summer. She is wearing a gown of gorgeous butterflies and pretty pink rose stitches accented with sky blue and golden bronze beads. Her blue flower hat is pinned in place with three blue beads, so she's ready for a sudden gust of wind! Her tin perch is decorated with rings of blue and bronze butterflies set against a dramatic black background, and Nan has added blue scalloped trim along the edge. Inside Madame's tiny tin, you'll be able to tuck your tiny frayed-edge needlebook. It is decorated with butterfly stitches, an antique brass butterfly charm, and sparkling blue crystal. Both the mouse and book are stitched on Week's Dye Work's 32ct Linen color of hand-dyed linen using DMC floss from your stash. Included with the leaflet are all the stitching and finishing instructions, beads, flower hat, butterfly charm, needlebook felt, decorated metal tin, gold tail and Nan's signature button base with magnet. All you'll need is a tiny bit of fusible interfacing for the book and mouse. Too darn cute, Madame Butterfly is the final Mouse on a Tin. The Peacock and Bee Mice are sold out... but we still have Little Lady in Red Ladybug Mouse! | |||||||

 From Left: Apple Trio, Splat Witch, To Go, Lizzy, Witch's Cauldron, Honey Autumn Harvest Collection from Mill Hill The little guys, these finish about 3 x 3 each. Fun as magnets, in the olden days we wore them as pins! Mostly though, they make cute ornaments for Halloween trees and especially Christmas trees. Even though the coffee cup isn't Christmassy - it's a perfect ornament for a coffee-a-holic! Even though the skeleton isn't Christmassy - I bet you know of a little dinosaur-lover who'd love that as an ornament this year! This season we have colorful apples, a witch who must have flown into a wall!, the ever-present daily coffee cup, and a glorious honey bee. Both the scary skeleton and bubbling cauldron feature glow-in-the-dark beads! Always cute, the complete kits include the 14ct perf paper, magnet for the back, beads, needles, chart, and some sort of Mill Hill glass or crystal Treasure as well! | |||||||

 M Satterwaite 1807 Quaker Sampler and Mousepad from Shakespeare's Peddler's Theresa Venette! This is a stunning Quaker sampler originally stitched in 1807. Done entirely in black, it's really very striking and elegant. It measures 268 x 283, so finishes a huge 13 x 14 on 40ct! Theresa says her model stitcher stitched it in 13 days! Well, we have the old and the new - Theresa took the sampler artwork and put it on a mousepad! A standard 7-1/2 x 9, it's the good micro-fiber surface with black padded non-scoot backing. I'm pretty sure M Satterwaite had a different idea in mind when she thought of mice! | |||||||

 A trio of really nice, smooth, sharp little embroidery scissors... they are presented by Sajou, feature a cool ribbon 'label' (can be removed by cutting), and come packaged in a pretty cardboard scissor sleeve (asst prints.) The scissors themselves are very nice - they feel really good, have nice sharp tips, and are well balanced. We have three styles - *A* is classic 4-inch size. *B* is the same style as A but only 3-1/2 inches long. *C* is another 3-1/2 inch style with a different curve on the handles. All three will make great every day scissors. (NOT for cutting yarns or heavy cords or thick threads... these are meant for sewing thread and 6-strand floss. If you cut something too heavy for any of your scissors, you wear the screw that holds the blades together - you 'strip it' - and it causes the scissors to permanently loosen!) Note! We also have several new enameled novelty scissors on our #2 Scissor page. | |||||||
 'Stitched' Twill Tape Trim We found some distressed and vintage-looking twill tape trim that looks like it's 'decorated' with stitches. Everyone is using such cute trims on sewing bags and pouches, pin cushions, and always quilts... this just looks like it belongs with Cross Stitch! A coffee-beige background, the twill color is either black, navy blue or burgundy. Our hanks are 5-yards long. We've heard a cute idea: just take some of this and wind it around an antique spool - and you have in instant cool decoration for a basket of pin cushions or a shelf beside a sampler! | |||||||
 Don't Touch Scissor Spool by The Nebby Needle Here's a stitched decoration for one of these spools! We love the rules... TOUCH, MOVE or BORROW... can't you just hear the excuses when your scissors are gone? 'I just borrowed them... or oh, I only moved them'... just makes you want to tear your hair out! Just do the quick stitching, fold under your top and bottom, wrap around the spool, and pin or tack the seam closed! You can even wrap some of that twill tape trim along the top and bottom in place of the stitched border! The picture on the chart cover is not the best... you'll just have to use your imagination a little! | |||||||

 Heirloom, Majestic, Exquisite and Elegant Lace... and 324 from Works by ABC This is a gorgeous set of designs - all stitched with white or creme floss on any dark fabric - Aida or linen. My mom had a lace table cloth on the dining room table that looked like these, so I couldn't resist these charts! Worked in whole crosses, you get that lighter look by doing just one leg of the cross, or one less strand of thread. The charts tell you how many thousands of stitches are in these to help with thread figuring, but then reminds you that you CAN take out a small motif from inside the lace somewhere and stitch just a small pin cushion! Truly exquisite, elegant and majestic like their name implies... choose any fabric you like as your background color. They are quite large, so kind of a 'stitching investment', but if you like them, TOTALLY worth it! Heirloom finishes 14 x 16 on 18/36. Majestic is 19 x 19 on 36! Elegant is 7 x 7 over one on 25ct but 9-1/2 on 36ct. Exquisite is 11-1/2 x 18-1/2 on 36. 324 - This is cool... it uses 324 different shades of DMC floss! Absolutely every single motif and square on here is stitched with a different color of floss. BUTTTT if you aren't a 324-color-stitcher - it HAS been re-charted for just 36 colors as well. Easy to work from, the entire chart is one symbol, but there is a diagram of which colors go where. Inspired by an old piece of lace that featured thousands of tiny stitches and motifs, this finishes only about 11 x 11 on 36ct - so it is a delightful burst of busy color. Although the colors are intoxicating to me... you could split this all up and make a whole set of smaller square cushions following the color combinations you like best. Really a neat design idea. | |||||||
 Sterling Needle Minders, Ort Jars and Needle Jars Michelle Ink has made us more of our exclusive sterling needle minders that our A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle Stitchers received a few years ago. She designed this gorgeous threaded needle nestled among swirly stitches just for The Silver Needle. Her silver comes from recycled electronic discards! Referred to as precious metals clay... they reclaim the sterling in old computer parts, and somehow get it into a clay medium. Michelle, then molds it, fires it (the clay burns off and we are left with the beautiful silver that was being thrown away!), tumbles it, antiques it, and then makes her pieces into our needle minders, and medallions on tiny jars. You can see the quarter I put in the pic - for size reference - and I can guarantee you there is more silver in Michelle's pieces than that quarter! Gorgeous hand-made minders and elegant jars to love, USE and enjoy! Michelle is coming to The Silver Needle April 26th and 27th - she is teaching in our She Shed with the Fern Ridge Girls! We have 3 Spaces left in class... you'll be making beaded needlecases and fobs, and molding your Michelle Ink Sterling Silver medallion for the top of your needlecase box! | |||||||

 Odds & Ends Basket by Thistles This is a really cool open-topped box, that sports needlework all around the edges and lining the inside bottom. Super cute, it's simply one of those brown paper mache boxes from Hobby Lobby, covered with all sorts of cute needlework and sewing motifs. The design that wraps all around measures 68 x 389 in stitch count... so it's 4 x 22 on 36ct! It would be cute finished flat if the box thing scares you. The inside bottom liner is about 95 stitches in diameter. Liezbeth has this charted for Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC, it's just the most charming project! I took several pictures all around the box to show you all the cuteness on it. Thistles has several other new designs this season... click through the pics to see them all. | |||||||
 Several Fun Things from Praiseworthy Stitches
| |||||||
 Lady Dot's New Vintaged Metallic Baby Tinsel Trim and Charming Tomato Pincushions This is the COOLEST stuff! It is a metallic and cotton mix, but basically miniature, soft, sparkly tinsel! Use it on miniature trees, or to trim ornaments. The red doesn't 'look' overdyed in any way, but it is a gorgeous deep, true, perfect red for anything 4th of July or Christmas - its package contains a 3-yard length. The silver, however has been 'slightly altered' here and there in its lengths, so my package has some areas that are 'tarnished' to look like it came from your Grandma's ornament stash. Parts are clear, shiny, festive silver, and then there is a bit here and there with 'patina.' Just gorgeous, and such a fun way to add personality to your finished pieces! The Silver has two 3-yard lengths in its package. Lois made the cutest little spool tomatoes! Two different options on these, what a pretty gift to present to a stitcher... something colorful and fun to perch on a shelf of stitchery, or just something cute to set on your desk at work to remind you of what stitching bliss awaits you at home after work! The smaller spool - Cherry Tomato, on the left, measures 2-1/2 inches high. A little fabric wound around the spool with that tiny 1-1/2 inch tomato perched on top! A green flower pin and a few more white headed pins finish the look. The larger spool - Garden Fresh - stands 4 inches high, and features that larger spool covered in fabric again. A felt ball is ready for your pins, but it already has a pretty trio of frosted flower pins! Just a touch of color for anywhere you want it! | |||||||
 SPOOLS, Lone Eagle Sampler and Paper Heart Basket from Needlework Press Three fun things are coming home from Market with us from Needlework Press!
| |||||||
 Make this pretty Stitcher's Mat from Under the Garden Moon We have a model of this fun little mat in the shop - and you will fall in love with it when you see it! The cross stitch is on 10ct Tula or 20ct linen - over two. You can change the colors in the cross stitch to coordinate with your chosen fabrics and wools. They have a pic in here of 4 other colorways to give you a really good idea of what you can do. Finishes about 12 x 18 - what a fun thing to take to a retreat to spread out on your stitching area. Needle pages, a scissor pocket, a place for a pad of paper and pencil... all kinds of stuff. I am a non-sewer - and my brain freezes over when I read finishing instructions. I think the more pages, the harder it is... there are three full pages of that in here - so I am thinking that's a good thing! Offered in chart format with those instructions! You sew-ers will take one look at this and go, 'Oh Ok, I got it! What did they do with this pocket here? (you peek in there) Oh yeah, I got it!' | |||||||
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! | |||||||
 It's Raining Cats and Dogs - Laurel Burch Style! Mill Hill has sent 4 new smallish perf paper kits (they're only $10 each!) featuring the artwork of Laurel Burch. Finishing only 3 x 5, they are FINISHABLE and not too big! Complete kits of the chart, Flosses, needles and a few Mill Hill glass seed beads, these are colorful, cheerful, and just plain fun to stitch and have! Laurel Burch's iconic personality oozes from each of them! | |||||||
Forget-Me-Not Pinkeepfrom Scattered Seed Samplers A sweet new arrival from Scattered Seed Samplers this is done on 36ct Country Vintage Mocha linen in regular DMC! Measuring just 4-1/2 x 6, you could easily adorn it with some Lady Dot chenille trim - something matching just about any of the colors in here would work great! It uses 611, 930, 3012, 3046, 3782, and 3866. That's it... and how pretty! | |||||||

They are 3/8 of an inch thick, and love no extra finish or paint - just not a stain treatment. Varied sized and styles... everyone is using those super-strong magnets to attach finished needlework - one magnet on the back of your work, the other on the back of the board.

It's Market Cookbook Season! 2024 Happiness is Homemade Every year, (This is the 5th annual) industry designers, distributors, and shops who attend Market all contribute favorite recipes for our annual Market Cookbook. Along with food, comes stitching - so several designers contribute free charts as well. Lots of fun things every year... the charts are always good, and I think it's fun to have actual Italian recipes right from the Italian designers! 75 to 100 recipes and pages... taking reservations now for shipment when we get home from the show the first week in March. Here is Val's Stuff's FREEBIE DESIGN included in this year's cookbook. What a fun Sneak Peek! (Val will be coming out with a companion design to this one at Market - watch for those details on the Market Page!) | |||||||
 Presenting Pony Black Needles! *Hypoallergenic Blacks* and *Colored Eye Tapestry* You Need these Needles! A new line for us in the shop - we're excited for the selection and the features they offer. Each package contains 6 needles. Hypoallergenic White Eye - This is a collection of BLACK STEEL needles. They do not have nickel plating on them. (Shiny needles have a nickel plating that can be an allergen - that is one reason shiny needles tarnish.) These are awesome because they feature a narrow shaft with that high contrast white eye - against the black - for easy threading. The black needle gives you a tip that is easier to see when you're aiming for your stitching hole, too! We have several sizes and types: Tapestry - Regular Cross Stitch Needles in #24, 26 and 28 and an assorted package of 2-18, 2-20, 1-22 and 1-26. Check out those gorgeous-easy-to-see-eyes! Ball Point - This is an assorted-sized package - smaller white eye, sharp tip - but with that micro-ball tip. Chenille - An assorted-sized package of sharp needles with large eyes, these are used for wool applique embroidery -- we also use them for our embroidered tea towels. These follow the same size that tapestry needles do... they are simply sharp rather than dull like a Tapestry. 
Pony Colored Eye Tapestry Needles - Love these too! These are nickel-plated steel needles - with colored eyes! You can tell by looking at them what size your needle is! The #24's have a black eye - which is actually very easy to see. The #26 has a teal eye, and the teeny-weeny #28's have a red eye! We have these in an assortment pack of 2 each #24, 26 and 28, and single-size packs of 6 needles each as well. (#28's have 5 in the pack vs 6.) Look at the size difference of the Red Eye #28 needle! It is next to a John James #28 gold tapestry needle! It is definitely smaller! | |||||||
 Better Together Tea Towels from Bareroots Barri has a new pair of kitchen dish towels to embroider - perfect to hang in a happy home! These cotton towels come with a traceable line pattern to transfer to the ready-made towels. Use the included floss... making little short straight stitches... then tack on the included bottom rik rak trim... and you've made darling kitchen towels! You don't have to be newlyweds to appreciate this... but it does make a great shower gift. We have 18 other Tea Towel kits here in the shop. All are available individually, but this pair comes together as a set, at a little lower price point as a bonus. So darn cute! Our new shipment is on the way - we expect these right before Christmas. | |||||||
 A Late Pony Needle Arrival - Hypo-allergenic Black Eye #28 Tapestry Needles! This little package of needles belongs in our collection of hypo-allergenic stainless needles by Pony. We're 'storing them' on our Needles page, in the same description line as our other black needles - with white eyes - but these are all black! These are really fun... and because they are black you can see where your needle point is! We like the white-eye versions because they are easy to thread, but honestly, these aren't hard either - because you can see the light through the eye! Something new and unique - just don't confuse yours with black kitty hair on the couch! A lovely petite size too! Scroll down just a bit, or click through to our Needles page, to see lots of other new Pony Needles. | |||||||
New Pony BEADING Needles Another new black hypo-allergenic Pony Needle, these are size 10 (only much longer than the normal ones) for beads. Super thin, they are all black, and actually, I can SEE their eye to thread! I can't see the eye on regular steel needles because they reflect the light. So, another fun new needle to try... 5 in the package. See what you think! They are pretty easy to hold as they are a complete 2 inches long. | |||||||
 The 2024 Needle Travel Mania Guide This is an awesome little 540 page book (5-1/2 x 8 x 1, it weighs a pound!) that is an incredible directory of needlework, quilting, weaving, knitting and needlepoint shops all around the country! If you ever go anywhere in a car, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Organized by state, each state is mapped with interstate and state highways. The shops are all numbered on the maps... then the directory offers varied information about each. Addresses, hours, kind of product mix, phone numbers, websites... just great info to help you plan the stops on your next road trip adventure! They even have software that will plan your route for you and include the types of shops you 'need' to visit! Really a fun book to have -- and a super-fun stocking stuffer or neat stitch group gift! | |||||||
 Smart Punch Needles We have a new Punch Needle option! They describe their little gems with lots of important details: Smart punch is ergonomically designed with a larger handle to reduce the risk of tendonitis, pain of arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Designed for comfortable punching, you will also enjoy the thumb indentation on the front of the punch needle that lines up perfectly with the front, beveled edge, of your needle, always keeping it in the proper punching position. With five different loop heights that can be easily adjusted you will find yourself creating beautiful punch needle projects in no time at all. Smart Punch comes with the most commonly used medium size needle, needle threader and even an extra needle. You will be able to put 2 strands of 8 or 12 wt Pearl Cotton through this needle or 4-6 strands of floss. The needle comes with a punch needle lesson and great tips and hints along with some Do's and Don'ts! | |||||||
