Previews of the Winter Jeannette Douglas Releases Shipping November 10 to us. Our Auto-Ships will go out late Nov, as shipping from Canada takes a bit to arrive here.� Jeannette has been busy! Winter in the Garden is stunning! The third corner of this exquisite, involved garden features deer, evergreens, cardinals and winter greenery. We are offering the leaflet with the silk packets, so they will match the other 3 parts of the piece. (We do have an auto-ship for this series... and you can still join!) Happy Christmas - This is a small pin-cushion-sized piece worked with hand-dyed cottons. Measures about 4-1/2 inches when finished, small chart. Winter Alphabet Garden - The third season in this set... Jeannette had finished these into drum-shaped cushions, but then thought a framed presentation would be grand... so now you have finishing options! Spring will be the last installment still to come. Full sized chart - we have an auto-ship for these too. Floral Alphabets NOP and QRST - These are stunning little 4 x 4 samplers full of borders and flowers. We have seen a stitcher working on this over one on banding... just stunning! You can stitch just one of the series, leave off the alphabet letters if you want... join them in a row... be creative! Auto on this set of charts, too!. Monthly Christmas Dots - October, November and December Christmas Dot cards finish off this 12-card set. We finally have a picture of all 25 Dots stitched together and framed - kind of puts the whole set into perspective... and gives you a better idea of their design and color details. Each Dot reminds me of a Girl Scout badge!
20 Haunted Windows Pentagon Ball... Limited Edition from Just Nan Once again, Nan has really outdone herself! Nan's 20 Haunted Windows Pentagon Ball is a counted thread artwork ball inspired by an antique. Every turn of the ball reveals a pentagon shape. Twenty triangular haunted windows outlined in gothic black form the ball. The windows feature 4 Jacks, 4 Ghosts, 4 Spiders, 4 Skells plus a Black Cat, Witch, Mummy and Monster. The 20 windows are stitched on 5 pieces of 32 CT Weeks Peoria Purple linen using DMC floss. There are 4 window graphs for each piece of linen. The windows are accented with sparkling beads and a striped pumpkin bead in each corner. Complete assembly instructions and photos are included. (Stitching on 5 pieces is easier than stitching all 20 triangles on one piece of linen.) When assembled, each center point of a pentagon is highlighted with an embossed orange sequin and black bead. There are 12 centers. For a final touch, Nan provided a satin ghost and satin bat embellishment to pin in place wherever it suits you. This is sure to be a treasured heirloom.

Here is everything we are not supposed to eat! 16 tiny deserts and treats, stitch them as the whole medley, or select just your favorites and stitch those. Coded for DMC, each confection measures about 30 to 50 stitches. You could make individual stand-ups, you could stitch a couple on perforated paper for Christmas Tree ornaments. They aren't identified as to what they are... but I do recognize that donut with sprinkles! Puppies - Aren't these little guys cute? Each puppy - all four are included in the chart - is only 66 stitches in size, and worked in just DMC 3799. Stitched them individually or together - they companion Artmiska's kittens. Quilt Sampler - This is a pretty piece - using just 9 colors of DMC floss. Measuring 210 x 210, each block is only 40 x 40, and they'd make a spectcular filled bowl of cushions if you did them individually. Lovely colors the way it is, but easy to change if you want. Christmas Baubles - All three designs are included in this chart - each is done with a single hand-dyed color on really any fabric you want as well. They measure 72 x 87... but you could make them smaller by leaving off the bows. Sweet and restful little scenes.

A Stitcher's Garden from The Drawn Thread Exclusively for the Silver Needle By Cynthia Zittel, this is a busy design full of color and special stitches just like all her seasonal gardens. Joining Sunnyside, Kitchen, Herb and Butterfly Gardens, and the 4 Seasons set, this features everything special to its subject. She came as our Summer Event Designer a couple of years ago and this sampler and little linen tote was our project. Then, she did a companion pin cushion for our 'A Little Help From Our Friends' Stitching Circle last year to go with it. Measuring 169 X 50 on 32ct Natural, it finishes just 10 x 3 but it's stuffed FULL of fun, specialty stitches that Cynthia loves so much. The 'flowers' in your garden are buttons, and thread spools, little floss skeins, and scissors.
Presenting Country Cottage Needlework's Christmas Market We have a new series from Nikki that promises to be absolutely charming! Our first design is the title/banner scene for the 11-part little outdoor Holiday market. It is available now, so you can get started. Subsequent charts release monthly (we think they're all going to run $7.00 each.) till September 2026. Each small design measures 55 x 59, but the entire piece (kind of shown in the composite teaser pic) measures 223 x 179. Choose your fabric count, then color. This is on Beautiful Beige, but we think Natural will showcase your white snow much better. On 32ct, it will measure about 14 x 11, so a fat quarter of linen will do nicely. You'll need to purchase threads all at one time, as you'll need multiple skeins of some: Classic Colorworks Bamboo (7), Wagon Wheel (4), Caroling (2), Mistletoe (2), Little Sprout (2), Hazelnut (2), Cherry Tomato (1), Queen Bee (1), Caterpillar (1), and Tea and Bisquits (1). We love the fact that each stand is going to be different from the others... it looks like there will be some quaint details in here - can't wait! Join our auto-ship to collect all the charts as they release!

Captain Patchy Pelican, Stars, Stripes and MooLinda from Quaint Rose Quaint Rose has been busy designing for the summer season. We have 6 new arrivals... three are shown here, with the rest on her inside pages. Captain Patchy Pelican is just the cutest!

In the August example, the 8 refers to the 8th month, and the 31 refers to 31 days in the month. We don't have all the months yet... but I kind of like the idea of turning this into a perpetual calendar. You're getting all the months with really cute motifs appropriate to each... and you're getting all the numbers... see what you can come up with! Anyway, each month is presented in its own chart, and we have only May, June, July and August so far. I don't know her release schedule ...so an auto-ship might be easiest to help keep up with the remaining 8 of these in the set!

Whatever is Lovely from Artful Offerings 'Dwell on these things.' By Artful Offerings, Karina writes, 'A majestic crown centered atop a beautiful leafy wreath, features two darling robins exchanging hearts and flowers. Additional hearts and flowers, arranged into a grand bouquet, fill the roof-top urn on a small prim house. Cursive and uppercase fonts are used to spell out part of a cherished phrase and four small golden-hued designs are sprinkled throughout the dappled linen background.' This is done with Gentle Art Sampler Threads, but converted to DMC as another option. Measuring 203 x 188, it finishes about 12 x 11 on 36ct country Vintage Mocha linen. Presented as a chart.

As you can see, you can choose whatever fabric you like best... and then choose a single color of any hand-dyed you like for your bauble. Peace, Noel and Hope are darker thread on light background, Love is the reverse... you can do it in a deep red thread against a white background. Really pretty, it's a nice set of desings.
Sampler Musings and A Sampler Garden, SN Exclusives from Rosewood Manor Rosewood Manor's Karen Kluba came for a class last Fall, and here are the two samplers our groups designed. She gave us motif options and color schemes... the stitchers chose and she got busy with her software. Sampler Musings measures 210 x 200; Garden is a little larger at 230 x 260. Everybody chose different fabrics... and now with the new 36ct Lugana, you could make some of the motifs into teeny cushions!
The Nutcracker Collection from Shannon Christine Designs Gosh, we needed this chart a couple of months ago! A gorgeous collection of 12 nutcrackers - we counted 6 different sizes - a pair of each. The colors are beautiful, and because you have so many different color options between the 12... you have ready-made conversions for all of them. Stitch count for the main piece is 171 x 200, Crackers are coded for DMC with metallic touches. The tallest is 90, the smallest is just 40 stitches. Re-arrange them however you want... but they are cool just the way they are presented too.
Presenting Bonus House #13:�The Tudor House from Cottage Garden Samplings As promised, here is the sneak peek of Vinniey's last house in her Fabulous House series of designs. Due in the shop around December 10th, this is the same size and format as the other houses in the series. If you are doing the 12-piece series... we think this is a great 'Do-Over' option to use as a substitute if there was another house you didn't like as well! We will be shipping this house to our auto-ship stitchers - so they have the whole set. Let us know if you need one!
To All a Good Night from Liz Mathews Here's a neat piece stitched on Oatmeal fabric... it measures about 6 x 6 on 18/36ct. Coded for DMC or Weeks hand-dyeds, we like everything about this. But... you could split it apart and stitch it into a long row and finish into a drum shape. You could change the neat plaid in the hillside into white and gray colors to make a patterned snow... or leave it alone and keep it just this charming! Presented as a chart.
Six New Ornament Designs from KiraLyns Needlearts Such a cute collection of designs - the rounds are all 57 x 57 in stitch count, while the square nutcrackers are 77. DMC floss, just perfect designs done on any count you like best!
Seas & Greetings from Ink Circles Ink Circles has a cute new design - super different than every other Christmas design out there! Seas features Santa and his elves delivering Christmas via sailing ships. They look like pirates! There are angels in the sky bringing wreaths... fish in the sea wrapped like presents, narwols in the water with more wreaths... and that lavish border of anchors at the 'bottom of the sea.' It's really creative, colorful and truly FUN. Choose a blue-green hand-dyed fabric to look like water, and choose the Classic Colorworks hand-dyeds it is coded for. It measures 189 x 127 - so finishes approx 12 x 8 on 32ct. Super cool and full of personality... full-sized chart.
Cozy Winter Sampler from Artful Offerings Oh this is a gorgeous piece! Karina writes that it evokes the charm and warmth of a cozy winter sweater. She has a tiny forest of evergreens, stylized flowers and a mixed border pattern. Presented as a chart, it measures 10 x 10 on 36ct Country Vintage Mocha linen, and is worked with DMC floss. I love those quilt stars and the lines of those trees! AND... you COULD stitch just one cardinal, on its half of the tree, with just 9 of those quilt stars behind him - and you'd have a darling pin cushion!
New Snowmen are Here from Val's Stuff Dear Santa is Val's first stocking design! The chart includes all three design options for finishing, in case you don't need that stocking arrangement. Along with the chart, you get three buttons for his tummy, wool felt for his holly hat leaves, freezer paper for that tracing, and the hanger cord. Stitch it on any fabric you like - coded for DMC. If you choose the stocking and use larger fabric - try #5 Pearl Cotton. (The letters are available separately by special order... but you could stitch those too... and save about $3 a letter!) We have white Fuzzy Stuff for the snowman, and black Very Velvet for the hat... in case you want to get fancy! Once Upon a Snowman - A cute ornament kit - it includes 14ct perf paper, wool backing felt, the cute striped ribbon and jingle bell. You supply the DMC from your stash. The Giving Season - This ornament design is done on 14ct perf paper, which is included. You also get the wool backing felt, bluebird JABCO button, and metallic thread for the stars. Stitched with DMC from your stash, Val has used Weeks Dye Works Bethlehem hand-dyed floss for the scarf... quite the medley of color. (See what you have in your stash... just something with some fun colors is good!)
Three Cute Aviation Ornaments from ModCross Patterns Ready for Takeoff and Ready for Landing - Aren't these cute? Rudolph is ready to fly through a starry night in classic aviator fashion! He's on navy fabric (we have several different counts), and stitched with 9 DMC shades and a bit of glossy rayon thread. Every pilot needs a ground crew, so his little bear friend is holding the light wands and wearing his safety vest... ready to guide the flight perfectly! Again DMC floss. The chart description mentions Etoile thread - we don't have that - but I think Rainbow Gallery's Petite Treasure Braid would fit the bill to add the needed glitz. Each comes in their own separate chart and a DEFINITE for the airplane lover in your life! Spooky Skyline - Ghosts and bats join a dapper black cat in a late night hot air balloon ride through the city! Measuring 82 x 118, it finishes approx 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 on 18/36ct. DMC flosses, choose a pretty sky color background.

All her designs are charted using DMC and Week's Dye Works flosses. Snowday - What a cute design! The 'quilty' snowflakes floating in the background, that bright green billowing scarf, the loaded sled - but most of all that little bunny - all make this whimsical. Stitch count of 100 x 105 - it finishes approx 6 x 6 on 18/36. Vintage Ornaments Set One - A cute little deer with red boots, and a quiet church... each measures just 45 x 45 in stitch count.

Choose to add surname or first names if you want... these measure 151 x 148.

Therapy - Cute machine, scissors, the spools, the mini stitching in the frame... the whole thing measures just 107 x 41 - 7 x 2! A Perfect Cushion! Pin Keeper - More in this set of designs - you could do JUST the tomato! Oh Sew happy - Well, this covers everything 'Sewey!' The quilts, spools, machine, rotary and bolts of fabric. Measures 149 x 199... Same cute colors as the rest!
New Animal Crackers Blizzard and Millie from Stacy Nash Designs! The next two Animal Crackers by Stacy Nash are here. (We HAVE these two, the other new charts are elusive right now!) Blizzard, we think, is an Arctic Fox. His fabric is on the lighter end - you may want to darken it up a little so you see his legs and sweater a little better. His matching needlecase features his cup of steaming cocoa and gingerbread cupcake. Stitched with only 7 shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses. Millie is a party girl elephant! She measures 5 x 4-1/2 on 36ct... and she's done with 6 shades of Weeks hand-dyeds. Her party hat matches her blanket - which is done in Broom Tree floss. You can always change that color to coordinate with whatever fun things you want to tie to her back!
It's Raining Cats and Dogs - Laurel Burch Style! Mill Hill has sent 4 new smallish perf paper kits (they're only $12 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!
Lots of New Designs and Pins from PuntiniPuntini and Romy's Creations Grow Your Own Way - by Puntini and Rony's Creations - Oh my gosh, this is the cutest design! Presented in two charts - Romy designed the hedgehog and squirrel, while Paola did the fox, racoon. We are offering both parts TOGETHER. The total stitch count is approx 55 x 180, so it'll finish about 3 x 11 on an 18/36ct. I don't know for sure, but I suspect they are charted for DMC floss. I just love it! Paola makes darling hand-made clay pins... we have her Fall 2024 Limited Edition pins for a short while - they'd look great poked into this cushion! This set includes an owl, 4 squashes and pumpkins, a crow and darling little fox. Winter Animals Trio 2024 - This chart features all three animals. Choose a soft fray background - that way the whites will show up well. Each measures 66 in stitch count - so less than 4 inches in size. When I Think of Chocolate - Another fun medley of something yummy! Chocolate is celebrated with grand style here... and by all means, dress it up with the matching pin set! Paola has made a tiny chocolate chip cookie, a candy bar and a teeny chocolate covered donut! Halloween Biscornu Trio 2024 and Halloween Creatures Pin Set - 6 Sides of little scary scenes... bats, cats, skulls and spiders, each side measures just 67 stitches - so these will finish under 4 inches each on 18/36ct. The included pin set features a black cat, bat and black crow. Christmas Biscornu Trio 2024 - 6 Sides of peppermints, evergreens, reindeer, gingerbread men and cardinals... these are 67 in stitch count as well. We have loads of Paola's cute clay to garnish these as well. Too Many Buttons - NO Such thing as too many buttons! Might be fun to garnish this 84 x 63 piece with some from your button box, and use Paola's trio pin set of clay buttons too!
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! All three are worked on Weeks Tin Roof linen - but Paola says lots of fabrics will do nicely, and they are all coded for DMC floss. Cute as can be - three separate charts are $10.00 each.
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.
A Trio of Paper Vegetables from Luhu Stitches Aren't these cute? A perky pumpkin, colorful mushroom and plump acorn, these three 55 x 50-ish each in size. Worked on 14ct perforated paper, they are presented as single card charts so you can put them on anything you want. Actually, I think you could do the paper and mount them all in a row on a brick or block and make a door stop, candy bowl or pumpkin pokes might be cute too!
The High Seas Series from Faby Reilly High Seas Anchored in the Sand - We have carried this gorgeous line of patterns in the shop for some time - High Seas Biscornu and High Seas Band. The waves are gorgeous, the birds and design details are charming. NEW is the High Seas Heart design! Same basic motifs but in a different shape. The Biscornu, Band and Heart are all offered in separate charts, so choose only one or all! High Seas Band - You might recognize this design -- part of it appears on Faby Reilly's High Seas Biscornu! A gorgeous flurry of rolling waves... this is an exciting band of turbulent waves, some happy little fish, a challenged sailboat (!) and the ever-stalwart Light House! Can you see the tone-on-tone nautical symbols in the background? This would be pretty made into a long sausage-shaped pillow to display on a beach house window sill... or bands on a guest towel... or a pillow on the guest room bed! Charted for DMC... you can almost HEAR the crashing waves! High Seas Biscornu Swirling waves surrounding a tiny sailboat, this is such a pretty piece. The shape of the cushion just adds to the movement of the rolling waves. Stitched on 32ct antique white Belfast linen in a dozen shades of DMC floss, the stitch count is only 60 x 60. Offered as a chart.
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
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.
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.
Elephants & Bees Kit from Olde Colonial Designs Olde Colonial designed this cute little bolster case, complete with little wooden elephant thread board. Originally released in 2010, it has been out of print and production since then. Butttt, now we have a few kits - Pam revised it all in 2023. Instructions are included to finish the 61 x 93 sampler - it features mama and baby elephants in one area, bees and a skep in another area, and your initials and alphabet in the third area. Finish it as a flat folding case or the fun little round. The kit contains the chart, finishing instructions, interfacing, finishing fabric, 32ct Country Vintage Mocha Belfast linen, DMC floss, the elephant board, a tiny bee charm and some snaps.
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. 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!
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!'
Millie Melon Eater and Peter Pumpkin Eater from Ingleside Imaginarium Oh my gosh, these are the CUTEST little opossoms enjoying fruits of the season! Little baby Millie has been munching on her sweet summer melon... and I bet she's nice and cool sitting right in it! Peter looks as pleased as pie... he's so lucky that he ran into an unattended pumpkin on someone's front porch! (We had something eat all our pumpkins we left outside last Fall ... I bet we made our yard critters as happy as these!) Anyway, presented as charts, each finishes about 4-1/2 x 5-1/2 on 32ct linen, and uses both DMC and a smattering of hand-dyed flosses. I think these are charming and so unique, just love 'em!
Christmas at Grandma's #3 from Little Robin Designs This is the pair of Santa and his Mrs... so darling and retro in personality! They measure 55 x 68, so finish about 3-1/2 x 4 on 32ct. Choose a pretty light blue - or solid Star Sapphire linen in another really good (easier to find!) fabric choice! Coded for a medley of hand-dyeds and DMC, both designs are in the chart pack.
On the Way from Dirty Annie's Dachshund Through the Snow - Oh my gosh this is darling! Stitched on Mint Splash 32ct Lugana, this little guy is the happiest! What a fun wintertime decoration. He measures 143 x 138 - so finishes abut 9 x 9, and is stitched with a medley of Classic and Weeks hand-dyeds. So many of the sky blue hand-dyeds would work for this, as we LOVE LOVE Crossed Wing's Snow Squall Linen - it has white spots that actually do look like snowflakes. Gorgeous fabric choices in multiple counts. Pumpkin Patch - Here's a pretty and colorful medley of medallions, pumpkins and silly cats. Love those pumpkins - you could add beads all over on those, give your kitties opalescent white eyes, or stitch them in Simply Wool. This measures 119 x 112 - so finishes approx 7-1/2 square on 32ct. This is Dirty... but there are lots of hand-dyed gingerbreads and nutmeg fabric colors that woud be stunning with this as well.
	Yes, there's even MORE!
