Sew Stitch! from Anabella's Needleart Here's a cute set of 4 designs by Anabella's for us cross-stitchers and seamstresses. Presented in a heavy card-stock leaflet with full color charts, there are 4 designs that all coordinate. Charted for DMC - same basic color scheme across all 4 - they measure 60 x 60 stitches - so will finish into fun little 4-inch cushions if you work then on 32ct. Cute and quick! The leaflet cover pic is kind of dark... I think these would be pretty easy to brighten a little, and it'd be fun to feature metallic on the sewing machine decoration, buttons on the Sew happy, and maybe some wool for the tomato pin cushion!
New Designs from October House We are enjoying a trunk show from Robin in the shop RIGHT NOW... and are excited for new designs! Gingerbread Row - A Skinny Mini - This is a sweet gingerbread village that measures just 41 stitches high but 228 stitches long! On 32ct, it'll measure just 2-1/2 x 14! Darling to perch on a windowsill as a draft stopper! Coded for varied hand-dyeds. Stitch just a single house or two - they'd make cute little ornaments or stand-up cubes, or scissor fobs! Garden Sass - Robin used all her favorite colors in this piece... Red Pear, Hinter, Grits, Fathom, Winnie Blue and Rose Petal. Her sassy little floral basket in the center is accented by the borders of Quaker motifs and then calming leaves. She loves stuffing alphabets in small spaces.. so X Y and Z just made it! Arrives in the shop May 11-ish. Faded Flag - We LOVE this one! Another Skinny Mini - These designs make great frame weights! Stitched with Gentle Art's Old Red Paint, Antique Rose, Dungarees, Shaker White and Pomegranate, on 36ct, this finishes just 1-1/2 x 8-1/4! Arrives in the ship May 11th-ish. Needs no other words than WOW! LOVE IT!
Summer and Winter Designs by Ardth Designs I picked up 4 cute designs by Ardith Designs at the recent Market, lots of variety in them! Oh Deer - This is a big stitched gingerbread cookie ornament. Choose your favorite gingerbread-colored fabric - aida or linen - our little deer measures 57 x 67, and finishes 3-1/2 x 4 on 32ct. Stitched with brown and creme DMC floss, you garnish with cream glass beads and a little metallic green for his wreath/scarf. Once he's stitched, you can applique him onto a piece of felt... so now he looks like a frosted cookie. We offer our Weeks Dye Works felted wool in little 8 x 8 'Schnigglet Cuts' that are perfect for this. You'll want to choose your fabric and wool together, so they coordinate. Cute finishing idea for a really sweet design. Presented as a chart. Olde Town Winter Wonders - This is a miniature tree - it stands only 4-1/2 inches high! The colors in this are really fun - it is worked on 32ct Riviera Olive Green Linen (we have it in 28 and 32) and is garnished with Mill Hill's larger size 8 glass beads. Makes a fun teeny stand-up decoration with a burst of bright green. Setting Sail - A fun sea-sampler, this is charted to finish into a triangular shape. The piece is made into a little sail, and apparently you can buy a small wooden sailboat kit to make the boat in the pic for your sail! Details for this are in with the chart. It isn't coded for DMC either... but the pictures are really good and it's all blue... so I think you could figure something out. Full of little fish, and sea creatures, it's just an endearing design with a fun finishing treatment that caught our eye. Presented as a chart. Maryland Blue Crab - A super-easy crab that measures just 56 x 60, stitch him-her(?) on a sandy colored fabric so it will look good as a cushion nestled in your bowl of sea glass or shells. Choose one color of hand-dyed, and you're done!
Something fun to stitch from Stitchy Prose Stitchy Witchy Bell Pull - 'After Twilight's embrace witches weave spells with needles and lace.' This was done on an acid-yellow/green fabric to really accent the two thread colors of Blackbird and Rainy Day. (Dmc 310 and 550.) Something cute for stitchers... wouldn't this be fun split up into 5 individual pin cushions and nestled in a bowl? The Stitch count is 73 x 291 - so you'd have 4-inch wide cushions... and 16 inches of length between them - I think it'd make a fun display! Add a little furry thread to the cat, some button embellishments, metallics to the moons, spider web and needles...and back them with deep dark wools to make them more spooky! Cardinals's Promise - I had never heard this verse before, but several designers did things with this sentiment this season. This one is one of the prettiest, measuring a generous 160 x 160 and finishing 10 x 10 on 32ct. Coded for DMC, it's worked on a winter-y gray background, so the snowflakes can show up. Very organized, easy to read, pleasing to the eye, it's presented as a full-sized chart.
Heart in Hand has lots of fun new Releases! Frosty Tiny Town, Any Town Tiny Town and More Any Town Tiny Town Wow... say all three of these names together FAST! Cecilia has three more charming little city scenes to stitch... Frosty Tiny Town features warm and cozy houses on a silvery-snowy winter afternoon. Any Tiny Town features a book store, cafe, barber shop, and stitching shop. MORE Any Tiny Town has a pizza parlour, the cinema, a church and food market. Each comes as a half-sized leaflet, they include embellishments, and they are worked on various hand-dyeds and all are coded for Weeks AND Classic hand-dyeds or DMC.
Hissing Booth and Kissing Booth Have Arrived from Dirty Annie's Dirty Annie is Getting Us Ready for Valentine's Day! Here is a pair of designs that will be darling perched on your kitchen counter! Hissing - for the cat-lovers, and Kissing - for the doggy lovers... they come as separate charts. Choose any fabric you like, they measure 53 x 53 in stitch count and are worked with Weeks and Classic Hand-dyeds. Kitty is NOT accepting kisses from strangers, and Puppy is ready to lick and love on everyone!
New Designs from a New Designer - Cosford Rise Stitchery We have almost 3 dozen new designs by Kelly Grundy of Cosford Rise Stitchery - coming from all the way 'Across the Pond.' All are clearly charted and coded for DMC floss. Here we go! Happy Christmas to All - LOVE this! Santa floating above the sleeping village. Weeks Tin Roof Linen (your choice of count), this measures 130 x 160 - so approx 8 x 11 on 32ct. A Jolly Happy Soul - Another super-cute one... this is done on Weeks Tin Roof linen with a mixture of hand-dyeds, but DMC conversions are given. 169 x 69 -- so 9-1/2 x 4 in 36ct. Holy Holy Holy - Just a classic! Worked on Weeks Twilight Linen, this one is NOT coded for DMC. Everything pops on that dark fabric, this measures 140 x 84 - so approx 9 x 5 on 32ct.
New Designs from Lila's Studio Summer Quakers - Love this! A charming seaside village perched beside the busy sea! There is a ship arriving, and we are treated to all the 'busy-ness' below the water's surface! Next, all is surrounded by glorious Quaker-inspired sampler motifs - making an elegant and involved border. Notice the crabs and lobster in it? Measures 267 x 216 - so it finishes approx 15 x 12 on 36ct. Hand-dyed fabric in the picture is Fibre On A Whim's Latte - which is a gret neutral color. Coded for DMC. The Lord's Prayer - The favorite prayer quietly stitched in DMC on a neutral background. This measures 238 x 296 - so about 13 x 16 on 36ct. Mary Jane's Motifs - This is a set of pin cushions done from motifs taken from a larger antique sampler. Super classic urn and floral designs... you can change colors if need be - these aren't too involved, so that isn't hard. They are just classic, simple rpetty designs that caught my eye!
Needle Print & Plays from Just Another Button Company Cecile at Just Another Button Company is a whiz with her business printer machine. She has figured out a way to run perforated paper through her printer. (This is a 'don't do this at home' kind of thing!) She has designed backgrounds, then cross stitch designs to go over the backgrounds, and then added her hand-made polymer clay buttons to embellish each. Absolutely enchanting, we loved having the models in the shop when she came for a She Shed Retreat a few weekends ago. These are hard to explain, but I hope you can see from my pics what I am talking about. You see part of the design stitched, you see part of the exposed paper, but what she's done, is printed a back-sheet to put behind your paper to cover the unstitched holes - so you don't really SEE the paper! (You can see this in detail when you go to our JABC page and click on each individual deesign.) Look at 'Wicked' - it's a really good example - behind the paper you stitched on is another printed sheet that mimics the design so the moon is yellow and the sky is black - with no paper holes to see! Really fun, clean, colorful and creative, the stitching on these is pretty minimal, so especially after button attachment - you get a lot of 'visual bang for your buck!' Each design comes with the printed paper, printed backsheet, chart, and buttons. You add bits of floss from your stash. Ready for framing when you're finished, they are all super cute, and all finish somewhere around 4 x 5 x 6.
Autumn and Thanksgiving Designs from Samplers and Primitives Are Back In! A new company for us to carry, these 4 designs are available as charts. Rose Band Sampler - Well, I lied... this one is for all year long - not necessarily Thanksgiving! LOVE the vintage-inspired rose medley medallion as well the the 4 delicate rows beside it. You could do a large 'mattress' cushion and stitch the 4 bands as the sides... or even do parts of those as smaller cushions. Lovely, and very classic. The Autumn Quakers - Choose a white or creme for these, pretty acorn shadings with a hint of Quaker borders tossed in! Smaller one is close to 4 x 4, larger is closer to 6 x 6. The Autumn Alphabet - Companions the cushions, right at about the same size... same motifs, colors... all three of these would be pretty together in a woven basket with acorns and dried leaves! 1869 Thanksgiving Pin Cushion - Celebrating the year the US made Thanksgiving a National Holiday! Love the little shade pumpkins and vine... I might re-arrange those numerals on the date a little - but that's a personal thing. Tuck this in with the Autumn Quaker and Alphabet pillows.
Three Halloween Treats from Kathy Barrick Tis Near Halloween - Who doesn't LOVE this little kitty? Kathy found the verse on an old postcard and gave it a new home on little black kitty. Cool penny rug border, that busy sky - choose a fabric medium in color so you don't lose the bats in the background, metallic for the moon would be fun, wool for the cat would be awesome! Measures 131 x 145, 'When witches go riding and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers tis near Halloween.' Come on In! - 'Take off your skin and dance around in your bones!' Measures 129 x 178 - would be 7 x 10 on 36ct... and we have AWESOME fabric choices for this one! Lots of deep angry blues to look like night sky! Haunted - You get BOTH of these design arrangements in this book! Haunted is super fun... more and more motifs keep showing up - I love all the zig zags and geometrics in here. Check out the skeleton bats. All the cute jacks underneath the house, that awesome tree... all of this! Lots of design options on this one, just have fun with all the pieces and parts!
Poltergeist Pirates from Glendon Place Glendon Place's Cheryl has designed a friendly pirate ship that isn't as scary as the skulls on there would like! Stitched on Crossed Wing's hand-dyed BANG! linen... Charted for DMC floss, Cheryl has featured 6 colors of Rainbow Gallery's Silk Lame' braid in this and several Just Another Company clay button embellishments.The Lame is a silk-rayon blend with touches of opalescent metallic in it - gives a shimmer! So, the ghosts are glow-in-the-dark, and so is the skull on the flag. The lightest blue in the waves is stitched with the Lame in frosty blue. I like the shark in the water, the dragon on the front of the ship, the ghosts clinging to the masts, but the little skeleton crow steals the show! He's got his captains hat on, and he's on guard! Offered as the chart, we have the Lame' threads, the fabric and buttons all gathered together as a set - because you really need all the right things to capture the charm of this cute piece.
A Trio of Christmas Cheer from Quaint Rose Needlearts Peppermint Urn - This is a pretty design - you'll notice that it is done on two different fabrics that are joined together to make the 7 x 7 cushion. The little X's across the seam are there for decoration... and QR directs you to a YouTube video for that joining process. Coded for Gentle Art or DMC floss, it's a festive little pot of peppermints! Stitch and Be Merry - Another piece that features two different fabrics joined together. QR sends you to instructions for that if you want to take a look, but you can do this on one single cut as well. What makes this one fun, though, is that the tree is a THIRD cut of fabric appliqued on there! Could be wool if you wanted, rather than linen. Coded for silks of DMC, this finishes approx 6 x 11 on 36ct.
Really Cute New Pins and Patterns from PuntiniPuntini's Paola! All of these are charts. Paola creates matching/coordinating pins to go with all her clay buttons - everything is fine and super detailed. We are including all the pin sets with the charts this season. Autumn Friends with Pin set - HOW CUTE is this? A forest scene of life around the log ... check out the little hedgehog button right in the center! The mushroom house has a chimney, and the forest friends down below include a fox and snail. Stitch count is 91 x 75 - 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 32ct. A pin cushion size, we are including Paola's handmade Autumn Friends Pin Set that she features on her model. The pins include a squirrel, snail and another hedgehog - all handmade polymer clay. Exquisite! Moonlight Owl - This little guy measures the same 4-1.2 x 5-12 on 32ct, and features a single owl button. Paola's matching Moonlight Owl pin set has another owl, a leaf, and HOOT - which could kind of be the moon! We ae including the pin set with the chart - since they coordinate! Fall Trio - Another set of charts with coordinating pins. Fall trio has all three stitched designs, and that pin set is EXQUISITE! (We do have a few extra pin sets.) You get two striped gourds, an acorn, leaf, pumpkin and mushroom pin in that set. Her details in the clay layers is lovely - so much shading. Christmas Trio - Peppermints, ornaments and Santa all adorn these little cushion pillows. The matching pin set includes a striped gift, candy cane, evergreen, holly leaf, and peppermint... just a pretty frosty set. Everything about this one is cute... charts and pins. Sparkle and Shine - Here's a fun old fashioned tree all decked out for the season. Very classic in personality, the coordinating pin set includes a tiny evergreen tree, star and candy cane.
The Seafarer's Journey and Haunted Chateau from Twin Peak Primitives The Seafarer's Journey by Twin Peak is just a fun piece. Coded for 14 shades of regular DMC, this measures just 111 x 108 in stitch count - so an enchanting 6 x 6 on 18/36ct! Ice blue is the suggested fabric color - it's showing through in the side and bottom panels. The flag across the top is solid stitching, as is the clipper ship in the center. Absolutely delightful, you could get 5 separate cushions out of this, finish the houses and flag bands into tiny drums, make a small stand-alone cube from the clipper ship section, even back the clipper ship block with the two side panels. Very eye catching... we like it! Haunted Chateau - Quite the heavily guarded castle - it looks scary even before we bring Halloween into the mix! Knights and shields, that wrought iron fence -y border, then the wonderful haunted house, you could leave off the Halloween word and the alphabet and add a "welcome to our home' and you name! Measuring almost 275 stitches square this will finish approx 16 x 17 on 32ct - too big to miss! Coded for DMC, it's charming in a creepy way!
I Stitched at The She Shed! We have darling little stitching thread and bead mats that celebrate our Silver Needle She Shed Events! (We JUST missed our Cross Eyed Cricket Event... these came yesterday!) A large vinyl card, these measure 7 x 10 in size. They feature 12 thread holes, a 4 x 8 area of (attached) fleece to hold needles, loose beads and charms, and a needle minder that matches the artwork on the board. Something to commemorate your visit... you survived a retreat weekend in the She Shed! We have these available when you come, or via the mail in case you've been and want one now!
Safe Touch from The Purple Thread This is the coolest little 'grime-guard!' Basically, it is a magnetized cover of wool that wraps around your fabric so your hand is not touching your needlework fabric. Sharon, from The Purple Thread, dreamed up this gizmo... first the wooden 'handles' are imprinted with inch and half-inch increments. Use those for measuring just like a corner gauge. Next, whip stitch the bars onto the edges of the included heavy cut of wool. Then, wrap your 'blanket' around your hoop or Q-Snap or whatever you hold... and you can see from the pic that your fabric is protected from the oil/lotions on your hands. Packet contains the wooden bars with magnets attached, wool, bit of floss and directions for the whip stitching.
Charming Miniature Knotwork by Teresa Layman We are enchanted by these teeny-tiny French Knot pieces by Teresa Layman. One strand of DMC, making single wrap knots (filling in the design just like paint-by-number), you will be creating miniature rugs or little pieces to frame. Patterns come printed on high quality fabric, with color quide included, as well as two small needles. You will need bits of floss from your stash, a good hoop and a sharp pair of small scissors. You are simply filling in the areas with hundreds of bitty knots!
Beach Day from The Petal Pusher Our favorite farm animals are back again - everybody is at the beach this time around. Petal Pusher has 4 of the most delightful little 'parades' of farm animals - who have all proudly dressed up for their particular occasions. So far, we have Holiday Hoedown for Christmas, Halloween Hoedown, Spring Fling and Patriotic Parade. Each time, it's the same 5 little animals - a horse, pig, sheep, chicken and cow. You can buy the whole set of one season of charts - or collect just the animals you like. The pig is Uncle Ham in Patriotic, Heavenly Hog at Christmas, for Halloween he dressed up as Bat Pig, and here he's Sandy Swine Beach Day brings us Hang Ten Heifer, Sun Loving Sheep, Patrolling Poultry (the lifeguards up on the tower!), Sandy Swine and Scuba Stallion. Notice that cute little crab on there if you do them invidually? Anyway, each finishes 3 x 5, and together the whole row is 5 x 15. Stitched on a pretty hand-dyed blue - any count you like - coded for DMC.
More Super-Singles by Multiple Designers! Turn Turn by Noteworthy Needle - I have absolutely no way to describe to you what this piece does other than the fact that it is a bunch of tiny triangular sides all stitched and finished in such a way that you can turn them inside out and around and your stitching changes to another season. It's all one piece! In looking through the chart, I have concluded that you have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out... or really, really good with visualization and geometrics and have a little patience! Janice had her stitched model at Market and it was enchanting to play with... just the coolest thing. So get this chart, and have fun figuring it out. It's on 32ct fabric and stitched with DMC and some Gentle Art hand-dyeds. The tree in here is stitched in three different seasons, REALLY cool, and you can see that the whole thing is pretty petite - because of the hands in the photograph. Talk about a conversation piece! Spaghetti Western Sampler by Ardith Designs This is simply super cute! It's got a western theme... with pasta all over in it! Inspired by her mom, who loved the old spaghetti western movies and cooking spaghetti dinners on those Sunday nights, this piece is adorned with meatballs, all sorts of different pasta shapes, (wagon wheels and bow ties!) and of course, cowboys! There is a whole little story about it on the back of the chart. Stitched on a pale red fabric with DMC and/or Gentle Art hand-dyeds, it finishes approx 6 x 9 on 32ct. A REALLY COOL kitchen conversation piece... 'Yee Haw for Good food and Social Justice!'
Liberty Lobstah and Hedge Hugs from The Elegant Thread We hit Summertime and Valentines with these two offerings by The Elegant Thread! Liberty Lobstah is just a fun little creepy crustacian! Stitched on a creme background, with 5 shades of Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed flosses, it'll finish 5 x 7 - with the words, or 3 x 5 without. Just a silly and cute little thing, the chart includes three silvertoned patriotic charms. Elegant Thread's Lobstah Dinner Ornament kit is still available as well - cute just like this one! Hedge Hugs - Isn't this cute? Your baby hedgehog is bringing your love! Coded for Sulky thread - just follow the color pic on the chart cover to choose DMC, this finishes just 4 x 5 on 16/32ct. I'd choose a pretty brown Simply Wool for the hedgehog fur and a little black metallic for his eyes and nose!
Mr and Mrs Sherpa Sheep Accessory Holders You'll remember our Mr Sherpa Sheep scissor/tool holder we have had for a couple of seasons... but here is Mrs! Of course, she is standing up on her feet, apron on, ready to work hard for you! Her apron has tiny pockets for threaders or counting pins, her crocheted basket is large enough for a thimble or tube of needles, and the strap around her apron is really 18 inches long to teather your scissors! Those little bables are attached to HER so you can't lose them in a classroom situation of somewhere busy like a cruise ship! (Who knows all the fun places people stitch!) Anyway, a fun pin cushion, and super cool if you are a sheep lover! (Needles or scissors not included.)
A pair of 'Crafty Puzzles!' Something fun to pass the time - in case you're finished with your projects (!)... two fun puzzles are here! Both 1000 pieces, finishishing about 20 x 30. Thank-You America Quilt Puzzle is full of patriotic quilt bits and pieces. (That Thank-You America Quilt banner across the center is NOT in the puzzle - you will have an uninterrupted quilt image when finished.) The Thimble Blossoms Puzzle design is full of colorful fabric bits, threads and quilting tools. Both are charming... and so fun, I just had to order them!
Christmas, Night, Mermaid, and Halloween Terrariums from The Tiny Modernist This is a fun little set of designs... tiny scenes contained in glass. My favorite is the dead relative buried in the Halloween yard! Each is presented in a full color 6 x 9 chart - $9.00 each - and coded for DMC floss. They all finish the same 4 x 6 on 16/32ct. 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!
New Artful Owls by Debbie Mumm for Mill Hill A charming collection of colorful owls has arrived! Designed by Debbie Mumm for Mill Hill, we have 4 new kits worked on 16ct Aida. Each kit includes a cut of brightly colored 16ct Aida, Mill Hill glass beads, floss, needles and the chart. Cute as can be, they finish about 5 inches in size. Spring is done on a bright apple green, Summer is a bright aqua-blue, Autumn features a deeper mossy green, and a wintery-beige is perfect for the little wintery owls!
Spring Releases from The Blue Flower In Praise of Pollinators - Jeannine is a whiz at gardens and animals. Her things are always full of strange flora and fauna, and I love reading what everything is inside her charts! This piece celebrates the many pollination heroes in the world. There are native bees, birds, insects and mammals who are doing the essential work of pollinating the natural world. Her pretty sampler is done with mostly DMC and measures 165 x 195 in size. Tiny details and surprises everywhere in this! Bees in the Greenhouse - We love this little shaped cushion! It's like a miniature greenhouse! It's inspiration comes from peering through the windows of an elaborate white-framed greenhouse... finishing details for this are presented on Blue Flower's website. Stitch count is 300 x 102 - done on 40ct - threads are all DMC. Tudor Hound and Tudor Hare - A pair of complimenting designs, the hound is racing around the the elaborate spring floral gardens, while the Hare is sitting quietly, enjoying the beautiful blooms and the soft seasonal colors. Both feature DMC and trimmed with Lady Dot chenille trims. Stitch counts are 59 x 107 for each. Hedgehog and Hyacinth - These cute little hedgehogs are ready for wet spring weather in their green boots. Stitch count is just 55 x 59 - so a bitty little 3-inch cushion on 40ct. Seasons of the Heart - Hearts for Pam - So charming! This celebrates the flora and fauna of Australia! Jeannine wants you to bring a little Aussie flavor into your home! 101 x 80 - This is companion to all her other Seasons of Heart designs.
New Designs from Boulder Valley Stitching Stitch Every Day - Here are rules for Needleworkers... spools of thread on here, this would be better if you wound tiny skeins of floss and tacked them on here! Still adds the color, but gives us floss - instead of sewing thread. The idea is cute though and will make a fun sign for your stitching/sewing room! We'll put a big enough image in the click-thru so you can read the verse. Always Be an Artist - 'Learn the rules like a Pro, so you can break them like an Artist.' A quote from Picasso! Stitched with DMC, choose any background fabric you like, this measures 210 x 84 - so it'll be nice 13 x 5 on 32ct! Offered as a chart.
Gathering Violets, Liberty Glory Unity, Autumn's Acorns and Wintergreen Christmas from Luminous Fiber Arts Luminous Fiber Arts has new releases for all year long! Gathering Violets - The 7th coordinating design in this series, each is presented in a single leafet, they finish about 4 x 4, all are garnished with old buttons from your stash, and each is stitched in one different hand-dyed color of floss. Joins Berries, Clover, Honey, Acorns, Snowflakes and Stitches, these would finish well into stand-up blocks or a long zig-zag! Liberty Glory Unity - Another charming retro-flavored seasonal trio... stitch these arranged like this, or make cushions or more little stand-up blocks. Coded for a medley of hand-dyeds, it's presented in leaflet format. Coordinates with Jingle Jolly Joy, Hop Peep Leap, and Sneaky Spooky Spells - quite a mouthful of names! Autumn's Acorns - This is done with just one solid color of DMC... choose a rust, black, anything. In looking at the 'Gathering' series above, you can get an idea of what hand-dyed threads can do for a simple design like this... so get creative if the mood strikes! This is presented in a leaflet format. Wintergreen Christmas - Love that brilliant aqua blue background for these... give them that retro-antique flavor. Choose your favorite count of fabric - Misty has includes the wool leaf and oval finishing templates for 14/28, 32, 36 and 40ct fabrics - so no guessing on making those cute little leaves! We have white Wisper thread from Rainbow Gallery - makes a nice furry Santa beard, and we have opalescent Petite Treasure Braid that would look stunning in the background snowflakes... beads for the pine tree fronds, red metallic for the Ho Ho Ho... lots of fun options.
Songbird Serenade from Counting Puddles What a pretty pair of songbirds - especially with their songs floating across the piece. Stitched on Touch of Yellow fabric with regular DMC they finish only 6-1.2 inches on 28ct! So... a very petite 5 x 5 on 36ct. Both designs are included in the leaflet. I wonder if touches of Rainbow Gallery's Petite Treasure Braid metallic would be good on these... I can't tell from the pics but there might be bead embellishments on the flower centers... and I'm thinking BITS of metallic in the musical notes would be pretty!
Needleworker's Spot Motif Sampler from By the Bay Needleart New from By the Bay, this is a fun little piece for your stitching/sewing room. You get both the sewing machine cushion pattern and the main motif sampler which has a tiny dress form in it, pin cushions, scissors, buttons and needles... all in a colorful medley. Coded for DMC it finishes just 4 x 6 on 28ct Star Sapphire Linen. The machine cushion is only 2 x 3! I know you cannot tell from the cover pic, but Star Sapphire is a gorgeous minty/aqua pastel color. Donna has some corner meadallion stitching on here that is done with white - I think to remind you of lace - but you cannot tell that from the cover pic.
Under The Mistletoe, Main Street, and Witch's Parking from Finally a Farmgirl Finally A Farmgirl has some pretty cute releases for all year long! Under the Mistletoe - Oh, here's Mr and Mrs Claus celebrating another successful Christmas under the Mistletoe! Measuring only 48 x 70, and stitched with DMC on 32 Nocturne (or any lovely evening-dark color), they finish 3 x 4. What I think is awesome about this design is that it could be a WEDDING OR ANNIVERSARY momento! You could stitch it for Mom and Dad as a Christmas gift and personalize it on the backside. Rainbow Gallery's White Wisper would be awesome in the fur or even the little mouse in Santa's hat! Just love the possibilities with this design! Main Street - Lots of little town and village street scenes these days... and here's another really good one! Stitch count of 306 x 106 - it'll finish a whopping 19 x 7 on 32ct. Long enough to make a drum shape finish. A summer/patriotic theme, it's crisp, colorful, and every shop looks welcoming! Witch's Parking - How about displaying this on your kitchen eating island at Halloween time - and listen to the comments! This little toad is enforcing the parking situation. Measuring 103 x 109, it'll finish about 7 inches on 32ct, and is done with a medley of DMC and varied hand-dyeds. Just for fun!
	Yes, there's even MORE!
