Follow The Yellow Brick Road This is a sweet, simple rendition of the story of The Wizard of Oz... cross-stitch-style. When stitched on 14ct, this'll finish approx 9 x 12-1/2 and is worked with 27 shades of DMC. It would be cute finished into a 6-sided stuffed fabric block... fun to turn it around in your hands to follow the story!
All The Fun Of The Fair Oh we might not be going to The Fair much in 2020... but we used to... and we will again! Now it means greasy food, and kind of getting sick watching the crazy rides. The 4-H exhibits are neat... the booths selling ironing board covers - not so much. So WHY do we remember it so well from when we were little? Everything must have been colorful back then, the candy was delicious, and those rides didn't make you sick - just super scared! This is a fun scene from your memory - measuring 123 x 176 - so 9 x 12 on 28ct. Coded for DMC, choose a fun background fabric color so the white will show up, and for heavens sake, add some metallics and beads to this! What a fun summer decoration to get out and display from June to September!
A little Christmas in July! New from Little Dove Designs A Stitch for All Seasons - Winter - This one measures 180 x 180. While the suggested background color is blue... there are lots of pretty fabrics this would look good on. The sections lend themselves to being stitched individually as well! I really like the middle panel of Bethlehem. Coded for regular DMC. Heart of Winter - Finishes approx 10 x 10 when worked on a 14/28ct. Coded for DMC, choose a grey or blue, so the white shows up against the fabric. I think some opalescent threads in those snowflakes would be pretty! Doesn't it remind you of a knitted sweater?
The 4 Seasons This is a 4-Chart Set of charming samplers - each for a season of the year. All 4 are the same size - finishing approx 7-1/2 x 11 on 16/32ct. She suggests natural, beige or taupe for three, and gray for the winter one... but we think you ought to stick with the same fabric for all 4, or switch it out for EACH piece, rather than 3 on one fabric and one on another. Coded for DMC, you've got lots of opportunity for beads, trinkets, metallics, furry threads, and hand-dyeds. Cute motifs, great little design details! We have gathered all 4 charts together for you, so nobody has to chase down a missing season!
