State Fair Little House has a new piece that might remind some of you 'old-timers' of the Told in a Garden pieces (that are now 25 years old!!!) we used to love and stitch! Festivities of the local State Fair, the lovely pies and jams, pumpkins, quilts and animals -- all presented with pride and joy -- I love going to our Fair every year! Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 6 x 11 on 28ct. Definitely an slice of Americana!
Coming to America This piece commemorates the years of United States history -- 1840 to 1920 -- when America saw its greatest number of immigrant arrivals. Neat design elements, the tall ship, the NY skyline, and the pier in the harbor at Ellis Island... this has a nice feel to it. Offered as the chart, it uses DMC and Crescent Colours flosses and finishes approx 10 x 6-1/2 on 32ct linen.
In The Beginning A country version of the Garden of Eden... this is stitched entirely in DMC flosses and has a square stitch count of 125. 10ct Tula would make a lovely, large pillow, over one on 32ct, it would make a petite 4-inch cube or box-top! Create!!!!
All Dolled Up Designs Little House Needleworks has released several designs that are 'All Dolled Up' with 'Pretties!' A few beads here and there... a clay button or two... just a little something in the way of garnish. The Queen Bee and Chocolate Box are a step away from all her house designs -- just for fun! If you've taken one of our Mona's finishing classes, or subscribe to the Secret Needle Night finishing kits... that chocolate box will be a breeze for you to make! Offered as charts, each finishes approx 5 x 5 -- Strawberry House is 4 x 6. Using DMC flosses and Crescent overdyeds, the beads are Mill Hill, and buttons come from Just Another Button Co. Cute!
Little House Neighborhood See if you can spot seven different designs in here, that you'll recognize from previously published Little House Needleworks charts! Charming houses, trees and neighbors, this medley finishes a whopping 12-1/2 x 16-1/2 stitched on 28ct linen. Using regular shades of DMC floss, everything is done in regular crosses. Might be kind of fun to add Satin Stitches in the windows, knots on the sheep and squirrels -- even a little of the Gentle Art's Simply Wool, to make them fuzzy! Very tailored, neat and even... this piece has a restful balance to it! Offered as the chart... one of two new ones today.
Yesteryear Yup... telephones are still around... only now they're just the 'land-line', and nobody under the age of 25 has one of THOSE anymore! Typewriters are GONE! Automobiles will be around for a while, still... and so will bicycles... but photographs? Definitely not the same as they used to be... and airplanes? Remember when flying was glamorous, you dressed up, and they passed out GUM? OK... I'm thinking this design is truly a glimpse into days gone by! Finishing approx 6 x 14 on 28ct linen, this is worked entirely in DMC flosses, and features 6 charming blocks of Yesteryear!!
The Old West One can almost smell the gunpowder, hear the horses and feel the heat of the desert... (but let's ignore the chewing tobacco and dust!) This charming piece is stitched on any 28ct taupe/natural linen to finish approx 9 x 11. Stitched entirely in regular DMC flosses, it is full of neat Old West memories and motifs. You could add some appropriately colored beads to the borders, and a little metallic in the gold nuggets... but if you don't... it will be delightful all the same! Great colors! Offered as a chart.
Winter Wonderland A neat little winter scene... complete with snowman and wildlife... and surrounded by large snowflakes. Finishing 9 x 5 on 28 ct Natural Raw Linen, it calls for both Crescent Colors and SMC flosses. See the other two new designs -- one more from Little House and one from Country Cottage -- below.
Acorns & Pines The first in LH's new Simple Sampler Series, this is a small chart for a 5 x 5 design. The trademark little house, surrounded by pine trees and acorns, the entire piece is worked in regular DMC flosses -- which you already have in your stash! The stitch count for this is 65 x 65... so if you get motivated... you could stitch this over one on 32ct, and end up with a tiny, tiny fob or mini-picture!
Coffee Menu Here's a fun decoration for the cozy coffee corner of your kitchen! Stitched on 28ct, in delicious colors of overdyed flosses and DMC cocoa and mocha browns, this finishes approx 5 x 12. (I see the gingham wall paper in the background... and think this would look dynamite on the Graziano Taupe and Natural Gingham linen!!!) Your faithful webmaster, Mary, has a coffee kitchen -- complete with huge burlap coffee bags direct from the plantation gracing her walls... this would be a fun addition to that display! Offered as the chart; Little House has another new design, Friendship Tree -- check it out, below.
Through the Woods A chilly wintry scene, complete with a fire in the cabin chimney, pine trees and the snowman out in the yard, this would be really neat personalized with the family name, and hung in the family cabin!!! Extend that side border a bit and add the extra line... 'to the Legener's house we go!' Stitched on 28ct Cashel Linen in Crescents, Sampler Threads and DMCs... this finishes approx 5 x 10 when stitched as charted. Wonderful, soft greens and teals... this is offered as a chart.
Peace and Plenty A simple verse that spells out our lives... this features little trees just like the LHN logo tree! Finishing approx 5 x 8 on a 32ct, wouldn't this make a neat housewarming gift, if you added a bit of personalization? Hazelnuts, pine greens, rosewood, and cream... really pretty colors... you could change the house colors, give the trees seasonal colors... lots of fun stuff!!! Crisp and Balanced!
The Bookshelf One of three great new releases by Little House... this piece is classy! Celebrating female authors, it's kind of fun for a library or study, and a treat for a bookworm. It measures 8 x 12 stitched on 28ct linen, in LHN's DMC palette of browns, greens, terra cottas, grey-greens, and this time... a touch of gold metallic. Offered as a chart... something about the design composition of this just pulls you right to it! Very good looking!!!
Herb Garden 'The herbs in my garden are planted to share, with family and friends and the little brown hare.' Is that cute or what??? What a lucky little bunny! Stitched on 32ct Lilac linen, the DMCs are soft mosses, browns and violets. Finishing approx 4 x 6, it's a sweet piece for your garden room! Offered as a chart
