 Geppetto's *In the land of toys, every day except Sunday is Saturday.* Here is where Pinocchio came from! Little House Needleworks has released this fun piece that finishes approx 12-1/2 x 14-1/2 on 30ct, or 10 x 12 on 36. Stitched with Classic Colorworks or DMC floss, what a cute Wintery decoration. The verse comes from the original story book, we just love it all! You'll need multiple skeins (20 total) of the hand-dyed flosses, so get it all at once so dye lots match. | |
 Kringles Little House Needleworks has designed this CHARMING Department Store all decorated for Christmas Holiday Sales! It is absolutely enchanting... stitched with gold metallic and everything! Finishing about 13 x 15 on 30ct Parisian Gray linen, it uses 8 skeins of 7 different DMC colors along with 20 skeins of 8 different Classic Colorworks hand-dyed shades. We get shop windows of a train, the Nutcracker Prince and Clara, the toy department, the stuffed animals and even the bakery. Love it, love it! | |
 
 Presenting A Log Cabin Christmas Diane welcomes us to the forest with this neat wintery/Christmassy medley of cabins, pine trees, bears, birds, snowmen and quilts! It just LOOKS warm and fuzzy! Log Cabin Squirrel is the first design to release - March of 2024. The next 8 designs release one a month, to finish in November of 2024. Stitch them on 32ct Natural - each block measures 63 x 63, the entire piece measures approx 200 x 200. (Fat quarter is the most economical way to purchase this - you'll have enough fabric left for several smaller ornaments you can make from the various charts!) Stitched with Classic Colorworks hand-dyeds, you will need 19 skeins (for 32ct), and 2 DMC flosses (648, 3828.... minimal stitches used, so Diane recommends to raid your stash for these) Charts coming in order are: Log Cabin Bunnies, Fox, In The Woods Bear, Log Cabin Quilt, In the Woods Deer, Mrs Snow, Log Cabin Christmas and Mr Snow. We are auto-shipping the charts now, fabric and threads are optional! | |
 The Seasonal Petites Diane is making a nice collection of smalls - all 39 x 39 in size - and if you look over the entire collection of different charts so far, you're going to have a hard time choosing a favorite set. My answer is to do them all - choose one fabric for each set, and maybe one trim color for each set... make tiny stuffed cushions... and nestle in a cool vessel. We've seen tall glass vases - where you can stack them inside and arrange the stitching-side-out - nobody can handle them that way. But I like the bowl on the kitchen island where everyone who comes by fiddles with them just a little - kind of like digging through the Halloween Candy Bowl! This Americana set is worked on 30ct Portobello with Classic flosses. We're showing the entire growing collection here - choose from Autumn, Thanksgiving, Winter or Snowy, Valentine and Love, Bumble Bees and Spring Sunshine so far... and now Americana. | |
Alice's Winter WonderlandLittle House has a new Winter-y street scene... this one features the Alice-in-Wonderland characters as the shop-owners. Alice's tea Room, White Rabbits's Watch Repair and the Queen of Hearts Art Studio... each proprietor is outside their shops - waiting to greet customers! White Rabbit is standing on his bench - made from a big key. Coded for Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses, this finishes approx 10-1/2 x 6 on 30/32ct fabric. You could make it a little smaller by leaving off the row of trees along the bottom, and I think it'd be easy to change the names on the buildings if you are not an A-I-W fan... because the shops are just plain cute all on their own! | |
Neighborhood Dog ShowWhat a cute row of all shapes and sizes and colors of dogs! All we need is a squirrel! Originally published by Diane in 2014 as a fundraiser for a local pet shelter, here it is again for everyone. Coded for DMC, you could change some dog colors if you need to, add hand-dyeds or even use Gentle Art's Simply Wools. Just Another Button Company has dog bone and flower buttons... and Puntini has tiny squirrel and acorn buttons. A super-cute pattern... what about fun names on there too? | |
 Little House Needleworks' Fall on the Farm Series for 2022 - NOW COMPLETE! Beginning this December and running till finished in August of 2022, Diane is starting a set of nine small designs that will follow the same formatting as her Farmhouse Christmas set. Stitched on 30ct Portobello, (which is closely comparable to 32ct natural linen), the whole thing will measure 13 x 13. No border this time... but each individual design will be 63 stitches - around 4 inches. 18 Skeins of Classic Colorworks flosses required... we'll be starting an auto ship for it all! Enjoy her teaser/promo pic! | |
Note: when you order an auto-ship, it will show up on your order form as a "zero-cost" or $.01 item, as we won't charge your credit card until we ship. | |
 Cocoa Cafe Stitch a sign for the kitchen to announce all the goodies waiting within! Worked on 32ct natural linen, this finishes approx 6 x 9 and calls for only 6 colors of DMC or Classic Colorworks hand-dyed floss. | |
 Months of the Year This is a complete chart collection of 12 monthly designs - all measuring 70 x 70 in stitch count - and all just as cute as can be! The front of the chart makes reference to 'former thread pack sets, now available without thread' on the cover... so this must be something that we missed when previously released! (Who knows? The copyright date is 2020.) Each design is charming, and coded for Classic Colorworks hand-dyed floss. Stitch it all as one, or assemble into a set of stitched blocks - you could stitch all 6 sides and have fun turning your little cubes around in that filled bowl of bowl filler cushions! Anyway, all 12 charts in here, hand-dyed flosses are probably already in your stash, but we can send more if you need them! | |
 Heart of America This is a reprint of a past favorite design from 2008. Originally, it was available with threads and buttons - now without. The smattering of Just Another Button Company buttons (I think about $13) featured includes acorns, blackbirds, sheep and stars, and it is coded for Classic Colorworks flosses. Stitch count is 165 x 198, so a generous 10 x 12 on 32ct. Presented as a chart; threads, fabric and buttons all available separately. | |
Two New Releases from Little House Needleworks
| |
 Farm Life New from Little House Needleworks, Diane's verse is from one of the Psalms that deals with plants and growing life. Her farm scene to go with it is charming... full of rows of growing vegetables, farm animals scattered everywhere, even one little black sheep! Measuring 190 x 129, it finishes approx 12 x 8 on 32ct and uses DMC and Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses. It's quite a bustling scene, presented in chart format. | |
 
 Jack Frost's Tree Farm Diane's delightful new series is now complete! Stitched on 30ct Portobello Linen with her Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses, you can see ALL the upcoming parts and determine how you want to stitch this! Floss and fabric options as well! | |
 Summer ABC'S Little House Needlework is continuing her tall and skinny alphabet samplers with Summer. (We have needleworker's and the seasons so far.) The letters down the left-hand edge, a few selected words here and there with cute pictures to go with them, this makes a perfect decoration for a lonely, skinny wall somewhere! Lemonade, Ice cream, watermelons and picnics, it finishes approx 2-1/2 x 19-1/2 on 32ct. Stitched with 9 shades of Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses -- all of these in this set are really cute! Presented as a chart. | |
The Hometown Holiday Series Little House Needleworks is beginning a set of designs -- The Hometown Holiday Series. It will be a set (undisclosed number of designs in the set at this point) of small charts of houses and businesses in *A Village.* Diane does NOT have specific release dates for each subsequent pattern... and is not planning a monthly release for this set. (She's releasing as she finishes them... and is happy with her results.) The idea is to stitch them (on any fabric YOU LIKE BEST!) and finish them as small stand-ups. As your collection in *The Village* grows... you can arrange your stand-ups in any order you wish! They will not all be the same dimensions... but will follow a cohesive color palette. The first pattern is supposed to depict YOUR house. The second 'Main Street Station' is a cute train depot. Third will be Caroling Quartet and 4th is planned to be a Sweet Shop. (Remember NO scheduled release dates at this time.) No plans to put it all on one piece of fabric either... so this is just a *heads-up* to pay attention and watch for Hometown Holiday Designs!!! My House measures 49 x 59 stitches and features DMC or Crescent flosses. Offered as the small chart - no button embellishment. Just float your cursor over the individual images to see their design name.

 Spring ABC's Little House Needleworks has send her next lonnnnggg and skiiiinnnnyyy alphabet -- all of these are just TOO DARN CUTE! Measuring a very unique 2-3/8 x 19-3/8 inches, it's perfect to hang on a narrow wall somewhere. All the motifs scattered along the letters celebrate Springtime! Coded for Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses or DMC's. | |
Winter ABC'sLittle House Needleworks is designing a set of skinny seasonal alphabets! Winter is the third - Autumn and Stitcher are the first two... these are fun. Presented as the chart, it finishes approx 2 x 19... and is coded for Classic Colorworks or DMC flosses. The small motifs on this would make cute individual ornaments if you have a time crunch... but the whole things would be great hung on a tall, skinny empty wall somewhere! Coming in January: Little House's Farmhouse Christmas The next set of designs... it'll be our next LH auto-Ship series... we know NOTHING ELSE right now! Here's the teaser pic... cute!!!! Watch for details! | |
BethlehemThis is kind of neat... definitely a reminder of the Reason for the Season! Bethlehem is presented as a chart; the design finishes about 11-1/2 x 2 on 32ct. | |
 Autumn ABCs Wow, this is cute! The alphabet done vertically, you probably have a skinny wall next to a door or between closets or something that could a little dressing up! Diane's Fall Alphabet is a companion to her Stitcher's ABC's... it measures approx 2-1/2 x 19 inches in size. The chart calls for Classic Coloroworks flosses - you'll have to add some basic DMC for smaller areas that kind of 'don't count! Anyway - quilts, leaves, pumpkins and sunflowers - the letters help to spell the 'flavors of the season!' | |
He is RisenHe is Risen - We think this would be awesome hanging in a classroom or Sunday School room! Finishing approx 5 x 6 on 32ct, it is stitched with good old regular DMC floss! Lent is coming... you'll want to get this stitched for Easter! | |
Lantern LaneA pretty Holiday House so festive and organized! (I bet the tree is set up inside there perfectly... and not a creature is stirring!) I think my house looks this good on the outside... but inside, there are tree decorations everywhere... mixed in with the scattered doggy toys and my stitching stuff! Use this as a pretty welcome in your entry way... add your family name instead of the alphabet... kind of a 'family established' thing... and change the date. Finishing approx13 x 8 on 30ct Natural, this is coded for classic Colorworks Belle Soie Silk or cottons -- very elegant! | |
Route 66Coming RIGHT THROUGH the city of Tulsa (where we are!) is Route 66! A fun drive with lots of memorabilia all the way along the way, you need to stitch this for your RV! It'd make a darling pillow!!! You could even stitch little dots on the map for other places you love to visit, or to commemorate past trips. What a cool memento for travelers!!! Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 13 x 8 on 28ct linen, but you could make it larger on 10ct Tula -- 10 x 19 -- if that RV or camper has enough space for a neat pillow like that. Really cute! | |
Batter Up!Little House Needleworks has a neat design for any baseball-lover in your family! *Homerun, Slugger and Baseball*... decorated with red, white and blue banners. This just Speaks Summer!!! Stitched on 30ct with DMC and overdyeds, this'll finish approx 4-1/2 x 8-1/2. If you like this design, take a peek at LH's Take Me Out to the Ballgame chart, as well! | |
Take Me Out To The BallgameLittle House Needleworks has a charming scene-of-old, taking us back to the days of ball games at a summer fair. Dirt blowing all around the field and bleachers... the yummy fresh-popping popcorn smells... the cheers of the crowd... the decorations... everything about this piece is endearing... right down to the uneven bricks in the dugout walls! Worked on 30ct Straw Linen by Weeks, this measures approx 12 x 5 and is stitched with both overdyeds and DMCs. So, so cute... frame it with stubbs you have from your World Series tickets! Frame it in a shadow box with an old baseball shirt! Do you have even one or two old baseball cards??? What about pics of your kids on the plate??? There are lots of family possibilities with this one!!! Offered as a chart. | |
Around the World in 80 DaysThis design commemorates Jules Verne's famous book, published in 1873. Phileas Fogg and an employee attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days... on a bet! Actually, the balloon was barely mentioned in the book... Verne considered it very risky, if not impossible at that time. But was prominently featured in the 1956 movie and even the movie's promotional poster. Stitched with Gentle Art, Weeks and Crescent Colours, this is neat whether you like Jules Verne or not! Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 7 x 7 on 32ct. | |
Thirteen ColoniesWOW this is a pretty piece! Finishing approx 11 x 16 on 32ct, this offers lots of design choices for you! Stitch the main sampler -- complete with the traditional border on three sides, and the names of the 13 original colonies. OR... stitch JUST the charming colonial village scene panel in the center -- it measures approx 50 x 90 in count of solid stitching. Charted for DMC, Crescent Colours and Weeks Overdyed flosses, this is a beautiful piece with timeless appeal. No special stitches... just wonderful little X's! Offered as a chart. | |
Hillside Travelers'Up the hill, around the bend, through the woods and home again!' This is a charming new piece by Little House Needleworks that measures 271 x 101 stitches.

Stitched on Weeks Dye Works 30ct linen in Crescent Colours, Gentle Art Sampler Threads, Weeks and DMCs, it would be awesome hanging in the Family Room. (we even had fun remembering our prepositional phrases in grade school! Offered as the chart. | |

 Sailing, Sailing 'Sailing, Sailing over the Bounding Main...' I know the tune, but haven't a clue what the rest of the words are!!! (Did Sylvester and Tweetie sing it, too?) Little House brings us a neat piece that needs to hang anywhere near water!!! Your beach house somewhere exotic, accenting your nautical-flavored samplers, (or even a bathroom!!!)

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 AmericaThis 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 BeginningA 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!!!! | |

Very tailored, neat and even... this piece has a restful balance to it! Offered as the chart... one of two new ones today. | |
