You get to sit comfortably and touch and feel absolutely everything we brought home. Make a nice pile; we'll hunt and gather for you, and ZIP ZAP you leave with a new bundle of Treasure!
New From Under the Garden Moon A Child is Born and The Bee's Knees Cross Stitch. Both charts, we know nothing about them, but they both look pretty enticing! New from Stitchy Prose Woodland Welcome - A Baby Announcement. Here's a neat woodland theme for a baby sampler! 80 x 288, It finishes 4-1/2 x 16 on 18/36ct, and is coded for DMC.Chart runs $12.00 Bless You Evermore - A really nice piece to hang just about anywhere in your home, the Scots believe that if you finish your 'Blessings Sampler' by the end of January, you'll have good luck and blessings throughout the year. Your background fabric can be anything... it kind of hard to tell the floss colors in this because of the strong fabric shade... so look it over, and see what your decor can handle. Measures 176 x 128 - so finishes 10 x 7 on 18/36. If Unbearable - Please go to the woods! Holly describes this as the perfect stitch for somebody that needs a little more then the average Snickers bar! Finishes a mere 6-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 18/36ct and is coded for DMC.		Elvis! from December Stitches - Well... probably some of you can pass this little guy up, but for some others, he's a MUST HAVE! Finished any number of ways, you get the framed version with his name in 'lights' (which would be fun in metallic!), or you can make him a little stand-up complete with his guitar! A little unusual, and a little out there, but kind of cute! Elvis stands 95 stitches high and this set is stitched on 28ct Mushroom Lugana. All three design elements are in the chart which runs $12.00. Gift - The next Bauble design from Wildflower Stitching - joining Hope, Peace, Love and Joy I believe... this one is done in a deep Royal Purple color. Choose whichever colors you want for any of these, it measures 71 x 71, just like all the others in the set. Full size chart runs $8.00

Fun New Designs by Una Buena Pieza Seasons Towns - So colorful and fun, this is hard to pass by. Measuring 130 inches in diameter, you're going to use half the colors in your floss box for this delightful piece, 4 little town in all the seasons. Simply mounted in a wooden hoop - you'd need a 9-inch hoop for a 32ct finish - leaflet, $12.00. Seasons Gardens - The next rectangular piece, this one is full of trees and critters of it's season. These pieces are fun to split up into drums, fobs and always pic cushions. Think outside the 'rectangle' a little and find the hidden things in here to make something fun. Another one that uses half the colors in your floss box! Leaflet $12.00 Lewis Carroll - I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours. A quote by Lewis Carroll, this is a fun piece. We can tell by the pic that all the motifs on the bottom half are upside down! (But I can't tell what most of them are anyway - will have to wait for this chart to come!) Leaflet, DMC flosses, $12.00		Cats - By Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks I don't know anything about this chart but I bought it anyway 'cause I think it's dynamite! Stitch count is 138 x 194 - so pretty big at 8-1/2 x 12 on 16/32ct. I imagine DMC floss, and I think these would break up beautifully into individual pin cushions for a really fun filled bowl. You could even grab some Simply Wool by Gentle Art to stitch some of them!

With Thy Needle and Thread's Market Releases for March 2025
Judy Whitman's New 2025 Releases are Really Pretty! A-Round Bees - Another of her cute round Country French-inspired designs, this one features bees. She's chosen an Antique White fabric background and Classic Colorwork's Queen Bee hand-dyed floss. I think the floss has enough variation to really make this soft and pretty... it really looks like there are several different colors used. Presented in her small chart format. $12.00 French Baby Samplers - Judy has compiled and re-printed 8 of her previous Country French animals she'd done as baby samplers into this 5 x 8-1/2 booklet. Full color pics of each design, multiple fabric and finishing options, alphabet and numeral charts provided for personalization, I see ducks, a rocking horse, rabbits, teddy bear, stork, elephant, and the carriage. Booklet runs $22.00. With Gratitude - 'Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.' A beautiful, classic floral with a very vintage feel, this 10 x 6 piece would be perfect hanging in a guest room or hallway. This is a half-sized leaflet that unfolds into a 11 x 16 huge chart, and it features nice close-up pics of the motifs and complete sampler. Tthe design is done on 36ct with Classic and Weeks hand-dyed flosses - DMC conversions provided. Stitch count is 186 x 108... just peaceful! $14.00 Le Petite Lettres - Another classic JBW design... nobody can say Judy doesn't like alphabets! This one's a little looser and less organized than most of her others - all the borders and leaves in here, it's a bit more challenging to find all the letters - and that makes it fun and interesting! She's done it in two different colorways and suggests you can choose any you want - especially coordinating single hand-dyed thread color to your fabric. Maybe honey-yellow, or soft sage greens? Small chart that unfolds out into a long piece - 5-1/2 x 16 chart. Stitch count on this is 217 x 85, so it will finish a generous and approximate 12 x 5 on 36ct! $16.00 Lucia's Sewing Smalls - Four designs are included in this tri-fold small chart. You get the scissor fob, needle and scissor cases and pin drum. I think the squatty little pin drum is my favorite - especially with the herringbone decorative stitching around the top. DMC for everything... choose pretty finishing fabric... remember you don't HAVE t finish everything in the same shapes shown... you CAN do anything else you want! Chart $14.00
The New Designs from Shakespeare's Peddler! Kindness Makes Friends - Theresa says, 'Big brick house, strawberry borders, blocky alphabets and friendly quilting motifs are quintessential elements of a sampler to stand the test of time.' Measuring 144 x 234 and finishing 8 x 13 on 36ct, it's stitched with a medley of hand-dyeds and DMC. Chart runs $18.00 Flowers That Bloom - Originally published in the Spring 2024 Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher Magazine, the verse is from a Gilbert & Sullivan song. Chart $12.00 People Everywhere - Stitch count is 143 x 80 - a mixture of Sampler Threads and DMC, chart runs $12.00. Summer Sampler Fragment - Theresa likes partial areas of samplers framed. She's releasing 4 designs - seasonal in flavor - that are each 'fragments' of a whole sampler. Nothing is really missing, because she'd designed them that way - kind of teases your brain doesn't it? Summer Sampler measures 124 x 125 - choose a dark background fabric for the contrast; she's done all 4 of these on the same fabric, so plan accordingly. Chart $12.00. Spring Sampler Fragment - The next partial sampler, again 124 x 125 (all 4 will be the same size) in stitch count. Meant to look incomplete, as often old samplers are cut up or damaged over time, this one has lost half it's alphabet! Chart $12.00. Hope - Inspiration comes from unusual places. Theresa has had this frame and charted her verse for the center from an old sampler. She had to keep adding motifs until she ran out of room and filled the frame. She likes her tomato pin cushion and strawberry emery on here, and didn't want the colors in her Spring-flavored piece to be too 'jelly beany' or too 'beach towely!' Looks like a fun little piece! Various hand-dyeds or DMC floss, chart runs $12.00. Joy - Theresa did this for Gentle Art this season as a Market Exclusive. It uses some limited edition threads available now. She says she's going to release this again later this fall - but I have no idea what the floss status will be. Measures 93 x 146 - so 5 x 8 on 36ct. Chart $12.00 Pennsylvania Christmas Birds - A third creamy bird design against a rich red fabric background - evidentally these designs are inspired by Pennsylvania-German kitchen towels. Chart $12.00

Cute Cushions for the Seasons by LuHu Stitches Aren't these colorful and happy? 4 Separate charts for 4 small cushions. I think it's the detailing in the black backstitching that I find enchanting.

A couple of fun pieces by Ink Circles Sewing Bird - Little birds, buttons, spools and trailing threads to make the vines; I think the corners kind of look like scissors! Classic Colorworks flosses on Weeks hand-dyed linen, the chart runs $14.00 The Forest for the Trees - This is just plain pretty! I have no information except Classic hand-dyeds on 32, chart at $14. I think just taking a cut-out square area of this and making IT into a pin cushion would be stunning. Let your stitching run all the way to the edge of the cushion... this is so beautifully busy. You could do a whole set of 5 or 6 and none would be the same, but they'd match anyway!	Springtime Snippets by Little Robin is coming! Robin of Little Robin is finishing her neat seasonal series of coverlet cushions. We've had Slightly Spooky, Merry Minis, Little Liberties and now Springtime Snippets.

The latest in Paulette's tribute to cute little animals... they finish the same size as all the rest like them. Weeks, Classic and DMC... HOW can she keep doing these, and have each one come out cuter than the last? Tomato Hill - A sweet little cushion design, Paulette has a grandson who LOVES to pilfer her cherry tomatoes from the garden, so she has to stitch her tomatoes instead!

The first in Cathy's new Pins and Needles series of designs (no auto yet - not enough details) all 4 designs are in the chart. First is a two-sided stuffed cushion - it features finishing that provides a pocket on the back for needles and scissors. The other companion design is a two-sided needlebook stitched on 18ct perforated paper and joined together with wool Very pretty and creative. Chart $14.00 Call Me Crafty - 'Like it's a bad thing!' This is the first of three themed designs - just like Cathy's Lick the Bowl Kitchen series and her Laundry series. There will be a 4th bonus chart too... not sure when that releases.

Chart $12.00 The Stitching Parliament - All 4 little owls in one chart, Cathy has stitched the stand-ups on 20ct Lambswool Linen to make them about 4 x 5 each!
