A Little Sunshinefrom Madame Chantilly Crabs dressed in their summer stripes enjoying lemonade! What a cute summer scene! By Madame Chantilly, these little guys look crisp and clean - contemporary yet a little retro. Stitched on a light blue background with regular DMC... I see 4 bands in the design - stitch just one of them, or do the whole design. Measures 195 x 151, so finishes a generous 11 x 8 on 18/36 ct! | ||||
 Hello America Teresa Kogut has a new book - stuffed with 7 cute Americana designs! Pictured is the cover... and then the 7 included designs.

 Stitcher's Cat from Cotton Pixels This is the CUTEST! It coordinates with Strawberry Thief! Our little black kitty is perched atop her tomato pin cushion. Surrounded by a spool border, the chart comes with a tiny 2-piece wooden hoop - you can see it in the pic. You do a little bit of stitching, put IT into the hoop, and attach to the main piece! When you're finished, you'll have a darling pin cushion because this measures just 3-1/2 inches on 32ct! | ||||
 Strawberry Thief from Cotton Pixels Oh my gosh, this is the sweetest design! The thief-cat is BEADS and so are the strawberries! Presented as a color chart ($9), this finishes approx 3-1/2 inches on 32ct. The blackbirds on the edges are watching that darling little black cat - who is stitched with Mill Hill petite glass beads - stealing a plump strawberry - which is also stitched in beads! There are some straight stitches on leaves for a little more interest - making this whole thing tiny and precious! Stitched on a light blue 32ct - you'll need that size - or 36 - to fit the beads (42014, 42031 and 42013.) | ||||

 Tam's Creations - A Hand-Stitched Baseball Cap! Isn't this the most fun thing?

What a fun thing for a super-stitcher to wear... and what a fun thing to make for a stitcher friend who might need a little lift in her life! Presented as a chart. | ||||

 Ocean Pearl from The Tiny Modernist Tiny Modernist has finally finished her 3-part series of The Ocean Pearl.

OP is stitched on 28ct Stoney Point Linen - a muted soft green shade. Measuring 129 x 180, it finishes approx 9 x 13 on the 28. You get a cute mermaid, that Pirate Sea Captain, and their Treasure Chest of gold and jewels. The 'glass globe' is full of a busy underwater community of whale, octopus, turtle, star and jelly fish - all stitched in bright, whimsical and happy colors of DMC. I need to buy a beach-condo so I can stitch this and have a place to hang it! | ||||
 
 This is a pretty set of very inspirational designs, also from Anabella's, each measuring just 84 x 56 - or 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 on 32ct.

 Summer Story from Pickle Barrel Designs Summer only looks this good if you have a place on the water!

| ||||
Lobstah Dinnah Ornamentfrom The Elegant Thread This is the CUTEST thing! By The Elegant Thread, stitch this cute little red lobster - he's 2 x 3 - and put him inside his mesh cage - he's ready to bring home for dinner! (Or you can hang him on your Christmas Tree, or perch him somewhere in your kitchen!) Presented as a complete kit, you are stitching him over one thread on 22ct hand-dyed aqua blue linen. It's a pretty coarse weave, so it's not hard to see. Next, sew him together into a little pillow - the red and cream checkered backing fabric and interfacing are included. Then, roll the plastic mesh - included - into his trap, tie him inside there with the bit of included twine... and you're finished! This is SO creative and cute... I'm in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma... I've never set lobster traps in my life, but even I know this is *a winnah!* | ||||
Millie Melon Eater and Peter Pumpkin Eaterfrom Ingleside Imaginarium Oh my gosh, these are the CUTEST little opossoms enjoying fruits of the season! Little baby Millie has been munching on her sweet summer melon... and I bet she's nice and cool sitting right in it! Peter looks as pleased as pie... he's so lucky that he ran into an unattended pumpkin on someone's front porch! (We had something eat all our pumpkins we left outside last Fall ... I bet we made our yard critters as happy as these!) Anyway, presented as charts, each finishes about 4-1/2 x 5-1/2 on 32ct linen, and uses both DMC and a smattering of hand-dyed flosses. I think these are charming and so unique, just love 'em! | ||||

Might be just the perfect gift for someone you know... fridge magnet, desk stand-up? Presented as a single chart by Meridian Designs. | ||||
Viva la Vida from Jardin PriveBy Jardin Prive, this is a super-fun checkerboard of Summertime! I thought I'd put it up on 'Just Arrived' to give you an 'out-of-season-jolt!' Remember summertime, green grass, Popsicles and flowers? This colorful piece offers all that inside it's wildflower border - you even get the summer road trip from the mountains to the beach down at the bottom. 64 Tiny blocks - only 19 x 19 stitches - each has either an alphabet letter or tiny motif inside. Everything summer is in here, along with several blocks of cross stitch and needlework stuff - a hoop, scissors, spool of thread, floss bobbin, and buttons. Stitched with regular DMC floss, the whole thing measures 210 in stitch count - or a serious 11-1/2 inches on 18ct. Now... think about deconstructing this - the borders would make rally cute windowsill 'hotdogs!' All those tiny squares would make fun cubes, or scissor fobs... you could spell someone's name and add a few pictures... it can take you till summer to figure out all the different ways you can have fun with this one! | ||||
Summer and Beachfrom Madame Chantilly These two just go together, don't they? A pair of 'signs' with coordinating mini-cushions, I think you need to buy a beach house to display these in after they're stitched! Soft lettering, both feature a smiling little crab. Mermaid on one, a lighthouse on the other, they care coded for DMC and will look good on a natural or oatmeal-ly colored background fabric. The larger designs will finish approx 11 x 6, while the little cushion designs are just 2-1/2 inches! | ||||
 A trip to Italy via your Needle! from Artmishka Cross Stitch Isn't this a charming set of 4 small designs? By Artmishka Cross Stitch... directly from Italy... I just love them! Presented as 4 individual charts - each measures 68 to 71 stitches - so just about 4 inches in size on 18/36ct. Coded for DMC, she has provided you with two charts in each - one without the backstitches, so you can SEE the regular crosses on the charts, and then the second chart with backstitch placement. Just makes me want to go to Italy! | ||||
 Broad Stripes and Bright Stars from Teresa Kogut!!! Teresa Kogut has released a beautiful new book featuring 7 of her original Americana designs. Full of gorgeous project pics, the charts are huge and in full color. Everything is coded for hand-dyed floss and DMC, and every page is prettier than the last. All the designs are featured in the cover picture, so you know what's inside. Teresa has designed a line of fabric: Bright Stars by Riley Blake Designs which releases in the Spring of 2023. The watercolor art in this book is taken from that new fabric line! | ||||
 
The American Trilogyfrom Twin Peak Primitives This is a really neat 'retro-inspired' designs to celebrate America! The Twin Peak girls are from The Netherlands... and I usually think the designers from other countries don't always 'get' our 'Americana Flavor'... but these are pretty good! Charts are large, and in addition to the black and white version, you get a complete color version as well. Available separately or all three together in one leaflet... choose just your favorite one or two... or do all three for a really nice trio presentation!
| ||||
 Founding Promises from Silver Creek Samplers *Equality, Justine & Hope* - This one promises all really good things our Founding Fathers wanted for us! Finishes approx 3-1.2 x 5 on 36ct, and is coded for DMC. | ||||

Patriotic Parade from Petal PusherHere's the next season of the same darling farm animals all decked out for their annual parade! They are the same pig, cow, horse, sheep and chickens. Just like Halloween Hoedown and Holiday Hoedown... these little guys all come in individual charts, but can be stitched together. Just the cutest, you'll love the names too: Uncle Ham, Moo-other of Freedom, Ewe Lil' Firecracker, Patriot Reins and Chicks on Parade!

Presenting Red White & Bloom from With Thy Needle & thread Brenda Gervais has released info about her next set of *seasonal smalls* - they companion Love Notes and Jelly Bean jubilee. Red White and Bloom includes a Lady Liberty, Uncle Sam, busy little bumbler bees, cheery sunflowers and even a family of eagles. All the designs are small, but Brenda promises that they'll make a big statement when you display them together in a tray or basket. (She says it is delightfully fun to find little trinkets and decorations to include with the cushions because it really makes your stitching POP!) All garden-y in theme, Lady Liberty has sunflowers as tall as she is, Sam is fashioned to look like a garden Whirli-gig, and his hat is even a planter. A bunting-draped watering can is home to a another sunflower, and the Mom and Dad eagles are perched and waiting for a festive party! Lots of the same colors of flosses are called for in both patterns, so no need to buy more thread. (Onyx, Pea Coat, Red Rocks, Grits, Oscar, Pamlico, Blue Suede, Grecian Gold, 611, 712, 3771 and 3778. | ||||
Happy Birthday America! from With Thy Needle & threadBrenda Gervais is previewing her newest little chart design - a miniature stitched birthday cake to America - featuring a very festive eagle! (But... you could finish this as a small pin cushion as well.) Measuring just 3-1/2 inches round on 36ct linen, it is stitched with bits of DMC floss and hand-dyeds of Grits, Palomino, Loden, Pea Coat, Red Rocks, Blue Suede and Grecian Gold. Brenda is supplying her alphabet-printed linen you see on the drum sides in the chart. The featured trim is by Lady Dot - Vintage Mini Pom, and is available separately. The chart gives sources for the 2 x 4 cardboard 'cake box' form, and the candle-stick wooden 'cake plate' base. Brenda says her finishing instructions will give you a 'prefectly-shaped cake with no wonky bumps or lumps... super easy, and no sewing machine required!' | ||||
 Stitching Summer from Twin Peak Primitives Smell the Sea and feel the Sky - just don't get sand in your stitching bag! This is kind of a fun piece by Twin Peak Primitives... I see three bands of design in here... so lots of possibilities. The top row features spools of thread with those shorebirds, bitty cabanas and the fishermen on them. Notice the clothesline there with the scissors and needles on it? (and the bitty swimsuit!) The crabs are super cute, and the row of whales down below just makes it a busy sea-scene. Presented as a leaflet, the stitch count is 170 x 119 - so 10-1/2 x 7-/12 on 16/32ct, and it calls for regular DMC floss. Easy to add some hand-dyeds , you could do the crabs in metallic, or the tiny swimming fish... or add buttons here and there if your stash 'overfloweth!' | ||||
 Under The Sea from Vintage Needlearts This cute little medley of designs floated our way... a set of 6 cushions that would be cute in a bowl nestled in with seaglass! Take a walk on the beach and collect a few fun things for this little mermaid and her sea turtle, seahorse, star fish and octopus friends. These each finish into 3 x 3 cushions, and the set is coded for 24 different shades of DMC floss. *Swim with me under the sea*... add a few beads for bubbles, or some metallics here or there. Presented as a chart. | ||||
Liberty Hill Farmfrom Summer House Stitche Workes Summer House Stitche Workes has a CHARMING pair of patriotic designs that she has finished into little round stand-up cushions - Pin Drums. Worked on 32ct Weeks Dye Works Tin Roof Linen, these are stitched with a special pack of Sulky Threads. When you have stitched these two pieces... you'll STILL have enough thread left to stitch Hand's On's Memorial Day piece!! The girls planned their designs this way - and best of all the thread set is only $16.00! The larger drum is 159 x 64 - and the smaller is 159 x 51. Super-duper-darn-cute... we even ordered the limited edition flower-pin packs to make those three pins poking from the tops! (I think those are little flower-shaped bits of wool that Cathy Habermann has done!) Love those bright colors... go check out Memorial Day, as well! | ||||
The Flagfrom Bent Creek Do you remember this? Bent Creek published it in 1995 - so it's 25 years old! A beautiful little flag, it measures 91 x 65 in stitch count - so 9 x 6 on 10ct, 6 x 4 on 32... or even 2-1/4 x 1-1/2 over one on 40! It uses just DMC of 815, 822 and 823... and the letters from the alphabet make up all the stars. The stripes have no pattern to them - just stitches here and there to get that raggedy flavor! | ||||
 It's a Mermaid Life by Tiny Modernist A darling collection of exciting sea life! Tiny Modernist's 8 x 10 medley is stitched on anything aqua-colored that you want. It features the cutest mermaids, fish, crabs, whales, seahorses, even volcanos and a pirate ship! You could add sparkly beads for the bubbles, lots of metallics in the fish and mermaids... it's just a fun little piece! Presented as a 6 x 9 full color chart. | ||||
 Ocean Air, Salty Hair from Imaginating This would be so cute in a girly bathroom, or on the wall of a cheerful and bright beach house! Stitched on white or whatever, in 19 shades of DMC, it finishes approx 8 x 11 on 14/28ct. Dress it up with metallics and beads, or cute sea-shore charms... for SURE their belly buttons need to be gold beads! Just a cute overall design! | ||||
 Sea Creature Squared from Imaginating These are darling 4 x 4 squares of 'fishy things' that we smiled at! The pattern calls for Tropical Blue fabric - you can see that in the background... BUTTTTT wow, we have some white/opalescents that would be great too. THEN, stitch these in sparkling metallics! Think about 18ct linen, and using Rainbow Gallery's metallic ribbons or nylon threads - add opalescent to the bubbles in the backgrounds --or even beads. Each design is super-simple, but so cute for a children's bathroom decoration... but you could always stitch the shark and make him a refrigerator magnet! | ||||
 Sizzlin' Summertime Carnival from Tempting Tangles By Tempting Tangles Designs, we don't see a lot of cute carnival designs, so this caught my eye! Measuring 144 stitches square, it'll finish 9 x 9 on 32ct. Coded for DMC, it'd be fun to add some beads and metallics to this - it's just a super-happy piece! | ||||
 The New 2019 Patriotic Quartet Series This will be a favorite series of bead kits! Mill Hill describes their new designs; America is *The Land of the Free,* and *Home of the Brave,* where we are entitled to *Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness* and all these truths are represented with the *Stars and Stripes* of our flag, which we proudly fly. Kits of 14ct Aida (you can sub 28ct linen or Lugana if you like), DMC floss, Mill Hill beads (not as many as the regular Button and Beaded kits), needles and chart -- each finishes approx 5 x 5 in size. The black frames are available separately. Just really CLASSIC! | ||||

| ||||
 Where Liberty Dwells from Heartstring Samplery Heartstrings Samplery has a fun little design that speaks Patriotic, but with pretty 'samplery' flowers and vines. Measuring about 4 x 15, Beth has it finished into a 'Huswife' - a roll that features a lining of pockets to store sewing implements. It'd make a pretty basket band... and a neat long pin cushion as well to perch on a widow sill. Coded for Weeks hand-dyed flosses. | ||||
Camp Essentialsfrom Imaginating Well, not something you'd stitch for the family tent... but maybe the camper or the cabin? Just a fun little piece that maybe can commemorate a special trip or weekend... or even a whole summer? Presented in leaflet format, this finishes 6 x 13 on 14/28ct. DMC. | ||||
Home of the Free Sewing Set from Needlemade DesignsThis is a STUNNING set of designs! By Needlemade Designs, it features a box-top design, tiny pin mattress, and even tinier scissor fob! Proceeds from the sales of this chart are being donated to the Wounded Warrior Project -- Designer Linda Vinson offers insight about that on the back of her chart. She has designed this amazing Home of the Free waving flag piece to be framed or grace the top of a small box. Worked on 28ct linen over one thread with Crescent Colours' Belle Soie Silks of Tulip, Blue Lagoon, Oatmeal Scone, Chocolat and Scarecrow, the main design measures approx 100 x 60 stitches. (The painted box in the pic is from JoAnn's. It includes 6 little round boxes inside that Linda has made into firecracker boxes!!! There is a white resin pre-made box shown on the back cover -- as an alternative to finishing your own.) Next, is the tiny mattress -- it features E Pluribus Unum on one side, and the American Eagle on the other -- all in 35 x 40 stitches. Finally, the EXQUISITE little fob rounds out the set -- it is 20 x 20 stitches -- so approx 2/3 of an inch in size! Absolutely enchanting! Color pics are included in the directions for mattress assembly, including that rouched ribbon edging, making the interior firecracker boxes, and even painting the 4 x 5 paper mache' box from the craft chain store. | ||||
Life is a Beach from Queenstown SamplersWatch out for the Crabs! This is an oldie-but-goodie design that we used to carry, and then it kind of faded away. Re-discovered, I think it's great! Offered as a chart, I am sure some of you have the perfect spot to hang it... it just makes me smile!!! Charted for silk or DMC, on 36ct it finishes approx 6 x 8. Choose any fabric you like, and think about some black beads for the eyes! | ||||
For Spacious Skies from Heartstring SampleryHeartstrings Samplery has a new design -- For Spacious Skies -- that 'pops' with patriotic red colors. Work it on anything you like -- stitch count is 110 x 100. Weeks flosses of Grits, Schneckley, Palomino, Grape Vine and Collards along with Sampler Threads of Brethren Blue, Pomegranate, Endive and Ruby Slipper -- I just love the red color and the green leaves against the light fabric. The pattern of the leaves is small and repeating -- just like the bricks on the house -- it all has a neat balance to it. Offered as the chart. | ||||
Patriotic Mantel is Finished! from Bent Creek Bent Creek has sent the third and final design in this 3-part piece -- just like all the rest of their Mantel designs -- the whole thing finishes approx 10 x 22. Offered as three separate kits, the first part had the 18ct Natural Linen cut in it, along with threads and the pattern for the left-hand 1/3 of the design, as well as the bottom festoons. Next, came part two -- it has the bird, star and part of the flag along with threads. Finally, this part - #3 - has the rest of the house and flag, Uncle Sam and the Sign and threads for those. Each of the three parts can stand alone -- but they are fun joined together. Super easy to stitch on the 18ct with #5 Pearl Cotton -- it'll stitch in no time at all!! | ||||
 Serenity Harbor - The Complete Piece from By the Bay Needleart This charming scene was designed in 2014. Just as Harbor Haven, it was designed as a 12-part stitch-along thing. We have everything together now in one set... so you're good to go. TONS of information inside about thread colors, fabric choices, but basically, the entire stitch count is 171 x 557 - so a commanding 6 x 20 on 14/28ct. Lots of stitches, this is so pretty when it's finished... several of our ladies have stitched it! | ||||
Summertime from Cuore e BatticuoreThis is delightful, and I just HAVE to share it with you! A Summer Seaside Scene, I'm not sure what my favorite design element is in this. The Little Gnomes with their pointy hats... going swimming??? The umbrella is delightful, the tiny flags are festive. The hearts in the air are cute, the little swimmer on the polka-dot innertube is precious -- see her braids trailing behind? I like the beach shack and the gulls perched everywhere... but I think the itsy-bitsy fish in his bowl -- with his OWN little pointy hat -- is so funny. This has a stitch count of 285 x 157 and will finish approx 18 x 10 on 32ct Vintage Country Mocha Linen. Beautifully charted in color, the verse is presented in both English and Italian, and it calls for DMC floss. I think it's just the cutest thing... very different and endearing! Offered as a chart. | ||||
On The Beach from Madame ChantillyThis is a sweet summer scene that I couldn't resist, brought to us by Madame Chantilly. A generous 236 x 102 stitches, it'll finish approx 17 x 7 on 14/28 fabric... the picture was stitched on Natural... but a light blue or yellow would be pretty as well. All the beach cabanas are lined up, the seagulls are swirling, the crabs are waiting in the water, and the tiny airplane in the sky is advertising that it's the HOLIDAY! Something about it makes me think of summer vacations of years ago. Add some gull buttons, a tiny shell or two, maybe a bit of metallic on the plane, hand-dyeds for the rocks, Simply Wool for the gulls, even some bitty black beads for the crab eyes! Offered as a chart. | ||||

Flag of Stars from Bent CreekBent Creek has a new kit -- a red, white and blue confection of stars that make up a flag.

I don't see one in my package! Something fun to finish in a jiff! | ||||

Your two reds give you that color play on there. Offered as a small kit, you get the chart, Simply Wools, buttons and the blue wool for the little heart, and red for the case lining. Jeannette added her own decorative brass button to the front of the case -- that is not included -- but she suggests something special from your stash that you like better! A lovely small project with lots of stitching and color impact! | ||||
 E. Pluribus Unum from Summer House Stitche Workes So classic in design... this is stitched over one on 28ct hand-dyed Straw/Gingham linen in only one color -- Weeks Kohl hand-dyed floss. Measuring approx 7-1/2 x 8 -- this will make quite a visual statement in your surroundings. You can choose the same gingham linen in 28ct and work this over two threads instead -- you've just create a larger piece at 13-1/2 x 16. Offered as a chart -- this is very clear and looks like it'll be fun to work on! | ||||
 Sweet Liber-Tea from Silver Creek Samplers Six shades of Gentle Art Sampler Threads bring this cute design to life. *Forever we'll be strong and free, Sweet cup of Liber-Tea.* Just something fun by Silver Creek Samplers, this measures 66 x 114 stitches. Cute finished as a sandwich-sign stand-up or a little fabric wallhanging quilt! | ||||
From Every Mountainside from Priscilla's PocketHere's another endearing Patriotic design we just had to have! By Priscilla's Pocket, stitch the little girl waving her flag over one on 40ct. (sorry about that...!) She is worked in Crescent Colour's Belle Soie Silks -- 8 different colors in this! She measures a mite 1-1/2 x 2-3/4. Then, mount her onto this cool, handmade wooden hornbook thread palette. It measures only 4 x 4 with a two-nch handle. Really pretty... who wouldn't love to have this??? Offered as the chart, with horn book separately... in case you want to stitch it on something larger and finish it a different way. | ||||
One Nation from ByGone StitchesWow... this is a neat piece! It's a flag of the United States... but the stripes are made up of the names of the states, in the order in which they joined The Union! Offered as a chart, the stitch count on this piece is a generous 210 x 400 -- 13 x 25 on 32ct! Stitched in ONLY Crescent's Cupid, Blacksmith Blue and Antique Lace hand dyed colors, it's just stunning! The stars are all Cross Stitches... but you could Satin Stitch them if you like. (As a bonus... there is a listing inside of the actual dates each state joined the Union -- kind of fun trivia to know!) A lovely piece for a family room, classroom, library or office! | ||||
Sailing Through Life from Heaven and EarthFrom the original artwork of Jane Wooster Scott... this is exquisitely charted by Heaven & Earth Designs! Absolutely HUGE, solid stitching, and breathtaking in presentation... we have several other really cool Summer and Patriotic scenes like this one, to enjoy! Definitely a family heirloom -- if you *live through the stitching!* -- these lovely Summer and Patriotic designs are simply a treat for your *Wanna Stitch Someday Stash!* Measures 450 x 379. | ||||
Betsy from Sheepish DesignsOh wow... we have had a retired model of this in the back room of the shop for years and years! I had thought we couldn't get the pattern anymore, but I loved the stitched model so much, I couldn't part with it. Then... MAGIC! By Sheepish Designs, this is Betsy Ross stitching the first American flag. She's in her garden of sheep, a peacock, birds, flowers and even a squirrel up there in the tree. Coded for silks or DMC, it uses only Cross stitch and finishes approx 4-1/4 x 12-1/2 on 35ct. I'm not sure what part of it has the overwhelming appeal that it does... but over the years several gals have tried to buy the model, and were always disappointed that we had no chart! So, we present Betsy, in chart format, probably till we run out again!! | ||||
Awaken the Day from Mill HillMill Hill has licensed the artwork of Jim Shore and charted his designs into cross stitch! The first three publications are here, and they are stunning! Offered in leaflet form, each is stitched with DMC flosses and embellished with Mill Hill beads and MH's Jim Shore buttons. Santa's workshop finishes approx 12 x 15, Harvest Trio finishes approx 5 x 12, and Awaken finishes approx 8 x 10. So colorful and pretty, we've packaged the beads and buttons together if you need them! | ||||
Summer Snapperland from Bent CreekThe last in the Summer Snapperland set is finally here!The first design is darling... it's a tiny beach house, complete with a whale weathervane and little red crab on the sandy beach! Offered as the small individual card, there are snap embellishments included for the each design. As with Spring and Winter Snapperland, Bent Creek has designed a really neat border chart, so that you can stitch all four designs in this mini-set as one bigger design. That border design reads, 'Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind you.' Along with the sunshine and shells, there are seahorses in the border design as well, and the special embellishment package contains more snaps, clay sand dollars and a sea scallop. Stitched on 32ct Rue Green Belfast Linen... each design finishes approx 3 x 3. Stitched together with the freebie border, the entire piece finishes approx 5 x 15. SOOO cute! | ||||
Seaside Stitchesfrom Jeannette Douglas One of three stunning new pieces by Jeannette Douglas... Seaside Stitches is full of special stitches, intricate motifs and stitch details, and special threads! Stitched on 32ct Meadow Mist Belfast Linen in 29 different silks, hand-dyeds, metallics and a wool, the thread pack listing is a miniature 'Who's Who' in the world of threads!!! The piece finishes approx 6 x 8 and is shown on the leaflet cover in one of Olde Colonial's exquisite Birdseye Maple Dowry boxes. I can't tell what is my favorite part in all of this... there is a handpainted crab charm, lots of mermaids (with metallic tails), seashells and anchor motifs all stitched over one thread, the ship in the center has chain stitches around it... like a miniature rope. The Soie d'Alger, Silk 'n Colors, Waterlilies, Glorianna Silks, Luminescence, Princess Perle Petite, Lorikeet and Needlepoint Silks in here are a luscious blend of light, medium and dark corals, seaside blues and greens, rich jewel green and blue metallic, soft sand browns and creams... it is truly a miniature work of needleart! Offered as the leaflet with threads and embellishments, linen and box are offered separately. | ||||
The Sunshine State Samplerfrom Jeannette Douglas Flamingoes, sailboats, palm trees, orchid and orange blossoms, hibiscus and flip-flops, crabs and fish... the only thing missing from this delightful tropical sampler is the margarita drink in the pineapple -- complete with the little paper umbrella!!! What a fun thing to stitch to remember a vacation, or to put in your sun-room, or your house in the Bahamas!!! Designed by Jeannette Douglas, this is offered as the leaflet with all the necessary threads and embellishments. It finishes approx 4 x 11 on 32ct Meadow Mist Belfast Linen. The silks and overdyeds are rich, bright pinks, aquas, lime greens and yellow. The tiny embellishments include a scallop, starfish and palm trees. Lots of special stitches... go somewhere warm and sunny for vacation, and make THIS your vacation project! (Remember how certain projects stand out in your mind? You remember that you were stitching something in particular when something important was happening in your life... you always remember that time in your life when you look at that piece.) If you're not going to Florida, but somewhere else sunny and tropical, then leave off the place or substitute your destination. This is your summer 2006 sampler! | ||||
Heart of Americafrom Little House Needleworks Quite a commanding piece, this is a medley of patriotic designs by Little House Needleworks that fits beautifully together nestled in a Crescent Colours frame.

Finishing approx 11 x 13 on the 30ct, it fits into Crescent's navy blue frame beautifully. It's framed in The Family Tree Co's (a busy little division of Crescent Colours!) Beatrice 12 x 15 frame, with their 'timeworn' finish in the 'blackbird' color. Perfect! Great colors, lots of color definition, a VERY nice piece... this is a *definite!* | ||||
