New Primrose Cottage March 2024 Releases Spring Quaker - The newest little Quaker-inspired pin cushion by Primrose... this one is stitched with Classic's Blooming Crocus hand-dyed floss. Great debates out there... the chart calls for three skeins but everyone uses less than one for these... anyway, lovely like the rest! If we don't have Blooming Crocus, can we sub another pretty purple, or maybe you can find one in your stash? 4th of July Rules - Like their other seasonal 'rule' designs, this one tells you all the things you have to do on the 4th of July! Fly Old Glory... Remember the Fallen... Go to the Parade... Watch the Fireworks and Celebrate Freedom! 64 x 290 In stitch count, it finishes 4 x 18 on 32ct. Stitched with regular DMC, it's just a fun piece! Patriotic Quaker - The next little seasonal pincushion, stitch this with DMC or hand-dyeds... it finishes about 5 x 5 on 32ct. Coordinates with the little Seasonal Quakers. Red, White and Blue Quilt - Same colors as the Patriotic Quaker - Cherry Cobbler, Old Lace and Stargazing - or DMCs - this one is smaller at 65 stitches square. Just fun to stitch! 12 Monthly Minis - You get all 12 seasonal cushion designs in this leaflet! Each one is a delightful 39 x 39 in size - so teeny 2 x 2's on 32ct! Using a slew (35 colors) of DMC - get out all your fun trims for finishing! I think the January snowmen are darling. So... $2/design! Snowman 2024 - He's charming! A small card design, he's perched in a pomegranate pot, and happy it's snowing out there! 77 x 68 Is his stitch count. Hand-dyeds or DMC.
Little White Christmas, Valentine's Day Quaker, Warm Winter Wishes and Sip, Stitch Repeat Primrose Cottage has released new designs in time for Valentine's and a little winter stitching. All presented as small charts, Valentine Quaker coordinates with the rest of their small Quaker-inspired cushion designs. Stitched in just one hand-dyed color, this one features Ripe Melon by Classic Colorworks, you'll need 3 skeins of whatever you choose. Warm Winter and Sip, Stitch are both done with reds and greens... but we think frosty blues would be pretty for Warm Winter... and any of YOUR favorite colors would work for Sip Stitch Repeat. Charts are coded for DMC, so changes to hand-dyeds are really easy. Fabrics can be your 'faves' as well!

Primrose Cottage Stitches is in a Fall Mood! Several new Arrivals: Leaves of Autumn - A full-sized leaflet, this finishes approx 10-1/2 x 7 on 32ct. It is coded for Color & Cotton hand-dyed floss, but if you have others in your stash, Google Color & Cotton conversions to DMC. (gives you a color benchmark.) Then, Google DMC to the other thread companies you want to use. It's quite an eye opening experience because across all the conversions, you really do see lots of color differences. Getting that DMC # makes all the difference in choosing alternative colors. Autumn on the Farm - Another full-sized leaflet, this design measures a whopping 11 x 6 on 32ct Country Vintage Mocha linen. Very colorful, you'll need 4 skeins of Cherry Cobbler hand-dyed floss for this (There is a lot of solid stitching in this.)
