Festive Designs by Quaint Rose Needlearts! We just love Macey's designs because of the two-fabric idea, and her big, bold subject motifs. Reindeer Tree Farm - All the reindeer are out in the tree lot offering their favorite trees and wreaths. The lot lights are on (you could do those in metallic gold or colors), and the snow is falling (you could do that in opalescent!). Stitched on a beige and a second piece of mangy green, this is done with Weeks and Classic hand-dyed flosses and finishes about 7-1/2 x 7. You stitch the two pieces individually, then join them and add the bigger 'X' stitches to make it look hand-done (which is really IS!). Don't miss the tiny ornament trimming the top by the bow. Chart runs $13.00. Vixen Mint Co - Wow... what an eyecatching design! I love both halves of it. OK... do the whole thing, or just the deer, or just the barn... everything about this is contemporary, fun and artsy! Stitched with Weeks hand-dyed flosses, with a DMC conversion, it measures 139 x 222 - so 8 x 12 on 18/36ct, or less than that if you split it up. Chart runs $17.50 Jolly Ole Fellow - Just the CUTEST! We love love the garland, the fireplace is old fashioned and definitely ready for Santa. Santa himself is radiant! He's plump, his beard has lots of curls and 'fluff' on it, and he has cookie and cocoa in hand! Measuring 115 x 147, he'll finish about 6-1/2 x 8 on 18/36. That beard features Rainbow Gallery's Wisper in White and Ecru - so do you have a Nap Raiser Brush to fluff that thread when you're finished? We have the chart, Wisper (W88 and W89 - $3.25 each) and the brushes! Retro Christmas - Mixed Media - This companions Stitching Paraphenalia! You work on the gorgeous green background fabric, but the rest is done on 18ct white perforated paper and attached on there! Did you know you can color the paper with a Sharpie, or spray it with coffee or tea to color or stain it? Anyway, words of the season are interrupted by the cutest tiny motifs of the house-in-the-globe, gingerbread men and cups of cocoa. She's used some hand-dyed cottons in here, a little Simply Wool and some Mill Hill beads! Chart runs $14.00... and we have the 18ct paper!
Christmas Animals in Pants Well, these are the cutest! We have Poinsettia Pigeon, Holly Hedgehog and Caroling Caribou dressed in their little Holiday Pants - all having Christmas fun! Worked on a smokey blue background, each measures 70 in stitch count. We have ornament backers from Cherry Blossom Designs that will fit these. The chart includes all three animal designs. $12.00
Super Splashes of Color in These Quaint Rose Offerings! Blackbird Inn - LOVE THIS! The bird is kind of prominent... so you decide on that... but wow, look at that glorious sunflower garden, the beautiful deep lawn and of course the awesome house. I think the geometrics in the flowers are my favorite part. Measuring 217 x 243, she has used TWO different fabrics for this - lighter for the top, and a darker for the lawn. Stitched with a medley of hand-dyeds, it's stunning. Chart runs $20.00 Acorn Thieves - Features squirrels gathering their favorite foods. Patterns for 4 designs included - there is a squirrel mattress 99 x 79, two little pillow cushions, and an acorn-shaped needle book. There is a pop of blue in each, and the squirrels have really fun little sticky-up ears. Chart $16.00 Meow O Ween - Choose a fun background fabric for these - they are all stitched with only black hand-dyed and white floss. See the PURR pins? Those are little bits of perforated paper! Chart for all three patterns plus the pins runs $16.00 Stitching Paraphernalia - A mixed media piece! The background of this - with the block lettering of stitching terms - is done on 36ct fabric. The tomato, scissors and floral blocks you see on here are 18ct perforated paper! You'll be coloring the paper a little - depending on your background fabric - and stitching with DMC and Simply Wool thread. Super cute, the difference between the paper and fabric really catches your eye. Measuring 160 x 150 - the chart runs $14.00 Sunflower Picking - Another cool piece that is done using two different cuts of fabric! The top is Week's Tin Roof Linen, while the bottom is gingham. Coded for Classic hand-dyeds and DMC, this measures 120 x 110, with the wording on there. Chart runs $13.00
Captain Patchy Pelican, Stars, Stripes and MooLinda from Quaint Rose Quaint Rose has been busy designing for the summer season. Captain Patchy Pelican is just the cutest! Part of the scene could be underwater - because there are seaweed plants, swimming fish, and dangling anchors. But, on the beach there is a empty bottle and a lighthouse. Just a super-fun design, Captain is wearing his official hat, very 'at home' on his beach! Presented as a chart, this is coded for DMC or a medley of hand-dyed flosses. Patchy measures 184 x 178 - so quite generous at 10 x 10 on 18/36ct! Chart runs $15.00 Stars, Stripes and MooLinda - Here is another fun animal with a charming oversized basket on their back. Joining Quilting Nanny and Jingle All the Way Deer, this is turning out to be a really cute and colorful set of designs. MooLinda is the Patriotic one, a summer cow. She measures 109 x 175 - and is stitched with DMC or hand-dyeds. Chart runs $13.50 August - Take a Hike! In this set, you get 4 coordinating pieces. The name of the month with a teeny verse finishes about 8 x 2-1/2. Smaller cushion-sized pieces - all 2-1/2 inches on 18/36. In the August example, the 8 refers to the 8th month, and the 31 refers to 31 days in the month. We don't have all the months yet... but I kind of like the idea of turning this into a perpetual calendar. You're getting all the months with really cute motifs appropriate to each... and you're getting all the numbers... see what you can come up with! Anyway, each month is presented in its own chart, and we have only May, June, July and August so far. I don't know her release schedule ...so an auto-ship might be easiest to help keep up with the remaining 8 of these in the set!
Strawberry Thieves Pin Keeps - By Quaint Rose, this chart has several 'pieces and parts' to it. Stitched with Classics of Licorice Red, Tropical Paradise and Crab Cakes along with DMC of 310, 3364, 3362 and white, you get the Sweet Pillow, Needlebook, Berries Pillow and pretty little Pin mattress - with the bird on it. Chart runs $14.00 The Quilting Nanny - Kind of a fun 'out there' piece... this little donkey looks perfectly happy amidst her world of color. I kind of like those quilt blocks along the bottom - they'd be fun re-arranged into a square pin cushion, and that profusion of flowers growing from the hive would make another cool cushion. Something about this is so happy, chart runs $12.00
New Offerings from Quaint Rose Needlearts Comfort & Joy - A charming gingerbread log cabin is nestled underneath it's grand poinsettia garden! The Christmas tree in the yard is even more festive! Measuring 126 x 95, this is worked with a combination of Classic and Gentle Art hand-dyed flosses on Weeks Dove linen. In a hurry? Stitch just the tree or just the cottage with poinsettias! Jingle all The Way Deer - Here's a colorful little guy! Definitely for a more contemporary twist on Holiday decor. He's worked with Classic Colorworks flosses of Deep Fennel, Ruby Slippers, Bramble Bush, Spinach, Rose Petal, Manor Red, Ye Old Gold and Used Brick along with black and white DMC, on a 36ct gray background. Very festive, he measures 122 x 176.
Gingerbread Village - This is a medley of festive, ginger-bready designs - lots of stitching choices. Everything is done on Weeks Dye Works Seafoam hand-dyed linen (We have few other fabrics and counts similar to this colorway as well.) using DMC and/or varied hand-dyeds. The Gingergread village row pillow measures 200 x 61, the main sampler is 150 x 140, and the cute little gingerbread man in the cup is just 91 stitches in size. Stitcher Urn - What a fun piece! This is worked on two different pieces of linen, which you connect before you begin stitching. The ruler and 'STITCHER' along the bottom are done on a green background. The Floral tomato vine growing out of the urn is done on a cream. Everything is coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. The little scissors and birds tuck in there and make everything look happy! Quaint Rose has several other 'urn' pieces like this - Peppermint, Tulip and Pinwheel. They are all approx the same size - 110 stitches square. Spooky Mansion - We're past Halloween, so now you have a whole year to get this stitched! Bats in the sky, spiders in the trees, Jack-O-Lanterns in the yard... it's a busy little house. Coded for DMC and hand-dyeds, it finishes approx 7 x 5 on 36ct - just a cute, petite size. There are French Knots topping all the wrought iron fence posts - but you could do beads instead if you're scared of knots!
Grace on Thee measures 167 x 176 in stitch count - so will finish approx 9-1/2 inches square on 18/36 ct. Coded for DMC or silks, I think it would be cool to add a few rows right below ON THEE, to add your family name and year established information. Very stately and organized, it's a pretty piece and would look good in a foyer. Chart $13.00 Pinwheel Urn - This companions other URN designs by Quaint Rose - you'll notice she has stitched two different fabrics together for this! Blue on the bottom, creamy at the top. Guidance is provided for that fabric joining - she suggests doing that FIRST before you stitch - in case you mess it up! Presented in a chart format $9.00
Peppermint Urn - This is a pretty design - you'll notice that it is done on two different fabrics that are joined together to make the 7 x 7 cushion. The little X's across the seam are there for decoration... and QR directs you to a YouTube video for that joining process. Coded for Gentle Art or DMC floss, it's a festive little pot of peppermints! Stitch and Be Merry - Another piece that features two different fabrics joined together. QR sends you to instructions for that if you want to take a look, but you can do this on one single cut as well. What makes this one fun, though, is that the tree is a THIRD cut of fabric appliqued on there! Could be wool if you wanted, rather than linen. Coded for silks of DMC, this finishes approx 6 x 11 on 36ct.
Some Pretty Spring and Summer Designs Patriotic Spools - Wow, this is a neat collection of spool wraps. Quaint N gives directions for MAKING your own spools from hobby Lobby wood, or suggests an antique store. Look at the tall spool... you can turn your needlework if it fits on the spool in a different direction better. (who knew!) Then... she shows you a pic of her attachment on the backside - fold under the edges, old fashioned safety pins and antique buttons - NO FANCY FINISHING involved! Three designs in this chart pack, all are coded for DMC, but super easy to change to hand-dyeds. Find a spool first, determine circumfrance, then choose fabrics! Quaint Quakers #2 Summer - Sail the Seas! This is so cheerful! A Quaker sailing ship, the glorious roses, simply-too-cute-crabs, and the pretty row of anchors, this measures 188 x 168, so finishes a generous 13 x 11-3/4 on 40ct! Spring Chicks - Very hard to see in the picture, but chicks have just hatched from their speckled eggs, already with needle-in-beak! Three different designs in here, there is an egg-shaped needle keep, a cushion that reads 'cheep cheep', and a round pic that would be pretty as a box top. Carrot Patch Rabbits - Another very-hard-to-see cover pic, this is a charming chubby bunny perched atop his equally fat and stubby carrot! Even the flowers on the companion pin cushion design are plump! Very whimsical and really charming, we KNOW this'll be cuter in-person than it is on the cover. All three designs included in the pack - coded for DMC and hand-dyeds. Tulip Urn - A pretty floral - notice it is worked on two different fabrics! QR suggests watching 'Bluebonnets and Whiskey' on YouTube for a lesson on that joining technique! The design is charted for DMC, and 110 in stitch count.
