Quaint Rose Needlearts has two new Americana designs -- both presented in chart format. 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
A Trio of Christmas Cheer from Quaint Rose Needlearts 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 from Quaint Rose Needlearts 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.
