Presenting Caroline Amelia Trowell from With Thy NeedleBrenda Gervais has released a new sampler reproduction! Originally stitched by 10-yr old Caroline - a shepherd's daughter. Brenda tells us about Caroline, her family, where she lived and the significance of some of the motifs she chose for her sampler. The are photos of the original antique sampler in the leaflet as well. Packed with sweet motifs, there are 3 'sections' to this... lots of opportunity for small cushion take-outs... and a pretty sawtooth border. Stitched on 40ct hand-dyed linen by Seraphim, we have SEVERAL color options by Seraphim in various counts... so I am sure we can find you something lovely. Brenda uses a medley of DMC solids and Weeks hand-dyed flosses. | |||||
Tree of Life SamplerA lovely sampler - not too big either! Rose, butterscotch and gray colors, Tree of Life measures just 89 x 112, is worked with DMC and all three hand-dyed floss companies. On the 32ct Weeks Beige hand-dyed linen it calls for, this will finish just 5-1/2 x 7-1/2. Pretty floral motifs and the cute little house, Brenda shares that while taking the antique needlework out of its frame to better see the colors on the backside, she found a Spencerian Penmanship Lesson hand-sewn on the backside of the sampler. Was it a school lesson by the same set of hands as the sampler? Did she learn stitching and penmanship at the same school? We'll never know. Choose a smaller count of linen if you like... this will be charming no matter what you choose! Presented as a leaflet. | |||||
Mary Ann Copp 1839Oh this is so pretty - a reproduction by Brenda. She writes: 'A beautiful sampler with a stately brick house complete with brick/iron fence upon a brick wall. The basket above the house is simply gorgeous.' The history about the sampler tells that Mary is described as living in a brickyard in Jersey Channel Islands. The Copp family was a well known name in the brick business - so she's included a history write-up in the leaflet! I like that big floral border on this... just gentle and meandering! Measures 252 x 288 - so 14 x 16 on 36ct. Yummy colors in this - you'll need 3 skeins of Oscar hand-dyed floss! | |||||

The Sampler HouseThe PERFECT little cushion to store and display some antique keys! Your family mansion stitched on 35ct Weeks Straw linen will finish 5 x 5-ish.

 Special Notice - Linda has lots of antique needlework and sewing goods. She read off the back of something while she was here last summer - I think it was the backside of the sales slip from the original purchase. THIS was the advice 100 years ago! Special Notice: - The attention of clerks is directed to the importance of suggesting to customers that before beginning a piece of work, a fully sufficient amount of silk be procured, as afterwards difficulty may be experienced in obtaining exactly the same shade. She read it in class... and didn't we all smile! Anyway, Stitch this for a sewing case, bag, frame it for your stitching area... we might stitch it as a shop model to hang behind our counter! Monochromatic - so pick any color you like! This pattern is a fundraiser for Linda's local animal shelter in TN! | |||||
The PsalmsRetiring! This is a small bit of stitching -- *the 23rd Psalm* is all it says. Linda is showing it with a bit of Scrapbooking artwork as the finishing. She's made a 'prayer card' of sorts by decorating a card with the printed psalm on one side, and old lace and buttons on the other -- so highlight the bit of stitching. Stitch count is 27 x 131, this is charted for DMC or hand-dyeds of Baby Spinach, Sable, and Artichoke! | |||||
 My 1st Christmas A mini-stocking ornament design, stitch this in honor of the first Christmas... or that of the new grandbaby!!! Worked in Weeks, Gentle Art and DMCs, it finishes a trite 1-1/2 x 1-3/4!!! Easy to finish into an ornament in any number of ways... it'd be fun to personalize with baby's name. | |||||
 My World from Threads That Bind This is a really cool punch needle piece that we have had in the shop this Fall... but I've somehow missed showing you on-line!!! One of my personal favorites... it is a round scene of a village in the four seasons! By Threads That Bind, it punches into a 6-inch round little rug, that we have perched on top of a painted shaker box. Look closely... you see the city in the Fall, farmyard in the Spring, seashore in the Summer, and mountains in the Winter. Lots of fun detail and pretty colors, this design is so unique and really charming! Offered as the design stamped onto khaki-colored weaver's cloth, you supply your punch needles and floss. Finally, American Roots -- a cute house-on-the-hill scene, I love the Penny Rug detail down in the yard. Punched with three strands, you can see lots of color movement in this one -- that is simply alternating colors of DMC in your needle as you change threads! This one finishes 5 x 5-3/4. | |||||
Up On The HousetopWell, I'd say so! This addresses that age-old question about Santa fitting down the chimney!!! The sky is a wintery 648 gray, his suit is 816 and the happy little house is 3768! Don't you love Santa's skinny little legs? Finishes 4 x 7 using a #3 Needle -- or the #1 on your Untra Punch Cameo. | |||||
Grandma's HouseA neatly-kept house, lavish garden and lots of birds... the flag is a little saggy, but Grandma has been busy tending to that property!!! Finishing 4 x 8. | |||||
 Spooktacular Night Just a bitty Punch needle design - 5 x 5 in size. This would be a nice and easy one to begin with, because it's not too involved. Lots of curves that follow each other, and lots of 'solid' spaces. | |||||
HildaIs she over-the-top, or what??? Hilda punches approx 5-1/2 inches square, and features a row of light-colored punches all around to highlight her! Remember, the roiling background is simply different colors of DMC! | |||||
 Trick or Treat I LOVE this green cyclops spider... he's leaving the web, complete with his Jack-O-Lantern Trick or Treat pail... to get the goods!!! How Charming!!! He measures approx 5-1/2 inches square, and is punched in DMC #580 green! Talk about personality! | |||||
 For Winter from Just Nan Frosty Gnomes - Well aren't these little guys charming? Four tiny gnomes - all sporting spike-y Satin Stitch beards, warm little tweed hats, and glass bead noses... they are surrounded by sparkly snowflakes. Best of all they finish ONLY 2-1/2 inches square on 32ct natural linen! Get out bits of DMC from your stash, and a little metallic - they don't take much to pack their punch of cuteness! Presented as a small chart with special bead pack. | |||||
 Presenting Just Nan's Merlin the Midnight Owl! Due in the Shop October 9th, Nan has a darling new little owl ornament pattern. She describes Merlin opening his starry eyes at midnight, under a silvery moon. Her newest little guy has a flat seamed bottom with wire feet to help him perch on any flat surface. Worked on 32ct Weeks Tin Roof Linen (stitching is full coverage, so linen will not show) with a combination of DMC and Weeks flosses, there is a bit of silver metallic in here as well. Eyes are sequins with beads, and there is an owl medallion charm on his back. His hat is a tiny purple crystal with silver sequin brim. His chart includes chart, instructions for stitching and finishing, multiple beads and sequins, owl head charmbead, and wire for feet. You'll need a bit of stuffing and a pin to attach his hat. Cute as can be... Nan has Merlin shown on a felt pumpkin she's had in her holiday decorations for years. It does not come with the pattern, so we suggest perching this little guy on those tiny real pumpkins! (Actually we think those small white ones are pretty cool for this.) (If you have been on our Just Nan ornament auto-ship -- you will get this little guy - but it's OK to call and check!) | |||||
 Just Nan has announced her Rose Heart Bunny Little Rose Heart Bunny will be on her way to us an a few weeks.... she is Nan's final little 1 x 1-1/2 inch mouse design. She has soft pink felt ears and a furry pom-pom tail... and she'll be precious as an ornament, pin keep, spool topper, ornament - anything you want! Stitched on 32ct white linen with shades of pink and green DMC, she is embellished with rose beads, along with her ears and tail. She is also wearing a tiny Rose Quartz heart HAT that is held in place with a tiny pearl pin. All of Nan's previous little bunnies are now retired, and Rose Heart is the last in the series. Her chart includes the pic, graph, instructions for stitching and assembly, overdyed wool for the ears, pom-pom tail, beads and pin. You'll need a tiny bit of batting to line/stuff her. | |||||
Presenting Madame Butterfly Mouse on a TinNan's last little mouse perched on her tin house will be here by the end of April! Madame is ready for the sunny flower-filled days of summer. She is wearing a gown of gorgeous butterflies and pretty pink rose stitches accented with sky blue and golden bronze beads. Her blue flower hat is pinned in place with three blue beads, so she's ready for a sudden gust of wind! Her tin perch is decorated with rings of blue and bronze butterflies set against a dramatic black background, and Nan has added blue scalloped trim along the edge. Inside Madame's tiny tin, you'll be able to tuck your tiny frayed-edge needlebook. It is decorated with butterfly stitches, an antique brass butterfly charm, and sparkling blue crystal. Both the mouse and book are stitched on Week's Dye Work's 32ct Linen color of hand-dyed linen using DMC floss from your stash. Included with the leaflet are all the stitching and finishing instructions, beads, flower hat, butterfly charm, needlebook felt, decorated metal tin, gold tail and Nan's signature button base with magnet. All you'll need is a tiny bit of fusible interfacing for the book and mouse. Too darn cute, Madame Butterfly is the final Mouse on a Tin. The Peacock and Bee Mice are sold out... but we still have Little Lady in Red Ladybug Mouse! | |||||
Presenting Just Nan's Newest Little Mouse-on-a-Tin - Lady in RedShe is the 4th in this series and ready for Spring in a beautiful costume of bitty ladybugs, greenery and pretty red and pink flowers. Garnished with red and gold beads, her flower hat is pinned in place with pearls, and even her tail is red! Perched atop her decorated 2-inch round tin, she is magnetized for stability.  Inside the tin, you'll stitch the 1-1/4 needle mat decorated with more ladybugs and flowers. Mouse and needlebook are stitched on Weeks' hand-dyed Linen... and just as cute as can be! Nan's kit includes all the instructions for stitching and finishing plus the decorated tin, red tail, beads, burgundy pearl, flower bead, gold pearl, glass ladybug bead, read felt and the magnetized mouse button base.

Here He Comes... 2020 Avery's OrnamentPersonalize this with your favorite little girl or boy's name... the verse reads "Here He comes bringing joy to a sweet little boy (or girl)," then your preferred name. Finishing approx 3 x 4, Santa is flying through the air above the village - but the lights are still on in the windows... so you'd better stop stitching and get to bed quick! Presented as a chart, coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. Add a star embellishment from your stash if you want that extra touch. | |||||
 Sampler Orn 2014 Merry Christmas Wishes from Homespun Elegance... all including a charm. | |||||
 Woman at a Pond An unfinished piece, it features 10 different alphabets... and has a woman sitting by a pond - holding her stitching! Kathleen thinks this is from the early 1800's, and it's extra-charming because the fabric is actually pieced together - probably because linen was so precious a find! 17 x 12 On 40ct linen. | |||||
L' Atelier de Zelie from Cmon MondeOK... I can't read French... so I am imagining this is telling me it is delightful apparel for your iron! Oh... Google Translator says it is The workshop Zelie! I have never seen a stitched iron cover, so I HAD to buy this!!! Everyone I know either uses their iron 20 hours a day, or 2 minutes a week! (My daughter doesn't even OWN an iron!) The design is cute -- the seamstress and her machine and quilts -- it is embellished with buttons and rik rak trim that you can find in your stash. There are DMC numbers given in the color key, and the stitch count is 66 x 78, but those are the only things I can read in this pattern. I think the spools of thread are Satin stitches, as well. Maybe there are finishing instructions in here... but I don't know! Regardless, I thought this was imaginative, unique and darn cute! Offered as a chart. | |||||
Mary BobbinsOh my gosh... this is so cute! Meet Ms Mary Bobbins... she's a seamstress! A totally fun design, notice all the 'sewing related' stuff in here. The flower pots are spools of thread, and Mary's umbrella handle is a pair of scissors. Little what-nots scattered everywhere in here, the stitch count is 138 x 155, and I can read the DMC numbers and names of 4 Gentle Art Thread colors featured. I can tell there are French Knots and Satin Stitches in here as well. I think this would be neat on the front of a stitching album, or as a door hanging to mark your *stash room.* It'd be really cool mounted to the top of a sewing box that held works-in-progress as well. Offered as a chart. | |||||
Un Tour dans mon SacAnother interesting translation -- 'A Tour in my bag.' We think this is a happy little Halloween witch at home, with her mug of morning coffee! Could be poisonius brew, but the birds are all happy, so who knows! She measures 90 x 119 stitches and is stitched mostly in Onyx Sampler Threads. Cute! | |||||
Au Pays aes TulipesCountry Tulips! I love this very organized little garden scene! Everything lined up straight in rows, even the laundery on the line if perfectly white!!!!! You get two designs in this chart pack... larger is 149 x 87, smaller is 63 x 74. | |||||
Noel FeutreThis is a darling little design that features some bits of wool felt applique as parts of the design. Stitched in Gentle Art Sampler Threads and bits of DMC, check out the mushroom top, the tree and the gifts... they aren't stitched! They are bits of wool sewn on! The chart does have them charted... and in those instructions, I also noticed the charted greens at the top and bottom -- but in the model they are primitive stitched! REALLY cute! So... you can stitch the entire piece, or add the buttons and ribbons and bits of fun fabrics if you like! Noel Feutre is presented in French -- so I can't read a word of the instructions except the thread names and DMC numbers. Stitch count is163 x 100, this is a chart. | |||||
Toc Toc TocWe're not sure what the title of this means, as one site translated to fake, fake! Another translated it as Knock, Knock Knock. We think it's a darling piece -- Santa is there with Rudolph (see the red nose!) -- there are snowflakes scattering across the sky, we just like the whole 'flavor' of the 122 x 126 design. This one uses lots of Sampler Threads -- Onyx, Piney Wood, Weathered Barn, Cherry Wine and Sarsaparilla. | |||||
Le Nuage de Pere Noel'The cloud of Father Christmas'... he's saying that he sees the wise children. In other words, that means that Santa is watching and seeing all the good children before he visits on Christmas! (even without his glasses on -- see them by his boots!?) So whimsical and cute, stitch count of 120 x 171, just charming! | |||||
Quand le Chat est la...When the cat is... (out, the mouse will play!) Oh my gosh, check out the CHARM of this piece! The cat is rotund, with that awesome curly tail, the mouse is wearing a pink Tu-Tu! The tiny bluebird is just singing away... he's not worried about life at all!!!!! Over-the-top personality in these two 90 x 75 pieces! | |||||
from Jeannette Douglas
| |||||
 Kind Karen Another of Jeannette's cute primitives... this is the 6th or 7th in the series: A Most Suitable Name. She started by naming them after her sisters... but she ran out of them a couple of years ago! Kind Karen is a stitcher! Cute motifs, fun hand-dyed cottons, finishes just about 5 x 5 on 36ct. | |||||
Modest Mildred and Devoted DorothyMore of these cute ladies stitched with earthy tones and mingled with pretty motifs, each is presented as a small chart. They'd be fun as pillows, add buttons, or maybe even a penny rug border like the background on Mildred's front cover. Worked with overdyed flosses, Mildred and Dorothy companion Betty, Hilda, Willi, Nettie, Penny and Annie! DARLING all together in a basket of little pillows! | |||||
Button Betty, Humble Hilda and Wool Willi 
Here are three more lovely ladies -- all named after Jeannette and her family members!!!!! Willie gets the wooly lambs and Betty gets the buttons... each piece is a tiny primitive with kind-of a stitching theme. Offered as small charts, add some old buttons or charms to yours if you have something special from the family. Stitched on something 36ct-ish, Willi finishes approx 4 x 5 -- close to the rest. All are charted for Weeks and Gentle Art hand-dyed flosses. | |||||
A Most Suitable Name! 
Alphabet Annie, Prim Penny and Nimble Netty are all charming primitive pieces by Jeannette Douglas! Something quite different from her regular design style, these are worked on hand-dyed linen using Weeks and Gentle Art flosses. Annie has the alphabet, Penny has a teeny Penny Rug stitched over one thread by her name -- this would be pretty with a row of wool pennies in place of the stitched ones. Netty has a flower stitched in a round motion and a house stitched in a diagonal motion to really show off the floss variation -- I guess that's what makes her nimble! Annie finishes approx 4-1/2 x 8, and Penny and Netty approx 5-ish inches each. Pretty colors, charming little designs, each is offered as a chart. | |||||

Plenty & Grace Sampler by Brenda KeyesBrenda Keyes has two new samplers... both offered in chart format; we like to stitch ours over one thread on 28 Lugana or with half stitches over two. Charming motifs and houses, the border on the Shepherd reminds me of the marks on a ruler! Always coded for DMC, her pieces are simple and pretty - but we notice that she is using some hand-dyed threads now. Due in the shop anyday, we can't wait to get the models stitched. Plenty & Grace measures 12-1/2 x 9-3/4 on 14/28 - but if you do the over one, you can get it down to 6 x 5! | |||||
 New Samplers have arrived from Brenda Keyes of The Sampler Company From all the way from 'Across the Pond,' we're excited that they have arrived! All presented in chart format, and coded for DMC.
| |||||
Noah's Ark SamplerBrenda Keyes has a new sampler -- with a Noah's Ark theme. Very simple and bold compared to some of her other things, this measures approx 13 x 17 on 25ct over two. (That's big... it'd be 12 x 9 on 35ct.) Stitched with regular DMC floss as well. Awesome trees -- I love her different choices for those. Animals -- kangaroos, giraffes, camels, snakes and I think hyenas... this is a very traditional flavor for Noah. Offered as the chart. | |||||
House on the Hill SamplerStitch something traditional and easy -- this is a neat piece just for that -- because the alphabet and motifs are simple. With a stitch count of 252 x 132, this will finish approx 9 x 18 on 28ct... but could be 4 x 7 over one on 35ct! Lots of fabric choices for this one -- it is charted for 12 different colors of DMC floss. It's a perfect piece to add some overdyeds to, because of the large design area. Look at the trees, the grass, the big alphabet, even the house -- you can add lots of color impact with just a couple of hand-dyeds. A pretty piece to stain and mange up, too!!!!!

 LOVE *Is all around you* This is rather a simple chart which can be stitched on any fabric, using a color of your choice. What makes it special are the button and pin embellishments included. Hand-made by Puntini, you are getting 4 alphabet 'tiles' that remind one of Scrabble letters, along with 2 decorated hearts and a matching heart pin. The buttons have a definite cream color... so do be careful to choose fabrics and threads that compliment and not clash. Very cute design, this would make a fun wedding announcement!

Hannah's Samplerfrom Shakespeare's Peddler Here is Shakespeare's Peddler's newest reproduction sampler - Hannah's Sampler. Theresa found the original in terrible condition, but could tell she loved the leafy border and the charming farmhouse - next to the brick wall - covering that little babbling brook. Very pretty colors of reds and greens in here, the row of diamonds below the alphabet are done with Rice Stitch. Those bricks in the wall and the waves in the water are all loosely placed in the original... so neat... you can do that too. Stitched on 36ct Weeks Straw Linen with silks (Gloriana, Needlepoint Inc and Au Ver a Soie) or DMC, it measures a generous 16-1/2 x 15-1/2 in size. Teresa came to Tulsa for a weekend retreat in our new 'She Shed' Stitching Room... and presented this sampler as our Silver Needle exclusive. (Our class included three small take-out designs from this charming piece... so the weekend was really a treat.) 'Raggamuffin #3' refers to her third antique reproduction piece that came from a really ratty, mangy, and damaged sampler that just needed a little love! So... Hannah's original sampler as well as her reproduction now hang happily at our shop... and she'll be here for years to come! | |||||

 Harry Potter Wow... something fun through our doors this week! Licensed by all the right people... (Disney, WBEI and LFL) we are excited to offer these fun 6-inch scissors in protective 'pleather' decorated sheaths! Each pair measures 6 inches in overall length, and their companion (plasticy-leathery) sheaths measure 5 inches. Tips are not super pointy, and I wouldn't use these to cut fabrics... but the blades are sharp and they work great on paper and threads. We think Santa needs to bring these for ANYBODY who loves Harry Potter. (They'd make great stocking stuffers). Each style's decorations are enameled on the handles, and they look really nice. We think because of the 6-inch size they'd be good for anyone in 5th or 6th grade and older - definitely not for little-little kids. I tried to shoot pics of them with both front and back sheath decorations showing... we just think they're pretty cool around here! NOTE! Harry Potter Ravenclaw Scissors are sold out! | |||||

 Stitch a Flower Bag is a cute repeating design - each flower or verse square measures 60 stitches from side point to side. Liezbeth does include the finishing instructions in here to make her sewing case, but since I don't sew - I cannot tell you if they would make sense to you or not!!! So... I think I'd make two-sided pin cushions - verse on one side, and different colored flowers on the other, and make a set of 8 matching cushions! | |||||
Fantasy Biscornus - Beginning January of 2019 from Tiny Modernist This is a set of unique subjects (!) all stitched into approx 4-inch squares. Stitched on both sides... you really end up with 24 designs in this series.

Christmas Robins Scissor FobA charming little design -- it's a double-decker fob!!! A trio of chubby winter robins -- dressed in Christmas finery with their Santa Hats on -- they are so simple, yet so cute! THEN... why haven't we thought of this before???? DOUBLE fobs???
