The Secret Pincushion from MTVMTV is gifted Italian designer with neat stuff! Maria Teresa Vitali's Secret Pincushion is especially cute, because it uses a Lone Elm Lane Shaker Pin Cushion Base that you make a cover for, and turn it into a little box! OR you can finish it onto one of those Laughing Cow cardboard cheese wedge boxes!!! Presented as a chart WITH a handpainted majolica Italian bead sewing pin and a pair of scissors. You stitch this design on 32ct linen using only 4 colors of Weeks flosses. Mount it on a puffed board, add some rik rak... and Presto... you have a miniature covered box! A real cute idea... | |||||||||
 A Gift From Heaven With My Needle's Ellen Chester has new twin grand-daughters -- Norah and Kathryn -- so of course here is matching pair of birth samplers!!!!! A central panel of grazing sheep surrounded by the pretty borders of urns and vines... the samplers look the same, but in studying them, you'll find they go together, but are different - just like the girls! You don't need a twin to enjoy these, however! Both samplers are in the same chart pack --- they finish approx 5 x 8 on 36ct and they are charted for Needlepoint Inc Silk or DMC floss. | |||||||||
 Amidst the Crowd Preserve me Lord amidst the crowd from every thought that's vain and proud. And raise my wandering eyes to see how good it is to trust in Thee.

Proud and TrueBlue Ribbon introduces a neat Americana-flavored piece... a traditional alphabet, luscious shades of Crescent's Belle Soie Silks, stitched on 40ct, this finishes a mere 7 x 8! I like the lacy trees, and the waving flags! 'With my needle and threads of red white and blue, I stitched this sampler so proud and true.'

As with all the rest, you could do a teeny weeny square of just four of your favorites and make a mini picture.

Six Bats and a Witches HatHere's another of blue Ribbon's charming checkerboard designs... only this time it has a Halloween theme!!!

We haven't come close to doing it justice with our images. The design is strong enough for lots of creativity... if you're so inclined! You could do miniature ornaments... teeny individual blocks as scissor fobs... and since each one is only 16 stitches... they'd be 1/2 AN INCH!

Cute as can be... even though you are seeing digital images and not the actual stitched pieces... they'll finish approx 4 x 4 to 4 x 7 in size -- on the large side for ornaments, but if you do them on paper, they'd be awfully neat. Anyway... colorful, familiar, and fun! | |||||||||
Autumn Sunshine LinesOne of Brooke's Books newest baby announcement designs, these are always unique, and because of all the individual stitched pieces that are involved... you can stitch some or all, depending on your time! Offered as charts, the packages include 14ct brown perforated paper, charts for each piece, along with the alphabet for personalization, glass seed beads, DARLING miniature wooden clothes pins that are only an inch in size and Velcro dots to help attach your pieces to any background fabric you choose.

Your overall finished size can vary a bit, depending on how you arrange your clothesline -- especially if you have a specific frame you already have, and want to use. So cute, these have an Autumn flavor to them... which is good... because this year's Autumn Babies won't be here for 5 or 6 months... and you'll have time to stitch! (Winter Sunshine Lines Babies will be here sometime in June, with Spring and Summer following this Fall.) Check out the tiny squirrel and the puppy in the boot for the boy... and the paper doll on the girl's... it features detached legs that swing! | |||||||||
Jill Rensel MatsAs you'll notice on so many of Shepherd's Bush's kit and leaflet covers... they love to frame their pieces with lovely, delicate hand painted and sometimes hand-carved mats. Over the years, SB has developed a great relationship with their favorite Utah framer and friend, Jill Rensel. Such a talented lady, Jill creates mats for just about everything SB designs. We carry every one we can! We don't always stock them all, all the time... but chances are... we have what you see on the leaflet or kit front. All on special acid-free papers, Jill usually has 3 or 4 mats on each confection, hand-painting, or carving, and lots of pretty curves and angles on specific pieces. Always colored to complement SB's pieces... these are a really nice convenience to offer you, so that YOUR piece looks as charming as Tina and Terry's original stitched pieces! There might not be a drop-down underneath a particular SB pattern... but it doesn't mean we don't have the mat! Just ask if one is available for the piece you're interested in. When your stitching is finished, you can either frame it yourself, or take your mat to your favorite framer for them to stretch and frame for you. For some of the smaller seasonal designs... you may want to skip the wood moulding all together for economy sake... these mats are gorgeous with or without the wood frames around them! Here is a list of half-price mats. Call for specific availibility.

Presented as Guilia's chart with assembly instructions and all the little paper accessories! | |||||||||
Deruta Scissor Pouch The designs offered in this pack match biscornu charts farther along on our Giulia pages. Very traditional Deruta majolica patterns featured on Italian pottery, you are offered both colorways (click the image to see them both) in the charts... and one bead set to finish your case. Finishing approx 3 x 6, each case has three solid beads, and the decorated one to decorate your scissors. Simple cross stitches and finishing... the charm of these pieces is not lost on Deruta pottery lovers! | |||||||||
Deruta Biscornus with Italian Majolica Beads!These are two pin cushions that match the scissor cases Guilia has designed.. Each is inspired by Italian pottery designs from Deruta, Italy... and the charts INCLUDE the actual hand-painted pottery beads for the center finishing!!! I personally LOVE these... stitched on 32ct they finish approx 4 x 4. Lovely bits of Italy! | |||||||||
Cape Cod Vignettes by Jeannette DouglasAs I am writing this, Cape Cod is getting slammed with 18 inches of snow! Lets move on from winter to these three small pictures of Fall, Summer and Spring on the Cape! (I'd even love to be there with 18 inches of snow falling!) Each of these pictures finishes approx 3 x 5. Each is worked with different silks on different coordinating hand-dyed linens (all three pieces are even surged for you!) by Picture This Plus. Jeannette told me the frames in the cover pic came from Michaels. Sweet pieces, a few special stitches, silvery charm embellishments and beads here and there.. we have everything gathered together for this entire set. Three charts, three fabrics, three sets of silks and embellishments... all you add are those cute frames! | |||||||||
The Four Seasons Accessories by Jeannette DouglasA Pin Wheel Needlebook, Home Scissor Fob and Spring Basket Pincushion, this is a trio of smalls to match your main seasonal sampler. A smaller selection of the same threads is used to make coordinating pieces -- using some of the favorite stitches. This thread packet includes the Merlot, Eggplant and Cinnamon Week's hand-dyed wools that line the needlebook, the Gloriana chenille thread that trims the fob, more beads and charms to embellish, along with all the stitching silks. Pretty pieces even without the main sampler!!! Offered as the leaflet with thread and emb pack separate. | |||||||||
Isle of Hope Sampler - Ellis Island by Jeannette DouglasSteamship tickets in 1892 leading to a new life in the Land of Liberty! This is a 2-3/8 x 19-5/8 piece (on 35ct) that is loaded with design elements that celebrate so many of our ancestors' entry into the US via Ellis Island. Once again, Jeannette has stuffed it full of fun specialty stitches that give her motifs so much extra charm. The quilt is worked in Bargello -- for lots of 'movement', the rug below the seamstress's tape measure is worked with pattern darning -- the same way they repaired socks and stockings back then. (That diagram takes up an entire page of the leaflet!!!) Anyway, a bit of Ellis Island History included... you may want to include some immigration dates on here... and if you have any original paperwork, it always a cool thing to tuck it into an envelope and mount that to the back of your framed piece! Offered as the leaflet with thread and embellishment pack separately. | |||||||||
Apple Stitches by Jeannette DouglasOhhh... same awesome format as Pumpkin Stitches... this brings Jeannette's offerings in this series to 14!!! (If you check out the back cover of the leaflet, you can see all the rest in the set -- Silver Needle Stitches is the piece she taught for our shop a few years ago!) Anyway, Apple Stitches finishes 6 x 8 on 32ct, Lambswool and is stitched with glorious colors of browns, greens, and rich apple red hand-dyed silks. I'd call these late summer-early fall apple colors -- not the brights of early summer. Again, just a few Cross Stitches, but lots of Satin, Scotch, Oblong, Italian Cross, and Holbein (Blackwork, or Double Running). I don't think you can see them in the pic, but there are tiny white apple blossoms in this that are garnished with a gold bead center. Pretty borders, pretty leaves, even that center apple -- just as it is -- would be neat on its own. Offered as the leaflet with threads separately. | |||||||||
Halloween Quaker Pin Cushions by Jeannette DouglasThis is a charming piece -- no matter which fabric and thread combination you choose! A 9 x 10 medley of small Christmas motifs -- each one is stuffed FULL of special stitches and measures a mere 1 to 2 inches in overall size. Jeannette shares that 4 of the motifs in here were originally presented in various past issues of the Just Cross Stitch Annual Ornament Issues -- but she doesn't tell us which ones, so you'll have to go on a hunt to figure that out!!! She has chosen 32ct Antique White Belfast for one -- along with traditional reds, greens, white and corresponding metallics and beads. For the other option, she has stitched it on 32ct Natural Linen with a DIFFERENT selection of (also!) traditional deeper reds, greens, golds and browns -- no metallics or glitzy beads. thread pack containS hand-dyed flosses, Gloriana's Lorikeet Wool, and other necessaries. Both samplers get to use all the fun Leaf, Leviathan, Sprat's Head, Mosaic, Smyrna, and a bit of Cross Stitch. Gorgeous little motifs, you can use these for so many individual fobs or ornaments... stitch just a row of 3 or 5 of them... stitch four of the trees, or the four snowflakes together in a piece. LOTS of design options with this, lots of ways to use up scraps of misc fabrics in your stash. We have both models in the shop -- and both appeal to everyone. Your choice is going to be hard, so get one leaflet and both thread packs! | |||||||||
Friendship Sweet Bag by Jeannette DouglasWhat a fun set of smalls... Jeannette has designed a Sweet Bag of sorts -- much less stitching than the Elizabethan ones of old! A 'Gift Bag' for stitchers, this holds an emery needle cushion (1-3/8 x 2-7/8), bottle cap pin cushion (only 7/8 an inch in size!), and coin scissor fob (only 12 x 12 stitches!!!.) Offered as the leaflet with thread and embellishment packet, Jeannette has included a Canadian quarter in there... it's the stuffer inside the fob! Sweet Bags used to be given as gifts... and usually there were gold coins inside! So... you're supposed to add your own country's currency to the fob, as well. The thread packet includes #12 Perle Cottons, Rainbow Gallery and Needlepoint Inc silks of dusty blues, mauves, and mossy greens, organza ribbon to tie your bag, felt for the bottle cap cushion, a sterling acorn charm, and that Canadian quarter. You'll need to scrounge your kitchen for a plastic bottle cap... and we DO sell white emery to fill the Needle Cushion. In reading, I believe the entire little bag is approx 4 x 6 inches in size! | |||||||||
More Thread WindersHow cute are these? A pair of mini-sheep made from Mother of Pearl. Each Ewe is a mere 1-1/2 high and 2-1/4 inches long... and features a hold in its nose, in case you want to tether him to something else! Dress them up with bits of pretty thread! Offered as a set of two. | |||||||||
| Magnetic Needle Minders A very classy way to keep track of stray needles, these elegant, Victorian Cameos feature a pair of magnets on their back, to cling to fabrics, or rest on the table... just wherever you'd like. The magnets will attract your needles, so you won't lose them. Each Cameo is made from a resin material, but they look just like porcelain! 1-1/8 x 1-1/2 inch ovals, we have 7 designs available, and each is just as lovely as the other. Soft colors, beautiful relief, these are very well done, and what a great price, too! | |||||||||
| |||||||||
 Cameo Angel Magnets Kelmscott has released an awesome set of oval cameo magnets -- needle minders that can double as regular magnets!!! Lovely letters decorated with elegant angels and cherubs, each one is different in design, but similar because they are all a soft cream color on a matte black finish. Measuring approx 1-1/2 inches, these tiny resin ovals feature a magnet attached to the back, along with yet another magnet. Designed to 'cling' to your fabric, and mind your needle, they'd be pretty as a regular, lowly refrigerator magnet!!! Everyone you know has a *name* that begins with a *letter!* Start with YOU and then your best friend... and go from there!!! Lovely!. | |||||||||
Christmas Threads from The Primitive Jewel By Primitive Jewel, here is a stitched thread palette just like her Halloween Threads piece! A cute idea, this is a board, covered on both sides with your stitching, and trimmed with a set of mother of pearl thread rings. This would be REALLY FUN as a tree ornament! Hang your scissors near-by trimmed with a pretty stitched fob! Who says ornaments have to be glass baubles? Offered as a chart, rings offered separately. | |||||||||
Counting Stitches from The Primitive Jewel Hey, this is a cool design!!! It is for stitched *rulers* if you will -- gauges to determine the count of your linens! (Yeah, yeah, you can just count with a needle, and we have plastic stitch gauges that we sell a ton of, but these are delightful little what-nots.) Each is stitched on its appropriate count of linen, so when you hold up a mystery scrap from your stash, you have a gauge to determine stitch count. Just charming, these are finished with just fusible interfacing and backing fabric. (You don't want fancy edging on there -- because you need that graduated edge to line up smoothly with your mystery fabric.) Something fun for a needlework display, and another cool thing to add inside a special stitched needlework case! Even... fun gifts for your stitching friends! Offered as the chart of three measures. | |||||||||
| |||||||||
 Pine Mountain's 2012 Medium Pillow Series SOOO easy to stitch and finish... this style is addictive! Each month in 2012, Pine Mountain is releasing a 7 x 8 pillow -- already sewn and stuffed! Each complete kit comes with a chart, flosses and needle, and the separate cut of 14ct Aida. Since the fabric is simply a loose piece, it is a breeze to hold in your hand to work with. When stitching is finished, just tuck it underneath the fabric trim on the front of the pillow -- that's it! | |||||||||
Old Hobson Meadow by The Purple ThreadThis is a drum-shaped pin cushion -- we don't see too many of these. Stitched on 36ct hand-dyed linen with gorgeous shades of Brandy, Mulberry, Pumpkin Pie, and Walnut Sampler Threads and Best Olives Needlepoint silk, this little thing finishes into a 2-ish x 4-1/2-ish cylinder. It has three panels of design -- kind of a Pennsylvania Dutch and quilt flavor. The very bottom has a golden wool star on it, too. Pretty colors, just a charming addition to all your small cushions! Offered as a kit of linen, felts, threads, ribbon, Skirtex stiffy and beads. | |||||||||

Samplers Remembered Pin Cushion from Samplers Remembered What an awesome finishing treatment for some simple stitching! By Samplers Remembered, stitch the simple PINS design in any colors you want, on any little bit of linen you have. After assembling the cushion (walnut shell filling, even a Crazy Quilt backing treatment) you get the instructions for adding, via crochet, 125 of Kelmscott's Mini Rounds buttons to purchased cotton trim. I need a lesson in the crochet area, but the chart does include written info, and advises that the internet has lots of crochet demos available. Either way, I love that edge treatment... we have to get some shop models done like this! | |||||||||
A Beeh C by Sara GuermaniThis is a charming chalet scene teaming with cute little sheep. They're hopping everywhere, having the best time! Measuring 207 x 176 -- they are stitched on a medium pink-red linen -- we suggest Weeks Dye Works Red Pear (30 or 32ct) hand-dyed. It's a perfect choice for this! 22 DMC's called for, even just the chalet with a few sheep would be darling! | |||||||||
Pochette Halloween by Sara GuermaniThis is a chart for a cute little Halloween sewing case. 259 x 138 in stitch count, fabric count will determine finished size. There are english instructions and some pictures for the finishing process, and the chart comes with four wooden buttons -- 2 flying bats and 2 jack-o-lanterns. There is a bit of English Paper Piecing featured on the inside lid of the case, as well as felt appliqued punpkin and cat. (Templates are included for those as well!) | |||||||||
 TAG by Sara Guermani Not a very exciting name for this set of designs -- BUT they ARE cool! This is a set of charts that says 'I love Stitching, Crocheting, Quilting, and/or Knitting. One chart for each thing. Measuring approx 70 x 140 in size -- 4 x 9-ish on 32ct... they are coded for DMC floss. Each has the wording, a lady doing her craft, and then a window scene. I am not sure what the window scene has to do with what you are doing (other than the fact that you are taking a break and looking out the window!) but those scenes are charming... and you can interchange them, leave them totally off, or stitch THOSE and forget the other half! Kind of odd... and a bit on the pricey side...but hey, you'll figure out something! | |||||||||
 Christmas Avenue's Toy Shop by Sara Guermani Quite a festive toy shop awaits Christmas Shoppers, only they better shovel so you can reach the front door!!! Designed by Sara Guermani, this is stitched on 32ct Natural Belfast linen that has white polka dots printed on it. (looks like the falling snow.) The building is festive and the gigantic tree is even better! Finishing approx 11 inches square, the chart is coded for 22 colors of DMC floss, and includes a pair of wooden buttons -- 5/8 inch candy cane and gingerbread man, who are featured up in the second story windows. Try adding some opalescent filament to the white snow, or maybe some red in the tree ornaments?? | |||||||||
Christmas Windows by Sara GuermaniA pair of similar designs, these are stitched on 32ct Natural Polka Dot Linen with DMC flosses. Each measures 8 x 10, and features a wooden 2-1/2 inch cut-out angel button in the design. The trees in these are the focal point, to me... the wooden angels are darling... but you could use those on something else, and these pictures wouldn't miss them. So DOUBLE USE out of these charts! | |||||||||
 Preparativi by Sara Guermani Another fun Christmas design stitched on the polka dot Belfast 32ct linen, This one features a neat Christmas tree during it's decorating process. Coded for DMC floss, this finishes approx 10 x 12 -- quite large. You can see stars in the background and small motifs along the bottom in the pic. Those are buttons that are NOT included in the chart. I don't know anything about them... except to say that you could use that as design inspiration to add some of your own. I don't think you'd miss them if they weren't there. I don't know why this chart is so expensive either... probably was supposed to come with those darn buttons... so I'm cutting the price from $34 to $18! | |||||||||
Mystic Needlework SmallsThe Victoria Sampler brings us a really fun little set of 'fixtures' for our stitching 'Power Tools!!!' Mystic Needlework Smalls is a 6-piece set consisting of a Stitcher's Pocket, Scissor Fob, Scissor Case, Biscornu and 2 Needlebooks. All inspired by the nautical flavor of Mystic, CT... each piece features lighthouses or tall ships, and repeats motifs from each other. The Biscornu is worked in a beginner-level Hardanger Embroidery, and in reading the instructions, I find that it is made first, THEN the Hardanger top piece is *added on!* Stitched on 28ct Confederate Gray Cashel Linen in an awesome array of exotic silks, ribbons and metallics, the main case folds to a 3 x 5 size, fob is a mere 1 x 1!... scissor case just 2-1/2 x 4, books are bigger at 3 x 5, and the Biscornu an impressive 5 x 5 before finishing! Cute seaside motifs all over, do one part of this, or the whole set! All are offered together in one leaflet, and the accessory pack allows enough thread to stitch EVERYTHING! As always, beautiful stitch diagrams and great instructions! | |||||||||
