Family Fourth
Pat and Peggy have been super-creative these past few months dreaming up all sorts of cute new cases and Peyote Beaded Scissor Fobs! They are all due in the shop this week, and until i can get my hands on the actual kits - I cannot tell you fabrics and colors... so will fill in that info ASAP! The stitched cases are all completely kitted - finish about 3 x 6 and then fold. The completely kitted beaded fobs (which take between 3 and 4 hours to complete) are generally an inch and half log, BEFORE all that lavish beaded fringe they love to add. The kits are stuffed full of cool stuff... and they are including pretty good inside pics for your finishing info.

Christmas Hare Beaded Sewing/Needle Case from Fern Ridge - click for a larger view Christmas Hare Beaded Fob from Fern Ridge - click for a larger view Christmas Hare Beaded Fob & Matching Sewing/Needle Case
Pat and Peggy of Fern Ridge have another new beaded scissor fob piece along with matching needle case. It did come out before Christmas this last year... but we waited till now to put it up... now you are almost a YEAR ahead of schedule with it! The Hare Peyote beaded fob features a stately rabbit silhouette with Pat and Peggy's signature beaded fringe all along the bottom edge. It looks involved, but is actually pretty easy to do.

The kits contain positively everything you need - all the pretty beads and baubles - everything. The 1-1/2 inches of Peyote itself should take approx 2 to 3 hours, the 2 inches of fringe will be another 2. (Our model stitcher can knock one of these out in 3 hours, as a comparison... so 5 hours is pretty accurate.) Festive red and green crystals accented with lots of gold!

The Sewing/Needle Case is stitched on 32ct Flax linen with Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Collards, Oilcloth, Juniper, Whiskey and Red Rocks. They've tossed in a few special stitches here and there... and inside the case, there is a tiny stitched needle case, and 4 bone rings to hold treads. Fern Ridge has new charting software - the chart in here is in COLOR! There are color photos in here of the the case insides, and actual-sized templates for the finishing (but this time, there is no calico lining fabric.) The case finishes about 4 inches in size when folded closed.

Hare Pins from Fern Ridge - click to see more Hare Pins
Well, this is a cute set of PIN-inspired designs! Browns and rusts mostly in the color schemes... the rabbit case measures about 4 x 4 when closed, and the inside sports cute safety pin fabric! It is stitched on Picture This Plus's 28ct Oaken hand-dyed linen.

The complete kit contains a million things... fabrics, trims, embellishments, a waxer, a glass rabbit button... everything to make this charming little bunny-envelope!
The matching Peyote Fob has lovely copper and brown accent beads. Colors are hard to see in the pics, but the beads are exquiste!

Long May She Wave from Fern Ridge - click to see more Long May She Wave Sewing Case Set
The sewing case features a cross stitched flag to match the fob, and includes a star button for the inside, as well as a few red-headed pins. There is a 2-inch felt 'mattress' piece included that you make a fabric pocket for -- and the entire case then folds closed kind of like an envelope. When both are finished... just do NOT hide that fancy fob inside all the time!

Let it Be -- A Bee! from Fern Ridge - click to see more Let it Be -- A Bee! Sewing Case
Peggy and Pat definitely use imagination and color in their designs! I don't even know where to begin describing this set! Hot pink, searing oranges, slime lime, lemon yellow and bright fuscia!

Pretty Peas - The Beaded Scissor Fob
Oh... I took a class at Market and MADE this little beaded fob! Those Fern Ridge Gals are way too happy and have so much fun with their designs and kits... we had such a fun afternoon!

Pretty Peas -- The Fob -- is a Peyote Stitch piece -- actually very basic and small in size. You see that pea vine on there -- that's tacked on after the basic beading is finished. Then, that lavish trim... just cool beads all strung together zip-zap! Their complete kit contains ALL the cool beads and charms, the threads, the findings, everything!

Owloween Stitches from Fern Ridge - click to see more "Owl"oween Stitching Case
What an eccentric owl this little guy is! He adorns the front of his linen stitching case. Offered as complete kits, the Linen case finishes approx 4 x 8 on 28ct Stormy Gray Linen. Worked with Thread Gatherer's Silk 'n Colors overdyed silk threads of yellows, greens oranges and that awesome Monster Mash combination color, the case is lined with grey fabric, embellished all over with beads and crystal paillettes -- the owl's beak is a big 'ol teardrop crystal!

Then, you'll find a pair of cute, primitive owl thread winders! Fern Ridge's *coffin-man* made some silly little owls, and you get them too! A few special stitches -- Blankets around the eyes, Bargello on his tummy, even little gold bugle beads for his feet! The Owloween Fob is equally as fun. Orange, green and purple beads of all sorts of sizes, there is an owl charm on here, and a big beak crystal again! Complete fob kit comes with all those beads, a spool of the special beading thread, and all the necessary instructions!

Finishing Kit for Ladies Garden Journal from Summer House Stitch Workes - click for more The Ladies Garden Journal is Now Complete!
Summer House Stitche Workes has a pretty series of garden flowers, each stitched on 32ct Beige linen and finishing 5-1/2 inches square. There are six florals in the set - each offered in a separate chart, and they are coded for DMC or Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses. Sweet William is the first, Hollyhock is number 2, and Solomon's Seal is the third so far... with the last three releasing every 6 weeks or so till September-ish.

Beth Ann describes them as her whimsical garden! She did a finishing kit for this project - we will have these for a limited time. She's provided 8 unfinished wooden boards, 7 precut to size mat boards, 4 yards of twill tape ribbon, a coordinating Journal cover design, and finishing instructions to construct your stitched set of flowers into this cool zig-zag-folding journal! A fun finishing idea, kind of a surprise presentation if it's folded on your table and someone picks it up to look at it! Each of the six flower panels could be framed or cushioned as well... it's a cheerful set!


Miss Eliza Garside's Sampler from Summer House Stitche Workes - click to see more Miss Eliza Garside's Sampler
Beth Ann and her daughter found this original stitched sampler in a Lancaster PA antique shop. Of course after HAVING to buy it... she put her talents to work and re-charted it for us. It is a charming floral urn with several design oddities in the piece! I love reading the history of stuff like this... she researched and found several Eliza Garside, but found this one's marriage certificate, her occupation... all sorts of cool stuff.

Beth Ann made a little paper token ornament to match the sampler... added some charms to it... just did a really nice job on everything. Miss Eliza probably worked in the local wool factory in England... her sampler was stitched in wool. Beth Ann has chosen Gentle Art's hand-dyed Simply Wool for this - so luscious to work with, you'll love the effect! Set of wool includes 3 skeins each of Endive and Ruby Slipper in addition to 1 each of the 8 other colors... Brandy, Summer Shower, Portobello, Oatmeal, Forest Glade, Dungarees, and Antique Rose. Simply Wools follow the same colors as the Gentle Art flosses - so if you check your stash, you can see the colors in this.

Fragments in Time
Here are 4 small card designs that celebrate sampler motifs. They are supposed to be 'fragments' of stitching that kind of look half-finished! Display them in a hoop... or better yet, mount them into wooden pin cushion forms -- like the ones we have from Lone Elm Lane or Sudberry House. Or... you can just sew them into stuffed cushions.

They all are 50 x 50 in size, stitched on the same fabric - we have 28ct Vintage Country Mocha Cashel Linen, and use the same Gentle Art Sampler Threads of Cinnamon, Grecian Gold, Endive, Chamomile and Wood Trail. It might be fun to finish right up to the edges on these a little, too! Kind of like lost little scraps of stitching!


Starflower Sampler from Summer House Stitche Workes - click to see more Starflower Sampler
This is a delicate piece -- worked in only 4 colors of DMC 310, 831, 221 and 3852. It finishes approx 5-1/2 inches square on 32ct, and is full of specialty stitches of Smyrna and Star Crosses.

There is a bonus biscornu chart in here as well! Offered as a small chart.

Seeds of Love from Heartstring Samplery

Seeds of Love
Just a sweet pattern that measures about 4 x 4... it's stitched with a few Weeks hand-dyed cottons.

I like the finishing trim - it's rik-rak that is glued to the inside edges of the frame!


Spring Flame Pincushion from Heartstring Samplery - click for more Spring Flame Pincushion
Bright colors on this neat Bargello piece... Weeks Cattail, Dove, Blue Spruce, Monkey Grass, Grasshopper, Lichen, Busy Lizzie, Dahlia, Teal Frost, Maple Syrup and Ohio Lemon Pie, this is trimmed with Sea Glass mini ball fringe by Dames of the Needle.

Offered as a chart, it measures just 115 x 65 in stitch count. Offered as a chart.


Springtime Springtime Pin Drum
Springtime Pin Drum - A rotund little stand-up cushion, we can't really see all the sides on this, but I think tulips go all the way around. *Bloesem* is the word I see spelled across the top... maybe the chart mentions something about that inside?

It's only 3 x 10 on 36ct, and uses Weeks hand-dyeds of Bluecoat Red, Clockwork, Concord, Curry, Grasshopper, Oscar, Parchment, Red rocks, Sanguine and Teal Frost.

The Stitching Life Sampler from Heartstring Samplery - click for more Stitch or Die Pincushion from Heartstring Samplery - click for more
The Stitching Life, Coffee Drinker's Confession & Stitch or Die Pincushion
  • The Stitching Life Sampler's verse reads that *I could use a little more stitching in my life!* It has a tiny pair of scissors in there, beside a threaded needle. It measures 150 x 223 - so quite big actually - 10 x 14 on 32ct!
  • Stitch or Die Pincushion - Don't take that the wrong way!!! :) Finishes a little under 4 x 5 on 32ct... just a fun cushion to tuck into your bowl of smalls!

Sweet Lovers Love the Spring from Heartstring Samplery - click for more Sweet Lovers Love the Spring
A smidgen of a quote from Shakespeare, this is worked on Week's 40ct Angel Hair linen with Corn Husk, Copper, Brandy, Woodrose and Apple Cider hand-dyed flosses.

There is a matching fob that is stitched and covering a silver dollar piece. It is finished as a pin cushion on the chart cover.


Sweet Summer Pin Square from Heartstring Samplery - click for more
Sweet Summer Pin Square
Sweet Summer Pin Square -- This is finished as a little 3 x 3 pin mattress! The neat sampler edging is really a scrap of fabric... do you have a SKINNY border design you like?

Stitch IT and make it the mattress border!


The Wedding Sampler from Heartstring Samplery - click for more Wedding Sampler
The Wedding Sampler - Lots of repeating motifs in this busy and happy Marriage sampler. The little tiny farmhouse is surrounded by so much love! The border moves back and forth, the roses are sprouting out of the pots - like 10 children!

Those evergreens in the yard are so even and calming, but then there is all that commotion going on in the yard... it's John and Zella's homestead! Stitched on 36ct linen, this will finish a generous 14 x 16, and it uses A LOT of thread! (at least 6 skeins for that busy yard of grass.)

WIP It Good from Heartstring Samplery - click for more You Make My Heart Happy from Heartstring Samplery - click for more You Make My Heart Happy and WIP It Good
  • You Make My Heart Happy - Heartstrings Samplery has a new release - a 6 x 10 sampler full of her favorite things - houses, birds, flowers, her Farmboy's initials, her cup of coffee and her stitching scissors! Stitched on 32ct Picture This Plus fabric with Weeks hand-dyed cottons, you can add what ever else makes you happy, as long as you can chart it.

  • WIP It Good - This measures 117 stitches square and is stitch with Weeks dye Works Grits thread on 32ct Weeks Dove colored linen. She's put little scissors and threaded needles in here - to signify the WIPs of the 2020s - your Works in Progress. Might be an area you'd want to personalize or something. If you put this over one on 25ct Lugana (something most everyone can see), it'd make a pretty biscornu. Put a gorgeous button in that center area, it'd be less than 5 inches and finish into a pretty cushion.

Ye Old Noel from Heartstring Samplery
Ye Old Noel
Beth's late 1800's sampler is unmarked, undated, and missing a lot of stitches, not to mention its strange color scheme! It's disorganized and she loved the jumble of motifs squished together. So, she's reworked the colors, filled in a few missing stitches and added the word NOEL to give it a second chance at life! The pictures are bitty, but the urns of flowers and the 4 different borders are lovely. You could even do just that NOEL motif as a small pin cushion. Measuring 153 x 127, the whole piece finishes a beautifully petite 8-1/2 x 7 - a tiny Holiday surprise! DMC conversions are included but this is charted for Weeks and classic hand-dyed flosses.


The HF 1837 Sampler from Heartstring Samplery Perry
Beth has been BUSY!
  • The HF 1837 Sampler - Beth says this gorgeous sampler features an intricate floral wreath, some lovely alphabets, two monograms representing Jesus and Mary as well as a fantastic lobster! Mmm, it'll be fun to see the design when i finally arrives next week! Finishes a generous 11 x 15 on 40ct!
  • Perry Pryor - Beth tells us there is strong evidence that this charming and primitive sampler was stitched in the 1830's by a boy. It features two large deer, a tree, some playful bands and a sweet saying. *Perry Pryor is my name, and with my needle I work the same, that everyone may plainly see what care my parents take of me* It finishes about 6 x 12 on 36ct.
  • Tudor Rose Biscornu - Beth's 5th floral biscornu-shaped pin cushion... it finishes towards a generous 4-inches in size, and features stitching on both the top and bottom.
The Mary Pearson Sampler

The Mary Pearson Sampler
Beth reproduced this for the Sandy UT Historical Society Museum. She has 4 pictures in here of actual areas of the original piece that are 'very strange indeed.' She has included LOTS of instructions, and lots of thoughts on how stitches were executed in the original.

Fun reading, there are 25 pages of the chart in here... and one-over-one detail, so probably not for a beginning stitcher to tackle. Charted for DMC floss, the book is a treat to look through... stitch count is 262 x 427.



Charlotte Ash 1827 from Heartstring Samplery
Heartstring Samplery's Beth Twist has sent new charts. Charlotte Ash 1827 - Quite an old little sampler in Beth's collection, it was stitched using wools, silks and cottons.

You see the bleeding from the black threads in her pic of the original. Pretty border, bold basket of flowers and seashells!


Dressmaker's Sewing Kit from Heartstring Samplery
Dressmaker's Sewing Kit This is a set of three pieces - motifs taken from a larger unfinished antique sampler in Beth's collection: a sewing tray, needle book and drum pin cushion.

The little girl who stitched the original sampler 'might have made' these pieces for her sewing kit based on the motifs in her sampler. Beth talks about finishing techniques in here... and color changes... if you want!


Fruit Basket Pendant from Heartstring Samplery - click for more
Fruit Basket Pendant
Another cool way to finish a stitching project, this is a traditional fruit basket design that is stitched with one strand of Weeks hand-dyed floss over one square of 32ct silk gauze. Actually easier to see than 32ct linen, you are making a whole cross stitch, and filling in the background with black. Then, the tiny 1 x 1-1/2 inch oval bit of needlework is mounted into a wooden cut-out pendant/frame/ornament piece.

Just 45 x 67 in stitch count... I think this would make a really pretty ornament addition to your tree! Kit includes chart, gauze, threads, backing felt and hanging ribbon, wooden piece and instructions for assembly.


IL 1817 from Heartstring Samplery - click for more IL 1817
Oh, better buy enough floss for this little guy! Stitched on Week's 40ct straw linen, this has a stitch count of 349 x 249, so will finish approx 17-1/2 x 12-1/2 in size. Beth took two years to get his charted and chose DMC flosses because she didn't want the hand-dyed varigation effects. The original sampler is faded, but not streaked like hand-dyeds would have given you.

A pastoral farm scene... lots of animals everywhere... the border is gorgeous and lush... but, wow... there is a lot of solid stitching in here! Offered as a chart.


Really Mercy Five
  • Really Friends - Another release of a previous exclusive design, inspired by Jane Austin - it measures approx 7-1/2 x 11 on 32ct. The bottom band looks really charming with the castle and carriage on it, but we'll know more when the patterns are in our hands! Available in a chart format.
  • Mercy Megginson 1849 - Beth describes this as a 'bright and cheerful' piece: Mercy was 11 when she stitched it, and it finishes approx 10 x 12 on 32ct. Chart includes lots of genealogical research into her life story - which always makes the stitch more fun and the finished piece more special. Weeks and Classic Flosses, 32ct Fox and Rabbit Hogbristle.
  • Five Songbirds - An adaptation of part of Mercy Megginson's sampler- I see Adam and Eve on there, so I think it's part of the bottom area. Good colors, cute trims... Same fabric as the main sampler.

Precious Littles from Heartstring Samplery - click for more
  • Precious Littles - A set of 5 pin-cushion-sized little bits...

  • Let it Begin With Me from Heartstring Samplery - click for more

    Let it Begin With Me
    A bitty pin cushion-sized design, the measures only 59 x 77 in stitch count, so over one on 28ct it's only 2 x 3-ish!

    Pretty hand-dyeds, just a simple design... you could do Satins on the sawtooth border!



    Susan Scott 1734 English Sampler from Gentle Pursuit Designs Autumn Sampler Compendium by Gentle Pursuit Designs Autumn Sampler Compendium and Susan Scott 1734 English Sampler
    from Gentle Pursuit Designs
    Two new samplers have arrived... beautiful booklet charts - 9 and 24 pages respectively - both clearly charted.

    Three more delights - all with different finishing treatments...
    Sister Sampler Pinkeep - This one is stitched on two different colors of linen - and then joined into one cushion.

    Liberty Sewing Pouch - 36 Weeks hand-dyed Parchment Linen with Weeks flosses, this measures about 6-1/2 x 9 - primitive in design and construction.

    1806 Manor House Sewing Roll - This is very pretty! Put your closure ribbon at either end - depending on what you want to show when this is rolled up. (But maybe you want to display it open like in the pic? Finished size is 7-1/2 x 15... I like all the design elements she's featured!


    Stacy Nash Sisters Three Pinkeep -- click to see more Sisters Three Pinkeep
    from Stacy Nash
    Here's a sweet piece -- finished into a small pin cushion pillow. Stitch count is 51 x 64, making it finish approx 3 x 4 on 32ct. With the bit of homespun finishing fabric, the overall pillow will be 4 x 6-ish.

    Worked in Gentle Art's Brethren Blue, Straw Bonnet and Apple Cider, it will make a nice addition to your basket of stuffed cushions! (Note: the stitch count and finished size is mis-quoted on the instructions... be advised when you cut your fabric. Doesn't hurt the design... just confuses you a bit!)


    Stacy Nash Thistles & Spells Pinkeep -- click to see more Thistles & Spells Pinkeep
    from Stacy Nash
    Another eerie graveyard scene this design finishes approx 8 x 9 on 32ct Tin Roof. Huge for a pin keep, small for a pillow.

    It really coordinates with the Potions, Mourning tree and Pumpkin Harvest piece.


    Stacy Nash Cat & Mouse Pinkeeps & Slipper -- click to see more Cat & Mouse Pinkeeps & Slipper
    from Stacy Nash
    Stacy Nash has a few new designs, the finishing on this one is fun and different. Worked on week's 30ct Cocoa linen in only 4 shades of floss, the main cat pillow measures approx 6 x 8, the pinkeep is 3-1/2 inches square and the cute little slipper is only 1-1/2 x 5-1/2!

    It's a cute set... and if you do nothing else... LOVE that little slipper... and finish some other designs that way! What a fun piece to tuck into a basket of finished pin cushions!

So, along with her preview of designs coming... this offers the monthly calendar pages, and several pages at the end to log special projects, and your needlework-related notes!

    You can see from my pics that this book can hang like a traditional wall calendar if you like, but I think it'd be really happy stuffed into your daily stitch tote to help keep you organized! I have some of the inside pictures when you click through the images. Isabelle printed a sticker-sheet of tiny vintage images - so you can decorate your pages and dates a little. This would make a lovely stitcher-friend gift - but get one for YOU too!

    Mouse and Owl join, Kitty, Puppy, Cocoa, Snowkids, Ornaments, Sugarplums and Reindeer. The names are spelled out in alphabet buttons... these are wood with paper letters, but Just Another Button Company has letter 'tiles' almost like Scrabble letters. They look great on these stockings, 4 different colors... we special order your name's letters. Pattern suggests 2 inches of fabric around design -- a little easier on Santa's budget! Whooo has 4 tiny black buttons in those eyes... big beads will work as well.

    Although the hornbook is technically supposed to be displayed with the handle downwards... where one would hold it... to avoid having to drill holes in your paddle piece... you could always 'adapt' and hang it on the tree from the top hole in the handle! (We won't send the Cross Stitch Police after you!) Offered as the chart, stitched on 32ct linen in overdyeds... linen, hornbook and buttons (8 stars and 1 sheep) all available separately.

Stitched on 32ct with Sampler Threads, there is a bit of over-one stitching and Nun's and Blanket stitches garnishing the edges.

    Leaves from Nikyscreations
    • Leaves - A 7 x 8 piece stitched with DMC floss, the house in the center has a filled-in background -- making it a little picture in the center of the busy birds and vines surrounding it. What makes it fun are the wool acorn cut-outs Niky has added to the left side as part of her finishing treatment. Super-simple, yet they add texture and an additional focal point. Leaves is shown finished as a pocket... but it'd be cute as a pin cushion too - and you could do more acorns on the back if you wanted to.

    Blooming Scissor Fobs from Nikyscreations Blooming Scissor Fobs
