Heart's Content Armchair PinpokeScattered Seed Samplers has a new design that offers a neat finishing idea for some of the other charts-in-waiting in your stash! Designed to be a pin cushion to hang over the arm of your stitching chair, *Busy hands, happy heart* decorates one side, and *Hand and heart will never part* decorates the other. Charted for only 4 colors of DMC -- 221, 3011, 3790 and 3799, you'll need to choose cushion finishing fabric (and maybe change floss colors) to match your furniture. Simple finishing instructions are included with the chart for the 4-1/2 x 12 overall project. It would make a really nice gift for a stitching friend, and maybe a super-cool finishing idea for a smaller pin cushion exchange thing! (Wouldn't some small Lizzie Kate or Just Nan designs be cute on this??? If you are super-gifted you could even make a pocket on one side of this for scissors!) | |||||
 A Token of Spring A Sweet set of three 'panels' surround this 4-1/2 inch high drum that is 3-1/2 inches in finished diameter. Just 9 shades of regular DMC floss, there are instructions in here for tea staining as well as the drum assembly process. Simple bluebirds and two different urn designs, a very pretty presentation on a shelf in front of a sampler. | |||||
Happy Hearts RejoiceMore sweet birds on a pin cushion top, I actually like the finishing on this at least as much as the stitching! What a pretty edging treatment, so you don't need trim! Stitching measures just 4 x 4... using this edge treatment... you could even make this as a 'mattress bottom' to a special basket. (You know -- the one you are slowly filling with all your stitched pin cushions which are fashionable to call *Bowl Fillers!*) Coded for just 6 colors of DMC. | |||||

Plenty & Grace SamplerBrenda 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.

 Birds Sampler *The Bird which soars on highest wing builds on the ground her lowly nest, and she that doth most sweetly sing, sings in the shade when all things rest.* mmm... I'm writing my words for this, but I'm really not sure what that verse is supposed to be telling me! I just like the shapes, the border, and the colors in this! Measuring 159 x 209, this is charted for DMC floss. That verse is over one... so if by chance you want to change it and write something else in that place... make it go over two if it fits! Colors are 310, 738, 951, 356, 730, 3041, 3371, 680, 924, 3042, 355, 733 and 502. Pretty colors. | |||||
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!!!!! (We learned to do that in our Shakespeare's Peddler Retreat Class this past summer!) | |||||
The Hetty Child Sampler An original sampler design by Brenda Keyes, Hetty Child must be the fictitious girl who stitched this!!! Actually a very simple piece, executed entirely in crosses, this has such an appealing look... I think it's that wonderful, exquisite border!!! So even, so patterned, so repetitive, such pretty pinks and greens... the diamond shapes are repeated in the central flower basket motif... and surrounded by various traditional symbols. (I know those squirrels represent mischief!!!) Anyhow, finishing almost 11 x 11 on 28ct linen, this is worked in regular DMC shades of pinks, soft greens, light beige and soft brown. Lovely, it's offered as a chart. | |||||

Lots of Nun Stitch, Satins, Smyrnas, and Eyelets, this uses Weeks flosses of Aztec Red, Bullfrog, Cappuccino, Grasshopper, Peach Fuzz, Swamp Water and Whiskey. You'll need to use 36ct to get it to fit the box, and will need a schnigglet cut for the backing on the top and inside lids.

 The Last of the 4 Seasons of Floral Pots and Vases Wow... these are gorgeous!! Each chart has 6 different pots, urns or vases of seasonal florals surrounded by a fillagreed border. The cover pics are very small, but opening the charts -- they are printed beautifully in color and can easily be stitched individually. The actual florals run about 50 x 50 stitches each, without their borders and names. Charted for DMC, this is a lovely collection, you could split them up and make a whole bunch of pin cushions for one basket... or a long row to hang horizontally or vertically on a skinny wall... so pretty!

Be My ValentineMore cute Gnome charm... they are just sitting there on the tree branch -- Love is in the air! Stitch count of 106 x 148... you might have someone to stitch this for!!! | |||||
 Twinkle, Twinkle, Christmas Star By Cuore e Batticuore of Italy, this pretty piece just LOOKS like it's twinkling! A pair of angels floating over a lacy star, it measures 189 x 210 - so 10-1/2 x 13 on 36ct, and is stitched with DMC. The fabric they used is actually printed with the little spots. If that is not available to you - just stitch them individually... kind of a pain... but really, really charming if you can stick with it! This design would be perfect for bead and opalescent metallic additions - make all that snow glisten! | |||||
 Pink Power from PuntiniPuntini" *Anything is possible with sunshine and a little pink!* Isn't this a happy piece? It has a coconut drink with a little umbrella for that sunshine, palm fronds and a darling handmade polymer clay flamingo pin!

Happy sunshine with a little pink! | |||||
Dog Lovers Presented as charts, each measures 70 x 90 in stitch count. Coded for DMC, change your house colors and what you have growing in the pots if you need to... but don't change the cute little clay puppy sitting on the front steps! You get that button along with the round 'paw' button above the door, and the matching (smaller version) dog pin that you see up on the roof. If you stitch just the house, and not the bottom border, they'd make a 4-inch pin cushion, and then you could stick that pin in there where ever you want! Each chart comes with its necessary 3 Puntini clay pieces. And don't miss the Dog Pins and Cat Pins, just below, if you want even more embellishment! | |||||
 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! Presented as the chart with pin and buttons, make sure to see the rest of the Puntini hand-made pin and button collection we have -- it is full of CHARMING things! | |||||

 Halloween Another of Sara's 'landscape' scenes... Halloween measures about 17 inches square on 32ct -- the same as all her other scenes.

Each measures a whopping 360 x 190 in stitch count -- or 20 x 11 on 18/36ct. Kind of large... so if you don't want that whole thing, break apart the design elements and use your favorites.

Charted for approx 40 different shades of DMC floss! | |||||

You can choose any fabric and count you like, though, AND stitch ANY or ALL parts of each piece. Charted for DMC floss, there are little villages and animals all over the place... and you can see how the little sections would be fun to break up and stitch individually to make smaller cushions.

You want everyone to be able to see all the stitch detail easily. Offered as a chart, coded for silks, it looks like FUN to stitch, because all is packed into such a tiny area. | |||||

 Home Springs Eternal What a pretty piece by Shakespeare's Peddler -- the house, the alphabet, the border and basket -- and of course the lock and key to keep all safe and sound! Teresa's sampler has a stitch count of 145 x 95, and can be stitched on almost any fabric of your choice. She chose two different colorways for this, or you can follow the alternate selections of Sampler Threads (in the regular color line) or even DMC. Pretty browns and greens, the house is stitched in Gold Rush (Gold Leaf) and there is a hint of Raisin (Grape Arbor) in the window panes and flowers. Offered as the chart with coordinating clay flower button embellishment (see it on the floral urn?) | |||||
 Antique Spring Sampler -- Ann Hobbs 1834 This is another sampler residing in Teresa's *Private Collection* (how neat is that!) that came from England. Originally stitched in 1834, the color palette of this features soft shades of beige, blue, gold, rose and coral -- so lovely! Teresa includes a page of history about Ann, where she came from, and speculation about ink spills on her original piece. That sort of thing is so much fun to read about! The verse reminds one to not put off things that are worthwhile... not 'To Put Religion By'...Very, very pretty! (She loaned us her stitched piece for a few weeks!) | |||||
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! | |||||
All Things SamplerHere's a fun design... it's a medley of cute motifs that might be found in Pennsylvania Dutch Antique Samplers. Check out the mermaid right above the letter m!!

Offered in leaflet format, this is stitched on Weeks 35ct Confederate Gray linen using Classic Colorworks Belle Soie Silks. Get out that stash... because there are 23 different colors in here! Hopefully you have a bunch of them, because they run $7.50 each!!! Finished size is 8 x 19!!!!! Offered as the leaflet. | |||||
Apple Blossom Needlebook and Scissor Case from Faby Reilly DesignsSuch a pretty sewing set... we have a biscornu that matches these. Worked on 32ct Antique White Belfast linen in DMCs and embellished with a touch of gold beading, these are full of brilliant pinks and bold greens. Every piece in the set features a slightly different version of the signature design, so everything matches but is unique! Offered as two different charts. | |||||
 My World 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. | |||||
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. | |||||
Chalkboard LessonA smart alphabet is punched amidst a checkerboard chalkboard! Super-hard to see in the pic, but the background is a checkerboard of DMC 3021 and 3371. The house and flower seem to sprout in an instant... bursts of color against the dark background. Very striking, this is a very pretty piece! Finishes approx 5 x 5 on the weaver's cloth, the piece is then 'matted' with a piece of Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed houndstooth wool. | |||||
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. | |||||

You even get a copper penny in here, to stuff into the fob for luck! | |||||
 Millicent's Miser Purse Hey, this is FUN! It's a skinny little purse patterned after antiques! I guess the misers didn't want a purse that was easy to get into!!!!!

Sylvie's Penny BagThis is the cutest thing... it's a mis-shapen little purse that you might have used years ago to keep track of your pennies! After all...

Stitch the miniature patchwork design on the 36ct Flax linen with one ply of hand-dyed floss or wool -- everything is presented on pre-sorted and labeled thread cards for you. Not much stitching, the added buttons, bitty wool circles, the silk ribbon bow, and the couched dividing lines add color and personality. Construct your tiny 2 x 4 bag with the muslin lining, the brown striped finishing fabric for the back, and the drawstring which tucks inside the brown grosgrain ribbon topping. A very different and colorful piece... I like it a lot! | |||||

Just a lovely design, such pretty colors and materials -- its a treat! | |||||

The 2015 Sampler Tree Ornament Series Little House Needleworks is beginning a new set of Sampler-Inspired ornaments in 2015 -- the first one -- Old Colonial is here now. Worked on 32 count linen, it finishes approx 3-1/2 inches square. Diane offers another way to work with your over-dyed threads, and has stitched this model with that technique. Pull your two strands of over-dyed floss, but reverse the direction of one of the strands. (Technically, you are now working with one thread against its grain... but life goes on, and it's OK!!) Then, stitch across your entire row, and return. That way, you are getting the mottled effects of the hand-dyed variations but not stitching whole X's at one time. Make sense? Old Colonial is presented in small chart format, and we will be offering an auto-ship for the charts. Fabrics are due to vary almost monthly. | |||||
Thread KeeperHere's a cute design that needs to grace the front of a thread pocket. Offered as the small chart, colors used are Classic's Bean Sprout, Blue Corn, Fool's Gold and Manor Red.

Happy HarvestA cheerful barn-like farmhouse surrounded by the Autumn trees, a garden full of plump pumpkins and BIG, hungry crows in the yard!

Did you notice that the border is made of wooden clothespins? And... this is a much more FUN way to use the stray buttons that come off in the wash, instead of sewing them back on where they came from! Liberty - Very primitive in feel... looks like the yellow house from With Needle and Thread's Sampler and the girl from 4th of July - but not exact. Fun border, pretty colors, just quiet. Measures 8 x 10 on 36ct, coded for Weeks flosses. | |||||
 One Stitch at a Time This is a sewing envelope design that features three panels of stitching along with a small matching fob/cushion piece. Stitched on a 32 or 36 neutral linen, the colors are quite pale - Confederate Gray, Adobe, Dove, Garrison Green and Arrowhead. Kimberly wanted a soft and antiquey look on her 5 x 5 envelope which is trimmed with lady dot's Blue Fescue Velvet and Rainy ribbon. The cut of wool you see measures 3 x 4 - to help with perspective. Since Kimberly designed this during all the lockdowns... fabric shopping for lining was not an option, but know that you can line your piece with anything else besides the solid you see behind that small wool panel. *Beautiful things come together one stitch at a time.* | |||||
 Blessed and Thankful I think that verse is describing the little squirrel! Stitched on 36ct (only the words are stitched over one thread) with Cypress, Charcoal, Picnic Basket, Endive, Cidermill Brown and Fragrant Cloves... this finishes approx 6-1/2 inches square on 36ct. I think some veins (long stitches) in the leaves would be pretty, and what about some Leviathons in the acorns and Satins on the caps? | |||||
 Scarlett House Sarah Jackson Stitched with Classic Colorworks of Roasted Chestnut, Hazelnut, Wilderness, Bing Cherry, Hickory Sticks, Ginger Snap, English Ivy, Nature Trail, Trail Dust and Antique Lace, it finishes approx 8 x 11 on Weeks 36ct Dove Linen. Not really involved stitching on this - the verse is over one, but the motifs are simple, and it's all very neat, tidy and balanced! The Dove linen is a pleasant color surprise. | |||||
 Holiday Berries, Mary Broom 1824 Tanya Brockmeyer of The Scarlett House has three new releases!
| |||||
 Scarlett House Julia Fletcher 1847 - This is a sweet set of pieces... the pincushion is stitched over one thread (on 40ct, but you can do whatever you like best), and finishes just 3 x 3. Next is the bitty fob - stitched over two it is only a little over one inch in size. Finally is the needle roll - it finishes approx 4 x 10 with that alphabet on the backside, with wool lining on the inside. The stripe you see on the roll is the finishing ribbon to tie it closed, and I think that red berry is an antique. (But you can make one out of Week's wool - the same color you line your roll with!)

 Ann Forfitt 1812 Nicola writes that nothing can be found about Ann Forfitt in family records of England! She did, however, stitch this gorgeous sampler that measures an impressive 519 x 570 in stitch count! Finishing approx 29 x 32 on 36ct, the verse was first published in the 1700s. Nicola has recharted this from the original sampler, which is part of her personal collection. The booklet is lovely as always, there is a lot of fun history about the village listed on the sampler, and the chart covers several pages, and is presented in full color. | |||||
 Hariet Hartland 1782 A favorite at 'Hands Across' this is large - about 14 x 16 on 40ct. Lots of special stitches along the little hills - the flower chart are all really pretty in here. 6 Pages of info about Hariet, her life and life in her time, the verses she used, on and on... I think I'm going to summarize the history a little but after the first paragraph of 6 pages, I'm overwhelmed at the info Nicola has just give me! | |||||
 When Thou Art Rich 239 x 257, 12 shades of cottons or silks. The pic is too red, fabric is really buttercream. | |||||

 Harry Potter, Star Wars 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! | |||||
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. | |||||
Miss ParisStitch count of 109 x 87, she's full of pink, and black charm! She's the consummate shopper, don't you just want to be in Paris with her and her little white dog???? Finishing approx 5 x 7 on 32ct, she'd make a darling photo album cover, or look great on the front of a little pink polka-dot tote! Just a delightful design... a favorite of mine! | |||||
Les Trois Sages'Three Wisemen.' A trio of little stitched Santa Elves! The stitched area on these is approx 45 x 90. You stitch the face and body, stuff them, and add the charming curly-q legs and some stick arms... and you have a precious trio! There are finishing instructions inside printed in English; she calls the stuffing 'wadding!' All three are charted in the pack. | |||||
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! | |||||
| |||||
Primitive Village RollDon't these houses look like those little painted wooden block houses??? Stitch this row of houses on just about any fabric you want... Liezbeth has chosen a 20ct for this -- so her pillow is 28 x 5! Actually, bigger, because she has that cool row of mismatched buttons going across the top. Very pretty, this is coded for regular DMC floss. If you want to work it on the larger linen -- we suggest #5 Pearl Cotton -- just like the Sepherd's Bush stockings. It covers well, is super easy to use, and comes in all the good colors -- DMC OR Hand-dyed! | |||||
In Memory of JaneWell, I don't know who Jane is... but I bet she had to learn this multiplication table... and it took her a long time to do it! Somehow or another these old tables always draw comments and are very eyecatching as needlework hanging on your wall. I guess all the numbers look daunting, until we remember that all of us learned all of this at some point, and were probably miserable during the process -- maybe like Jane? Finishing approx 10 x 13, it is a charming table with some softly colored quilt blocks lining the sides. | |||||
 The Cabinet Oh, this is full of what-nots, curiosities, toys, antiques, even a pile of fabrics, a sewing basket and tiny 'home sweet home' sampler!!! I love the part that this whole thing is stuffed full of *stuff* and then, there at the bottom is a sign that says 'Simplify!' What a fun piece! This measures 150 x 265 stitches -- so approx 9-1/2 x 16-1/2 inches on 32ct. Lots and lots of Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC colors, this is another piece that could handle any number of bitty embellishments you have unclaimed in your stash. Liezbeth has finished this in the shape of a little piece of furniture! | |||||
Pinkeep of the DayThis is actually the cutest thing! You stitch a different stylized flower for each day of the week. Find that cool *Simplify* ribbon (a search on the web??). (We're back to the silliness that pin cushions for every day of the week really don't simplify your life -- but who cares?!) Then, find a MANGY wood tray or box. LOOK at what Liezbeth has done... she's found assorted and unmatched cabinet knobs (Anthropologie has tons of cool ones... old glass, mangy metal!), screwed them into the tray and hung her cushions!! Super cool and creative! And the little flower cushions are delightful -- don't forget about them! | |||||
Strawberry FieldsStrawberry houses, strawberry vines, a jar of jam... and a few lyrics from The Beatles... this is an interesting sampler with an equally interesting little mushroom house down near the bottom. Can you see the Strawberry outline in the center around the tree -- it has an alphabet all around it. Fields finishes approx 16 x 26 on 35ct -- so it's quite large. Worked in all three brands of hand-dyed flosses or DMC, that little strawberry at the top is upside down, the top greens making the landscaping... and it's a little house!!!! (make it into a scissor fob or a little thimble holder!) | |||||
Rudolph's TravelsOh gosh, this is cute! That same little fence as the sheep, this time we have the reindeer flying through the sky with the hint of the sleigh behind! Check out the finishing fabrics... choose something cute for the sky, and something coordinating for the sides -- and rik rak to cover the seams. Look at how she's graduated the buttons on there to follow the deer up into the sky? Sampler Threads for everythong, this finishes approx 5 x 10. Real cute finishing that is different!!!!br> | |||||
 New Spring 2022 Arrivals
| |||||
Hannah and her BirdsThis is a fun Springtime scene... I especially like the flower vines along the sides. All the houses are a little different... not so much the birds! Stitched on 36ct, it'll finish a petite 6 x 7 inches, and it is worked with Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC. | |||||
 Sale Designs from Thistles!
| |||||
 Home Is Where My heart Is from Thistles Thistles has a new design - a cute little pink and brown house surrounded by Cupid's arrows! It is shown finished into a heart-shaped cushion - it's actually rather large at 4 x 9 so that pillow is probably 8 x 11. Stitched with a smattering of Sampler threads, the chart is coded for DMC as well. | |||||
Crows & Pumpkins from ThistlesA fun medley of pumpkins, squash and crows... this displays a fun finishing idea. Each 'side' of the curtain is 80 x 185 stitches -- the design is reversed on the opposite side. (So, you only have to stitch this once if you want to make a pillow or something, and it could be 5 x 12 on 32ct.) Actually, it is finished as a curtain valance worked on 20ct linen. It features woolen hanging tabs at the top and penny-rug-flaps along the bottom for decoration. Really, really cute, I see this hanging in a cabin kitchen window, or a tiny powder room. Worked on 20ct linen, our 18ct will work as well... it just needs to be washed and dried in the dryer to get it soft and drapy. You can use DMC or hand-dyed floss -- at least 3 stands in the needle -- or size 5 Pearl Cotton. If you choose to make the curtain... just hang it in the most charming little window you can find! | |||||

For the Kitchen!Retro Kitchen Mixer Just too darn cute! 60 x 63 Stitches... DMC or Anchor... offered as a small chart. | |||||
Christmas TrioWe saw the finished pin cushion models from this -- they were really cute! Put them on gingham or polka dot linen -- they were 2 x 5 and 2 x 3-osh each! | |||||
Happy Easter TrioThe cutest things on here are the sheep and bunnies! The main piece is 4 x 5 -ish, the little fob is 27 x 27 (but you could leave off the year and it'd be half the size). The biscornu is super-cute -- like the others, it'll be fine finished flat if you like that shape better! | |||||
Kitchen Gadgets from Tiny Modernist Another fun thing for a first new kitchen! It'd be fun to find a retro set of glasses and lemonade pitcher at the flea market -- kind of like those pictured on the cover -- and use this as a housewarming gift! Offered as the chart, stitch count is 56 x 146. | |||||
 Easter Bunny House Tiny Modernist has finished her 4-part set of this darling little Egg House! We have all 4 charts bundled together now, so you can have the whole thing at one time! Measuring 136 x 179 - it finishes approx 10 x 13 on 14ct... actually pretty big in size. Charted for DMC thread, the whole thing is full of sweet little motifs, but I like the egg-painting table the best! Set of 4 charts. | |||||
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??? What a cool way to use coordinating designs?! What a neat way to use cool beads from your embellishment stash?! (With so many designs... you could stitch a tiny bit of the larger design as an accent... and attach it to the main piece!) Anyway, Christmas Robins's top design measures 39 x 46, while the bottom is a mere 25 x 25. Choose your fabric of choice... grab DMC floss from your stash and get BUSY! Offered as a chart. | |||||
| |||||
In the GardenWith Mimi-Pig! By Fairy Wool in the Wood, this charming 140 x 140 design features Mimi with her watering can surrounded by 6 blocks that feature scenes from her garden. Stitched on Fairy Wool's own hand-dyed 32ct linen (finishes 9 x 9), she has funny little blotches on here that look strange when nothing is stitched on it, but when you're finished, they look like little splotches of garden dirt! The fruit trees, the veges and tools, something about this is really charming. Everyone was into stickers this year at Market (I believe this is a limited edition market exclusive) and along with the linen I bought for each pattern, they all come with a sheet of Cassandra Fairywool's whimsical artwork on the charming stickers! | |||||
C is for Coffee
| |||||
My Sweet HomeThis piece can be stitched a couple of different ways... one with trees and a house, one without those but a picture inside instead. Using Weeks flosses, this finishes about 6 x 9 on 36ct... but if you are going to use a photo in the center - you might have to adjust your fabric count to make sure it fits. A really cool way to showcase a special family photo, it could be a 'family established' piece. | |||||
Pincushion Street - What a fun piece to hang in your foyer or guest room! Come in the evening or come in the morning -- come when you're looked for or come without warning. Friends always welcome on Pincushion Street.Not an original verse and it turns out that there are several *Pincushion* streets and avenues around the world as well! Doesn't make this any less charming! The big blue house is a combination of Brethren Blue and Bayberry Sampler Threads -- and this finishes approx 15-1/2 x 9 on 32ct. | |||||
 Arrivals from Hands On Design
| |||||
Indigo StarInspired by Polish Pottery patterns and hand-dyed indigo cottons, Cathy designed this sampler and the coordinating 5-pointed star pin cushion! The star is what fascinates me -- there are 8 different rectangular panels offered - choose 5 of the patterns for your star. She has you actually CUT right through some of your stitching... that is part of the reason why it looks like old scraps of fabric -- cut where-ever! The main sampler is stitched with Weeks navy floss and finishes approx 7 x 7. The star is also Navy, and finishes under 5 x 5. Offered as a chart with assembly instructions. | |||||
 The Fruit Thief -- Very primitive in flavor, teal and cinnamon colors, definitely choose a hand-dyed black for that huge crow, I think it needs that variation. 181 x 82 Stitches. | |||||
Winter Garden by Liz Mathews Winter Garden - Wintery blues and a pair of deer... this finishes about 6 x 9 on 36ct. Coded for Gloriana silk or DMC of 3859, 3750, 3051, 3011, 680, 822, 938, 3790, 932 and 535. | |||||

Gingerbread Mouse Elf StockingWell, if this isn't the cutest thing... I don't know what is! All the Gingerbread Mice asked for a stocking to snuggle inside while hanging on your tree. Here's the first stocking design!!! Measuring just 2-1/2 inches tall, this features peppermint candy, snowflakes, a decorated tree and a little gingerbread elf posing with a candy cane and holding his tiny elf mouse!!!

Pumpkins Collection from Madame ChantillyI LOVE THIS! Check it out! There are like 20 different pumpkins in here... all sorts of shapes and sizes, colors and patterns... some have funny smiles, other have strange eyes... everybody is different, and together they make a family! You could choose your favorites out of all of these - stitch a grouping and NAME them all after family members! Think of the possibilities with this one! | |||||
Presenting Little Miss Strawberry and Watermelon ButtsOh my gosh, these are DARLING! Madame Chantilly has two new designs -- A Walk in the Garden, and A Walk to the Sea. Just simple, seasonal pieces, each measures about 7 x 8 on 32ct... so if you want them smaller, leave off the border. We think they are charming, and have re-named them BECAUSE of their little rumps! 'Garden' is a spring strawberry, and 'Sea' is a summer watermelon! Presented as charts. | |||||
 Printemps and Ete We have two more seasons of snowglobes to join our others!!! Companioning Winter, Autumn and Christmas, each 50 x 60-ish globe is full of something for its season. Coded for DMC, they would all be cute stitched individually, but I like the idea of the trio. Stitch them on something teeny for a neat set of ornaments. Offered in chart format. | |||||
Volevo un Gatto NeroI have no idea what that title says... but I think that little owl is reading directions to his witch friend from a spells book. They may be trying to paint the white cat BLACK! Definitely a disaster, the cauldron is tipped on its side, and the kitty looks a little stunned! 159 x 98 stitches, add some metallics in those spiders and some beads to her petticoat -- how cute! | |||||
 Automne, and Noel There are trios of snowglobes -- each for its season. The charts are $26 each -- but really, you're getting 3 different 50 x 50-ish stitch count designs in each -- so they aren't too bad in price. I love each and every one of these -- each globe by itself is good -- I think the hedgehog in Autumne is my favorite, though. Stitch them in the trio, or individually -- beads and metallics are always good for the glass globes and the little floaties inside! | |||||
Halloween Week from Madame ChantillyHere's a cute little piece with a lot of small design elements that you can pull out and stitch individually. Glass jars... each features either a yummy desert, little witch, scared cat or that skull. You can put them on the shelf with the keys and greenery, or leave off the shelf and add the checkerboarded details. Those ghosts are so darn cute, too. The front of the chart has one pic, while the back features it stitched differently - so you can do a lot with this! Worked on 32ct gray linen, the individual jars are about 30 x 40, the ghosts are about 20 x 20, and everything just begs to be finished into a whole set of little pin cushions or ornaments for a Halloween tree! | |||||
 Halloween Cake Pops - Wow, this is cute! Stitch a row of 5 lollypops with their hovering ghosts... leave off the words if you feel like it! 5 cute little pokes, see how cute they'd be if you did them on paper, cut them out, mounted on a stick,tied a bow, then stitched the little word block and added it... then stuck them into pumpkins or the candy bowl! I think the mummy and Frank are my favorites! | |||||

Wedding at Mermaid CoveOh a wedding on the beach... lots of attendants, a candle-lit church, a visiting whale in the sea, and billowy winds blowing the clouds and waves! Your hand-dyed fabric will be giving the sky its drama, so choose a pretty, happy colored piece... (don't want to start the bride and groom off with stormy skies!) Susan and Pam always put a lot of cute little motifs in these scenes - this one is no different. Measures 282 x 160 - almost 18 x 12 on 32ct, it features lots of hand-dyed and DMC colors, as well as a little metallic and some glass beads. | |||||
Memorial ParkPraiseworthy Stitches has a new Summertime design -- an old fashioned ball game in the park! Stitched on 32ct light green linen with DMC and Weeks flosses, this finishes approx 12-1/2 x 6 on 28ct. It's Spring and the whole town has turned out to cheer for their teams at the first baseball game of the season. The wooden stands are packed and there are children in wagons and on the fences -- even the dog is in the outfield ready to catch one of the balls on the fly! Can't you just smell the peanuts, popcorn and the hot dogs? Yummmm! It's time to play ball! The Just Another Button Company buttons that garnish are *everywhere* in here... striped stars, the baseball, and all those little triangle flags -- those are buttons! | |||||
Family FourthPat 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. (Fob is now sold out) The kits are stuffed full of cool stuff... and they are including pretty good inside pics for your finishing info. Family Fourth - Looks like a schoolhouse - I think the green beads on the fob are sculpted flower shapes! | |||||
