Brenda uses a medley of DMC solids and Weeks hand-dyed flosses. | |||||

PA Dutch Tomato Pinkeep - A fun little design measuring just 9-1/2 x 3 on 36ct... you can finish it into the round drum shape - or just flat. It uses DMC floss #22 - one of the newest colors, which looks like a burnt-strawberry color. (#21 is the lighter companion color - might be fun to mix them in this!) Inspired by antique German show towels, it's a study in simplicity. Brenda includes instructions for the cute pedestal drum finishing. We now carry the delicious hand-dyed velvet used in this finishing! | |||||

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.

 Rhombus Lace Two new punch needle designs - each finishes 5 x 7 and is punched using DMC floss. She has them shown as box toppings on painter paper mache boxes... they also look good mounted like that to the front of an old book - not to stuff on a shelf, but to perch the same way you do a box! The designs are hand-drawn patterns for tracing onto your weaver's cloth. | |||||
 New Punch Needle Arrivals Folk Quilt Stars This finishes almost 9 x 5-1/2. | |||||
 This is the Day This is an endeavor! It finishes about 9-1/2 x 12 - so you'll be punching for a while! | |||||

Nancy's Sewing NecessariesThis is cross-stitched set of 7 smalls -- all inspired by an antique sampler stitched by Nancy Alden. A mini hornbook, pinkeep, berry, needlebook, scissor fob, pin cushion and sewing pouch... everything is worked on varying counts of fabric in hand-dyed flosses and wools. Lots of options here, we suggest you get the chart first, then decide which components you want to stitch on what. A very pretty set, presented in chart format. | |||||
 From The Lord A lovely family sampler... list all the children, grands and great-grands! Linda has this piece presented and finished in several ways. Framed, album covers, pin cushions, you have several different background choices... she suggests using them interchangeably!!! Get the pattern, study it a little, then decide how to execute. | |||||
 O My Soul, Quiet Moments, Thick & Thin
| |||||
Red Posey SamplerOh, this is a delightful little hornbook piece! Presented as a chart -- we have LIMITED finishing materials available for these! (So really, it's a kit!) You get the chart, the 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 black painted wooden hornbook, the hand-dyed flosses, finishing wool and ribbon cut! A simple alphabet with some traditional flowers... colors are Baby Spinach, Buckeye Scarlet, Espresso Bean and Oatmeal! Just the cutest little thing! | |||||
Christ's CrossRetiring! Christ's cross be my speed, in all virtue to proceed. A pretty bookmark to use in a very special book... Linda has included the cut of gold grosgrain ribbon to finish your piece just like the marker in the pic. I love the alphabet... she's spelled out 'Double U!' Offered as a chart with cut of 40ct gauze and the ribbon, the stitched area is approx 1-1/4 x 6-1/4 in size! | |||||
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! | |||||
BelieveRetiring! Lots of things to remind you of the Christmas Season, this tiny stitched tree shape measures 83 x 104 stitches. Linda has worked it on 40ct silk gauze and embellished each tree 'branch' with a tiny gold petite seed bead, and added a small brass star to the top. Rather than framing this, she has mounted it onto a vintage Christmas Card and added a few old buttons. It'd make a pretty, lightweight tree ornament this way, and would be kind of neat perched on an easel as a decoration as well. Just a different finishing thought! Offered as the chart with gauze and star, flosses and beads come from your stash. | |||||
Linger in the SnowfallRetiring! This is really pretty. The background needs to be worked first -- so you can SEE where all your white stitches will go -- on that white gauze. Because you are executing only a half stitch -- you get an empty area that is 'diagonal' rather than totally square, so Linda is using some whole Crosses to make the flakes a better shape. Then, you have a white Saw Tooth Satin Stitched border surrounding this -- but I don't think you can see that in the picture. Very simple in color and really elegant, this measures a mere 2 x 2 on the 40ct gauze. | |||||
 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. | |||||
Trick or TreatWho ever heard of a Halloween Stocking? This is darling!!! Erica Michaels has made a miniature stocking out of Weeks Dye Works hand dyed wools, and stitched the coordinating cuff over one on 40ct silk gauze! A jack-o-lantern face, just as simple as can be... your stitched area is only 2 x 2! These silk gauze designs are so *do-able!* I hope she does a whole series of these! If you're not a stocking-gal... just frame Trick or Treat... or make a needle case... or an ornament! Offered as the chart with bit of gauze, in case you want to try it! | |||||
 Blessings Be More May your trouble be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door. Pretty housewarming gift! | |||||
 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. | |||||
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. | |||||
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! | |||||
Reindeer RouteOh, we like this one! We like that hill, and the houses and trees cascading right along it. It's light and colorful -- the sky is a mixture of 522 and 524. Again, all DMC flosses, 3-strand needle, this finishes 5 x 5. | |||||
 New 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. Kits are limited. | |||||
Peace To One and AllA peaceful pastoral scene... you could fall asleep counting all those sheep! At first, I thought this was Christmas... but there is green grass... and the title talks about A Summer Landscape. I love that small scenery at the bottom... you could even leave off the wording! Offered as a chart, the entire piece finishes approx 5 x 7 on 30ct. | |||||
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. | |||||
Les Lettres de mon JardinLetters from my Garden. This is a stitcher sampler! She's sitting outside in her garden, finishing up a few projects... this is charted for either the blue (overdyeds) or rose (DMC) colored version, and is just the sweetest little thing! 107 x 102. There is a wooden scissor embellishment shown on each -- we do not have those -- you'll need to visit your stash for something cute to dress this piece, if you like. | |||||
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! | |||||
| |||||
 Merry Yuletide Weeks Monkey Grass and Garnet hand-dyed flosses, a few Mill Hill gold seed beads and some sparkly Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid, this pretty piece finishes approx 4 x 4 on 32ct white. | |||||
 Happy Easter That little tree has 15 decorated eggs hanging from it! Stitched on 32ct Cram Belfast, it uses Clay Pot, Shutter Green, Peoria Purple and DMC 3889 flosses. | |||||
Love is the KeyA pretty monochromatic study of Lovebirds... both of these variations are stitched with Weeks Garnet hand-dyed floss. The larger one measures 85 x 75 so will finish approx 5 x 6 on 28ct, while the smaller one will be 3-1/2 x 4. I think they would make pretty pin cushions! | |||||
 Burst of Spring - March, April and May This is a trio of charts that **each present one-third of the final design.** Part one includes the border. Worked on 28ct Lavender Provence Linen you'll need Blooming Crocus Classic Colorworks hand-dyed floss to create this lavender effect! Each block is approx 3-1/2 inches square, so the final combo will be 9-1/2-ish long. If purple isn't your favorite.... shop for a pretty fabric that is FIRST, and then find a pretty floss color to accent the fabric! | |||||
 Christmas Trio Stitched on 32ct Waterlily, each piece measures between 1-1/2 and 3 inches square. Choose one hand-dyed color of thread -- anything you like -- and change out the fabric if you want to as well!! Finish as pin cushions, ornaments, fobs... whatever! Autumn Trio Stitched on 28ct Clay linen, choose Ginger Snap, Desert Mesquite, Red Currant, Queen Bee and Tiger's Eye hand-dyeds. Cute little floral urns for autumn... something you can leave out well into November! | |||||
 Milk Jam from Lilipoints I had never heard of Milk Jam, but this is the recipe! It turns out that milk jam is the name for a boiled-down carmelized milk-sugar mixture that is used as a food and ingredient. Milk jam is used as a spread and as an ingredient for making desserts such as pudding, flan or ice cream. It is also often used as a filling for cakes. 191 stitches x 180 stitches, 13 x 13 on 28 count. | |||||
My Dearest MommyLilipoints has a sweet piece that we've ordered into the shop! A wispy-light bouquet of hearts and love... the leaves and 'flowers' are decorated with all sorts of great *mommy words!* A generous 194 x 194 stitch count, this is offered as a chart, and coded for DMC. What a lovely new-mother gift! Notice the personalization along the bottom. Just sweet, sophisticated and sleek! | |||||
 Lifesaver Ring Lili Points has nautical-themed pieces that I really like! We had to go to the internet to try to interpret what they say... and I think we did pretty well. I cannot tell anywhere on the patterns if they actually have formal names... so I guessed! Next, is a big life-preserver... it reads... The sea is just as deep in calm or in storm. Kind of calms the problems life seems to deliver our way. Both are wispy, windblown and belong in a beach house!!! I love them! Each is offered as a chart, and generally finish approx 10 x 10 on a 32ct. | |||||
 Tea 182 x 171 Stitches, it just says 'tea' in different languages and fonts. Creme, beige and reds. | |||||
 A Friend 'A friend is someone who knows us well, but loves us just the same.' Pretty hearts, very cheery. Count is 194 x 183. | |||||
 Herbs 'de Provence Here are exquisitely sophisticated designs that belong in a classy, streamlined, modern, new kitchen!!! Or maybe in an old-world farmhouse kitchen -- the kind with windows and doors everywhere, a creaky wood floor, faded cotton curtains... and dried lavender! (and the vineyard sprawling from the kitchen window's view...) Olive Oil and Garlic, the major food groups, are featured in these deliciously unique pieces, cross stitched in DMC flosses, on any fabric of your choosing. By Lili Points of France, each is offered as a chart, and measures approx 12-1/2 inches square on 32ct! Quite impressive as kitchen artwork, I just love the simplistic, clean, fresh style... think about some ultra-suede mats on these, or contemporary frame treatments... Something very different for the American market, very nice! | |||||
 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. | |||||

All coded for DMC and/or hand-dyed flosses, everything you see has been stitched on various colors of 36ct linen, and each is trimmed with various hand-dyed chenille trims. Just small and simple... look at all the fun trinket-y props they've added to the bowls to accent the stitching!

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 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.

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.

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!) | |||||

Winter Comes from Heartstring Samplery Wow, here's an example of what different fabric colors will do for a piece! This is the same design - stitched on black or a lighter neutral! Inspired by Beth's love of the season and children's poetry, she wrote a few rhymes to highlight her snowy winter scene. The house with glowing windows, smoke wafting from the chimney, animals in the yard, and falling snow... it all looks so different on each of the fabrics - but the thread colors are THE SAME! Stitch it with or without the words - 'with frost and snap and gust and snow... with branch and howl, and drip and blow... with wool and boot and mitt and mug... with curl and book and hearth and snug.' Charming! | |||||

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!

Hannah's Samplerfrom Shakespeare's Peddler Here is Shakespeare's Peddler's newest reproduction sampler - Hannah's Sampler.

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.

 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?

Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 6 x 13 on 28ct, and uses a mixture of Weeks and Crescent Colours Overdyeds and a few DMCs too. Very pretty, vibrant lavender and greens! | |||||
Cookies & MilkThe bestest comfort food snack! Finishing approx 5-1/2 x 7-1/2 on 30ct Cocoa Linen, coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. | |||||
Family HomeIs what makes a house a home. Something fun for a growing family... this might make a nice housewarming gift. Add the family surname, you could add initials below the people... and I bet you can find a tiny dog or cat chart somewhere and add that in here too! Right now, with no design changes, it will finish approx 9 x 4 on 32ct. Offered as a chart, it uses DMC and hand-dyeds. | |||||
Noel from All Through the NightChristmas designs... Stocking is small -- only 45 x 48 stitches. It features a cut of wool or fabric as the stocking! I could see a JABCO bell button on the end of the hat.. a carrot nose button, and red beads for all those berries! Cute! Noel is larger -- 101 x 162. Lots of Gentle Art flosses, I love the distressed dishes holding the ornaments -- but those glass balls would be neat presented by themselves, as well. A neat, unique design. All are offered as charts. | |||||
 Stitch an Inch Garden from By the Bay This is a fun collection of different flowers that are all 28 x 28 stitches each. Donna presented them in 6 color families - 1 color set of 4 flowers each month. She has all sorts of borders in the charts, so you can stitch flowers individually or grouped just about anyway you want! That big box of the 24 shows everything in the set, but you can arrange THAT piece any way you wish as well! A little confusing because there are so many options... but basically you are getting 24 different-but-coordinating flowers... all an inch or two in size... in a rainbow of colors! This series began in January of 2019 and finished in June of 2019. | |||||
 One Stitch at a Time from Samplers Not Forgotten 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.* | |||||
Mary Cook 1795 SamplerA traditional Adam & Eve piece -- this finishes approx 14 x 15 on 40ct. Coded for Classic Colorworks Belle Soie Silks, very symetric and organized, Tanya owns the original sampler in her personal collection! | |||||
Ann Long 1826This is a pretty piece! Neat border, pretty floral basket motifs, the verse tells you to work as hard as bees do to reject the ill and take the good. It's a cool verse and there is a lot going on in here... it'll make a commanding sampler on your wall. Measures 297 x 327 -- so 16-1/2 x 18 on 36ct -- quite good sized. Coded for 4 brands of silks or DMC. This sampler is in Tanya's personal collection -- she shares Ann's Birthday... only Ann is 130 years older!!! | |||||
 Mary Broom 1824 Tanya Brockmeyer of The Scarlett House has new releases! Mary Broom 1824 - This one finishes approx 6 x 6 on 40ct. Stitched with Chrysanthemum, Beige, Tatanka, Grasshopper, Dove, Teal Frost, Bright Leaf and Cocoa, the verse, dogs and windows are stitched over one. Just a small thing... the colors are dusty and aged pastel - the border has the Chrysanthemum and Teal Frost in it | |||||
 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!) Chart. | |||||
 Scarlett House Harriot Passey 1838 - The color of fabric is named 'Dirty Teacup!' The sampler definitely elevates that picture in my mind! Tis religion that can give sweetest pleasures while we live, tis religion can supply solid comfort when we die. | |||||

 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! 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! | |||||
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! | |||||
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> | |||||
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! Rail-A-Way An old-fashioned train platform... might be kind of fun to hang over a row of coat hooks, or in a guest room. Coded for Weeks Dye Works hand-dyeds or DMC, it's a bitty 4 x 10 on 36ct Picture This Plus Ale Linen. | |||||
 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! | |||||

 Ebony and Ivory from Tempting Tangles | |||||
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. Stitch them flat and frame them, or make small pin cushions, or do the offset Biscornu finishing treatment for the tufted versions. The first design is the dragon; next is a mermaid. Others will include a gnome, genie, unicorn... you get the idea. More cute and colorful stuff by Tiny Modernist! | |||||
 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! | |||||
H is for Holly H is for Holly -- the wreath of holly is really kind of neat because it doesn't repeat easily to your eye. | |||||
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. | |||||
A Banner Year! This is the first of an 'occasional series' - Cathy has no set release date schedule for the rest to come... but we are promised a companion design trio by year's end. These three triangles finish together to form a little seasonal banner. They are stitched on 32ct Kermit hand-dyed linen by Picture This Plus. They are coded for Colour & Cotton hand-dyeds as well as DMC floss. | |||||
Winter WhitesAnother cute block pin cushion to companion Stitching By The Sea! I think this must be a 4-Seasons Set in the works -- we have Summer and Winter now! Worked on 28ct Hazelnut linen, it calls for hand-dyeds of Hunter, Bluecoat Blue, Chalk, Ohio Lemon Pie, Evergreen and Banker's Gray. Trimmed with gigantic Sunshine Yellow rik-rak trim by Dames of the Needle, it is garnished with a matching set of pins by Just Another Button Company. Excellent finishing instructions are included in the chart -- 10 pictures of the process! You'll need a 16 x 16 cut of fabric as well as a 13 x 13. If you are frugal, you can get by with a 1/4 yard cut -- 18 x 27. | |||||

 Arrivals from Hands On Design

 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. | |||||
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. | |||||
 from Praiseworthy Stitches This kit is packaged in a 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 x 1/2 inch Holiday tin. It becomes the sewing case, and you're making the Joy & Noel pin cushion to tuck inside. You get the tin, chart, linen and flosses, backing fabrics, some plastic snowflake thread winders, and the beads you see to make the scissor fob. All very cute and compact! | |||||
| |||||
Halloween HopThis is a chart with a wide design - just like Santa Claus Lane. You can stitch the 15 x 5 picture, or make it into a round, weighted stand-up drum. Pam and Susan aren't showing us the other side of this little guy, but it's probably really cute! Stitched on Picture This Plus's 32ct 'Ancient' linen with hand-dyed flosses, it features Mill Hill bead embellishments, silver metallic and 8 different Just Another Button Co buttons! | |||||
Autumn QuakerHere's a pretty Quaker motif sampler -- a small tribute to the beauty and colors of the fall season.

Finishes 11 x 7... and calls for Mulberry, Sweet Potato, Indian Summer, Picnic Basket, Piney Woods and Pumpkin Pie. YUM! Presented as the chart. | |||||
 Trick or Treat Costumes & giggles, candy & sweets, ghosts & ghoulies, It's Trick or Treat! Choose any mangy colored linen to stitch this charming evening scene that finishes approx 16 x 8 on 14/28ct. Worked with Weeks hand-dyed flosses, the spider web is silver metallic thread and there are quite a few button embellishments scattered everywhere on here. Some of Pam and Susan's haunted houses are quite large... this is a smaller version with some of the same personality! You get the cute ghost... look at all the black cats! The house is an elegant Victorian as well. Charts are huge, with color instruction accents, very easy to read. | |||||
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!

Susan and Pam always put a lot of cute little motifs in these scenes - this one is no different.
