New York/New Jersey SamplerOH... this is for anyone who loves New York and/or New Jersey!!!

Offered as a leaflet with awesome silks, metallics and assorted embellishments, you are treated to a band sampler full of fun stitches and the neatest motifs! The Statue of Liberty, the clock on 5th Ave, Atlantic City's Boardwalk, a Big Apple, Sugar Maples and Northern Red Oaks, Goldfinches and Bluebirds. The Brooklyn Bridge, the Jersey Shores and Cape May, even a short lesson on how to hail a cab!!! She has tidbits about New York and New Jersey history all throughout the pattern -- explaining why everything is in here... the whole thing is just like a miniature vacation -- all from your stitching chair! Finishes approx 5 x 14 on 32ct Confederate Gray Belfast Linen. | |||

Satin stitches around the border, a row of Hungarian, and some Bead Cup stitched leaves, it is stitched in your choice of YUMMY hand-dyed silks of golden and lavenders AND/OR the same butterscotch golds and teal blues; the thread packet contains BOTH colorways! The words 'take time to scrapbook' are stitched on here... but you could change 'scrapbook' to 'family'... because of the little photograph -- of your choosing -- that you get to attach in the lower right-hand corner. It is a lovely design, easy to work, and full of pretty color! Offered as the leaflet with 2 sets of silks and beads. | |||
Stitching is My Happy Hour and Happy When Stitchingfrom Needle Bling Choose one or both of these... they both get the message across! Choose any fabric from your stash, grab either DMC's or handdyeds... each finishes about 3 x 7. Just for fun! | |||
Walkin' On Sunshinefrom Luhu Stitches Isn't this a fun design? It breezed through our doors this week, and just makes me smile! By Cyndy Young of Luhu Stitches, it is worked on a light blue (any pretty blue or yellow would be good...) and finishes just 4 x 6 on 14/28ct. Finish it as a flat hanging or a fun block-shape stand-up. I am dating myself, but when I was in something like 3rd grade, I had a *Thing Maker*... it was a little cooker thing, and you poured the 'Plasti-Goop' into little metal trays and cooked *Fun Flowers.* That sun reminds me SO MUCH of the flowers that I made in my Thing Maker! (I was so cool when I was 10!) Anyway, cute design, coded for Weeks and DMC... enjoy! | |||
The Secret Collection Released over several years time... Trilogy has a delightful set of 5 x 5 designs all centered around the seasons, holidays and a few hobbies. If you can tell from the pics, most of them have no definite top or bottom to the design! You can turn them on their side... and motifs in the piece are still facing up. Presented in kit format, each contains a cut of 32ct linen, chart, and it's necessary embellishments - you add bits of floss from your stash. Lots of different and fun themes... take a peek! Float your cursor over each image to see its name. | |||
Sneak Peek for Christmas!The Trilogy's 5-panel piece of glimpses into Christmas has all arrived!

Offered as the leaflet, this finishes approx 5-1/2 inches square on 32ct. | |||
 Halloween Line UpTrilogy celebrates Halloween in a big way, with lots of teeny weeny motifs, all lined up in the cutest way! Offered as a leaflet, Halloween Line Up joins the seasons already published, and is just as charming. Finishing approx 5 x 5 on 28ct linen... (our Spring Line Up shop model is worked over one thread so it's half that size!) every row features such fun little things.  Check out the owls at the top, then all the spiders... then the precious and scary Trick-or-Treaters at the bottom! You have Superman down there, an angel, I think a pirate, and definitely a mummy... Great colors of DMC OR hand-dyed! | |||

This is a really creative set of designs... so we'll just have to be patient for Winter! Finishes approx 5 1/2 inches square on 32ct. | |||
All Hallows EveBold Autumn colors, this is worked with 14 different shades of DMC. Just a pretty piece, you'll definitely need to enlarge the chart -- as the symbols are too similar in value to tell apart easily. Other than that, it's fun! | |||
Autumn at Notforgotten FarmThis is a lovely 48-Page softcover book full of 8 different needlework projects and pretty pictures! Cross Stitch, Punch Needle Embroidery, Wool Applique, and Wool Rug Hooking, each project is presented with those awesome pics and actual-sized templates if necessary.

All the same full Cross Stitch with the herky-jerky backstitch, double charts for clarity, bandng y ou can switch out, backing wool and the tassel, pre-sorted flosses -- each finishes the 1-3/4 x 5.

They are presented as small charts -- and finish about 3 x 3 each on 14/28ct. Charted for DMC, Madiera or Anchor flosses, they are whole Cross Stitches and feature Michael's signature 'hither-and-thither' whimsical backstitching. 14 Different designs in the set... they are all pictured on the back of each one of them... so if you have one border chart... you have 13 other ideas for different words to stitch inside! (and when we run out of the ones you ordered... we might ask you to sub... and you'll still be happy!) Just super cheerful and fun! | |||

 European Villages Artist Michael Powell has been charting his delightfully whimsical houses and village scenes for a few years now.. but is finally offering his creativity in chart form, rather than full kits... and we are THRILLED! So many charming design elements in each piece... I love the snowcapped roofs of the Winter Village set, the cobblestones in the Summer Set, and the heart-shaped street lamps of the Venice Set! Offered as charts, each finishes the same size, approx 7 x 8 on a 28ct. Stitched in whole crosses, what gives these so much flavor are the bright colors, and the displaced backstitch. You get lots of crooked little lines and shapes, lots of fun interest, lots of 'relaxing' buildings... I just love all of these!!! They fit my idea of the perfect little bustling European Village -- right out of a picture book! | |||
 | |||
Forest Friends Finger PuppetsSomething else too darn cute from Bareroots! This is a set of five 2-inch felt finger puppets -- a bear, bunny, squirrel, owl and tree. Each finishes a mere 2-inches high, and is made from the included felts. A nice smattering of browns, golds and greens... your little animals will look just like they do in the pic! Simple cutting and blanket stitching. Each little guy is open along the bottom so a finger fits inside! Offered as the pattern with the felts and threads. | |||
 Bareroots Candle Mats This is a collection of 10-inch felt candle or cup mats. By Bareroots, each is presented in an actual-sized line drawing pattern. All the felts used are included, so YOUR mat will look just like these! No Cross Stitch involved, just a a little cutting and straight stitch tacking, and you're done! | |||
 | |||
 Wraps and Mini-Mats! Oh Wow... make a mini 5-inch mat for a candle, vase or your coffee mug... and if any still seems underdressed... make a matching wrap-around for them! Same fun artwork as in our Candle Mats... each of these packages contains a mini-bottom mat pattern, and TWO coordinating wrap patterns. | |||
| |||
Reels Christmas Tree, Reels and Buttons & Knitting Christmas Tree from Filigram Filigram has a trio of fun needlework designs... one just a 'sewing sampler' and the other two -- fantasy Christmas Trees! Stitched on Vintage Country Mocha fabric (we have that color in several different counts -- aida and linen) with DMC shades of 3865, 355, 535, 840 and 931 or 924. Cream, cranberry, denim and soft brown... each pattern has a needlework theme and is filled with tiny motifs. The Stitching/Sewing Christmas Tree has a tiny tomato pin cushion on it, buttons all over the place, tiny spools and of course thread that trails over allthe tree branches. Reels & Buttons would make such a fun sign for your sewing room or corner... replace the alphabet with info about YOU! The Knitting Tree is decorated with hanks of yarn, and the tree's base is a knitting box! Socks, mittens and hats decorate as well. Each of the three pics finishes 115 stitches square -- on 32ct, that's only 7 x 7 in size. Presented as charts -- super cute! | |||
Sweet Sheep from FiligramThis is a pattern we've been enjoying in the shop for some time. I've just never highlighted it for you, and need to, because it's so cute! It is definitely a tribute to one who raises sheep, shears them, spins wool, knits with it, wears the mittens and scarves, or even counts sheep in their sleep! Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 on 32ct and is stitched with Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC. | |||
 Spring & Summer Vegetables I love these matching seasonal garden scenes! The picket fence that surrounds everything, all the neat and tended rows, the yummy fruits and vegetables, the shovels, spades, rakes and watering cans, and those darling scarecrows -- they rule the gardens! Very well done with lots of cute motifs that are very recognizable, the charts are printed in color. Coded for Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC flosses, these finish approx 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 on 32ct. | |||
 from Mani di Donna...
| |||

Harvest Home - coded for DMC - finishes 6 x 3 on 32ct and Thankful Pillow - a little larger and coded for Weeks hand-dyeds - finishes about 6 x 5. Offered as charts. | |||

| |||
 For Every Season Each of our 4 seasons stitched on Week's 30ct Cocoa linen, with regular DMC floss! All 4 are in one chart! | |||
Halloween in the Air & Sounds of Freedom Pin Cushion PillowsWell, we're mixing the seasons and holidays by showing these together, but that's OK. Both charts offer designs that are long and not very high, but they are finished differently from each other. Think outside your 'pillow' and add the trim and fabric to the Halloween ones if you want - just like shown on the Stars and Stripes designs. These are cute, simple designs that can handle lots of cool metallic, hand-dyed or furry threads - even some beads - to dress them up and make them your own. The large *Halloween* word measures only 110 x 23 - and most of that height is the ghost, while *Boo* is 25 x 72 - so they are bitty little pin-cushion things! The three patriotics are worked with Weeks hand-dyed flosses and all measure 30-ish by 100-ish. (On 25 over one, that's about 1 x 4 each!!!) | |||
 Ventotene I love this little European-feeling little scene! I think it's supposed to be Venice... but Venice doesn't have lighthouses! But there's a cathedral... but there are hot-air-balloons... and that big ol' crashing wave! So YOU decide where you want this to be! I think it's just charming! 32ct Morris Blue Weeks linen, and only 9 shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses, it measures 90 x 53 in stitch count. | |||
Land of Freedom Sewing Box SetThis is a charted design that includes a main -- approx 6 x 8 -- design (shown on a box top), pin cushion, needlebook, scissor fob, and a charming little thread keeper. The theme is Americana, which is funny, because this is an Italian designer! (Just think Columbus, I guess!) Everything is stitched with Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC on 28ct Light Mocha Linen. Along with the chart and its finishing instructions and pictures, you get three small bone rings, a trio of red, white and blue star pins, and a 7 x 14-inch cut of dark teal and cocoa homespun fabric to finish all the smalls. A very cute set! | |||
 Like a Butterfly Music Sewing Set from Mani di Donna This is a charming stitched music box BOX by Simona! Your scissor case and fob match the tiny round box - which has a music box mechanism inside! Want to see it work? Lift off the tufted (Weeks Dye Works Houndstooth Wool) top, to find a stitched inside base - about an inch down. The rest of the box is holding a hidden music box... but the little crank is poking through a hole you left on the backside of the round! So unique! We're getting all the pieces and parts she is offering - pins, music box movement, fob beads and case handle... $60.00. 30ct Weeks Linen, flosses, wool and ball trims are all offered separately. | |||
 Kitty Doodles by Amy Lee Weeks for Mill Hill What a delightful collection of simple black-line doodles from Amy Lee Weeks! The people at Mill Hill have converted them to Cross Stitch on 18ct white Aida, and embellished with a few glass beads here and there. Design sizes finishing approx 5 x 7, each is stitched with 99% DMC black floss and accented with simple striking colors in the design borders. SO DARN CUTE... they are presented as complete kits of the chart, fabric, beads and flosses. Frames are offered separately. These ARE done on aida -- don't get hung up on that -- if you have a swatch of something else white in your stash, use it. The designs are darling, and will WAY overshadow the fabric you stitch them on! I LOVE the one that says *Don't stress me out!* From Left: Choose Happiness, You Had Me at Meow, Makes Your Heart Smile, Don't Stress Meowt, Do Less Be More. | |||
The 2021 Just Cross Stitch Magazine Annual Halloween Issue is Here!... and Christmas is Coming!
| |||
 The Fuzzy Spider, Halloween Octagon and Sparkling Blue Pin Cushion The Sweetheart Tree has a trio of new releases that we think are worth mentioning!
| |||
 New Arrivals from Sandie
| |||
 Tiny Blackwork Samplers - Welcome and Alphabet The Sweetheart Tree has a pair of black and white pieces that are almost the same - basically reversed in direction. With stitch counts of 123 x 74... they finish 7-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 32ct. Choose any single hand-dyed color to stitch these... doesn't matter... but you get about a dozen black glass paillette embellishments, so keep those in mind when choosing colors. The Alphabet sampler features lettering in the border, the Welcome one says Welcome Friends! Presented as charts with paillette embellishments. | |||
 Sparkler in Patriotic Red & Our Flag Does Not Fly.. . A pair of Americana-inspired designs, Sparkler finishes approx 4 inches square and features 13 deep garnet-red glass paillette embellishments. Toss in Algerian Eyelets and Magnifica bead touches... it's a fairly quick stitch. Presented as chart with paillettes. Our Flag is a tribute to fallen soldiers. The chart measures 94 x 61 and comes with a few pearl embellishments and three red flower beads. | |||
Itty Bitty Here Fishy Fishy and Blackie & Punkin'The Sweetheart Tree has a few new designs... her little black Itty Bitty Kitty is always the favorite, so here is Miss *IBK* out in the pumpkin patch and taking a break to fish a little! Itty Bitty Here Fishy Fishy comes as a small card chart with Sandy's cute little silver-tone fish bead. Measuring only 35 x 35... you won't need much DMC for either of these. Blackie & Punkin' measures 48 x 48 in stitch count and comes as a half-sized chart, Yellow star flowers and orange glass paillette embellishments are provided. There is an alternate border chart included with this chart - a checkerboard that adds 4 stitches in each direction. They join several other kitty designs by Sweetheart Tree. | |||
Summer Flowers Biscornu Pin CushionAnother of Sandie's charming smalls set, this one is stitched on a pale yellow or cream linen and has yellow and pastel pink roses on it. Embellishments for both are tiny pearls that come with their respective charts, and the biscornu also comes with two pale blue flower beads for the cushion centers. Stitched on both sides... if you're short on stitching time... just do one side... they are pretty either way. Cushion finishes approx 3 x 3, fobs are a petite 1-1/2 in size. We have several shop models of Sandie's smalls like these -- they are VERY pretty! | |||
Be As Happy As A Bird With a French FryA small design -- this measures only 29 x 50 in size. It comes with 5 crystal paillette embellishments. Truthfully, quite expensive, (I personally think). Sandie is phasing out of kitting her designs and going more towards charts with embellishments only. Prices seem not to reflect the absence of linen and threads... hopefully you have a few bits in your stash that you won't mind using for this! | |||
 Plum Fancy Pin Cushion Just a sweet little design, very *Sweetheart Tree-y* in personality! 55 x 55 in size, it finishes approx 3 x 3 on 36ct. (Choose varied counts of Platinum linen.) Using DMC floss from your stash, the design features 4 Rhodes Heart stitches and a small interior border of Diagonal-Oblique Herringbone. 4 Crystal paillettes and a purple cats-eyeluminescent heart bead embellishment are included. | |||
Quaker Flowers SamplerThis pretty monochromatic piece measures 144 x 119. Choose any fabric you like... Sandie's featured thread to match the 7 included micro-button embellishments is Weeks Dye Works #1284 -- Cadet. Again, rather than a kit format, this is being introduced as a chart with the 7 small buttons. Honestly, price is too high for this just to add to your stash. So... STITCH IT, and it'll feel better on your stitching budget! | |||
| |||
Sunshine Yellow PincushionHere's a pretty little thing... I am partial to yellow, and this is stitched in three shades with 2 more greens and white to accent it. Only 31 x 31 stitches -- this is TINY! The chart comes with a smattering of petite seed beads and a small sterling heart charm that features a tiny yellow citrine crystal in the center. Since this finishes only about 2-inches... it'd make a pretty scissor fob, as well as the cushion as pictured. Presented as the small chart with embellishments. | |||
|
White Rose Needlebook and Fob A sweet mono-chromatic piece -- this is white on a grayed blue -- you can choose any color combination you want to! Make both designs into little cushions or whatever -- each measures 20 x 30 or 40 stitches in size. The small card chart comes with 8 tiny white pearls to embellish which ever piece you work. Very simple and elegant little bitty designs! | |||
 Skinny Bee Sampler from The Bee Cottage Little buzzing bees flying throughout this 3 x 10 sampler. The complete kit includes the cut of 28ct Lambswool linen, DMC's of 924 denim, 3045 golds, 644 beige and 815 reds, along with a smattering of petite seed beads and a fun little gold (very fat) bee charm. Part of The Bee Cottage -- 'a corporate division' of The Sweetheart Tree! | |||
 Blackwork Needleroll Kit This companions the biscornu and fobs Sandy has already published. it features black crystal paillette embellishments -- very miniature glass sequins -- along with petite glass seed beads. If you aren't a *roll person*... finish this into a square cushion or another biscornu... or needlecase front -- lots of options. Same lacy black backstitches as it's other two companions. Offered as a complete kit. 
| |||
Beach RulesThe Sweetheart Tree has seven new releases -- this one is my favorite -- so I chose it to show off on *Just Arrived!!!* Wear sunscreen, go barefoot, count the waves (instead of stitches?), Take a nap (but then you CAN'T stitch!) and make memories -- ALL WHILE you stitch at the beach!!!!! Poor Sandie and me... she's in Arizona, and I'm in Oklahoma -- both of us are just about as far away from the beach as one can get -- so this is such a teaser!!!!!! About 3 x 5-1/2 in size... the small card chart comes with the pearl for the clam and three buttons to adorn the fob, if you finish it that way! | |||
Quaker Alphabet Squares I & IIThis is a pair of designs that delivers the alphabet in two parts surrounding miniature blocks of Quaker-inspired motifs. Stitched on 28ct linen (the cover models are on a light green color), they are stitched with only Weeks Cadet hand-dyed floss. Garnished with three baby teal buttons, there are a few Mill Hill beads in a teal color in them as well. They measure only 60 x 60 stitches, and if you leave off that alphabet border the inside blocks are only 46 x 46. Presented as small cards with the buttons. | |||
Bumblebee FobOh a new fob design! Sandy used to do a lot of these -- we still have shop models that are so cute -- I am thrilled that she has a new one! (Look over the older ones... the star one is so cool!) An octagonal shape -- stitched on both sides -- all of these fobs are charming!!! Eyelets in the center of one side, bee and bead embellishments on both, the whole thing finishes less than 2 inches. VERY cute! Presented as a small card chart with embellishments. | |||
 Teenie Tiny Halloween I, II, and III Oh these are cute! And... I'm glad we get all three in the set at one time!!!!! Pumpkins, spiders, and cats... each of these is the same size -- 3 x 3-ish. (You can choose any fabric you like to work these on -- I think these are a 28ct white linen or lugana.) Stitched with the same colors, they are garnished with rust glass seed beads and frosted yellow 'pumpkin blossom' button-beads. Just small and cute... stitch the trio, make 'em into tiny cube stand-ups, stack them and perch on a windowsill! Offered as small cards with the embellishments. | |||
Pinecones in Winter & Lets Get FancyTwo more fun little two-sided designs - each side is just 38 x 38 stitches each! Lots of special stitches, each side is different. Small card charts come with the paillette or pearl embellishments - you'll need Mill Hill petite seed beads for your edgings. | |||
Keep Calm and Freak Out!Oh what FUN! A take on the English War saying "Keep Calm and Carry On"... this is a bit more updated ! 28ct blue on one side and 28ct white on the other -- reversed thread colors -- I love this!!! It needs absolutely no more description! Offered as the Tweenie card design with embellishments. | |||
Bumbler BeesComplete kit of 28 or 32ct linen this is a darling little hive of business!! The bees are worked over one thread -- lots of detail in them. The blue flowers feature soft Satin Stitch petals, and there are tiny beads and pearl embellishments scattered about. Colors in this are so pretty -- honey and teal, and the embellishment is a DARLING three-dimensional golden bee. Finishes approx 3 x 3. | |||
 Tiny Pink Carnation, Evening Primrose & Spring Fantasy Sweet designs offered in small card format with the glass flower and bead embellishments included... each features a few special stitches in the 4 x 4 petite design area. | |||
You Hold The Key To My HeartA sweet sentiment in a petite 3 x 3 stitched area... the key embellishment is especially fillagreed and delicate. Accented with a few crystal Paillette glass sequins, you can finish this one suing the curved finishing boards as in the pic, or make a small wedding announcement pillow -- just whatever! Offered as a small card with key and sequins. | |||
Teeny Hardanger IV & VThis is a pair of small card designs specifically aimed at teaching you a small bit of Hardanger Embroidery -- in a *finishable format!* The Basics in the center, with bits of beads and tiny flowers gracing the edges, they only work up to be 3 x 3. Offered in card format with embellishments -- you can work these on 28ct Platinum Cashel Linen or try some 28 Lugana. Both are great options -- but the Lugana is generally the easier one to see. | |||
Irish QuadrielleA companion design to M'Lady's, this is another curious 4-sided hanging ornament decorated with your stitching on all sides. Petite 3 x 3 samplers on each side, stitched in crisp greens and whites, lots of specialty stitches and glisteny beads everywhere, this is offered as a complete kit of all the threads, embellishments, charts and assembly instructions you need. The bow at the bottom is not included... that just gives you an excuse to find some elegant ribbons as your garnish! | |||
The Biscornu SetWhat a fun collection of pin cushion designs!!! Finished into little *strange pointy thingies* that look terribly hard to assemble, the biscornu shape has been around for quite some time... but now gaining in popularity. Sandie has 6 designs in her set of biscornu designs so far... and each matches a tiny scissor fob that she has already released! Offered as complete kits, each 3 x 3-ish cushion kit contains the charts -- they are stitched on both sides -- flosses, necessary embellishments, needles and assembly instructions. We've begun an auto-ship on these, as we know there will be more in the set. So... pick and choose your favorites from the collection thus far, and join the auto for the rest! | |||
Berries & Shortcake Scissor FobThis is a sweet set of smalls... companions to lots of others Sandy has designed... a very lacy fob... each is stitched differently on both sides! The biscornu is offered in complete kit format, the fob is simply the small card with pearl embellishments. ALL of these designs in this series are charming. Each is stuffed full of special stitches in their tiny area, so they're really kind of fun to stitch. Lots to do in a small area that is FINISHABLE and FUNCTIONAL! Love 'em! All the rest are scattered throughout our Sweetheart Tree pages... it's fun to see them all. | |||
Spider Web Rose Alphabet Just a small chart card, offered with the Cabochon glass heart embellishment, along with lots of little crystal sequin paillettes. It is a profusion of rose branches... all highlighting the Spider Web stitches that make up those charming roses! Finishes approx 3 x 4, a pretty wisp of a thing... | |||
 
Chili Pepper FobThe final three tiny scissor fob patterns... scroll down this page to see the rest of the set... each of these is presented in a small card format, with necessary embellishments. Chili Pepper features a fun little enameled chili pepper charm -- what that has to do with scissors, I don't know... but it's cute anyhow! | |||
Miniature Scissor FobsThe next Sweetheart Tree Scissor fob designs are here!!! This little patriotic star is my ABSOLUTE favorite so far of the entire set... the whole thing is less than two inches from tip to tip!!! Each fob is different on both it's sides, is offered in a small card format with most of the necessary embellishments... you just add some Mill Hill beads on the edging. Cute designs, a special stitch or two... Sandy was going to release two of these at a time, for a total of 8 fobs... but she's changed her mind! (Way Cool!) These are just the neatest things when they're done... we have several shop models in the front case... and I can tell you that one of the next ones is an octagonal seashell/nautical design! | |||
 A Quaker Floral One of 3 more designs we have added to the Midnight Stitching page... it's a garden of motifs surround the nosegay and alphabet center. The stitch count for this is 123 x 128. Again -- choose a fabric you like, and ONE pretty hand-dyed color of thread, and this'll turn into a beautiful finished piece! Offered as the chart. | |||
 A Spot of Halloween and A SPOOKY Spot of Halloween This pair of charts each features words buried in the alphabet letters... it's kind of fun to find them all. Stitch counts of 97 x 97 and 102 x 102... choose the same fabric or coordinating. Both of these are stitched with Week's Dye Works Onyx floss -- and the little ghost in white DMC. Offered as separate charts. | |||
Dragonfly Sampler & A Spot of LoveA pair of sweet pieces with stitch counts of 100 x 100. You could do these on almost any fabric you want, and since they are worked in only one color... you can choose something really pretty to match your room. A Spot of Love can actually be a wedding announcement -- I think It'd make an AWESOME wedding gift. Buried in the alphabet are the words 'Cherish , Forever, Love, Romance and Together' -- and I bet you could find room to personalize on it. Both are offered as charts. | |||
A Spot of ChristmasAnother cute 101 x 101 design... the letters of the alphabet string across the piece -- but they stop to spell a word or two. No embellishments are called for in this, but to me there are a million places to add buttons or tiny charms to those words of 'cookies, ho ho ho, jingle bells, merry Christmas and toys! Stitched with Oatmeal, Cranberry, Banker's Grey, Juniper and Whiskey overdyeds. | |||
Heartstruck FriendsA set of hearts finishing approx 3 x 4 on 28ct, we've seen these finished as heart-shaped ornaments and they are cute! (too much empty fabric around these in the pic... just imagine these as little pin cushions or pillows.) Coded for either DMC or hand-dyeds, not Christmassy, just Wintery! | |||
 Monthly Snapshots Pine Mountain has a new series of smaller designs -- Snapshots -- little pics all nestled together to celebrate a season or month. February's is here (Sandy didn't start with January because we were already so far into the year... so this set will finish this coming January of 2016.) Offered as a chart it finishes approx 4 x 6, and is a quick stitch. Break 'em apart if you want -- they'd make cute individual block stand-ups or little mooshy pin cushions tucked in a basket. | |||
 Flosstube Friends from October House Well, I want to be the young, skinny one in the green dress way down there on the end! Just a fun little piece... it's pretty big at 7 x 17 on 40ct! | |||
 In Thy Meadow Stephanie has been inspired by the deer and fawns in her yard... so this box topper round is the result! Finishing approx 8 inches round, it is coded for DMC or Gentle Art Sampler Thread. Designed to fit Stephanie's boxes. | |||
Fall Flowers & Black Iron Clamping Pin Box

Bird BouquetThis is a fun design -- all red, aged green and black -- in that yummy 'ceramic' bowl! On 28ct linen, this finishes approx 6 x 8-1/2, and calls for Dried Thyme, Tin Bucket, Onyx, Ruby Slipper, Aged Pewter and Hickory Sticks hand-dyed flosses. Presented in a leaflet, it is featured in one of Lone Elm Lane's newest box styles -- The Cabin Box -- which features a divided tray inside. | |||
 Gifts of the Spirit, Oh Glorious Day and Spring Angel Lone Elm has new leaflets with a bit brighter color than her first set of designs. Stitched on various counts of fabric, all four are shown mounted in the tops her 8-inch wooden Shaker boxes. Stitched on various counts of hand-dyed fabrics -- if you choose not to finish onto the box-tops -- you can choose any other counts you want! Because the design is circular, the verse just goes round and round the box top! All four new designs are offered in individual leaflets. | |||
 Snow Angel Can you see her in the clouds and on the ground? A wispy, wintery scene of a quiet house and that cool evergreen tree that looks like a coverlet! I always tried to make those snow angels and not leave behind the tracks! (never figured it out!) 128 Stitches round, this finishes approx 7- 1/8 inches round on 36ct linen. It fits into the top of an 8-inch hand-made Shaker Box by Lone Elm. Coded for DMC or Gentle Art flosses, it's such a pretty design. The angel all around reminds me of a snow globe. Offered as a leaflet. | |||
 Angel Wings Another design featuring the same verse as Holy Holy, and a companion angel to Snow Angel. *And He shall give his angels charge over thee to keep they in all of thy ways.* This finishes approx 7-1/8 inches round on 36ct linen. It is worked in only two overdyeds -- Gentle Art's Burlap and Lexington Green -- it'll be stunning of several of Stephanie's boxes. | |||
 Thanksgiving Sampler Just a pretty floral piece, personalize it with your family name on the pot near the bottom. On 32ct Copper Penny Linen, this finishes approx 10-1/2 x 12-3/8 inches. 11 Different shades of DMC and overdyeds. It is shown in Lone Elm's *Linen* cabinet -- a definite investment! Cabinet info: Thanksgiving Sampler is framed in the door of the wooden cabinet, using turn buckles so that it can be switched with seasonal patterns. Cabinet size is 17 inches wide x 24-1/2 inches tall x 6-1/2 inches deep. It has two drawers on the bottom and two adjustable shelves inside. Door opening is 12 x 14, and it is painted and distressed. (Cabinet price is shocking!) | |||
 His Glory *The Earth is filled with His Glory. Give thanks unto the Lord for these cats & birds & flowers & bees.* Make this a Christmas-feeling piece by following the color recommendations, or change the Cayenne thread color to Cadet in the wording. Stitched with an assortment of hand-dyeds and DMC, this finishes approx 14-1/2 inches square. It'll need to be worked on 32ct to fit the cabinet opening... but would be lovely framed as well. (Again, that cabinet price is shocking!) | |||
 Alleiujah A very simple design with really simple color application -- this is lovely! Stitched on 32ct Copper Penny in Weeks and Gentle Art hand-dyeds, this finishes approx 7-3/8 inches round. The featured box is the 8-inch Wooly White. There is a lot of variation on the hand-dyed colors -- Stephanie is using more than one color of the blue, for instance, to achieve that look. Very Pretty, offered as a leaflet. | |||
ABC Come Stitch With MeThis is an entire set of matching stitching tool pieces... all stitched in Red Currant and Clay Pot Crescent Colours Cottons (you'll need 4 skeins of each color, but you can always choose another pair of colors, as well!) A ruler design, Floss Tag, a Stitching Pocket to hold some of the pieces, a Needle Book, and tiny Scissor Fob... all is stitched on both the front and back sides, using regular Cross Stitch. The instructions include a great 'Pattern Map' -- an overall diagram of piece placement on your 21-1/2 x 12 cut of 40ct linen. If you choose another count, you'll have to adjust your ruler and floss tag designs... they are the only things that won't fit into the Lucite finishing pieces. Lots of finishing details are included to make this pretty set of pieces. Offered as the chart. | |||
Needles & Pins "Needles and Pins, Needles and Pins, When a Girl Marries, Her Trouble Begins!" That is the charming verse on Milady's new Pin Keep and Needle Book set. Stitched on 35ct Hand-dyed Linen in Splendor Silks, the sampler verse is on the front of the Keep, and a miniature paper version that holds precious needles is tucked away into the pocket on the back. Complete finishing instructions are included for the piece -- you'll need to supply more silk for the twisted cord and tassels, along with the white glass-headed pins. Pretty rose-lavenders and moss greens... this is really cute! Offered as the complete kit of charts, linen, silks and paper needle case, it finishes approx 3 x 4-1/4. Also new, released along with this piece are more Sampler Key Chains, and a pretty ruler design. Make sure you see them, too! | |||
My Little Strawberries Ruler Pocket Get out your magnifier and get ready to stitch this elegant creation on 40ct linen! Designed as another companion to Milady's Strawberries Rule and Accoutrements Needle and Scissor case Sets, this is so nifty! You're stitching the linen case for it... that can match your other pieces. Worked in overdyeds, it's cross-stitched on both the front and back, as well as the flap. Complete assembly instructions are included in the pack. (Yes... I asked her... there will also be an Acorn Ruler case... but we have to be patient! There is even a stitched linen tray to hold scissors, orts, etc..in both motifs coming... but we have to be REALLY patient!) So, in the meantime, treat your stash to this, and make sure you see ML's other new releases! | |||
Acorn and Strawberries Rulers and Accoutrements This is a really neat set of designs that features a cross-stitched lucite ruler, a matching scissor case, needlebook and scissor fob. Available as individual chart packs with the rulers separate, I think these are charming!!! Since every stitcher's bag and every desk in America (and overseas!) needs a ruler... choose all four projects, or just that ever-functional ruler! Offered are a strawberry set and an acorn set of designs. Stitched on 40ct linen in pretty reds, rusts, brown and green overdyeds, the acorn caps are stitched with a variation of a Rhodes stitch so they are raised and textured a bit for added interest. The ruler is a lucite 12-inch piece with a removable back to make it easy to insert your needlework. (We also have a beautiful brass ruler available below.) You must stitch the designs on 40ct linen to be able to fit into the rulers, and it is suggested for the rest of the pieces, just so gauge will match. (It is an option to stitch the cases and fob on something larger, if you need to!) Very nicely done! (Can you tell that I'm taken with those rulers??? What a different gift to present to someone!) |

Tiny Designs Pam Reed has new small projects that might make *just the perfect small gift* for just a small occasion! Kindly Remember Me -- A small floral bouquet embellished with a single brass butterfly charm, you'll need bits of floss from your stash to make this 2 x 3-ish cushion. Offered as the chart with linen cut and charm. | |||
 The Spooks in Val's Pumpkin Patch! from Val's Stuff This is a set of 4 little 'people' that just might haunt your patch of pumpkins this coming Halloween... or maybe just your candy bowl! Each (they are limited in production, hence the LE down there in the product description!) is a celebrity that can simply stand on his/her own clothing... but are much cuter with a stick (I used an INK PEN under the witch!) tucked under that fabric, and stuck into a (fake craft or real) pumpkin! Val has ALL THE FIX'INS in her little kits - JABCO pins, felts and felt balls, gauze, hats, noses, eyes, brooms, pipe cleaners, ribbons, stuffings and sticks (for some of them) - everything but the cross stitch fabric, and the minute bits of floss. Grab your Glue Gun!

Hip Hip Hooray! from Charland DesignsThis is a simple design presented in a small card format... it comes WITH the darling sterling silver articulated Uncle Sam charm by Charland.
