Here is a smattering of delightfully colorful designs by Satsuma Street! Presented in leaflet format each is charted in color and coded for DMC floss. Beautiful photography on the covers, and large, clear symbols and coloring inside, they are regular Cross Stitch with little or no Backstitch or specialty stitches. The Pretty Little Cities also include inserts that list the buildings and landmarks featured in their designs. Super fresh and young... designer Jody Rice says her designs are Cross Stitch for a Happy World!
Cactus Cat, Christmas Cat, Bertie, Ellie and Myrtle Nobody does brilliant happy colors like Jody Rice from Satsuma Street! I ordered some things and truly forgot how charming they are until I unwrapped them today! Everything is beautifully presented with LARGE chart graphics, all is coded for regular DMC, in color, and on very stiff card-stock paper. Cactus Cat - How can you not love everything in this? The geometrics of the sun, pots, cactus, and that cat! He's just sitting there like he owns the garden! 144 x 106 - it finishes about 7-1.2 x 10 on 28ct. (Or do it on perf paper and add beads!) Christmas Cat - Might those be broken bulbs down there on the carpet? This one is fun, you could add some metallics and stitch the cat with Simply Wool thread! He's 8 x 10 on 28ct. Flower Friends: Ellie, Myrtle and Bertie - What a darling trio - each measures just 65 stitches - so about 4 inches on 32ct, or 6-1/2 inches done on 20ct linen with #5 Pearl. Coded for DMC, I don't know where the colored frames come from... so just be thinking cute colored fabrics for pillows... or finding some fun wood shapes and get busy painting!
Noel Sampler, Twelve Days and Ghastly Greetings A trio of seasonal designs... each of these offers small designs that can be stitched individually and finished into ornaments, blocks or pin cushions as well as joined in their medleys. Noel Sampler - This measures 158 x 158 - each square 40 x 40 - so just 2-1/2 inches on 32ct! It's a fresh, new Christmas look... maybe for a fresh new family in their fresh new house? Twelve Days of Christmas - These would be fun stitched and finished into 4-sided blocks - with stitching on all 4 sides. Festive bows on top of each... like tiny stitched gifts under the tree or nestled in the center of a wreath sitting on a table! Ghastly Greetings is on black, but I think you could get away with something lighter so you can see it to stitch. A million different bands and borders you could make little sausage-shapes, or stacking blocks. Finished stitch count is 53 wide by 280 long... so on 14ct - even black perf paper would be fun for this - it'll finish 4-ish by 20! Another really good possibility for metallics in this one!
Alice in Wonderland - Satsuma Street's version of Alice's adventures... we get the Cheshire Cat in here, the Mad Hatter at his Tea Party and Alice tumbling down the Rabbit Hole. It's charming and full of color - and companions the Wizard of OZ Piece that Jodi has done. (This was never my favorite children's story... and now we are mortified because there is a hookah-smoking caterpillar in there! But... never-the-less... a famous story with a cute stitched rendition. It's sparked a whole discussion here in our shop backroom about fairy tales and banned books!) Measures 184 x 184 in stitch count, choose a light blue fabric... this is coded for DMC and it would LOVE some metallics tossed in if you'd like! Tree Topper, Mitten Kitten, Holiday Horse and Turtle Doves, New Paper Ornaments for 2021-2022 - Jodi has 4 new Christmas designs to adorn your tree! Presented in kit format with 14ct perforated paper, DMC flosses a smidge of beads and sequins for sparkle... they are bright and colorful. Each measures about 3-1/2 x 4 in size, and are great to hang on a real tree because they weigh literally nothing, and won't make your branches sag. Fun to stitch, simply cut the paper around the edges to shape, and you're finished!
The Wizard of Oz, Heat Wave and Memento Mori from Satsuma Street Jodi Rice has a few new designs presented in leaflet format - her books are always bright, pretty and super-clear and easy to work from. The Wizard of Oz is CHARMING! First, it's a fun and different shape. Next, look into each of the 5 big sections... they tell the whole story. We get Glinda and the Munchkins at the top, Dorothy, Toto and the Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man all following the Yellow Brick Road. At the other side is the field of Poppies that puts Dorothy to sleep, then the Wicked Witch of the West and her flying monkeys. Finally the wizard flying back to the (Omaha wasn't it?) State Fair! Emeralds garnish the corners and the Yellow Brick Road and rainbows surround all. With a stitch count of 184 x 184, since it teases your eye by its shape, it really is 12 x 12 from emerald to emerald! Jodi has two 11 x 17 separate colored charts in here - two-sided. You get the entire scene charted in color, then huge individual colored charts of the back stitch details in each. Choose a mint green or Star Sapphire colored fabric... lots of count options for this, coded for DMC. Heat Wave - All these bright, hot colors - it just makes you happy! Stitch count of 188 x 90, this finishes approx 13-1/2 x 6-1/2 on 14... although this is worked on an oatmeal-colored fabric, I think white would be stunning! Memento Mori - After watching the movie 'Coco' I have a better understanding of Sugar Skulls, and their heartwarming, family spirit. So, these are happy and colorful. Worked on black - any count you can SEE, the stitch count is 71 x 257 - so they finish approx 5 x 18 on 14/28ct. Coded for lots of bright and pretty DMC flosses.
New Halloween Ornaments Jodi Rice has 4 new Creepy Delights coming our way. Her things are always worked on perforated paper (but you CAN use fabric instead!) with regular flosses and studded with a few beads and sparkly sequins. Super colorful, they are all very eye-catching. Put magnets on the back on them for the fridge or file cabinet... sticks for plant or candy dish pokes. Stitch and frame 'em, or make them into little stand-up cubes -- they are way too cute to leave in a drawer unstitched! Finishing about 4 x 4 each, the complete kits come with the chart, paper, flosses and sequins and needles. We have a pretty nice collection of her Halloween designs - these are #'s 14, 15, 16 and 17! Just love all the colors!
Look What's NEW From Satsuma Street! Oology! This delightful set of 4 eggs is the perfect project for the start of Spring... and better yet, they are all presented in ONE leaflet! Each 3 x 4 egg is stitched on 28ct linen - but Satsuma loves perforated paper as well, and these would be awesome as paper eggs too! Coded for DMC, get out some beads and metallics if you feel like it... these gorgeous pastel eggs will be so much fun to stitch!
Sky-High Santa and Santa's Flight Satsuma Street's Jodi Rice has sent two new Santa patterns both featuring hot air balloons - which is one of Santa's Sleigh alternatives! Sky High Santa is glorious in his delightful balloon! Worked on a deep blue fabric - choose your count - it is coded for regular DMC floss, and will finish approx 11 x 17 on 14/28ct. Gorgeous, bright colors.... throw on some beads or add some metallics if you feel like it! (Our Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braids come in about 100 colors so there are lots of possibilities!) The chart is huge, and printed in color, the leaflet includes complete stocking finishing instructions as well. Santa's Flight features Santa in a pastel-colored balloon high over the sleeping village. He finishes about 6 x 11 on 14/28 - a little smaller than the Sky High Santa - but he'd make a nice stocking companion anyway. This pattern has a few silver glass seed beads called for, and some silver and gold metallic... just absolutely charming! Use the finishing instructions supplied in Sky High, use the beaded idea from this one for that one, and you can have a matching pair of hot-air balloon stockings!

The Nutcracker Suite Ornament Collection These are positively enchanting - just like their story! Jody Rice's set of 8 paper ornaments are stitched on metallic 14ct perforated paper - the Snow Queen and Mouse King are on silver - the rest are on gold. Each measures approx 2-1/4 x 5 inches, and is stitched with DMC floss. Every one is garnished with glass beads and sequins - I see some snowflakes and flowers in them... so between the shiny paper and the glistening beads and those sequins, these really sparkle! Super colorful, these look stunning on your Christmas Tree because they are lightweight and can hang on the tips of the branches or where-ever your twinkle lights will catch them. The kits come with a huge, gorgeous color chart, the flosses, beads, sequins, needle and good instructions for sewing on the beads and finishing.
Next, The Halloween Collection These are just as cute and festive as the Nutcracker Collection... absolutely bursting with color and personality! They are done on 14ct Black Perforated Paper - which is actually pretty easy to see! For a change - you can work on black and SEE IT!

Each is stitched with DMCs of chartreuse/apple green, brilliant oranges, bright aqua, gorgeous purples, and deep fuscias. Totally yummy colors! The are garnished with glass beads and sequins in just the right places to make the designs 'pop!'
