Recent Releases We've been enjoying these in the shop since late last Fall. Monster House - Super colorful and just delightfully scary, every room in this haunted house features a different occupant. Someone down in the parlour is headless, there are ghosts dancing in the ballroom, a howling wolf is waiting in one of the bedrooms, the resident witch is brewing dinner, there are cats and bats and spiders, Dracula hanging upside down in the attic, and even a mummy up in the tower. So full of bright DMC color, the stitch count is 131 x 217, so it finishes a generous 8 x 13-1/2 on 32ct!

Truthfully, the colored chart is huge - across 4 fold-out pages - but it is intense, and not for a beginning stitcher. It uses 29 shades of Cosmo or DMC floss, and there is quite a bit of shading in here. I love it, but wow, an investment in good lighting and daytime stitching is a must!

The Wizard of Oz, Heat Wave 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. 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! 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.
Nutty or Nice and Sunburst Satsuma Street has two new designs - covering two totally different seasons! Nutty or Nice is her next Christmas Stocking - the fifth so far. Stitched on a classic, rich red this is charted for DMC floss and does also use silver and gold metallic. On 14ct, it'll finish into a 10 x 16 stocking (there is a row or two of stitching inside the seams so the design will go all the way to your edge.) Such bright, happy colors... I like the mini-ball trim she's used as well. The chart comes in full color, and is printed HUGE, so you'll love working from it. Sunburst is a vibrant yellow and rust piece stitched against a brilliant aqua background. Super striking! Coded for regular DMC, this measures 160 in stitch count - so 10 inches in diameter on 32ct. How can just NOT be drawn to the colors?
Oh What Fun! - Satsuma Street gives us quite a colorful and bright Christmas Stocking pattern... full of Peace, Love and Joy - literally! Finished size is 10 x 16 on 14ct, alphabet chart and finishing instructions are included. The Animal House - Something darling for a kid's room... there are animals popping out of the windows and door everywhere! This would be fun as a door hanger on 7ct... and you could name the animals in backstitch. Or you could stitch it on any regular-sized fabric, and add bright metallics and buttons or charms. You could even split the house parts and stitch just the front door with the peacock, just the tower with the giraffe or just the monkey one. The colors make this just delightful! Pretty Little Greece - The newest in Jodi's series of international cities and countries. A stylized medley of everything special to that place... we have about 18 other destinations that might tantalize you. See how many you have visited!
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!
Heat Wave 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. 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!
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!
