Lighting the Way and Lost and Found Lighting The Way - Always be a lighthouse, shine your beacon bright. Guide every soul adrift at sea throughout their darkest night. Stitch this on something to assure that lighthouse will show up - it isn't quite so prominent in the model pic - and it's a pretty lighthouse! Finishes approx 9 x 10 on 28/14ct... coded for DMC. Lost and Found - I am a lost sheep gone astray, Shepherd find me this I pray. Oh Shepherd listen to my prayer and keep me in thy loving care. Coded for DMC, this one measures 147 x 131 - so on 32ct it's 8 x 9.
Give Greatly Your greatness is not in what you have but what you give. LOOK at this, the bunny is bringing his snowman friend his most precious gift - a fresh carrot nose! Or, maybe the snowman shared one of his un-used noses with the bunny? What a fun winter-y seasonal piece. Diane added a couple of snowflake buttons from her stash - but charted them as well - in case you are 'flakeless.' The Mill Hill white metal snowflake treasures are perfect for this - you get 2 each of two different 1/2-inch white enameled metal flakes for $3.50. Give Greatly measures approx 6 x 7 on 32ct, and is coded for DMC floss.
New Arrivals Moonshine - We love this! 'The moon said to me, do not wait to be whole to let your light shine from the depths of your soul.' The fabric might be a challenge to find (Fabric Flair brand), but that moon is gorgeous on here and the sentiment is neat. Finishes approx 9 x 9 on 32ct; it's coded for DMC or hand-dyeds. Winterful Friends - Just a cute little winter-y scene, not big at 2 x 5 on 32ct... choose a pretty hand-dyed light sky-blue fabric. Calls for DMC or hand-dyed, you could leave out the words on this and move over the tree - in the interest of stitching time! Even put the tree on he other side of the snowman and reverse the right-hand bird! Izzie Dekayen - This is a sign for your liquor cabinet during a Halloween party! Isn't it fun!? Choose a mangy fabric, add a little metallic to the 'red wine' and opalescent to the ghosts! Finishes approx 5 x 7 on 32ct.
Santa's Magic Key This pattern explains HOW Santa can come to all those houses that don't have a fireplace and chimney! A definite YES to stitch if your little ones have inquiring minds that need to know! Finishing approx 5-1/2 x 6 on 32ct, there is a companion ornament design included to stitch for the tree! It would be fun to stitch a pocket on the ornament back, and store a house key in there on the tree - them make sure it's ready to be used on Christmas Eve!
Spooky Boo, Dove Song & Star of Bethlehem Silver Creek Samplers has sent us her trunk show, and in it were three designs we have never featured before! WOW... we love new stuff - especially when it appears ALREADY STITCHED in the UPS boxes! All three were published in 2011 and 2012, and gosh they are cute!!! Spooky Boo - Finishes 4 x 7 on a mangy hand-dyed linen... lots of neat ones are available now. At first cock crow the spirits go back to their resting place below. The gravestone reads "I ben beter!" Pretty fall colors, it kind of companions Halloween Bright! Dove Song - I cood Him to sleep so he would not cry. What a wonderful Christmas memory! Stitched on something dark to remind you of the midnight sky, this finishes 4 x 5 on 32ct. Kind of generous for an ornament, you could finish this flat on a bit of wool and use it as a small hanging... coded for Gentle Art Sampler Threads. Star of Bethlehem - If you hitch your wagon to a star, be sure it's the Star of Bethlehem. Stitched on Weeks Dye Works Dolphin linen, this features a charming verse. It even has Baby Jesus in the little red wagon! (And we think it'd make an awesome birth announcement for a Christmastime baby!!!)
Halloween Bright Jack smiled so brightly he could be seen by everyone on Halloween. What a cool design! The verse, that neat moon... the cat on the pumpkin and the cool wrought iron fence... it brings up a picture of a spooky flaming jack-o-lantern in a graveyard on a night when the moon is HUGE! Just 5 x 7-ish on 32ct... coded for hand-dyeds and DMC... can you see that the whole bottom half's background is stitched??? It is done with Gentle Art's Chamomile... should give you an idea of what color you want your main fabric to be.
Melody's Song Silver Creek Samplers has a new design... On rocks beyond the sandy dune, a mermaid sings a winsome tune that drifts along the ocean breeze & puts my restless soul at ease. Quite the run-on-sentence... but that's OK! Finishes approx 8 x 8 on 32ct... coded for DMC or hand-dyeds... I need a beach house!!!!!

Olivia Ochreleiph (O Ker Leaf!) We figured that out today while we were ooogling over this new arrival in the shop! Silver Creek Samplers has delivered a lovely Fall piece!

Measuring approx 8 x 8-1/2 on 32ct... a whopping 17 shades of Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed cottons are called for in this! What a beautiful pillow this would make -- I like the fact that you see falling leaves before you see the verse or a dress!!!!!

Coded for hand-dyeds or DMC.
Liberty Hill Farm Just a POP of patriotic! If you're good, you can figure out your family name in kind of the same font, and put that in here instead of Liberty Hill Farm. Then, put YOUR family established date there instead of 1776! I love the cheerful border on this... finishes approx 4 x 9 on 30ct -- coded for hand-dyeds or DMC.
And The Earth Sang Easter Morning! An angel rolled the stone away from the tomb where Jesus lay. He is Risen was the cry as joyful praises filled the sky. I picture this in a Sunday School room... it finishes approx 7 x 7-1/2 on 30ct, coded for DMC or hand-dyeds.
Freedom Reigns A country barn, the waving flag... The bell proclaims on Liberty Hill Freedom reigns and always will. Finishes approx 4-1/2 x 9 on 30ct, coded for either DMC or hand-dyeds That little barn is so cute, you could live in there!! (It's just like all the gorgeous barns-turned-into-houses you see on TV!)

Happy Halloween and Scary Things October Brings Silver Creek Samplers has a pair of cute designs that you can add to your stitching stash for next Fall! Happy Halloween -- Weeks and Gentle Art over-dyeds in this, it finishes approx 5 x 6 on 32ct. It'd be fun to add buttons and bead embellishments to, metallic in the eyes, opalescent in the ghosts, Wisper thread for the kitty... you get the idea. Scary Things October Brings -- This one finishes approx 6 x 6-1/2 on 32ct, and would look good with lots of thread and embellishment creations. A neat rhyme, something like this makes a cute decoration finished into a fabric 'mat.' Just add some fabric strips and make a mini quilt hanging, only don't hang it -- just lay it on the coffee table. (Of course you have to be one of 'those people' who have empty spots in your house for that. Maybe the wall is a better idea!?) Both are offered as charts, and will go great on so many different fabric color and count choices.
Eye on the Sparrow Oh this little piece has captured my heart! A small chart offered by Silver Creek Samplers, this has been available for a while, but we finally received our finished shop model back... and I don't want to take it back to the shop! 'DO NOT WORRY' it warns... 'birds do not sow or reap, yet the Lord God feeds them. Lets not go political here... just take comfort in the faith part! Its a lovely little design, and our 3 x 4-1/2 stitched piece is on 28ct Lugana over one, stuffed with lizard litter and trimmed with Crescent Colour's new cotton chenille trim! A trifle of stitched comfort!
Sweet Liber-Tea Six shades of Gentle Art Sampler Threads bring this cute design to life. *Forever we'll be strong and free, Sweet cup of Liber-Tea.* Just something fun by Silver Creek Samplers, this measures 66 x 114 stitches. Cute finished as a sandwich-sign stand-up or a little fabric wallhanging quilt!
Dare to Fly *Life is quickly racing by... Adventures fill the open sky... Do not wait to take a try... Just be a bird and Dare to Fly* By Silver Creek Samplers, Diane based her verse on a A. A. Milne poem about 'opportunities that born and die... because you still wait and will not try...' A small piece, it is suitable for framing, but it'd make a neat little pillow as well. Think about graduations, new jobs and moves... and even weddings. Wouldn't this be pretty personalized with the new couple's names? Instead of an outdated band sampler... with the rings stuck on there, stitch them something ALIVE and motivating! Offered as a chart, this has a stitch count of 144 x 71 and is coded for Weeks and Gentle Art hand-dyeds.
