*'Early Primitive patterns... Stitcheries wrought by my hand. Each piece is a reminder of earlier, simpler times.'* This is a collection of charts for sewing rolls, pockets and bags, pin cushions and pin drums, slipper pin cushions... a delightful assortment of needlework smalls. VERY primitive in design flavor, each chart includes complete finishing and assembly instructions and staining information using Stacy's Walnut Crystals.
Presenting Absolute Cuteness From Stacy Nash Abigail - Little Abigail is a charming cow all dressed in her patriotic finery. She's holding a firecracker and has a tiny drum accessory. She's stitched with Weeks hand-dyeds on 36ct Shrekie's Tan. Chart runs $12.00. Pip - Oh my gosh, this is a little 3-inch hedgehog! Her little 'house' is that needlebook that has her cottage pictured on the front, with her strawberry garden covering the front, spine and back. Stacy says you can tuck her inside the case! Weeks hand-dyeds, chart format just like all the rest of the Crackers... Pip is just the best! Chart runs $12.00 Olive - She's a white goose, with her baby gosling in tow! She's wearing her red kitchen apron and holding a small flower tuft... that can be pinned to anywhere else if you want to! Weeks hand-dyeds, 36ct like all the rest; chart runs $12.00. Sugar - Is too sweet to be a stink! We think he-she is wearing their finest Winter Sweater... it has a tiny leather patch on the elbow of the sleeve! Chart runs $12.00 Love the Giver PinKeep - Motifs taken from several of Stacy's antique samplers, the berry basket takes center stage, but there are swans, butterflies, llamas, bees and squirrels on here too! Stitched on 32ct Gingersnap linen wit Weeks flosses; chart runs $12.00. Spring Parade Sewing Basket - This pic leaves us with lots of questions! It looks like a little drum-shape pic with a bunny, sheep and bird carrying a wavy banner... don't know the size, but it is done with Weeks flosses. Stacy mentions covering a paper mache box... but no other details! Chart runs $12.00 Lotion Bars - Taylor is making a new batch of her 2-oz Lotion Bars this year! Heart-shaped, these are made from Beeswax, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E Oil and some fragrances. Solid, you hold them in your hand to warm them a little - to get some lotion. They feel wonderful - not greasy - so you can use it and then go back to stitching without residue coming off on the needles or threads. Choose from Fresh Strawberry, Lemon Peel, Fresh Peonies or Everything Bar (Unscented.) We sold out quickly last year, so are thrilled to have more this year! AND an unscented version, too!
6-Inch Rulers, Just for Fun, by Stacy Nash Just a pair of wooden six-inch rulers... one says, 'My soul is fed with needle and thread.' The other,'Maybe swearing will help.' Just something little for a stocking stuffer at Christmas or a token trinket for a stitcher friend sometime. The verse is on one side with the measurement gradations, Stacy Nash Designs is on the other.
Henny Penny & Sewing Roll Little Henny Penny Hen joins the Animal Cracker Collection of Stacy's. She finishes about 5 x 7 on 36ct linen and is worked with Weeks hand-dyed flosses. Her companion sewing roll measures 10 x 4-1/4, and is decorated with farmyard birds and a 'quilt' of sorts. Presented in chart format - like the rest of the Crackers.
Liberty for All Sampler This is is a sweet red white and blue piece that features an irregular border design. Measuring 126 x 163 and stitched with Weeks flosses of Lily Pad, Raspberry, Navy, Light Khaki and Flatfish, you could actually turn that bottom tree section around and make this into a sewing roll bag!
Darling Crackers and Crumbs From Stacy Nash! Lily, One of the Animal Crackers - Well, she is the CUTEST! Little Miss skinny legs, she's done with Week's flosses, and her chart includes her long alphabet sampler you see wrapped around a wooden spool.Chart $12.00 Goose, Joining the Crumbs series - Goose is a giraffe ready to go partying! Weeks flosses, chart is $12.00 Rufus, Another Cracker Crumb - he's a little bear on loan from the circus. Weeks hand-dyeds, chart is $12.00 Velvet Pink Pear Needle Book - Look at the little hedgehog stashed inside of this! Just like Stacy's Velvet Tangerine, Carrot and Parsnip cases... the littler 'person' inside is dear. Weeks hand-dyeds, chart is $12. To distress velveteen, get it wet, stain a little with coffee, and then drag a comb over it t really ruff up the nap. Harriet, another new Animal Cracker, she is pretty and very proper. Chart $12.00, Weeks hand-dyeds. Rose Hill Farm Sampler - Pretty border, neat little take-out cushions, Weeks flosses, chart runs 16.00 Stitcher's Journal - Something different by Stacy, 36 pages of pics, a year's worth of calendar pages to keep track of retreats, WIPS, future projects, wish lists... whatever your stitching life demands you keep track of! Chart for cover-featured sampler is included. $22.00 Paper Die Cut Needle Keeps -- These are paper cut outs of three of the Crackers... with a felt heart glued to the back. Truthfully, they aren't much... just pieces of paper with the felt! They were supposed to be $8 each, our remaining are $4 each!
Chilli - Stacy Nash's Penguin Animal Cracker and her little snowman ornament friend is here. Chilli stands 6 inches tall, while her sidekick measures a mere 3. Both are done on 36ct linen with Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed threads, and simply too cute to pass up! Both in the chart for $12.00 Little French Hen Needlebook - A small 3 x 5 oval, Hen is on one fabric covered side, while the backside features a pattern of your solid stitching. (You could just use pretty fabric on that backside to save on the extra stitching, although the hand-dyed floss really gives it a neat look.) She's on 36ct, and is worked with Weeks of Lily Pad, Graphite, Bark, Arrowhead, Schneckley and Classic's Caroling. Chart $12.00. Swans A Swimming Badge - A swan swimming in her forest pond, this is done on 36ct with Weeks hand-dyed flosses. Stacy finished this as a pin... but you COULD finish it as a two-sided oval pin disk or even an opening needlebook - with the forest trees on the back - just like the French Hen case. Simple and sweet. Chart $12.00
Blizzard, we think, is an Arctic Fox. His fabric is on the lighter end - you may want to darken it up a little so you see his legs and sweater a little better. His matching needlecase features his cup of steaming cocoa and gingerbread cupcake. Stitched with only 7 shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses. Millie is a party girl elephant! She measures 5 x 4-1/2 on 36ct... and she's done with 6 shades of Weeks hand-dyeds. Her party hat matches her blanket - which is done in Broom Tree floss. You can always change that color to coordinate with whatever fun things you want to tie to her back!
Bones is Here... Dr Raven is not yet. Two more super-cute little animals by Stacy, this entire collection of Crackers and Crumbs features vintage animals full of stitched personality! Everyone is presented in their own charts, all are on hand-dyed linen and are done with hand-dyed flosses. Bones is stitched as a black cat, but he has a detachable mask of a skeleton - so it matches his bones! Dr Raven is a bunny, but his design features a little raven beak mask that detaches as well. As I mentioned, Bones is here, Dr Raven will take a couple of weeks to arrive - probably early December.
Welcome little Nettle, Reynard and Clovis to Stacy's family of Animal Crackers and Crumbs! (Crackers are whole animals; Crumbs are just their little face designs.) Nettle Bunny comes with the chart for her HALLOWEEN MASK! See her dressed in her tweed dress... both with and without her costume! Reynard and Clovis were inspired by Stacy's trip to England - so they are kind of like her 'British Invasion' to the Crackers. Reynard is a fox, and Clovis is an English badger. Just the cutest, all of these finish approx the same size - 3 x 6-ish, and are stitched with soft and vintage hand-dyed colors. Each is his or her own chart.
Animal Crackers and Crumbs This is an ever-growing set of charming stitched stand-up animals and smaller animal face fobs -- all presented as separate charts. Each is stitched on hand-dyed linen -- various colors -- choose any count you want. On 32 the CRACKER stand-ups finish approx 3 x 7-ish... Harrison is 10-1/2 inches though because of his ears. Cute and very vintage, decorate each with old ribbons and buttons... The smaller ANIMAL CRACKER CRUMBS are the little faces and they're all around 3 inches in size. How fun to tuck a couple of them into your ever-growing basket of stitched pin cushions???? Then add a couple of the standing ones in there too! Stacy has plain fabrics on the backs with a pouch to hold scissors, and you can see that Theodore is wearing a little thimble pouch as well! Such a neat set we have now!!!!
Miss Hazel - One of Stacy's newest Animal Cracker designs... Miss Hazel stands 6 inches tall and is 4 inches wide. She's done on 36ct linen in shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses, and presented as a chart. Bobbin - Well this is the absolute CUTEST THING releasing at the show this year! Little Bobbin is more like Stacy's Cracker Crumbs - the smaller animal designs - but she includes her sweet berry basket cushion, and as a good little mouse, her food supply is never far away! Bobbin sits atop any fun antique spool you can find... that bit of loose thread is coming from the needle in her hands! She stands only 3-1/4 inches tall, and her berry pin keep is just 2-1/2 inches in size! Maggie Mae is the third Animal Cracker to be released. (Stacy has an exhisting collection of 11 Crackers, and 4 Crumbs... all pictured on our Nash Page.) She is delightful in her white chenille-looking dress and honey yellow cardigan sweater. She features a tiny radish pin keep too! She stands 7 high by 3-1/4 inches wide on 36ct. Finley is the little spotted guy - he measures 113 x 82 and will finish about 6-1/2 x 4-1/2 on 36ct. He's stitched with Weeks hand-dyeds and accented with a little Rainbow Gallery white Wisper thread - it's the fur on his Santa hat. Little Frankie is the brown one - looks like a hot dog! He's the same size, Weeks hand-dyeds again, just the cutest! Both charts have now arrived.
As the Crow Flies Pinkeep Enjoy one of Stacy Nash's class exclusive releases from 2023 - As the Crow Flies Pinkeep. Now available in just a chart format, it is stitched on 36ct linen, with Weeks flosses of Gunmetal, Cognac, Oscar, Oilcloth and Bark, and finishes about 5 x 8. It's a pretty little piece that will look good tucked in a big gorgeous overflowing bowl of stitched cushions!
Merry Autumn Pinkeep A sweet little cushion by Stacy, this measures 159 x 106 - so finishes a generous 9 x 6 on 18/36ct. Stitched with Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Chestnut, Terrapin, Gunmetal, Carolina Cecil, Kudzu and Pecan, everyone loves houses, pumpkins and vines - especially in Autumny Fall colors! Presented as a chart.
Le Poulet Pinkeep Le Poulet measures 121 x 104, so on 36ct, it finishes about 6 x 7. It's coded for Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Grits, Beige, Schneckley, Havana, Dolphin, Charcoal, Lancaster Red, Lily Pad and Cinnabar. Just the cutest little cushion! Presented as a chart.
Calling of the Sea Pinkeeps & Pin Disk - This one is fun too! The chart contains all three designs - the round compass case, and both the whale and ship cushions. THINK you'll need multiple skeins of floss for that humongous whale! What a fun and festive set of designs! Caroline's Sampler Sewing Bag - Measuring a generous 10-1/2 x 7 when it's closed... this is a charming pocket to hold threads, a hoop, maybe some scissors. It's worked on Weeks Dye Works Beige linen.
Trumpet of Swans Biscornu A 6 x 6 pin cushion... usually these are stitched on both sides, but this one isn't. It'll take 1/2 the stitching time! 36Ct, using Weeks hand-dyeds.
Big Chicken Little Chicken Pinkeep - What a cool two-sided pin mattress! (well actually 6-sided!) Stitching with Weeks hand-dyed flosses on 40ct Old Stationery Linen by Seraphim (or your choice of something perfect from your stash) this cushion features the mama hen in her basket on the front and sampler motifs on the reverse side. A wandering floral vine travels around the 4-edges, and really adds charm! This cushion measures only 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches high... cute as can be. Velvet Carrot Needle Book - Love this design! A charming bunny is stitched on 40ct inside, and finished into a carrot! Stitched with Weeks hand-dyed flosses.

It measures a generous 9-1/2 inches, and I think that size makes a really cool presentation - especially if it's stuffed with heavy lizard litter! Pretty in Pink - A sweet pinkeep that features a spool of thread and a tiny skein of floss... I think this is the house of a stitcher - who must have a green thumb because her garden is lovely! Weeks Parchment, Grasshopper, Cocoa, Charlotte's Pink, and Raspberry - just 5 colors in this 7-1/2 x 6-1/2 delight! Finished with rik-rak trim. Spring Basket Pinkeep - One of my favorites - A charming aqua basket with that spindly handle - full of lovely lilting tulips! The bunny, chicks and hen all add charm. Stitched on 36ct hand-dyed with Weeks flosses, this finishes approx 9 x 6-1/2 and is trimmed with rouched silk ribbon.
Big Blue House Pinkeep Drum and Strawberry Very Americana and Festive! Look at that glorious big house - and the festoons above. Then, notice the border stitch all around the sides! This is finished onto a (cheap!) candlestick from Hobby Lobby! 36Ct hand-dyed linen, Classic Colorworks flosses of Campfire, Eggshell, Muddy Purple, Baking tin, Avocado, Blue Corn (the house), Pea Pod and Cinnamon Toast - it measures an impressive 7 inches in diameter and a mere 2 inches high, and that extra little velvet berry is divine!
Wonderful Life Pinkeep Drum - Wow... a Christmassy piece in plenty of time to get it finished for next year! Worked on Weeks 36ct Beige, this measures 6 high by 5 wide... gorgeous Weeks flosses... another fun Hobby Lobby candlestick base! What a presentation that makes! Velvet Parsnip Needle Book - Stitching is done on 40ct with Weeks flosses... bunny is 3 x 6... but then you construct the wool case and cut out the velvet carrot. She's inclued all the finishing instructions in the chart. We now carry the delicious hand-dyed velvet used in this finishing! Velvet Tangerine Needle Book - Another to stitch and then construct together with wools and velvets... I need to look these over at the show and see how they are done! But they look awesome in these pics! We now carry the delicious hand-dyed velvet used in this finishing! A Walk Through the Garden PinKeep Stack - I love this finishing treatment! You get sneak peeks of the botton two cushions because everythng is stacked. Models are on 40ct, with Weeks hand-dyed flosses... Lady Dot Vintage Pom Poms are the featured trim. The chart contains all three tiny cushion patterns... I can see scissors on them, rabbits and berries.
Deck the Coop Pinkeep Well, nothing wrong with hanging Christmas lights on the chicken coop in the backyard! Grab a cut of your favorite neutral linen and some Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed flosses of Schneckley, Cocoa, Sanguine, Tin Roof, Grits, Oscar, Red Rocks, Lily Pad and Charcoal...and stitch this cute pinkeep. It'll finish a generous 7 x 7-1/2 on 40ct!
To My Friend Pinkeep Stack - Dedicated to Barb Adams - A set of 4 small pin cushion designs all in a neat stack. Worked on 36ct hand-dyed with weeks flosses, Stacy added a spool of thread and scissors on one and blackbirds and strawberries on another. I believe the scissor charm is included with the chart. Merry Merry Pinkeep - Oh a charming larger cushion - it measures almost 8 inches square! Decorated with a festive greenery border along the top, the grand house, prancing deer and finally the peaceful snowy evergreen scene along the bottom, it's stitched with regular DMC floss! 36 Patriot's Brew - Natural or some of the 'sampler colors' of hand-dyed linens will all work for this.
Charming Hand-Poured Thread Waxers by Taylor! We're treating ourselves to these this year... Little life-sized Strawberries and Raspberries! Beautiful little 'things' to adorn or use... waxers are 100% pure Beeswax. You can gently run your threads over the wax to straighten and strengthen before you stitch... or just have these tiny berries as pretty decorations on shelves, fobs, pin cushion adornments, zipper pulls... you get the idea. Over time, beeswax waxers will develop a natural 'bloom' which looks like a film on the surface. It can easily be removed with a hair dryer on high heat - for JUST a few seconds! Some like that patina, some don't... so you have care options here! Stacy suggests using the natural colored waxers to help condition any colors of threads, but says that the red and black waxes are better suited for darker threads. While the wax will not 'bleed or melt' onto your threads and fabrics, it's better to store the red and black pieces away from light fabrics... just in case. We have tiny raspberries and strawberries... some are on metal lobster clasps to attach to your scissors or tote or whatever; some have silk ribbons to tie, but all have a glorious metal decorative topper piece. Taylor has been busy pouring!
First Snowfall Pinkeep and Butternut House Pinkeep A pair of charming pin cushion designs, these are actually on the large side, which makes them a fun surprise stuffed and tucked into your bowl of 'fillers.' They are finally back in stock again after waiting months for them to arrive! First Snowfall is on Weeks 36ct Confederate Gray, stitched with 7 shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses, and finishes about 6 x 5-1/2. Butternut House Pinkeep is also on 36ct, but it is worked with regular 'ol DMC and Charcoal hand-dyed. You kind of miss the greyed-green 'lawn' of pumpkins down at the bottom, but then, you notice the cauldrons!
Rose Cottage Sampler Pinkeep Rose Cottage Sampler Pinkeep is just awesome. Finishing only 8 x 8 on Weeks Dye Works 36ct Confederate Gray Linen, it is stitched over 2 with DMC! It's a charming little sampler - nothing fancy - just the alphabet, house and floral urns... maybe it's the blue-gray border along the bottom that finishes it.
Be Kind Sampler Be kind to one another, this is a world of care and there is enough of needful woe for every one to bear. An old verse with Stacy's new border design and big house. Finishes about 8 x 10 - probably 36ct Weeks Cocoa - and it uses Weeks hand-dyed cottons of Oscar, Baked Apple, Battleship, Cherub, Charcoal, Straw, Oilcloth, Confederate Gray and Sanguine.
Fresh Picked Pinkeep The Fresh Picked cushion finishes approx 7 x 10 on 36ct - pretty generous in size. It uses regular DMC of 730,. 371, 3721, 3859 and 3031.
Be Kind & True Thread Keep Be Kind & True Thread Keep -- On 30ct Ivory, this finishes approx 7 x 5, and is worked with only Apple Cider, Garden Gate, Barn Grey and Mulberry flosses! I like how she's cut off the house -- you don't see that very often, and I guess it really DOES cut down the stitching time! So pretty, the model in the pic has been coffee-distressed.
Mary Bovee Sampler This is GORGEOUS in person! The cover picture really doesn't show the yummy gray/taupe colors of this fabric, and you don't often see pieces like this stitched on a darker linen. Stitched on Picture This Plus 32ct Murky Linen, it uses Gentle Art Sampler Threads of Apple Cider, Caramel Corn, Carriage Black, Antique Rose, Lambswool, Rose Garden and Old Hickory. Finishing approx 10-1/2 x 8, it has a pretty floral border, double berry baskets and the most awesome house, running rabbit and huge urn along the bottom. Offered as a chart.
Spotted Pigs Pinkeep How cute are these little pigs???! Mama and the babies, they are stitched on the same fabric as Mary Bovee (so if you get a fat quarter of it, it's a better price) -- Picture This Plus's 32ct Murky. Finishing a generous 10 x 7, it's kind of large for a pin keep, but do it anyway, and enjoy! Gentle Art Threads of Carriage Black, Apple Cider, Lambswool, Antique Rose and Rose Garden -- the same ones as Bovee!!
Miss Baxter's House Oh, everyone loves this cement and log cabin house -- it's quite large, and together with that border will give you LOTS of hours of stitching. Worked on Week's 32ct Beige, the little chickens in the yard are SUPER SPECTACULAR! They are shaped well and stitched in dusty blues and a deep red. If nothing else... make fobs or cushions out of those only!!! Stitch count of 221 x 186, this finishes approx 12 x 14. Love it!
