 Presenting the New from Summer House Stitch Workes
| |||||
 
 Presenting Fragments in Time for 2022 Beth Ann Seal's 5th Annual 2022 set of 8 small cushion designs is inspired by the antique samplers (late 1700 to 1840) of Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley. Lots of color this year, this set of 8 small charts all coordinate and make a very eye-catching set of bowl-fillers. Stitched on Weeks 32ct Straw Linen, (1/4 yard) the whole set will need Weeks hand-dyed flosses (but coded for DMC as well) of Cadet (2 skeins), Carolina Cecil (2), Cinnabar (2), Moss (3), Lichen (2), Chestnut (3) and Parchment (2). So far, two different rayon ribbon trims are featured on #1 and #2... don't know if we'll be able to keep up with that or not, but we'll try! If you want to see the other 4 years of Fragments - we have them all nicely organized here... they are all so much fun to see all stitched together! Auto-ship will be offered, starting with 1 and 2... May brings #3/4, July brings #5/6 and September 2022 finishes with #7/8. | |||||
Lady Katherine Kitty and Sir Perceval Puppy - Hello and Goodbye!This is a pair of stitched needle cases that features the front of the cat or dog on the front, and their backside on its backside. Then, open your stitched case to find little mice stitched on the inside 'endpapers' of Katherine's, and little dog bones inside of Perceval's. Too darn cute! Worked on 32ct Flax linen with good old DMC floss, they measure 6 x 4 when open - so a mere 3 x 4 when closed. What a fun place to use a cute animal charm or button if you have one. | |||||
 Delft Blues Here is a smaller design - 89 x 81 stitched with JUST DMC of 519, 931 and 3750. Choose any white, cream, parchment-y color fabric you like and make a little mat for your kitchen table! | |||||
Winter Whites and Chronicles of Oline Marie III love these two new designs by Beth Ann...
| |||||
 Chronicles of Oline Marie This is a small bit taken from an antique Norwegian sampler stitched in 1844. Measuring 104 stitches square, it'll finish into a larger-ish pin cushion, the coordinating fob is smaller at 50 x 50. Stitched with DMCs of 502, 841, 733, 640, 833, 676, and 543, it's a very soft palette, and looks elegant decorated with the vintage pearl buttons. Presented as a single sheet chart. | |||||
 The French Kitchen Enjoy this neat set of designs that celebrates the bounty of the French Kitchen with the fruits and flowers of the seasons. A collaboration between Hands On Design and Summer House Stitche Workes, Cathy designed Strawberries & Mint and Apples & Sage. Beth designed Pear & Rosemary and Blueberry & Thyme. (Don't know who designed the little bucket!) Each tall sampler measures 53 x 135 - finishing approx 3 x 8 - stitched on 32ct linen. When your 4 are finished... either display them or store one or all of the 'out-of-season' panels in the cute little stitched 'bucket!' It's also perfect for storing recipe cards or chocolate! You'll see charms dangling from the bucket - those are available for a limited time, as well as the wooden 'paddle' you see the samplers displayed on. Thread Set for entire series uses 26 skeins of Weeks hand-dyed flosses: Blackboard (4), Bluecoat Red, Capri, Carolina Cecil (2), Emerald, Glacial Melt, Grits, Kudzu, Lichen, (2), Loden, Mocha, Moss, Navy, Oilcloth (2), Red Pear, Roasted Figs, Scuppermong, Snowflake, Verdigris and Whitewash. Love it, love it! | |||||
 
Fragments in Time for 2021: Tales From The Sea Another delightful set of 8 matching pin cushions from Beth Ann for 2021 is now complete! This year, we are headed to the sea for VACATION!

The first design features a brilliant sun lighting up a stylized ocean... perfect for frolicking whales. Next is a Schooner - a 'pink' - a cargo ship. Stitched on 32ct Platinum Linen, (but lots of other great neutrals will work - check your stash) each measures 51 x 51 (3 x 3) and is trimmed with Lady Dot's Caribe Chenille trim. (One pack will trim all 8 cushions.) Beth Ann is offering a freebie border chart as a stitching and finishing alternative as well. You're going to need a boat-load of floss to do this little set - get it all at once so dye-lots match! (Weeks color is listed first then DMC alternative numbers.) Gunmetal or 3799 - 5 skeins, Blue Jeans or 931 - 2 skeins, Turquoise or 943 - 2 skeins, Curry or 3820 - 3 or 4 skeins respectively, Red Rocks or 400 - 3 skeins, Sanguine or 3064 - 2 skeins, and Blue Beadboard (Classic Colorworks) or 3811 - 2 or 4 skeins respectively.

The Ladies Garden Journal is Now Complete!Summer House Stitche Workes has a pretty series of garden flowers, each stitched on 32ct Beige linen and finishing 5-1/2 inches square. There are six florals in the set - each offered in a separate chart, and they are coded for DMC or Classic Colorworks hand-dyed flosses. Sweet William is the first, Hollyhock is number 2, and Solomon's Seal is the third so far... with the last three releasing every 6 weeks or so till September-ish. Beth Ann describes them as her whimsical garden! She did a finishing kit for this project - we will have these for a limited time. She's provided 8 unfinished wooden boards, 7 precut to size mat boards, 4 yards of twill tape ribbon, a coordinating Journal cover design, and finishing instructions to construct your stitched set of flowers into this cool zig-zag-folding journal! A fun finishing idea, kind of a surprise presentation if it's folded on your table and someone picks it up to look at it! Each of the six flower panels could be framed or cushioned as well... it's a cheerful set! | |||||

Liberty Hill FarmSummer House Stitche Workes has a CHARMING pair of patriotic designs that she has finished into little round stand-up cushions - Pin Drums. Worked on 32ct Weeks Dye Works Tin Roof Linen, these are stitched with a special pack of Sulky Threads. When you have stitched these two pieces... you'll STILL have enough thread left to stitch Hand's On's Memorial Day piece!! The girls planned their designs this way - and best of all the thread set is only $16.00! The larger drum is 159 x 64 - and the smaller is 159 x 51. Super-duper-darn-cute... we even ordered the limited edition flower-pin packs to make those three pins poking from the tops! (I think those are little flower-shaped bits of wool that Cathy Habermann has done!) Love those bright colors... go check out Memorial Day, as well! | |||||

 Fragments in Time 2018 This year's set of 8 small designs celebrates sampler cartouches -- sampler motifs and bits. Just pretty little designs, each measures 51 stitches square -- so less than 3 inches square on 36ct. You can gather the 8 small cards and make 8 individual cushions -- the ones in the pic have been backed and trimmed with Lady Dot's velvet and chenille. Your other option is to join them all together using Beth's freebie border chart (on her Facebook page... we will send a copy with the first shipment of patterns). It will make a 15 x 8 piece to frame. Pretty Gentle Art Sampler Threads of Ribon Red, Aged Pewter, Toffee, Currant, Mint Julep and Antique Rose... All 8 charts are new here. | |||||

Presented in small chart format, each drum is stitched on 32ct Linen (Home is on 10 x 12 cut of Nocturne by Picture This Plus.), and calls for only 4 DMC flosses. Your finishing kit includes the brown fabric shown on the back, that little piece of brown wool, the antique gold key charm, and bit of Week's wool to top your 4 x 6-ish inch cylinder. Just the cutest little thing... HIVE follows mid June, and NEST ships mid September. | |||||

 E. Pluribus Unum So classic in design... this is stitched over one on 28ct hand-dyed Straw/Gingham linen in only one color -- Weeks Kohl hand-dyed floss. Measuring approx 7-1/2 x 8 -- this will make quite a visual statement in your surroundings. You can choose the same gingham linen in 28ct and work this over two threads instead -- you've just create a larger piece at 13-1/2 x 16. Offered as a chart -- this is very clear and looks like it'll be fun to work on! | |||||
Miss Eliza Garside's SamplerBeth Ann and her daughter found this original stitched sampler in a Lancaster PA antique shop. Of course after HAVING to buy it... she put her talents to work and re-charted it for us. It is a charming floral urn with several design oddities in the piece! I love reading the history of stuff like this... she researched and found several Eliza Garside, but found this one's marriage certificate, her occupation... all sorts of cool stuff. Beth Ann made a little paper token ornament to match the sampler... added some charms to it... just did a really nice job on everything. Miss Eliza probably worked in the local wool factory in England... her sampler was stitched in wool. Beth Ann has chosen Gentle Art's hand-dyed Simply Wool for this - so luscious to work with, you'll love the effect! Set of wool includes 3 skeins each of Endive and Ruby Slipper in addition to 1 each of the 8 other colors... Brandy, Summer Shower, Portobello, Oatmeal, Forest Glade, Dungarees, and Antique Rose. Simply Wools follow the same colors as the Gentle Art flosses - so if you check your stash, you can see the colors in this. | |||||
 Forever in Stitches Just a small card design... this little thing is stitched with Gentle Art's Simply Wool - which is YUMMY to work with. On 32ct, this finishes 10 x 3... might be a neat thing to make into a cushion for that awesome collection you now have... lovely shades of Garden Gate, Dungarees, Endive and Gold Leaf. | |||||
Harriet's Valentine BouquetThis is a 9-1/2 x 3 pin cushion stitched on Weeks 30ct Straw Linen with Gentle Art Sampler Threads of Mustard Seed, Green With Envy, Apple Cider, Cucumber, and Woodrose. Trimmed with Lady Dot's Sequoya Mini-Pom-Pom Ball fringe, it's very aged looking! Presented as a small chart. | |||||
 Postcards From The Heart Summer House Stitche Workes is presenting a pretty set of small designs and finishing them in super-cool ways on little burlap canvases. Each Postcard From The Heart features a pair of tiny designs that are all stitched on various colors of Weeks Dye Works 32ct hand-dyed linens -- in one color of floss, of your choice. Next, get our bitty burlap-covered canvases -- you see them in the model pics... and then hit your button box for buttons and laces, your scrapbooking bins for cool papers and little trinkets, and your travel memoirs for ticket stubs and maps. Glue your stitching onto the burlap board and embellish with your *found objects!* Each card is offered separately, and the burlap boards are as well! We have an auto-ship for these... 
 | |||||
 Fragments in Time Here are 4 small card designs that celebrate sampler motifs. They are supposed to be 'fragments' of stitching that kind of look half-finished! Display them in a hoop... or better yet, mount them into wooden pin cushion forms -- like the ones we have from Lone Elm Lane or Sudberry House. Or... you can just sew them into stuffed cushions. They all are 50 x 50 in size, stitched on the same fabric - we have 28ct Vintage Country Mocha Cashel Linen, and use the same Gentle Art Sampler Threads of Cinnamon, Grecian Gold, Endive, Chamomile and Wood Trail. It might be fun to finish right up to the edges on these a little, too! Kind of like lost little scraps of stitching! | |||||
Starflower SamplerThis is a delicate piece -- worked in only 4 colors of DMC 310, 831, 221 and 3852. It finishes approx 5-1/2 inches square on 32ct, and is full of specialty stitches of Smyrna and Star Crosses. There is a bonus biscornu chart in here as well! Offered as a small chart. | |||||
