![]() ![]() ![]() Identical Twins from Hands On Design and Summer House Stitche Workes! These two gals have each published stacked pin cushions wrapped and buttoned with a strip of stitching. Your needlework is only 15 stitches wide but 175 stitches long! You make your own little pillows. Such a cute finishing idea, both Beth and Cathy have published designs with this treatment. We are showing both charts together - because they look so much alike - we thought you'd want to compare and probably get BOTH! | |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fragments in Time 2024 is Now Complete! Beth Ann has finished her 10th set of Annual Fragment designs - this year's celebrated her ancestral homesteads. Of Note: A special story shared by Beth; House #1 was her great great (too many greats to count) grandmother from the 1700's. Suzanne was mother of 21 children. It's engraved on her head stone and everything. Her husband was found shot dead in bed. No charges were ever filed! Houses through the generations. There is a freebie border on The Summer House Stitche Workes website to join all 8 small designs, each is coded for DMC and/or hand-dyeds. | |

A nice, fat and full sized book stuffed full of 8 projects all stitched on Natural Belfast and Weeks Tiger's Eye linens. You're going to get linen pumpkins, a cute pin cushion with criss-cross stitched bands, a pumpkin sewing case pattern... that's all that was in our teaser e-mail! Gorgeous graphics and pics, colorful projects, very pretty books to page through, even if your stitching projects are 'still in the planning stage!' | |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Between Friends: A Summer Sampling from Summer House Stitche Works and Hands On Design Beth Seal and Cathy Habermann's seasonal collaboration book is here! Working together in their 'needlework garden' they weeded, coaxed and watered daily to bring us 7 cute summery/gardeny designs. There is a picnic plaid pin cushion in here... great finishing instructions for tassel making, a cute tool holder for hoops, pens, trinkets - along with its finishing tutorial, and a pair of seed packet covers. 24 pages of pretty pictures and lovely charts - but nothing too big to not-get-done! | |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Between Friends: A Spring Sampling The first of the 4 seasons, this is a collaboration between Cathy and Beth Ann Seal of Summer House Stitche Workes and Hands On Design. We're getting 4 books with 2 projects each... one from C and one from B. (Only from the pics - I count more than that.) They're big on finishing and lovely graphics, so this'll be a fun set! No release schedule yet for the other three, but we'll have them! 24 Pages of the 8 projects, each is beautifully photographed, and Cathy has added lots of clear pics during her finishing processes. They have a 'Stitch Academy' section in here... I read that the odd numbers in the stitch diagrams are always needle up, even number is always down, and remember to pull 'up' stitches to get the pretty holes you are looking for! Just a tiny tidbit of what resides inside these beautiful pages! | |
![]() ![]() ![]() Faith, Hope & Love This is a trio of individual charts - each done in the same color palette of DMC 823, 831 and 926. Worked on 40ct, they measure just 4-1/2 x 6. Inspired by antique woven coverlets, just lovely! | |

![]() Superior Bees Beth writes: 'Look into your imagination, where things in the garden are not quite what they seem. Time blossoms forth, tended by honey producing 'bees.' They are the key to life in this fanciful pollination production line. The contrivance is the dream-child of our mythical Professor Hivemann and is sure to enliven your agronomic stitching adventures. Have a bit of stitching fun with this steampunk inspired design! Doesn't that put a neat spin on this? Stitched on a sage colored linen with only 3 colors Gloriana silks or DMC of 310, ecru and 167, the whole thing finishes only 4-1/2 x 5 on 40ct! | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. | |
