The Omens
from Cherry Hill Stitchery
Here's a crisp piece for the Fall season - looks like it's done with just 3 colors - but actually 7 good 'ol DMCs are in here!

Measuring just 7 x 5 on 14/28ct, it would be pretty stitched with hand-dyeds instead of the solids.

The chart is presented with a nice color cover pic of the finished piece, but then she's given you the chart in both black and white and a colored version, so you can stitch off of the one you like better. Just a pretty piece.

Presenting Owlvira's Frightful House

The Ghosts and Goblins at Scream House have new neighbors! Owlvira has moved in next door!

Frightful House stands deep in the gloomy shadows of Haunted Hollow. When the leaves begin to fall, the house wakes up, and all the inhabitants take their places to show us how scary they can be. Owlvira Owl is the house manager. She has a room in the attic where she plans all the entertainment for each frightful night. The Stitch Guide includes behind the scene stories for each side of the house.

Fences with garlands of purple lights surround the house, and the front door has a spider knocker. Ghosts, grimacing pumpkins, frogs, bats, spiders, skeletons, monsters and one menacing mummy appear on the 4 sides of the house, and you will find more creatures on the roof and in the creepy crawl space below. Owlvira's attic room features a spider web rug and black felt walls for needles and pins (and a little frog charm).

Using DMC (B5200, 209, 310, 581, 646, 648, 740, 741, 900, 937, 947, 972, 3032, 3787, 3837, 3819) and 4 shades of Weeks Floss ( London Fog, Bark, Autumn Leaves and Onyx), stitch the house as one piece on one large piece of linen. The 4 roof sectionsare stitched on another, and Owlvira on a third piece of fabric. Linen choices are Weeks 32 CT Tin Roof Linen. Finished size for the bungalow is approx. 51/2" X 21/4." We are offering fat quarter cuts for fabric, to ensure you have enough for proper piece placement.

Black hairpin wires are included for her "feet" and a bronze bead and purple flower sequin for her hat. Owl is not available separately. Materials included: Color cover, 12-page Stitch Guide, Linen Layout page, 24" of ribbon, black felt, 1 piece of cardboard, beads, owl eye sequins, 2 hairpin wires, spider charm, verdigris frog charm, bronze bead and purple flower.

Autumn and Thanksgiving Designs from Samplers and Primitives Are Back In!
A new company for us to carry, these 4 designs are available as charts.
  • Rose Band Sampler - Well, I lied... this one is for all year long - not necessarily Thanksgiving! LOVE the vintage-inspired rose medley medallion as well the the 4 delicate rows beside it. You could do a large 'mattress' cushion and stitch the 4 bands as the sides... or even do parts of those as smaller cushions. Lovely, and very classic.
  • The Autumn Quakers - Choose a white or creme for these, pretty acorn shadings with a hint of Quaker borders tossed in! Smaller one is close to 4 x 4, larger is closer to 6 x 6.
  • The Autumn Alphabet - Companions the cushions, right at about the same size... same motifs, colors... all three of these would be pretty together in a woven basket with acorns and dried leaves!
  • 1869 Thanksgiving Pin Cushion - Celebrating the year the US made Thanksgiving a National Holiday! Love the little shade pumpkins and vine... I might re-arrange those numerals on the date a little - but that's a personal thing. Tuck this in with the Autumn Quaker and Alphabet pillows.

Poltergeist Pirates from Glendon Place
Glendon Place's Cheryl has designed a friendly pirate ship that isn't as scary as the skulls on there would like! Stitched on Crossed Wing's hand-dyed BANG! linen... Charted for DMC floss, Cheryl has featured 6 colors of Rainbow Gallery's Silk Lame' braid in this and several Just Another Company clay button embellishments.The Lame is a silk-rayon blend with touches of opalescent metallic in it - gives a shimmer!

So, the ghosts are glow-in-the-dark, and so is the skull on the flag. The lightest blue in the waves is stitched with the Lame in frosty blue. I like the shark in the water, the dragon on the front of the ship, the ghosts clinging to the masts, but the little skeleton crow steals the show! He's got his captains hat on, and he's on guard! Offered as the chart, we have the Lame' threads, the fabric and buttons all gathered together as a set - because you really need all the right things to capture the charm of this cute piece.

from Quaint Rose Needlearts
  • Peppermint Urn - This is a pretty design - you'll notice that it is done on two different fabrics that are joined together to make the 7 x 7 cushion. The little X's across the seam are there for decoration... and QR directs you to a YouTube video for that joining process. Coded for Gentle Art or DMC floss, it's a festive little pot of peppermints!
  • Stitch and Be Merry - Another piece that features two different fabrics joined together. QR sends you to instructions for that if you want to take a look, but you can do this on one single cut as well. What makes this one fun, though, is that the tree is a THIRD cut of fabric appliqued on there! Could be wool if you wanted, rather than linen. Coded for silks of DMC, this finishes approx 6 x 11 on 36ct.

Brenda loves birds and charted a few of her backyard favorites this time around.
  • The Light of Winter is a 175 x175 sampler celebrating the winter solstice. It's a little christmassy but not too much - just more of a festive winter flavor. Model is stitched on 36ct winter brew - but many of the gorgeous hand-dyed on the market will look wonderful with this - you are not limited! DMC along with weeks and a bit of gentle art hand-dyeds, Brenda tossed in a few satins and Smyrna crosses fir a little texture and design interest. Very pretty and peaceful
  • Peppermint & Pine - Love these! A trio of birds in Brenda's new backyard, she's done these with a contemporary personality and added totally awesome pine cones to the mix. Super striking and geometric you get those long tails, the fat birds and the round cones full of tiny triangles for all the little scales. DMC and a medley of hand-yed flosses, they are stitched on Country Vintage Mocha fabric - which comes in several different counts. All three designs in the chart, they are charming.
  • Snow Magical - Here's a chunky looking little guy in his wintery-aqua-blue sweater. Finished into round shape, Brenda remembers her Grandmother's Snow Globes and this frigid friend might have been inside one of them. Approx 100 x 100, 5 x 5 on 40ct, he's done with DMC and hand-dyeds.

We're starting to get in Autumn patterns and school has started here, but this chart finally floated in via USPS today... and it's a reminder that is really still IS Summer!
  • The Seafarer's Journey by Twin Peak is just a fun piece. Coded for 14 shades of regular DMC, this measures just 111 x 108 in stitch count - so an enchanting 6 x 6 on 18/36ct! Ice blue is the suggested fabric color - it's showing through in the side and bottom panels. The flag across the top is solid stitching, as is the clipper ship in the center. Absolutely delightful, you could get 5 separate cushions out of this, finish the houses and flag bands into tiny drums, make a small stand-alone cube from the clipper ship section, even back the clipper ship block with the two side panels. Very eye catching... we like it!
  • Haunted Chateau - Quite the heavily guarded castle - it looks scary even before we bring Halloween into the mix! Knights and shields, that wrought iron fence -y border, then the wonderful haunted house, you could leave off the Halloween word and the alphabet and add a "welcome to our home' and you name! Measuring almost 275 stitches square this will finish approx 16 x 17 on 32ct - too big to miss! Coded for DMC, it's charming in a creepy way!

Love those pumpkins - you could add beads all over on those, give your kitties opalescent white eyes, or stitch them in Simply Wool. This measures 119 x 112 - so finishes approx 7-1/2 square on 32ct. This is Dirty... but there are lots of hand-dyed gingerbreads and nutmeg fabric colors that woud be stunning with this as well.

Safe Toucht by The Purple Thread - click to see more Safe Touch by The Purple Thread - click to see more
Safe Touch from The Purple Thread
This is the coolest little 'grime-guard!' Basically, it is a magnetized cover of wool that wraps around your fabric so your hand is not touching your needlework fabric. Sharon, from The Purple Thread, dreamed up this gizmo... first the wooden 'handles' are imprinted with inch and half-inch increments.
Use those for measuring just like a corner gauge. Next, whip stitch the bars onto the edges of the included heavy cut of wool. Then, wrap your 'blanket' around your hoop or Q-Snap or whatever you hold... and you can see from the pic that your fabric is protected from the oil/lotions on your hands. Packet contains the wooden bars with magnets attached, wool, bit of floss and directions for the whip stitching.

Our favorite farm animals are back again - everybody is at the beach this time around. Petal Pusher has 4 of the most delightful little 'parades' of farm animals - who have all proudly dressed up for their particular occasions.

Stitched on a pretty hand-dyed blue - any count you like - coded for DMC.

Teresa Kogut's Favorite Designs!
Seven new cross stitch pieces and 2 punch needle - they are so attractive!
  • Strawberry Manor - Finishing approx 12 x 8-1/2 on 36ct, this is worked on a lovely neutral with gold undertones to highlight all the reds, gunmetals and greens in it. Coded for DMC and Weeks.
  • Nature -- I just love this one! Finishing approx 14 x 11 on 36ct, it says Folkart and Whimsical right in the design! Regular DMC floss, pretty birds and lavish flowers.
  • Beauty Fades - This one is fun! I see four separate parts on this - it measures 7-1/2 x 16-1/2 on 36ct... so the top bands might need an inch or two on the ends if you make them into squatty pin drums, or you could duplicate one of the urns and alternate a few colors.
  • Remember Me - This one as the prettiest border surrounding such a happy house and yard! Love it! Finishes approx 13 x 14-1/2 on 36ct... Regular 'ol DMC can look really nice, can't it!?
Noteworthy Needle Turn Turn - click for more Spaghetti Western Sampler by Ardith Designs - click for more
More Super-Singles by Multiple Designers!
  • Turn Turn by Noteworthy Needle - I have absolutely no way to describe to you what this piece does other than the fact that it is a bunch of tiny triangular sides all stitched and finished in such a way that you can turn them inside out and around and your stitching changes to another season. It's all one piece! In looking through the chart, I have concluded that you have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out... or really, really good with visualization and geometrics and have a little patience! Janice had her stitched model at Market and it was enchanting to play with... just the coolest thing. So get this chart, and have fun figuring it out. It's on 32ct fabric and stitched with DMC and some Gentle Art hand-dyeds. The tree in here is stitched in three different seasons, REALLY cool, and you can see that the whole thing is pretty petite - because of the hands in the photograph. Talk about a conversation piece!
  • Spaghetti Western Sampler by Ardith Designs This is simply super cute! It's got a western theme... with pasta all over in it! Inspired by her mom, who loved the old spaghetti western movies and cooking spaghetti dinners on those Sunday nights, this piece is adorned with meatballs, all sorts of different pasta shapes, (wagon wheels and bow ties!) and of course, cowboys! There is a whole little story about it on the back of the chart. Stitched on a pale red fabric with DMC and/or Gentle Art hand-dyeds, it finishes approx 6 x 9 on 32ct. A REALLY COOL kitchen conversation piece... 'Yee Haw for Good food and Social Justice!'

Liberty Lobstah and Hedge Hugs
from The Elegant Thread
We hit Summertime and Valentines with these two offerings by The Elegant Thread!
  • Liberty Lobstah is just a fun little creepy crustacian! Stitched on a creme background, with 5 shades of Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed flosses, it'll finish 5 x 7 - with the words, or 3 x 5 without. Just a silly and cute little thing, the chart includes three silvertoned patriotic charms. Elegant Thread's Lobstah Dinner Ornament kit is still available as well - cute just like this one!
  • Hedge Hugs - Isn't this cute? Your baby hedgehog is bringing your love! Coded for Sulky thread - just follow the color pic on the chart cover to choose DMC, this finishes just 4 x 5 on 16/32ct. I'd choose a pretty brown Simply Wool for the hedgehog fur and a little black metallic for his eyes and nose!

Mr and Mrs Sherpa Sheep Accessory Holders
You'll remember our Mr Sherpa Sheep scissor/tool holder we have had for a couple of seasons... but here is Mrs! Of course, she is standing up on her feet, apron on, ready to work hard for you! Her apron has tiny pockets for threaders or counting pins, her crocheted basket is large enough for a thimble or tube of needles, and the strap around her apron is really 18 inches long to teather your scissors!

Those little bables are attached to HER so you can't lose them in a classroom situation of somewhere busy like a cruise ship! (Who knows all the fun places people stitch!) Anyway, a fun pin cushion, and super cool if you are a sheep lover! (Needles or scissors not included.)

  • Thank-You America Quilt Puzzle is full of patriotic quilt bits and pieces. (That Thank-You America Quilt banner across the center is NOT in the puzzle - you will have an uninterrupted quilt image when finished.)
