New Halloween House-Bump N.D'Knight Farm and a new Kit!

Bump N. D'Knight Farm

         There are strange things happening at the D'Knight's Farm.  There are loud noises, moans, and scratching sounds coming from the barn! Where are all the farm animals?  Did you see the ghosts peeping out from the windows of the farmhouse?  And who is that looking out the window of the attic?  There is much mischief afoot at the farm tonight-come and see if you can make sense of everything.  But beware-there is still something or someone going bump in the night!

This is coming out at the Norden Craft online Show in August! Start looking for this chart at your local shop!

Also be looking for our latest limited edition kit! It is called A Spider's Sewing Trifle. There are only 200 of these so get yours early!

 

Happy Stitching!

Online Needlework Show starts Today!

        The online Needlework Show (www.needleworkshow.com) starts to day at 2pm! Whoo Hoo!! Who doesn't love to shop and especially when you can buy more stash!! Keep the shoes, give me stitching!!
       After much begging and pleading from some of our stitching friends, (you know who you are!) we decided to release our Bluebird Trifle Case as a chart.  So if you did not get to purchase this sweet little design, then you have the chance to pick this up!

     The inside has a felt bird-shaped needle rest and a tiny thimble nest!  We did include all the materials list  and the finishing instructions! It is very small and could be finished in a couple of nights!

 

     We are also making another kit that we have had many requests for available as a chart.  It is call  the Bunny Garden Needleroll. 

     This is a chart features a needleroll, scissor weight and pincushion.  It also includes a bead pack. We did include all the materials list  and the finishing instructions! It is a good way to learn some of those fun stitches-especially when you only have to stitch 2 or 3 of them!

 

Have fun at the Needlework Show! Remember that even if you are shopping the night away, you still have to sleep!

 

Happy Stitching!

Fall online Needlework Show

     Hope that everyone is having a great fall. It is almost time for the fall online Needlework Show! (http://www.needleworkshow.com/)  It runs October 20-25.  Everyone can go and see all the new designs for the designers participating.  If you find something that you like, then you can visit (roadtrip!!) or call your favorite shop so they can order it for you!  It is a way that you can see new designs and designers that you may not know about. We are also having a doorprize drawing! Have fun!

Pumpkins

      

    This fall we decided to design a piece that shows our fasination with all the beautiful colors and shapes of pumpkins!  Pumpkins are a big thing here in North Carolina with all the kindergarten children making trips to the pumpkin farm to select their very own pumpkin and to ride on the hay wagon.  Such a fun trip for everyone!

Christmas Biscornu

This small elegant biscornu is a fast stitch and the perfect little gift for that special stitcher in your life.  Stitched in red on the front and green on the back,  it looks just like the Christmas season but the colors can be changed to fit your own taste.  All the stitching instructions are included with the chart.  We were able to stitch it up and finish it in a weekend-so plenly of time to make several before the holidays!

Take care and we will be in touch--we have pictures from the Cleveland County Fair!

Online Needlework Show Starts!!

The online Needlework Show starts on Thursday! We have 2 new designs that are being released just for this show. We are also having giving away 3 copies of our new design Willow House Retreat (pictured at left). Make sure that you take the time to see all the new designs and let your shop owners know so they can place an order for you! You can see it starting on Thursday afternoon at 2pm(est). The link is http://www.needleworkshow.com/

Le Jardin de Lapin is our other new design. A smaller design that is full of interesting details. This cute little piece has a little story behind it! My husband did not like the name that we had picked out--several names actually. So Susan and I decieded that this name would be elegant and yet the first name that we choose--but in French. So there! Le jardin de Lapin. (Bunny Garden). It has been so much fun to stitch!

New design for the online Needlework Show and more

It has been a fun and exciting time getting ready for the online Needlework Show. (www.needleworkshow.com) It starts today (YEAH!) and we are so excited to introduce to you our new designs

This is the Peppermint Christmas Pillow. It is a very fast piece to stitch and features buttons and beads! We just love the association of the memories of childhood and the sweet taste and smell of peppermint. Those memories are in a special place in our hearts!

PuNkins 4 SaLe is a whimisical piece that is stitched on 18st linen over 2 threads. It is FAST! The crows are busy selling off the farmer's pumkin crop--at least until the farmer comes home!

Snowflake Ballet is a delicate ornament that while not in the tradtional colors of Christmas, is a sweet piece to hang upon the tree or give as a gift to that special person.

We are going to post pictures of the smalls for Days of Creation. We plan to put them on the side bar so that you can see all the pictures of the basket and smalls at one look. If you can't wait...check us out on Facebook and see them there!

We will be in touch!!
Happy Stitching!!

The first is Freedom Park. It is the latest in the Down the Lane series. It is the 4th of July in Shepherd's Way and everyone has turned out fro the fireworks display. We get to share in their delight as they gaze at the glittering sky.

Do Ye Goode is a traditional sampler that is fun to stitch with beads and small motifs. The verse is from John Wesley and talks about how we can make a difference in our world by doing good right where we are.

Bunny Umbrella is an adorable little celebration of Spring. The rain is made from tiny seed beads and th bunnies are a so much fun to stitch!

The Strawberry Pyn Cushion is a delightful addition to your sewing basket. It has a spot on the back that make a great place for personalization. It would even make a delightful gift for a dear stitching friend!

Our office and other disasters

So many of you would like to see our office (a small converted bedroom at Pam's house) and see what we are doing. Well here it is. All those bright colors are not just on our designs! We love color and we have lined the wall of the office with floss. What inspiration!

But that is only the two walls--turn around and you see--more floss!
