New Patterns!

I'm happy to share with you
the new summer-time 
cross stitch pattern releases
for your stitching pleasure...

"Strawberry Hill Sampler"
A pattern that centers around re-purposing
a Whitman's Sampler Chocolate box (12 oz cardboard size).
 The box is painted, lined with old book pages,
and then topped off with a lovely cross stitch pinkeep...
a great little box to keep your stitching needfuls!
 
The pattern is filled with 4 fun-to-stitch projects...
A huswife for keeping your needles and scissors safe.
The needle roll folds up, bill-fold style,
and is secured with twill tape tie...
the back of the needle roll huswife
is adorned with a stitched sampler.
The 3rd project is the crow/strawberry pincushion
with antique lace edging and buttons...
And lastly, a little wool felt strawberry!  A little pocket on the front will hold your scissors
and the berry booklet opens up to secure your needle.
All the cross stitch projects in the "Strawberry Hill Sampler" are worked on 35 count Park City Blend linen over two threads.

A NEW series,  
"Thimble Purses"

Tiny little purses worn around your neck
to keep your thimble safe! 
 These can be functional or just a fun accessory.

The pattern includes the mini purse frame.
  All designs are worked on 40 count linen over two threads.
...old buttons stitched to the purse
or slid on the hemp cording
adds extra charm!
Collect and stitch all 5!

And last but not least,
JULY WORD PLAY 
July's Word Play has a nautical & 4th of July theme...
fish, sail boat, anchor and mermaid motifs worked in bright summertime
colored flosses!  The design is worked on 35 count linen over 2 threads.   Full and partial floss paks are available, as always!


With thy Needle & Thread,
Brenda

Wonderful new designs. I might have to change the crows on the strawberry sampler though. We don't like them around here because they steal the bird feed.:)

Hey Brenda, maybe you could give us a tutorial or some tips on how you painted/stained the Whitman Sampler box sometime!

Thanks!
