Shorttakes

 

Dawn's new designs may be exactly what you need for your next project! 

 

A Year of Gnomes - What a jam-packed treasure for all the gnome lovers among us!  These are sweet, fun, and not so huge that you can't actually stitch them all.

 

   

Ghosts Will Rise - I love the verse on this, but even more, I love that CAT!!  What great eyes!

Quaker Birds - I love this.  Now I love Quaker samplers anyway, but I really like that this one's on point.  So fun!

 

 

Debbie is my go-to designer for inspirational designs ~ and sometimes inspiration comes from unexpected places...like chocolate or stitching!  These new goodies are what we generally think of when we're looking for religious things.

Christmas Pinkies VIII - This year's ornaments celebrate "the reason for the season".

 

   

He is Faithful - I love this reminder.  We are always striving to be faithful in our faith, but it's good to be reminded that God is faithful first.

He First Loved Us - Another lovely reminder ~ we would not know love without His love first.

 

Good Fight - I like her suggestion that this would be a good gift for someone who is retiring!

 

Isi continues to delight us with her incredible imagination & creativity!  She never disappoints!

 

   

Bees' Sanctuary Stitching Box - Therese is so excited to get her hands on this one!  Not only for the lovely stitching, but she is enchanted by the finishing!  You know she'll be all over that.

Mrs Martha - This is what she calls a "semi-kit" ~ it includes a small piece of "We the People" fabric that's just right for this sampler.  And while she's named it after our first First Lady, I think she more accurately represents our hometown girl, Betsy!

 

 

How to be a Mermaid - Now we all know that Isi has given us a great selection of mermaid designs, but this is for all of us mere mortals who can only dream of being a mermaid.  A few words of guidance!

 

   

Pumpkins are Important - I love the verse on here: "A pumpkin a day keeps the goblins away".  And the pumpkins are hilarious ~ the one on the right reminds me of the Grinch!

Winter Coziness - That picture is the image of a lovely winter day: a kitty,  a warm drink & almost enough books for the day.  I also like that plaid pinpillow.

 

We are SO EXCITED for this new batch of stitchable wooden Christmas ornaments & bookmarks.  One thing to know about these kits: they include EVERYTHING you need to stitch & finish it.  You get the chart, the wooden ornament, the floss & felt finishing for the back!  Just stitch, cover & you're done.

 

     

Ugly Sweater: Fair Isle - I think this is a fun new addition to this series.

Ugly Sweater: Scandi - I think this one's actually kinda pretty!  Is that possible?

Ugly Sweater: Halloween - This is fun!  Ugly sweaters aren't just for Christmas.

 

   

Baby Penguin Ornament - This guy is too cute!

Gingerbread House Ornament - A perfectly sweet ornament.

 

   

Woodpecker Ornament - a great one to gift to the bird-lover you know.

Cardinal Ornament - A pretty pretty cardinal that you can bring inside.

Snowman Ornament - Isn't he cute?

 

   

Monarch Butterfly Ornament - This one's for all y'all out there who nurture these beautiful creatures.

Northern Lights Bear Ornament - Love the colors in this one.  And who doesn't love polar bears?

 

    

Landscape Bookmark - A slice of beauty that will make you smile when you open your book.

Floral Bookmark - A pretty floral pattern ~ gift it with a book on gardening for a special treat.

Geometric Bookmark - I do so love geometric patterns!  This one's fun!

 

Simona is one of the burgeoning group of Italian designers we love!  One thing I find so intriguing is what a great job she does with designs that are most definitely American in focus.

 

   

Festival of Harvest - What a lovely autumn design.

Festival of Ingathering - Another great autumn design.  These 2 designs feel like a great pair.

 

   

All Good Things - So many things to see (& stitch!) in this design.

Happy Halloween - Seems like a cozy little place.... 

 

   

Ghostly Music Sewing Set - What a fun creation!  And yes, you can make that drum into the music box (you'll want to be sure to get the music box finishing kit!).

 

Sue's fun designs never disappoint, from vintage bikes (& now a tricycle!) to charming hoop finishes.  She also has lots of great finishing ideas.

 

   

Life is a Stitch - Wouldn't this be fun for decorating your stitching nook?

Save the Bees - Sweet! 

 

First Adventure - Talk about vintage, this design is loaded with all the toys of my childhood, as well as that sweet verse from Winnie the Pooh.

 

       

Journey Home - A lovely design & a sweet verse.

Life & Liberty - A patriotic birdhouse for 2 bluebirds of happiness!

Sports - Perfect for everyone who needs a little something to stitch for the sports lover in their life!
