Shorttakes
Annie's brash bold style always makes me smile & often makes me laugh!! I'm sure you'll love these.
Room with View - I'm not sure what the view might be, but I might be pulling the blinds!
Sheet Faced - I freakin' love this one!! Sheet faced!! Bwahaha!!!
Boo Cat - Too cute! This will be adorable in your Halloween treat bowl (just don't give it to any trick-or-treaters!).
Mr & Mrs Dracula - They are hilarious!
Autumn Scarecrows - Soemthing about their smiles makes me think of the Wizard of Oz.
Mr & Mrs Autumn - Those apples look tasty!!
German Santa - Oh Lise, you would have LOVED this one. As soon as this popped up I thought of our girl & all the German Shepherds she loved.
Jan's designs have become some of my favorites ~ I love her color, her flair, her imagination...I may not stitch them all, but I seem to have collected the vast majority of them!
Huntindon Hall Sampler - I can't even pinpoint exactly what I love about this, but I LOVE this sampler. The alphabet font on the left is different, I love the blues, I like crowns too....you name it, I like it!
Florigraphica: Hydrangea - Hydrangeas are my favorite bush! I love them in all their different kinds & colors, but that periwinkle blue color shown here is my all time FAVORITE! So, yep, this one goes right to the top of my stash! PS. I also like that border on the right & bottom!
We've all come to love their overdyed fabrics, but their samplers are also just as amazing!! They've not released new colors of fabrics, because, as they've noted, while the fabric pipeline is moving again, they are still looking at a 3-4 month timeframe from order to shipping. And let me say that as a shopowner I appreciate that. It is always so hard to post something "New", but with the caveat that we won't have it until next year! So for now, we'll content ourselves with enjoying their new samplers!
Brenda's Sampler - Love that border & the house with the pup in the yard! This would be a lovely gift to give a new family or a family's new home.
Acorn Manor - Oooohh...another fantastic border ~ love those acorns! And the rich colors of autumn really pop.
Elizabeth Campbell - That's 3 awesome borders in a row! Yep, I know I've got an issue, but stil... I like this smaller sampler & the well-balanced linear feel to it really appeals to me.
Two Red Houses - I'm not an A&E fan, but I do like this sampler!
Robin continues to delight us with her design style! These new creations are no exception.
Eliza Easom Sampler - A simple schoolgirl sampler, all stitched in 1 color.
Charlotte Bridger Sampler - Love the verse on this sampler ~ it is good to remind ourselves that we need to be more childlike.
Pumpkins Alight - Now why does that cat look bored? Halloween night is no time for sleeping!!
Rossana's style has captured my heart since her earliest designs. And then our friend Kathy used several of them as darling birth announcements (with just a few alterations) & made me love them even more! The whimsical feel of these designs never disappoints.
Halloween in a Jar - I think this is a cool premise (it took me a minute to see the jar...), and this design is chock full of spooky things, from the jack-o-lantern flag in amongst the black roses to the haunted house to the skull & cross bones flag in that basket of pumpkins...loads of haunting treats!
Halloween Party - This looks like a totally fun party crew. Beware of partying with redheads though...I know of which I speak (between a sister & a college roommate...).
Cup of Halloween - Okay, confession: I thought that cup was a ghost...
Santa & the Gingerbreads - Sounds like a boy band! And just as tasty!
Holly's designs are so intriguing & we're looking forward to getting our hands on them!
Stitchy Witchy Bell Pull - What a cool design! I love that verse & all the different motifs! On the right, see the acrylic hardware she is offering as well.
Frankenstein Sampler - Spooky!!
Hocus Pocus - Not gonna name names (DEB!), but I know QUITE A FEW of y'all to whom this applies!
Well, this is just about exactly what I feel like! I'm on hour number 10 today & it's been all newlsetter, all day. And that is the good news, because that tells ya how much stuff there is that I want all y'all to see! Thank goodness for baseball today ~ I went from the Phillies game (which was AWESOME!) to the Little League World Series Championship game (which was won on a walkoff home run by California, after the team from Curacao had tied it up with a grand slam home run!) to Sunday Night Baseball featuring Atlanta (gag!) vs San Fran (also, gag). Obviously I don't care who wins the final game ~ I'm actually trying (not very hard) to cheer for Atlanta because of a complicated playoff standing where San Francisco is chasing the Phillies (therefore the more SF loses, the better). However, I really just can't bring myself to cheer for Atlanta. Not gonna happen. So at this point I'm just hoping for an extra long game and that they bang the crap out of each other (currently the Atlanta pitcher just walked in the tying run....suckah!!).
Anyway! Be sure to check out all the great new stuff headed our way ~ whether it's coming from this Market or just new stuff for the sake of new stuff! In the meantime, I'm gonna wrap this alll up & get it on its way!
Hugs & stitches ~
Beth & all the marathoners at TSS
PS. San Fran won. Meh...
