Cmon Monde : The Silver Needle, Fine Needlecraft Materials


Cmon Monde! 'C'mon World! Come enjoy of bit of Paris and some darling designs by French artist Virginie Grousse! All are offered as charts and coded for DMC and Sampler Threads... there is French wording inside -- but stitchers can always read DMC and Sampler Thread colors!!!!!
Miss Paris Stitch count of 109 x 87, she's full of pink, and black charm! She's the consummate shopper, don't you just want to be in Paris with her and her little white dog???? Finishing approx 5 x 7 on 32ct, she'd make a darling photo album cover, or look great on the front of a little pink polka-dot tote! Just a delightful design... a favorite of mine!
Le Nuage de Pere Noel 'The cloud of Father Christmas'... he's saying that he sees the wise children. In other words, that means that Santa is watching and seeing all the good children before he visits on Christmas! (even without his glasses on -- see them by his boots!?) So whimsical and cute, stitch count of 120 x 171, just charming!
Les Trois Sages 'Three Wisemen.' A trio of little stitched Santa Elves! The stitched area on these is approx 45 x 90. You stitch the face and body, stuff them, and add the charming curly-q legs and some stick arms... and you have a precious trio! There are finishing instructions inside printed in English; she calls the stuffing 'wadding!' All three are charted in the pack.
Toc Toc Toc We're not sure what the title of this means, as one site translated to fake, fake! Another translated it as Knock, Knock Knock. We think it's a darling piece -- Santa is there with Rudolph (see the red nose!) -- there are snowflakes scattering across the sky, we just like the whole 'flavor' of the 122 x 126 design. This one uses lots of Sampler Threads -- Onyx, Piney Wood, Weathered Barn, Cherry Wine and Sarsaparilla.
Un Tour dans mon Sac Another interesting translation -- 'A Tour in my bag.' We think this is a happy little Halloween witch at home, with her mug of morning coffee! Could be poisonius brew, but the birds are all happy, so who knows! She measures 90 x 119 stitches and is stitched mostly in Onyx Sampler Threads. Cute!
Au Pays aes Tulipes Country Tulips! I love this very organized little garden scene! Everything lined up straight in rows, even the laundery on the line if perfectly white!!!!! You get two designs in this chart pack... larger is 149 x 87, smaller is 63 x 74.
Les Lettres de mon Jardin Letters from my Garden. This is a stitcher sampler! She's sitting outside in her garden, finishing up a few projects... this is charted for either the blue (overdyeds) or rose (DMC) colored version, and is just the sweetest little thing! 107 x 102. There is a wooden scissor embellishment shown on each -- we do not have those -- you'll need to visit your stash for something cute to dress this piece, if you like.
Quand le Chat est la... When the cat is... (out, the mouse will play!) Oh my gosh, check out the CHARM of this piece! The cat is rotund, with that awesome curly tail, the mouse is wearing a pink Tu-Tu! The tiny bluebird is just singing away... he's not worried about life at all!!!!! Over-the-top personality in these two 90 x 75 pieces!
