The Stitching Shed : The Silver Needle, Fine Needlecraft Materials


Owl Sampler Approx 9-1/2 x 11-1/2 in size, how can something so simple be so cute!!! Stitch one of all of them! Cupcake Sampler Perfect for the Birthday Girl!!! Finishes approx 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, don't you just love the colors? Add a few bead sprinkles for decoration! Chicken Sampler Features a more dusty color palette than the rest of these, this is another 8 x 8-1/2 piece -- companions Cluck, Cluck!
Cluck, Cluck 6-1/2 x 6-1/2, This follows the same color scheme as the little chickens above! Pretty Garden Sampler 9 x 6, Here's a charming collection of pots featuring birdhouses, flowers and those gardeny birds! Leave out the alphabet if you want! Lighthouse I love this one! So cute for a children's bathroom or bedroom at the lake house! I especially like the cabanas leaning down the beach! Finishes approx 9-1/2 x 5-1/2.
Woodland Another cute children's room piece, this one features animals that are mainstream, but so much different from the usual in baby samplers and announcements. You get an owl, squirrel, fox and that darling hedgehog! Finishes approx 8 x 9, without any personalization. ZOO Wow... talk about fun circus and zoo animals! Everything is in here! Finishing approx 8-1/2 x 9, it'd be a cute nursery wall decoration! Home Sweet Home Well, the verse says it all! finishing approx 7 x 7, this one would be cute with some hand-dyed flosses tucked into the grass and sky.
A Year in Stitches Oh golly, this is fun! Tiny monthly motifs, you could make a whole set of teeny ornaments or a bunch of cute scissor fobs. Finishing only 5 x 7-1/2, each block is a mere 17 x 19 stitches -- just bitty things! Super simple, yet super cute! Make a Wish & On The Move One for the girl, one for the boy... each of these finishes approx 6-1/2 x 7. You could leave off the words at the top and personalize these if you'd like... you could even leave the stitching out of the middle and insert a photograph -- just like a stitched photo frame!
Noel More tiny blocks to stitch into tiny ornaments, this finishes approx 5 x 7 which makes the panels approx 1-1/2 x 2 inches! Lots of embellishment possibilities on this one! Tree Card and Santa Card These two are shown glued to the front of a paper greeting card... so these charts comes with their own paper card and envelope. Finishing a bit under 5 x 7... I think these would be cute displayed on the card -- in MY OWN HOUSE! I don't think I'd stitch these and actually mail them to my card list!!! Maybe someone special, though!!!
Ark Sampler All the way from England, we are charmed to present a cheerful and perky Noah's Ark piece that is bursting at the seams with animals and happiness! In her light and whimsical style, the colors are clear and pretty, you just can't help yourself... you smile! The Ark sampler features the alphabet below the ark, so you can include that, or personalize, using the letters as your template to announce a special baby arrival... ! Offered as the chart, Ark finishes approx 7 x 11 on 28ct. The Address Sampler is another new release... a perfect housewarming gift!
The Christmas Collection This is a delightful set of 8 ornament-sized designs that really caught my eye! Offered as charts, each is simple, stitched in Weeks overdyed flosses, and Anchor solid floss. (We don't carry Anchor in the shop anymore... so you'll just have to get into your thread stash a little, and choose a few pretty colors.) Anyhow, each of these is the same size -- 52 x 52 stitches -- so can be teeny-weeny of you want, or up to 4 x 4 on 14ct. No special stitches or anything, I just love the designs because they're light and cheerful! Each is shown buttoned onto a felt pillow, with heart embellishments in the corners. No special buttons are called for... but we have tons of that sort of thing, if that is your favorite finishing treatment! Quite cute and quick to stitch, they're a tiny bit on the pricey side -- because they come all the way from England!!!
