  Heart In Hand, Bent Creek and Twisted Threads have joined together to design! Each design has a portion designed by each firm, so they contain a wonderful merging of styles. Often you can tell exactly which designer did which part! |
|||
Harvest Tall TrioThe Trilogy has released three new Fall designs... this is just one! (To see the rest, just scroll down... you'll love what you see!) Harvest Tall Trio is yet another seasonal design that is a 'stack' of cute motifs. Joining Hop (Easter and Spring), Yule (Christmas), USA (patriotic), and Boo (Halloween)... each complete kit provides you with three designs that you can stack together, or mix and match for other cute sets! Along with the linen, overdyed flosses and sterling silver embellishment, you get a taste of The Trilogy's whimsy in design. Think about stitching all the 'word' blocks together... or all the top motifs in a tall stack. Lots of possibilities!) | |||
 Winter Sneak Peek Trilogy continues their *Peeks* with Winter... and all of it arrived in one box today! A tribute to winter and it's blowing snow (which most of the country hasn't seen very much of this year!) The first chart includes the overall border and left-hand block -- a polar bear and the family igloo. The middle two squares are presented in Snowy Fun and Folly -- A snowman losing his hat to that flying snowball, and the unfortunate skier. The final two squares include the other half of the snowball fight, and the People-Igloo! You can stitch all of this together, or just do the smaller blocks individually -- your choice. There is an embellishment pack for that border, which I love! All together, everything measures approx 3-1/2 x 11 on 32ct. Just cute Winter themes, so HOPEFULLY you can display all snowy-winter-long! | |||
 Domes of Yule The Trilogy has a new set of charts -- one larger, main leaflet, and three smaller coordinating cards. The main 3-1/2 x 8-1/2 design reads; Christmas Time is for Santa's gifts, mistletoe, kisses and togetherness. You can stitch just that, or leave out the gifts, mistletoe and kisses, and insert the individual 2 x 2-1/2 Dome designs instead! Then it reads *Christmas Time and Togetherness.* Or, skip all that, and stitch the three little designs and assemble them into ornaments! (Confused yet?) We have some stitched pics here, and a digital image, too, to help clarify. All cute, everything is stitched in an assortment of DMC or hand-dyeds on 32ct Summer Khaki linen, and trimmed with a few gold beads and jingle bells... which surely you have in your stash! | |||
Autumn Sneak PeekTrilogy has sent their latest Sneak Peek pattern -- this time ALL IN ONE SHIPMENT! You can buy the whole thing at one time, and be done with it!!! The light leafy border that sports a few button embellishments surrounds 5 - 2 x 2 boxes of autumnal designs -- A little leaf girl, scarecrow and turkey, and finally a kitty and hungry crows. The entire piece measures 3-1/2 x 11 on 32ct Summer Khaki Belfast Linen, and is worked in a combination of hand-dyed flosses. Offered in 3 separate sheet charts, embellishments an additional option... it's all here at one time! | |||
Domes of Doom!Trilogy has something fun for the upcoming season! Domes of Doom can be stitched three different ways -- but the leaflet cover doesn't tell you that!!!!! You have to READ the instructions -- and that's your scare! This is cute! Stitch the 'Spooky Night' verse with the little black cat in the middle -- just as is. OR... delete the middle row, and add the three tiny Dome Designs (offered in three separate cards) in there instead. (You'll find that model image only on the back cover of the little cards.) OR... just stitch the three smaller designs and finish them however you like.  The smaller designs finish approx 2 x 2-1/2, and the whole piece just 3-1/2 x 8-1/2. Dastardly Duo has the skeleton and ghost in it. Hoot and Hiss are the cat and owl, while Haunted Heads has those tiny Frankenstein and witch faces that are ONLY 8 x 8 stitches in size! Do this over one thread, and it'll be a petite 2 x 4-ish! Worked on 32ct Dirty Belfast with overdyeds, there are a few beads to embellish and a trio of gold star charms available separately. This could have been a split-ship auto-thing... but all came at the same time... and we're thrilled about that! All is available NOW and IN STOCK! | |||
Secret Birthday SurpriseHere's another *Secret* design by The Trilogy -- these started out being multi-directional squares of tiny motifs -- you could turn your design any way, and you couldn't tell which was the top! We're more one-directional with this one, and it's just plain cute! Something fun to celebrate a special day for a family, this finishes as a 4 x 4 piece. Same idea as several of Trilogy's other *Secret* pieces... we so seldom have something to stitch to celebrate a birthday... it caught our eye! Offered as the chart with 32ct Natural Belfast linen cut and two brass star charms. |
|||
Summer Sneak PeekA little border of citrus slices surrounds what will be 5 small panels of motifs that all remind one of Summertime! Offered in the same format as Trilogy's Spring, Christmas and Halloween Sneak Peeks, you'll end up with a stitched pic that is approx 3 x 11 on 32ct Rue Green Linen. The first square features a little dog dreaming about his tennis ball and bone. Later, among other things, there is a tiny lighthouse in here... and a snorkler! Part One offers the border and dog chart, with embellishments. Swimming, picnics, playful dogs and hot dogs!!! The final two card charts deliver the Chef and Picnic Goodies, and Diver and Ice Cream Stack Up. |
|||
Baby Line-UpTrilogy's newest Line-Up design... this one is a cute baby announcement. Small enough to stitch quickly, but large enough to make a nice presentation. Offered as a leaflet, there are no featured embellishments, but we can always come up with a few special ones, if you like. Finishing 5-1/2 inches square over two on 32ct, this is the same size as all the other Line Up Designs... and we smiled when we discovered that Trilogy chose to feature Wedding Line Up on the back of this cover!!! (for those of us who are *old fashioned!!!*) |

|||

|||
Sneak Peek for Christmas!The Trilogy's 5-panel piece of glimpses into Christmas has all arrived!

|||
Nicky Santa, Buddy the Drummer Boy and... Bernice! Trilogy is beginning some simple ornament designs, presented as small card charts. Just 40 x 40 stitches, our Mona finished them on Weeks Wool, just a simple pinked edge treatment. Nicky is garnished with gold lights, and Buddy, a sterling silver snowflake.

|||
Secret SantaTrilogy has several new releases... a new Sneak Peek for Christmas, two small ornament designs, and this new *Secret* design. They have lots that match this cube... all the 'Secret' designs feature small motifs all jumbled together... with at least one of them right-side-up, whichever way you turn the finished piece! (I guess the top is the Secret!!!) Anyway, this one is all Santas, and they really are very cute! A couple of them would be super-dinky on scissor fobs! Offered as the chart with cut of 32ct Natural Belfast Linen, and a clay package button, you supply the flosses from your stash. We've finished all of the 'Secrets' into stand-up cubes at the shop... and after lots of years -- they all still appeal! |

(They have a million designs in this series)... this finishes into a 5 x 5 stitched piece that is charming! In most of them, they have turned the motifs, so that there is more than one top and bottom. This one has a definite design direction... you can tell, by all those fun little crabs peeking from the sandcastles and beach umbrellas, and the mermaid. Just really cute, these are always popular with the shop customers! Offered as the chart with 32ct Natural Linen and the clay button. |

|||
Lucky TreeWell... this little guy might have been to the Casino! His tree is full of money blooms! Another of Trilogy's tiny trees, this one comes as the small card with clay buttons separately. Swirly and cute... something quick for the St Pat's Day lover! |

|||
Summer Tiny TrioA petite 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch piece, this is a companion to the Summer Tiny Trio. Offered as the small card with 32ct Natural Belfast linen cut and Mill Hill glass bee Treasure, it's kind of cute. It calls for overdyeds, which are not included in the package. I'm thinking that this set will have all four seasons... wouldn't they be cute finished as individual cubes that you could stack together and tie up as one??? Just like ABC blocks! |
|||
Patriotic Tree: TruthJust like the rest of Trilogy's feather trees, this one features very little stitching, but by the time you add the embellishments... it looks like you've fussed! Just a little thing.. it's worked in overdyeds and garnished with a set of 3 golden clay circles. Finishes approx 3 x 3-1/2 on 32ct. Offered as the small card chart, with buttons separately. |
|||
Neighbor RayI'm thinking this is another in the Snowman Village! Joining Uncle Wrigley and all... this little guy is holding his coffee spoon! Offered as the card with spoon separate. |

Spring Tiny TrioA petite stack of designs... stitch count on this measures a mere 24 x 73!

The chart comes with a cut of Belfast Linen and a sterling flower charm... you add bits of overdyed flosses from your stash. Cute and Quick. |
|||
Christmas Line-UpThe Trilogy has released a Christmas design to match the rest of their Line-Ups... that will probably need to be added to NEXT YEAR's stitching schedule!!! Cute rows of stockings, presents, trees and candy canes, you could add lots of beads to the ornaments, metallics to their hangers and the peppermint stick, and a little furry thread onto Santa's beard! Finishing approx 6 x 6 on 28ct linen, all in this series are real cute! Offered as the leaflet. |
|||
Momma BetteThe consummate chef, Bette is delivering a tray full of *Snowball Cookies!!!* Offered as a small card with the clay snowballs, Bette finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3, including her simple border.

Happy Home Home DayJust a little house in the suburbs... very plain and straight... no teenagers with purple hair and tattoos live here!!! (never say never...!)

Kind of sweet. |
|||
 Secret Crush and Secret ShamrockThe Trilogy releases two new Secret Garden pieces... they coordinate with all 7 of the rest in this series!!!

Fun little 4 x 4 collages of tiny motifs, Secret Crush definitely has a top and bottom... while Shamrock and the rest have things facing every-which direction scattered throughout! Charming, we keep finishing our shop models into stand-up cubes, because they present so well that way. Browse down the Trilogy page to see if you can spot the rest of these... Secret Snowdrift has been the favorite so far, with Flower coming in second! All are fun! |
|||
 Zoo Line-UpWell, isn't this cute? They needed one for household animals like the cat, dog, bird, and fish, (with space for the optional spider or snake!!!) Anyway, this IS cute, and you could hang it over the hamster cage... or in an animal-lover's bedroom! I like the little elephant in there, the penguin is darling, and the alligators are pretty cool! (I guess if you live in Florida, you'd rather have these alligators on your walls than in the backyard!) Offered as a leaflet, it finishes approx 5 x 5, and is a fun companion to the rest of the Line-Up designs! (4 Seasons, Halloween and Easter!) |
|||
  Winter HouseThe final seasonal house... just a little card with a pack of 5 snowball buttons... this has been a nice set. Some have stitched it all together as one -- I think our pic shows that... or you could simply change them out all the time! Small and cute! Offered as the card with buttons. Autumn House The next little seasonal house, this 5 x 6 creation features a pretty set of hand-made clay leaves and a tiny acorn... some for the tree, some to scatter in the brisk fall air. Cute little houses, each season is offered as a small single card with the appropriate clay buttons. Summer House The second of 4 houses... this is offered as a small card design with clay embellishments. It's a chubby lighthouse with lots of flowers growing in it's side garden. Just simple and cute, no seasons or months are listed... just stitch it and hang it where-ever!!! Finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3 on 32ct Natural. Spring House A new Trilogy Token Card, you have a tiny house that says NO month or season on it... it's just a tiny, cute house... complete with roosting birds everywhere! You can leave it out past any specific month... because it doesn't 'tattle on you' and tell anyone that it should have been put away two weeks ago! Offered as the small chart-card, with set of Trilogy Trinket clay birds, it finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3 on 32ct. There ARE two different overdyed colors in the roof... that's what gives it so much 'movement!' Quick and Easy! |
|||
 Aunt Ethel and Cousin WrigleyI believe Trilogy is starting a snow-person family, with Ethyl and Wrigley as the first. Offered as small cards, each finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3 on 32ct, and is embellished with Trilogy Trinkets. Ethel has the Birds 'o Plenty set, and Wrigley (cause he loves baseball) has the snowball set. Just for fun! |

 Halloween Line UpTrilogy celebrates Halloween in a big way, with lots of teeny weeny motifs, all lined up in the cutest way! Offered as a leaflet, Halloween Line Up joins the seasons already published, and is just as charming. Finishing approx 5 x 5 on 28ct linen... (our Spring Line Up shop model is worked over one thread so it's half that size!) every row features such fun little things.  Check out the owls at the top, then all the spiders... then the precious and scary Trick-or-Treaters at the bottom! You have Superman down there, an angel, I think a pirate, and definitely a mummy... Great colors of DMC OR hand-dyed! |
|||
Secret Vegetable GardenTrilogy has released three new designs... and I thought this Vegetable Garden thing was really cute! It's the 7th in their Secret Garden set of designs... little squares that seem to have no actual top or bottom side to them! This one is full of garden color -- greens and oranges -- full of garden critters -- rabbits and snails -- and full of yummy vegetables... complete with the carrot button and a little garden worm! Packet includes the pattern, carrot, worm and 32ct Summer Khaki linen cut. You add bits of floss, and the tray of veggies to snack on while you're stitching! |
|||
Egg HuntHere's Trilogy's latest Secret Garden design... it's the 6th in this set of designs. Each of the other designs seems to have no definitive top or bottom to the design... you can turn them each way, and never quite know which is the top or sides. Egg Hunt, I think, has a top! The chick in the basket at the bottom is right-side up, the brown bunny in the lower-left corner is right-side up, and the little clay bird button on the right edge is right-side up too! (Enough of my trite observations!!!) It's very colorful, and full of Spring Charm, and I think it's really cute! Offered as the chart, linen and clay buttons... you add the bits of floss from your stash! |
|||
Flower PowerA new Take-Along Kit, FP features 11 different overdyed flosses, 32ct Silvery Moon Belfast Linen, and a Mill Hill glass bee Treasure!

|||
Easter Line-UpWow... here's another Line-Up Leaflet that is FULL of Holiday appeal! Always a series of 6 borders, all of the Line-Ups have been full of lots of creativity! You can pull out so many cool little motifs and rows and add them to other pieces, make small ornaments, whatever! I love the row of bunnies second from the bottom... they are just whiskers, but to me... all the rabbits look like they're wearing those sunglasses with the big nose attached! Finishing approx 3 x 3 over one thread, or 5-1/2 inches over two on 32ct, just plain cross stitches, with lots of potential!!! |
|||
Ode to SnowI *think* this *might* be a new set of designs... 'Check It out!' Clues would be the checkerboard background on the actual leaflet cover... and then the checkerboard pattern in the snowflake arrangement, snowman coloring, and definitely the border he's standing on! Finishing approx 2 x 8 on 32ct Dirty Belfast Linen, Mr Snow is stitched with Weeks and Gentle Art overdyeds. Is he holding a miniature snowglobe with a snowman inside? I count it as 11 stitches high... which is pretty petite! |
|||
 
Happy Mom and Dad's Days!A pair of small cards... Mom is full of floral charm, while Dad is a little fishy! But you know... if Dad is the gardener-guy, or Mom likes to fish... just switch the words!!! Both are offered as small cards with the sterling silver charm featured in the design -- included. Finishing approx 3 x 4 or 4 x 4... use bits of overdyeds from your stash. Perfect for the upcoming Mother's and Father's Days!!! |

Offered as a leaflet, this has been a set of designs that is full of rows/borders of seasonal motifs. If you're into making up your own samplers and such... these have been a gold-mine for you! Stitched on 32ct Natural Belfast in Weeks and Sampler Threads, each season finishes approx 5 x 5. Just fun... Magic By Mona -- our finisher -- is making a 4-sided cube stand-up with all of these! Or you could stitch them all in a row, like the folks at The Trilogy did. (Look at this chart a little... you could pick out a 2-inch wide strip and just stitch it... or you could pull out the snowman and add an inch-wide sampler of all the borders below him... this whole set of designs has been packed full of possibilities! |
|||
Holiday SurprisesThe latest in the 'Secret Series' by Trilogy... this joins the Spring Secret Garden, Summer Birdhouses, Autumn Pumpkins, and Winter Snowman versions of this fun set of designs! If you'll study them a bit, you'll realize that each has no real top, side, or bottom. The motifs in each face all four directions! Now that we have four in the set... you could assemble them as cube stand-ups -- no bows -- and let everyone re-arrange them on your table -- like building blocks! Offered as the chart with linen and embellishments, each finishes approx 4 x 4... and because the direction of design teases your eye... they're a little more interesting than your average sit-about! Check out the tiny rocking horse, the elf, teddy bear and truck... there's a doll coming out of a package... but I haven't seen the big diamond yet... |
|||
Christmas with FriendsA companion design to Friendship in All Seasons... this is a small card design that simply speaks for itself! Embellished with Trilogy's sterling heart charm, the words tell you what you need to know! Over one, this finishes approx 1-1/2 x 2-1/2! |

(Winter Line-Up has darling penguins in it... and is pictured in the 4-seasonal main pic on the back cover of the leaflet... but we don't have it yet! A Sneak Preview!!!???) This is a really creative set of designs... so we'll just have to be patient for Winter! Finishes approx 5 1/2 inches square on 32ct. |
|||
Autumn TreeAnother cute little feather tree from The Trilogy... this one has an acorn top, clay leaf embellishments, and a cute squirrel carrying away his treasured acorn! Joining Summer's Enjoy, Winter's Cheer, Spring's Renew and Christmas's Rejoice, each of these is a small card design with an exclusive set of embellishments. Finishing approx 3 x 4, nothing too big, these trees are seasonal, and something light-in-stitching for the season. The leaves, this time, are new to Just Another Button Company -- they are two-tone mustard and cinnamon. I hope they do more of these in other sizes and colors! |
|||
Frightfully Fun -- A Take Along KitTrilogy's newest Fall design follows the 3 x 7 horizontal size, which we love to finish into wedge-shaped boxes in the shop! All those wonderful Fall shades of Weeks and Sampler Threads in here...Brandy, Cinnamon and Sweet Potato to name a few... you're working on 32ct Natural Belfast Linen. The little kitties are sitting in the pumpkin patch waiting for mischief, I wager! The complete kit contains the chart, threads, linen, needle and star button, all packaged in a clear plastic 'wallet,' designed to Take Along in a hurry!!! | |||
Witchy Witchy BroomhildaThe 3rd annual Trilogy Witch is here, and she is 'one scary broad!' Big hips, that square smile... her legs aren't too shapely, either!!!

Joining the Pumpkin, Flower and Snowdrift designs -- Birdhouses is the Summer edition -- and is full of cute details, just like all the rest! Look closely if you can, to see the birdhouses and birds going all different directions. (It might be kind of hard to see this time, because the cover pic on the kit is so dark but we lightened it as best we could. So check out the other three in the set, you'll see what I mean!) Darling, the design comes with 32ct Natural Belfast Linen, the chart, and tiny clay embellishments. You can use bits of overdyeds from your stash. |

Welcome Home Take-Along KitA greeting we all want to see when we get home... this is a quaint scene of three houses, welcoming us home!

Finishing approx 3 x 7 over two threads, the complete kit contains the chart, 32ct Natural linen, the pre-sorted overdyed flosses, the little moon buttons, and needle. It's all packaged in a clear plastic wallet-style folder, so it's easy to stuff into your bag and take along -- just like the name implies!
