HOT OFF THE PRESS IN DECEMBER

 Just in from Stacy Nash Primitives are several new pinkeep patterns.  I know some of  my customers have had their fill of pinkeeps, but I just love them.  They are usually a quick stitch and an easy finish (but I just need to start finishing those I have completed).  They can be used as bowl fillers or just sit anywhere...table tops, bookcases.  Above is Ann's Sampler Pinkeeps, followed by Silent Night Pinkeep, Merry Christmas Pinkeep (I don't care that much for alphabets, but I will be doing this one) and Mary's Pinkeep.  All available now at Just Cross Stitch in Lederach.

Sue Hillis has taken our brown sleds  and created a more traditional ornament.  She's not only painted them, but as you can see, she's padded the design, now stitched on fabric as opposed to perforated paper, and added trims, ribbons, bows and buttons.  Christmas Ride and Christmas Sweets are available with 2 pages of very detailed instructions on painting and templates for cutting and trimming the sleds.

CLEANING HOUSE

Every year I start looking around the shop and see charts that have been here awhile and have only one copy left.  This year, I've decided to advertise those charts and offer them at a discounted price.  So make sure you check when you see the Cleaning House title on a post.

Call the shop at 215.513.9373 to make the purchase at the discounted price.

Today, I have 2 charts to list....

The first is the Primitive Calandar 2 from Niky's Creations.  On the cover, you will see 12 small designs, one for each month.  The second page shows the  calendar page for March.  The design is given and the dates are listed so it can be used as a perpetual calendar.  Original price was $30.50...the discounted price is $18.00.

 The second chart is the English Rose Sampler by Jeannette Douglas Designs.  The leaflet comes with the thread pack consisting of Gloriana Silk threads, Needlepoint silks and Rainbow Gallery plus others.  The original price on this chart was $92.50 (leaflet $22.25 and $70.25 for floss pack)...the discounted price is $60.00.

Drawn Thread has release 3 fall charts. Welcome Autumn has a stitch count of 216x30  and is stitched on 30t Antique Lambswool linen.  She stitches the chart in Dinky Dyes, but the colors are true fall colors and I'm sure you have these colors in your  Gentle Arts, Weeks Dye Works or Classic Colorworks' stash.

Simply Scary is only 53x95 and stitched on 32ct Country French Golden Needle...a very pretty fabric.  Stitched again in Dinky Dyes, this time she does give a GA conversion.
