BLACKBIRD DESIGNS STITCH ALONG

Blackbird Designs is hosting a stitch along and this will be the finished design.  It's a sampler they purchased from England and they decided to reproduce it.  It is starting this weekend so if you are interested in participating in the group stitch, check out their blog at http://blackbird-designs.blogspot.com/

PATRIOTIC POPPIES & MAY EVENT

Coming soon from Brenda Gervais, With Thy Needle and Thread....aren't they so cute?  Of course, Patriotic Poppies' another patriotic one to go in my stash.  But I love Sweet Violet, she's so springy and my side yard is just full of violets this year.  Guess all that snow did some good and enabled the violets to get a good start by insulating them.  Reserve your copies.

Pro Cross Tin Ate  MUGS are all out again.  I ordered more yesterday and they should be shipping today and arrive next Wednesday.  Reserve our mug today.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS   SUNDAY MAY 18, 11-4...WE'RE HAVING A PINTEREST PARTY...lots of stitching and socializing.    Do  you follow Pinterest?  Come and share a free design you've found on pinterest or a unique finishing idea.  Bring a copy you can share.  We can make more copies here if needed.  If you don't follow Pinterest, come and enjoy a day of stitching.  And if you are interested, we can fill you in about Pinterest.  Snacks and water will be available.  If you found a great recipe on Pinterest, feel free to share it on paper and in person.  Cost is $10.00 per person.  Reserve your seat today as seating is limited.

FROSTY FOREST

More boxes today....Pro cross tin ate MUGS are back in stock.  I've set some aside for those of you who have ordered them and there are a few left. Let me know if you want one or just stop in for it.

Frosty Forest's Snowy Foxes has arrived as the next installation in the project from Country Cottage Needleworks.  Here's an up to date pic.  I have copies set aside for all who signed up for the piece and a few extra for those who may want to start it or just like this individual piece.  There are just 3 more pieces to go.  We also have the buttons available.

Were you driving yesterday in all that rain?  I left the shop about 4:45 pm and got detoured. Had to take route 113 home and soon as I turned on it from route 73, I got stopped in bumper to bumper traffic.  About 6:20 I crossed route 29 and the road was wide open (roughly 5 miles).  So it took me about 1 1/2 hrs to travel what should have taken me 15 minutes.  And boy, I don't remember seeing the Perkiomen's banks so flooded!  May it be a long time before we see so much rain, again.

ON PRUDENCE AND MORE....

Boxes greeted me everywhere today.  Fed Ex delivered charts and Weeks Dye Works, UPS delivered charts and Priority Mail delivered fabric.   I'm in heaven!  It's Christmas in May!  I just love boxes of goodies and I'm going to share some of them with you right now.

Blackbird Designs' Mother's Day and In Full Glory have arrived!  Can't wait to start In Full Glory...it's patriotic and I love patriotic just as much as I love Halloween :)

Did you stitch any of our sleds last Christmas?  Well there's another new pattern out...Touch of Turquoise and the designs resemble quilt patches.

 

 

Pineberry Lane has just brought us Elizabeth Pickford 1842, an antique reproduction sampler; Heartstring Samplery brings us Simple Living Sampler, with a cute verse; and Plum Street Samplers offers On Prudence with the best reason why we should keep our secrets to ourselves.

PRO-CROSS-TIN-ATE MUG

Here's the best stitching accessory ever......serve up your coffee, tea, or beverage of your choice in this 15oz ceramic mug and stitch the day or night away.  $12.00 each.  Because of the weight of the mug, shipping will be based on your postal zone if you need it shipped. 

LIZZIE KATE TINGLES

 

 

 

 

 

Aren't these pillows adorable?  I  just love them.  It's going to be hard to decide whether to do the series as individual pillows/ornaments or stitch them all as one large design.   Decisions, decisions, decisions.......

BLACKBIRD DESIGNS & LIZZIE KATE

They strike again with 2 new designs due out shortly.  The first is a Reward of Merit called In Full Glory and the second is the next Loose Feathers Design, Mother's Day.   I love stitching patriotic designs so this is a definite 'stitch' for me...a quick one:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lizzie Kate has a few new ones coming out in May.   A Little Beach is a new one for her 'Little' series and would make a cute gift for that friend at the shore who you visit.  Busy Bee is busy in the sense that there are 3 designs in the chart pack.  I have a 'thing' for bees, so this gets to go in my 'to stitch' pile.  And the last also makes the honor to go in my pile, after all, it's Halloween....Tingles.

Once again, her flip-it series is based on Halloween but it's a bit more vintage sampler looking than any of her others.  The flip-its will be coming out 2 designs to a flip-it.  They can be stitched individually or all together as shown.  The stitch count is 81x333 on 28ct milk chocolate. ..12x30 inches in size.  Also, while you are stitching the series, there will be a mystery to keep you guessing.
