Silver Needle Bent Creek Counted Cross Stitch Needlework Patterns, Leaflets, Materials and supplies from The Silver Needle, Tulsa

A big statement concerning LUCK... this baby finishes a whopping 11 x 13 on 18ct over two... but can always be stitched into a more petite size on smaller fabric! Stitched with size 5 Perle Cottons, this works up super-quickly, and is really fun because you cover a lot of fabric very quickly!

The Shamrock is stitched with Weeks hand-dyed perle -- the color is Collards -- and the chart includes 3 'gold coin' button embellishments.

Lots of clovers scattered about -- but only ONE with 4 leaves! I see two leprechauns in here... and lots of gold coins! Offered as the chart, this finishes long and skinny just like the rest of the rows.

Clay button embellishment package is coming... really dresses these up with cute bits of color!

Another of BC's famous Row designs, this one is full of rabbits and chirpy little chicks. Baskets and flowers scattered throughout, this is offered as the chart, and stitched on 32ct, it finishes approx 2 x 17.

There is an embellishment packet coming of clay buttons to dress this up a bit... will have more info about that in a week or so! we'll keep you posted!

A simple farm scene stitched in either DMC or overdyeds... I THINK those are quilts over there on the right... but it needs a clothesline to anchor them! No special stitches... just a pretty scene.

Offered as the chart, this finishes approx 5 x 14-1/2.

It's been quite a while since we've seen a lonnnnnnnng row of the alphabet from the gals at Bent Creek... so this was a nice surprise when we opened our fresh shipment! Offered as the chart, stitch ROWmance in either DMC or overdyeds, it'll finish quickly into a 2 x 17 confection!

We always had a cute pack of button embellishments available for these rows... I haven't heard any word about that yet... I'm looking into it! Anyway, ROWmance actually features a *tiny verse*... there is a little bee in there, and he's flying around the heart that says B mine! Cute!

The newest gigantic Bent Creek creation... these are stitched on 18ct linen with Weeks Hand-dyed #5 Perle cottons, along with some solid DMCs. Even though this Valentine is *uber*... it was gentle in delivery... the little mailbox is intact!

Finishes approx 13-1/2 x 11.

A small, 3 x 3 design, just like 'Cozy', this would be cute finished into a stand-up cube... just to perch someplace that will catch your eye!

Offered as a chart.

Just a little cottage nestled beneath the heavy and busy winter sky!

Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 3 x 3.

Bent Creek has started a new Branch set of designs... all the fun things you'll find tucked on the branches of a Christmas Tree! I guess it's an outside tree... because there is a squirrel on here. (I wouldn't want that in my house, but we did have a mouse that came out of the tree one year, and the dogs LOVED it!)

Anyway, this promises to be another cute set of small designs -- this first installment includes the border and embellishment packet. Finishing approx 5 x 10 on 32ct, uses overdyeds from your stash. Our Auto-ship has now concluded. Fabric is not included... as you have so many choices! Pick a favorite!

This is an AWESOME design!!! Offered as the chart, you're supposed to stitch it on something big -- like 18ct linen over two, or 10ct Tula.. even 7ct Klostern would be neat. Worked with mostly Weeks Dye Works #5 perle cottons, this finishes approx 11 x 12. I love the elves stacked up trying to get the star on the tree top... I think it's bending over for them! (Wish my tree would do that for me!)

Just a real different, eye-catching piece, this would be great finished as a gigantic pillow for the couch, or something to perch under the empty tree, till Santa comes!

One FAT CAT! He just kept eating after Thanksgiving... and never stopped!

Offered as a small chart, he's wearing a wreath that features some antiqued crimson Mill Hill beads. Finishes 3 x 3.

Little angels are scattered throughout the alphabet in this simple piece. The stitch count is only 45 x 45... so choose something fun to make this the size you want!

Overdyeds or DMCs... very quick!

Is this guy cute, or what? He BEGS to be stitched on 10ct with specialty threads (Very Velvets and Fyrewerks)... but right now, he's pretty awesome on 18ct linen with overdyed flosses or size 5 perle cottons, (your choice!) Stitch count of 98 x 120, his colors are great, and because of all the solid areas... he'll be a breeze to stitch!

Offered as a leaflet... think about lots of pumpkin, squash, eggplant, and corn buttons to garnish down by his feet!!! REAL CUTE! Offered as the leaflet (Bent Creek's other 'Uber Designs' are pretty cute, as well!)

Gosh, this is CUTE! A crooked little cabin, with a funky jack-o-lantern on the lawn, a spindly ghost coming from the attic, and a scraggly landscape... something about this 'unfortunate abode' is so inviting!!! (Possibly an episode of Curb Appeal from HGTV could inspire you... aka more button embellishments and a touch of metallic... anything would be fun!)

Actually, I think this will be darling no matter how you stitch it!!! Offered as the small chart, it finishes approx 3 x 5 on 32ct. Overdyeds from your stash are used, along with two clay bat buttons.

A new dinky design -- part of The Littles series -- this tiny guy is only 24 x 24 stitches.

Put him over one on 25ct Lugana -- which is not hard to work on at all -- and you get something that's only an INCH in size! He has 4 other companion designs!

Skinny barn, sparse trees, and fat pumpkins...

Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 4 x 7 on 32ct.

Bent Creek has introduced a new set of Snapper Designs. This one, entitled 'The Branch' is presented in 5 total parts -- this main border design, with space inside for 4 more 3 x 3-ish designs. 'We can learn a lot from trees... they are always grounded and always reaching heavenward.'

Offered in a set of 5 small charts... the owl, tree, border and button embellishments come in the first chart, then the Bees, Squirrel, Kitty and now Bird House, each come as separate small charts with a snap embellishment. This has been a real popular piece; check your stash to make sure you haven't missed any of the parts!

Bent Creek's 7th Annual Stocking design... 12 Days is a medley of motifs from the famous poem. I had to look a little for the five golden rings!!!

Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 11 x 16 on the 18ct Natural -- just like all the rest. Embellishments included with our chart include 5 red and golden buttons.

What a cute, huge, swirly pumpkin! Offered as a simple chart, this is just a big Jack-o-Lantern stitched with overdyeds on 18ct linen over two. OK... look at it.

Start thinking. Clay JABCO cat instead of the stitched one? Metallics in those bitty dots in the background? What about metallics in the swirls? What about halloween-y clay buttons scattered between all those swirls? What about black Fyrewerks for the eyes... and cute embellishments in the vine below him??? THIS HAS POTENTIAL... because it's a great basic piece!

A fun under-the-ocean scene, everything's swimming under here! A mermaid, Sea Horse, jelly fish, bitty fishies -- but the sand dollar, crab and anchor are there to stay!

Cute for a bathroom or beach house, offered as a chart, it finishes approx 4 x 7 on 32ct.

A generous 11 x 13-1/2 inch piece, you get to stitch this one on 18ct linen over two threads and use #5 Perle Cottons in Weeks and DMC.

Regular crosses, the flag stripes have a bit of design to them, that's kind of fun. This would be pretty made into a pillow for the couch, or framed on the wall.

Offered as a chart.

Just the ABC's... home and love... you could personalize the bottom of this with a new family name! Stitched on 32ct, it finishes approx 5 x 7, and is offered as a chart.

The Brown Dog
Well... it's a brown dog! 55 x 58 Stitch count, overdyeds, it's offered as a small card. It's a cute brown dog... and he might be kind of fun being white with a couple of spots!!!

I had never heard the term *Uber* (pronounced U BER) till this pattern came... and received a short education into current slang terms in the English language. Uber -- these days -- means really, really big. (as in Super-Duper!) Well, this egg *does* deliver that persona! I don't know if you can see the little chick standing on the top of the egg... but he is PRECIOUS! Then, you stitch your egg with different bands of patterns, and embellish one of the rows close to the bottom with a set of 7 pastel buttons.

Uber Egg finishes approx 11 x 13 on the suggested 18ct linen... using #5 perle cottons! If you choose smaller fabric, such as 32ct, it would finish approx 6 x 7-1/2 in size. Offered as the single chart with buttons, fabric is up to you!

This is a cool concept... it's a tree that features a bunch of different areas -- you can choose from the 100 different bitty charted motifs -- to personalize YOUR tree! Check out the family pets at the bottom, just change colors if need be! Stitch this as a family tree, or choose just one person... the options are almost endless!

Choose your favorite season for the little birdhouse, change the number of hearts to reflect the number of children you have(?)... just whatever. This is really, really cute! Stitch count is 75 x 158, so on 28ct, it'll finish approx 5 x 11. Stitched with both DMC and overdyeds. Chart includes all the bitty motifs and three green button embellishments for the tree.

A quick thing stitched on 14ct perforated paper... the chart includes the two shiny pins that attach to your needlework.

No finishing in this series... you just clip it to a 5 x 8 clipboard!!! Offered as the chart with paper and pins.

Well... for some of you... this took place months ago, and you're still buried in it! In Oklahoma, where we are, snow is a once-a-season treat... hard for a Wisconsin girl to give up!

Bent Creek celebrates the snows of the season with a little snowman taking a sled-ride down a steep, snowy hill! (kind of like a little luge track!!!) Something fun to finish into a banner-style wall hanging, it'd be cute to begin hanging right after Halloween -- in anticipation of that first snow!

Offered as a leaflet, it measures approx 4 x 7 on 32ct, and is stitched with overdyeds and solids. Think about adding some metallic to the snow or trees! Don't miss the other new leaflet - the last Snapperbet - and the new Frowzen Men Kit, too.

OK... here's the next new set of Snapper designs! This one's pretty cool, different from the rest, and is scheduled to run this June till the end of 2008. A 5-part set of designs... part one is already HERE! It's a trifold leaflet thingy, that features a charted and embellished border (brown buttons and black snaps) that will surround a scattering of tiny motifs and letters of the alphabet! A, B, J and R are featured in this first piece -- you can see them in the pic above.

Due are 4 more CHARTS... (with a few snap embellishments) -- 1 chart each month -- for the next 6 months. (The first one is the main border; rest of charts don't cost as much... we expect $6.50.) Mike stressed to me that the entire piece IS designed... so they *think* they really can adhere to this 'rigorous' release schedule!!! The piece is stitched on the awesome 30ct Straw hand-dyed linen by Weeks Dye Works, and uses 13 different Weeks, Gentle Art and Crescent Colours overdyed flosses. The border embellishment pack COMES with the first design, and each chart has a few more snaps included inside... so we are pretty excited about this one!!!

Finished size is a huge 29 x 7-1/2... so you'll see this baby on the wall! If your 'couch potatoes' are gentle... this would look lovely as a bolster pillow, too. Auto starts NOW! (If you aren't a linen stitcher... 14ct aida will work well for this, too, and actually, 10ct Tula would make this 11 x 43!!!)

'The patter of little feet, a voice so soft and sweet, Sweet Child of Mine' is the verse on this cute birth record! Bent Creek has a new *row* pattern that can actually be worked in any colors you wish, and personalized with that Sweet Child's name and birth date. Offered as a leaflet, the finished piece measures approx 3-1/6 x 16 on 32ct.

Normally, the Row Series is garnished with lots of fun clay buttons from Just Another Button Company... but this one doesn't have any...yet! If we're talking about a girl... we have precious hearts, flowers and 'girly stuff' that would be cute... and if you want something with dogs and worms on it... we have that too! I think this is a PERFECT row to get creative with your featured baby's future traits! Remember that fabrics can change too, so think about room colors. Real Cute!

Bent Creek presents a nifty 'Row' through the year of seasons! Offered as a leaflet -- just like all the rest of the 'row patterns' -- this one finishes approx 2-1/2 x 23 on 32ct Natural Linen, and is stitched in a combination of Weeks and Gentle Art overdyeds. I especially like all the details in this one! Snowflakes begin the year -- flowers appear in the Spring -- waves surround the lighthouse -- and falling leaves blow Autumn off the right-hand edge!

I like the boxes around the motifs, I like all the color, I like all the activity... I think this is one of my favorites! Bent Creek also calls for clay buttons on here... a little redbird in the winter, a couple of stars and hearts for the spring and summer and delicate little falling leaves for the fall. It's a 'gotta-stitch!'

The companion to Love You Mom... we missed Father's Day with this one, but you love Dad anyway... no matter the day!

Offered as a leaflet, it finishes approx 5-1/2 inches square on 32ct Summer Khaki linen. Six different overdyed colors, nothing frilly or fussy... just something to stitch for 'the main man!!!'

Just a bit late for Mother's Day this year... it's OK... because you need no special holiday to tell Mom that you love her! Bent Creek's newest leaflet, this is stitched on 32ct Summer Khaki Linen in Weeks and Gentle Art's overdyeds of Cocoa, Whitewash, Harvest Basket, Antique Rose and Dried Thyme.

Finishing approx 5-1/2 x 5-1/2, it features three tiny coffee-dyed heart buttons as embellishments. Soft, antiqued creams, green and rose... whatever name is special for your mother... this tells her you love her with a splash of elegance and soft color. Offered as the leaflet with linen and buttons separately.

'Autumn is a second Spring, when every leaf is a flower.' Bent Creek's final celebration of the Four Seasons -- in Snapper Card Designs! Presented in 4 small individual designs, Harvest Time is the first, with the barnyard and scarecrow outside. Autumn Walk is the second... the trees wander and follow the hikers a bit. Pumpkin Hunt and Turkey Farm finished it up!!!

Each square design is a small 'Snapper' card, that includes a snap as its embellishment. Tying all these small squares together is the complimentary border chart and embellishment package... just like we have been treated to for Winter, Spring and Summer Snapperlands!!!
A really cool series... we just finished an auto-ship for the rest of the cards in this set.

You'll recall Snapperville... the set of 6 houses and businesses... a little town. Then, we were treated to Spring, Summer and Winter Snapperlands -- each of these containing 4 card designs, the border chart and embellishment packs. Quite a collection... each of the seasons or little town are charming, and definitely customer favorites!!!

Bent Creek's newest Christmas Stocking designs... these two bring the set to 6 in all! (Just scroll down this page to see the rest of them... they're all still available!) Jane (Christmas Carols) features a family of caroling snow people beneath the lamp post. Zachary's stocking (Christmas Eve) features Rudolph, himself, pulling Santa's sleigh!!!

Offered as leaflets, each stocking is stitched on 18ct Natural Linen using 4 ply of overdyed Weeks and Gentle Art flosses. Complete alphabets are provided for personalization... so you have no excuse to have these done by Christmas! A very nice set... they aren't 'cutesy, juvenile, or over-the-top involved'... just really nice family stockings! Each finishes approx 11 x 16 -- perfect for lots of loot!!!

The last in the Summer Snapperland set is finally here! Sorry we don't have a nicer image of the entire thing, but we'll get one up as soon as we finish our own model. The first design is darling... it's a tiny beach house, complete with a whale weathervane and little red crab on the sandy beach!

Offered as the small individual card, there are snap embellishments included for the each design. As with Spring and Winter Snapperland, Bent Creek has designed a really neat border chart, so that you can stitch all four designs in this mini-set as one bigger design. That border design reads, 'Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind you.' Along with the sunshine and shells, there are seahorses in the border design as well, and the special embellishment package contains more snaps, clay sand dollars and a sea scallop. (We'll have a nicer image up of the whole thing as soon as our own model is finished.)

Stitched on 32ct Rue Green Belfast Linen... each design finishes approx 3 x 3. Stitched together with the freebie border, the entire piece finishes approx 5 x 15. SOOO cute!

We will finish the year with Autumn Snapperland... a 4-part set that includes its own border chart and embellishments. You can still get all the preceding sets, as well!

Such a delightfully 'crabby' little creation from Charland Designs exclusively for Bent Creek... this cute crustacean decorates Bent Creek's Fish Shoppe contribution to the Town Square!

Measuring about one half inch in size, there are lovely details on this solid sterling piece. Use it on the Fish Shoppe section of Town Square... OR your Bent Creek Summer Snapperland design!

Well, this is for those of us who never seem to get all our seasonal decorations taken down in a timely fashion during the year!!! Check it out -- Winter is in the yard, Spring is spilling from the windowbox, Summer is sunshine and the flag, and Autumn is blustering away on the roof! How fun to stitch and make into a banner for the front door!!! Offered by Bent Creek in a leaflet, this finishes approx 4-1/2 x 7-1/2 on 32ct Summer Khaki Linen, in both Gentle Art and Weeks Overdyed flosses. Darling, darling... add some clay buttons from your stash if you want!

Here's a fun little chubby guy that finishes really dinky! (Hence, the 'littles' in the title!) Offered as a small card, if you stitch this guy over one thread on 28ct... he's LESS than an inch in size! (You could make a teeny scissor fob.) Over two on 28, he measures 1-1/2 inches square.

***By the way, Nan's new Whimzi frames are perfect for this size design... those openings are 2-inches... and a really quick finishing option to last minute ornaments. The card comes with the small brass star embellishment, and the design uses just bits of overdyeds from your stash. Cute!

The Chalet is first in Bent Creek's set of 2006 Snappers entitled 'Walking in a Winter Snapperland'... we at the Silver Needle are affectionately (and thus shortening the name) calling this new set "Chillville!" A new set of 4 small card Snapper patterns, The Chalet is the first of the designs. Charming and cozy stitched just by itself... Chalet is the first panel of the main design that's tied together with a freebie border chart supplied to us by Bent Creek. The border is similar to Snapperville, and says 'One kind word can warm the three winter months...'

The embellishment pack contains the extra snaps, snowflake buttons and a white winter bird. Stitched individually, each card's design will measure approx 3 x 3. Stitched with the surrounding border, the entire piece will measure approx 5 x 17.

The Winter Chillville fabric cut is actually a 1/6 yd piece of linen measuring 12 x 27, slightly larger than 3 inches of allowance of each side... but economical to cut!

A tiny design offered in card format... this little guy finishes a mighty 1-1/2 inches square! The teeny-weeny frame pictured is available for him as well... so hang him by his companions... Black Kitty and Bunny!

This is the cutest one of these! Check out those little doodle-ladybugs on there! Finishing a whopping 2 x 19... this whole set has been fun, because it's perfect to hang on that skinny wall everybody has between two door frames! The other three Soapboxes are pictured on the back cover, so when you get this, check your stash, and make sure you have the other three! You could even get industrious, and stitch all four side by side on one chunk of fabric, add some clay buttons, and make quite an impressive piece! Summer Soapbox is presented as a leaflet.

Trick or Treat... Smell my Feet! Quite the welcoming greeting around Halloween Time! This is just the cutest, stitched in an array of Weeks overdyed flosses. This time around, the words are stitched in three different colors -- Bark, Swamp Water, and Onyx, so there's actually quite a bit of color in here!

The button embellishment pack is now ready, too. Available as the leaflet, this finishes approx 2 x 17-1/2 on 32ct Dirty Linen, with clay available separately.

Oh, this is a charming 'Row' pattern by Bent Creek that arrived in our Davenport Stitching Festival boxes! We didn't know it was coming, so it was a great surprise!

Offered as a leaflet, and stitched on 32ct Vintage linen, it finishes approx 2 x 17, and features shaded letters and 'fans' on the ends that remind me of those 4th of July banner decorations! Overdyed colors used include Lancaster Red, Harvest Basket, Deep Sea, Rum Raison and Whitewash... all rich, denim-y and faded 'olde glory' kind of colors! Cute!

Check out the clay package for this! Isn't the little Uncle Sam just the cutest?? Actually, he's a very miniature version of Frank from Mosey 'n Me!!! So much detail, he just 'makes' the clay pack!

Gosh, this is cute!!! The newest 'Row' pattern by BC... you might want to stitch this for a special teacher, but then again, you might have to stitch multiples!!! Worked on 32ct Summer Khaki in yummy overdyeds, there are lots of fun school-stuff things on here. Check out the "i before e" rule in there!!! The colors in this are soft and well-worn, like a 'well-loved!' textbook, the motifs are cute, and the whole thing is perfect for your favorite teacher!

Bent Creek's local shop -- Abecedarious, in Atlanta, always does fun 'extras' for these row designs full of Just Another Button Company pieces. With TWO A+'s... the frog, apple, and even the worm... this must be quite a special teacher! Check out the little stack of books, too! This clay pack is stuffed full of extra treats for BC's Row this time around! Cute! Offered as the leaflet with clay buttons and placement sheet separately.

The newest long 'row' chart has arrived... a quick stitch of Easter Eggs, with a simple verse. As always, there will be a cool clay button embellishment pack available this week, that will dress this up quite a bit, and add a bit of whimsey!

Offered as a leaflet, it finishes approx 2 x 17 on 32ct Lambswool Linen. The 11th of the Row designs... most of the others feature just the alphabet, but Valentine and Easter feature a little verse.

The third in this very tall and skinny set of seasonal designs... this is full of brighter colors and lots of little motifs... all stacked on top of each other. Check out the little crank coming out of the chick's egg near the top!

Measuring approx 2 x 20 on 32ct linen, this is one of those things you can tuck on that really skinny wall in the hallway, that's between bedroom doors! Offered as the leaflet, it uses lots of pretty overdyeds from your stash!

The latest alphabet row has arrived... only it's not just an alphabet. Initials carved lovingly on a tree are surrounded by hearts and the Classic Question! Measuring approx 2 x 17 on 32ct Vintage Linen in rich Maple Syrup and Lancaster Red overdyeds, the colors are very Bent Creek.

Once again, ABCedarious -- Bent Creek's local needlework shop in the Atlanta area has decorated this row with Just Another Button Company clay! We don't have a price on it yet, so it will show up in your shopping cart as a zero-cost item until we get them in. The placement sheet will come with the button purchase.
Valentine Row is available as a leaflet.

The second design (so I assume they'll finish out a year of seasons like this...) Soapbox Winter is an uplifting and contemporary sampling of winter motifs... all arranged on top of each other! Perfect to finish and hang on one of your impossibly skinny walls -- like the kind between two doors, or the end of a hallway, or beside a light switch -- the snowman is up on his soapbox promising winter cheer!!! Finishing approx 2 x 19-1/2 on 32ct Dirty Belfast Linen... this is offered as a leaflet. I love that little tree that looks like a log cabin quilt!!!

The third in this set of 'signs' designs, this is available as a single card chart. Finishing approx 3 x 5 on 32ct Lambswool, this series is just small and cute... easy to finish, fun to have.

Snowman and Holiday Home Stockings
These are two of seven new releases by Bent Creek! Snowman Stocking joins Holiday Home as Bent Creek's first two stocking patterns. Stitched on 18ct Natural linen in frosty shades of Oatmeal, Shaker White, Lavender Potpourri, Old Blue Paint, and woodsey tones of Chestnut and Bark along with a few other wintery overdyed flosses, the stockings finish approx 11 x 16-ish inches! Embellished with clay buttons, the leaflets contain an alphabet for personalization. The fabric cut we're offering is large enough for one stocking and enough extra to add a bit of length, if you wish, and you may want more than one skein of some of the threads! Cute and blustery...

Yet another charming long alphabet garnished with neighborly houses and trees, this is just as cute as all the seasonal Row designs! Finishing approx 17 x 2 on 32ct Summer Khaki Belfast Linen, stitched in both Weeks and Gentle Art Overdyeds, the colors are so rich and pretty.

Once again, ABCedarious -- Bent Creek's local needlework shop in the Atlanta area has decorated this row with Just Another Button Company clay! There is a log cabin button, a big man-in-the-moon, and lots of cream and gold stars. Placement sheet comes with the button purchase, Neighborhood Row is available as a leaflet!

Autumn Soapbox
What a cute collection of checkerboarded boxes, all stacked up, and filled with motifs of the season!!! Available as a leaflet, the overdyeds are great Fall colors, and although the pattern doesn't call for any embellishments... you could always get carried away and add some!!! Stitched on 32ct Dirty Belfast Linen, it measures approx 2 x 20 when it's finished!!!

Isn't this a delightful sampling of summer motifs? Stitched on 32ct Natural Linen in reds, navys, gray, sand and whitewashed overdyed floss colors... it features a teeny whale, an excited pelican, a 'crab with attitude,' rolling waves, and lots of sandy beach. What a fun summer decoration to stitch! Available as a single card leaflet.

OK... it's now a contest between cat and dog lovers... which design will sell better??? Just released by Bent Creek... Puppy Dog Row has arrived, along with another fabulous selection of seasonal clay button embellishments!

Joining Kitty Cat row... these doggies measure just 1-1/2 x 17-ish on 32ct Natural Belfast linen. Stitched with overdyeds, the design features shoes, bones, and a newspaper, all tucked between the little dogs of every color! The gals at Abecedarious in Atlanta have once again done a seasonal assortment of Just Another Button Company Clay Buttons -- taking the doggies all through the year -- that is stuffed full of color and charm!!! Definitely the most expensive part of the design... it's worth it, because so are your little 'puppy-babies!!!' (Note: Michael of Bent Creek has told me that Kitty Cat row has been the top selling leaflet in Bent Creek's history!!! I wonder if Puppies will top it???!)

OK... I'm a 'dog-person' but this is pretty cute, just the same!!! A long row of placid cats is tucked between the alphabet letters. Available as a leaflet, once again the gals from Abecedarious -- a shop in Atlanta -- have customized this design with a whole assortment of clay buttons to take your kitties through the seasons from A to Z!

Stitched with lots of golds, browns, grays -- the little mice! -- , and touches of greens and mulberry (the yarn balls), notice the 'Z' cat is sleeping! Tons of cute buttons from Just Another Button Company, we're offering the chart separately, and the buttons with placement chart, if you're interested. Stitched on 32ct, this finishes approx 1-1/2 x 17!!!

OK... a fun, primitive/contemporary look at Spring! Lots of color, that bunny-on-the-egg stack is fun... and so is the one row of space between the motifs. I think it adds a touch of *now* to the design! Marcia and Elizabeth from BC talk about how they're just simple gals... so you need to take note of the little butterfly in this... they don't *do* that! We tease them all the time about that lack of 'stuff' on their designs... Abecedarious (their local needlework shop in Atlanta) always saves them!!! So, of course, we have a fun pack of clay ready for this one...

There are several designs in this series... a whimsical animal jumping above the alphabet... and always, it's name is spelled out bigger in the alphabet! Cute and quick, especially if you have a 'cow kitchen!' Available as a single sheet pattern.

I love this! Stitch the alphabet, laced with Christmassy greenery, popcorn and even a fat little elf! The sixth in this set of designs, these have remained stitcher's favorites! Stitched on 32ct dirty linen, it finishes 2 x 17... long and skinny. Christmas Row, and all the rest are available as single charted leaflets.

The embellishments are just darling! The gals at Abecedarious in GA have done a great job choosing several new buttons this time around. There are four kernels of popcorn featured as well as two new Christmas Cookies! Lots of teeny holly leaves, pine cones and light bulbs... you'll love the set!

Another very long and thin alphabet by Bent Creek, Spooky Row is full of the cutest Halloween motifs! The cauldron at one end... and my absolute favorite -- that little buzzard/vulture guy down at the other -- this is stitched in black, browns, oranges and creme overdyeds.

Spooky Row by Bent Creek now has a package of embellishments! A darling set, it includes quite a few new clay pieces from Just Another Button Company. Notice the cute Jack-o-Lantern guy, and those new "Wild" pumpkins! Cute, each Row-Pack, dreamed up by the gals at Abecedarious in Atlanta, really adds a lot of charm to this series of Bent Creek Rows!
The entire series of "Row Designs" is so much fun to have! All our models are hanging together in the shop... and they look great!

Of course, the creative gals at Abecedarious -- a needlework shop in Atlanta -- have chosen fun clay embellishments for this. Just let us know if you want them, too!

The last in the seasonal row charts, this is darling! So long and skinny, stitch the alphabet in a row, and add all the fun summertime motifs! Approx 2 x 18"... it's stitched in a mixture of Weeks and Gentle art overdyed flosses -- sandy colors, and nautical reds and blues.

The companion to Winter and Autumn Rows, a whimsical alphabet trails across your fabric, with all sorts of seasonal what-nots scattered throughout! Finishing approx 2 x 17 on 32ct linen, this is a fun collection of seasonal patterns. The gals at Abecedarious -- a shop in Atlanta -- have outdone themselves again, and given us placements for tons of Just Another Button Company clay embellishments! You'll add pansies, bluebirds, ladybugs, doodlebugs, bees and even a caterpillar, along with lots of little flowers. Very colorful, and full of Spring!

***The embellishments for Winter Row are also delightful! Little evergreen trees, snowflakes, mittens and stocking caps, birds and pine cones... they're so much fun to stitch with, and add to your needlework!

This is Bent Creek's design... only decorated with a delightful set of clay buttons! Again we credit the artistic talents of the shop Abecedarious (pronounced: a b c darious!). Such a fun selection of pumpkins, acorns leaves and blackbirds... you'll need this! Really cool!

This is a winter scene of a skinny red house tucked into a swirly snow scene. Everything is stitched with overdyed flosses... and check out the cute little snowman and ice-skater! I think some snowflake charms would be awesome in that top band, too! (I'm betting this is going to be a set -- so watch for the other seasons to come!)

Seasons Greetings
This is a cute little design... in a small card format. Our model is stitched on 32ct light mocha linen, using the cinnamon, green and gold overdyed threads the design calls for. Then, add the clay embellishments that we've tucked on there... birds, holly leaves and ornaments... and it's transformed into a small masterpiece! The clay choices come from "Abecedarious:" a shop in Georgia -- a pretty creative bunch of gals! We have a placement drawing to include for you, so you'll know where to sew everything... it finishes approx 2 1/2 x 8." It looks just wonderful! Click the image a right to see our stitched model with the embellishments attached.

Here is the most wonderful design adaption, done from all four of the Bent Creek Seasonal arches patterns! The ladies from the shop Abecedarious in Georgia are the creative stitchers behind this! They've taken one arch to signify each month... stitched them in one long row, and added all these cute Just Another Button company embellishments! The stitched piece is just breathtaking! We have the leaflets if you need any or all of the four original designs, and the wonderful clay embellishment pack. There is also a button placement sheet that will come with your embellishments!

This is a beautiful long, skinny flag stitched entirely in overdyed flosses. On 28ct, it finishes approx 2 1/2 x 14... so it'd be a lot of fun to hang in a long skinny place!!! Notice how the word "glory" is alphabetical in the alphabet! This one would be neat stitched with bright metallics, too! Lots of possibilities!
