(ALL in case you don't want someone else's name hanging in your house!!!) Charming borders on this piece... each side is different! You could do a little Bargello in that bottom band, if you wanted to. Pretty floral motifs, a grand manor house, and rich over dyed colors throughout, Maple Syrup, Moss, Clay Pot, Sea Shelly, and Wild Berries (just some of them), this is a nice piece. Finishes approx 8 x 9-1/4 on 32ct, offered as the chart. | ||

Simple Joys and The MercantileLittle House Needleworks has two new designs. I love the flowing vine beneath the bird in Simple Joys, this piece has lovely symetry.

Mrs O'Leary's Dairy Farm and Virtue Sampler Two of Little House's newest releases, both finish approx 7 x 10 on their respective fabrics, and are stitched with both DMC and Crescent Colours flosses.

barn!!! Cute pieces, full of Little House's personality! | ||
 Robin Hood Hey, this is fun... and offers a neat decoration for the lover of history and old tales!

There is even a wise owl perched on the moon, outside her bedroom window! Absolutely charming!!! The Little House design, which is really the mattress coverlet, finishes approx 4 x 5 on 32ct Natural Belfast. (The matching miniature fob is stitched on 18ct Natural Linen.) You attach the coverlet to the top of the 'bed' and tuck your scissors underneath... just where Ms Sleeping Beauty Stitcher would go!!!

I think most anything will make them look darling -- just choose something YOU like to work on! If you choose a 14/28, you might want a fat half measure. I'm thinking this is a set that you'll want to MATCH... or else PLAN or two or three different fabrics... you sure don't want ONE month that is from a different dye lot of fabric!*** Available as the pairs -- you can pick them us as needed, or join our auto the get them all as they are released! (December, February, April, etc.) Give us your fabric preferences in the Comments Box of the order form!
