The Silver Needle
A very primitive look, kind of angular and funky... but I like it!!! Cross Stitch designs as well as some Punch Needle... Prairie Moon has collaborated with Pep'r Pot and we have those designs here as well! Everything is offered as a chart pack, always calling for hand-dyed linens and yummy overdyeds. Enjoy!


Spring Pin Cushions from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreSpring Pin Cushions
Prairie Moon has Springtime-inspired vintage-designed paper boxes that hide your small stitched pin cushion 'egg!' Just like the Snowman, Santa and Halloween Boxes we have, these are fun paper boxes, trimmed with bits of rik-rak and glitter, they measure approx 3-3/4 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches.

Painted in pastels of blue, lavender, or green, each box comes with the inside chart. Stitched on 32ct, you probably have bits of anything neutral in your stash that will be perfect! Boxes are asst designs.

Offered as the chart, I just love that rose in her mouth! Martini Witches is the other new Crypt Club scene... might remind you of going out for a drink with 'the gals!' (Then, again, maybe not...!)

Vintage Snowmen and Santa Boxes from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreVintage Snowmen and Santa Boxes!
OHHH, such an awesome collection of vintage snowmen and Santa designs grace the tops of these small boxes... simply stitch a bit to tuck inside, and you have a really cool gift or sit-about! Just like our set of Halloween and Patriotic boxes from last year... these are 3 x 3-ish paper boxes decorated with a vintage design... some have glitter, some ric-rak, some a bit of painting around the edges... they're all just small and really fun!

The Santas include a cut of red linen, the snowmen a cut of antique white... for your tiny bit of stitching that is hidden inside. Very classy decor, and a fun, easy and cool gift! This year, all the designs are neat -- so we're going to choose a box for you.

Offered as the kit of chart, linen, and all the fun schnigglets of stuff!!!


Cat On a Hot Orange H from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreCat On a Hot Orange H!
Prairie Moon has a fun long and skinny Halloween design that can be finished into bell pull or simply a long skinny thing! Cute ways to incorporate letters into a design, I'm thinking that spider is a little too realistic for Oklahoma and my closet!

Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 3 x 15. Charted for Belle Soie silks -- but DMC would work, too.


Merry Christmas  from Prairie Moon -- click to see more The Crypt Club from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreThe Crypt Club!
Prairie Moon has a new *place to gather and hang!* The Crypt Club is this season's hot-spot nightclub, where all the Halloween Mischief happens! Prairie Moon has a couple of designs -- The Crypt Club and Merry Christmas -- that are probably over-the-top for some of you... but just on the mark for others!

Offered in chart format... they are meant to be fun depictions of Halloween fun. Stitched with Belle Soie Silks on a dark 32ct, Crypt finishes approx 8 x 12, while Merry Christmas measures 7-1/2 x 8-1/2. Click the pic AT YOUR OWN RISK! Both Crypt Club and Merry Christmas are offered as charts!

BOO Scissor Fob from Prairie Moon -- click to see more Firecracker Scissor Fob from Prairie Moon -- click to see more USA Scissor Fobs from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreUSA, Firecracker and Pumpkin Scissor Fobs
Prairie Moon has 4 wild, new scissor fob kits that are Over-The-Top-Cute dressed with seasonal embellishments! For the sake of space on our Just Arrived Page, we're picturing the USA set here, and tucking the Halloween set onto PM's inside web pages. So... enjoy the little Star Fob and Firecracker Fob! Simple designs stitched with overdyed flosses, they finish a petite 2 x 2 on 32ct. Dressed with your twisted cord, what makes them so cute are all the extra embellishments Prairie Moon has added to the bottoms!

Scissors pictured are not included... but all the hanging trinkets ARE! You're going to get a painted tin star that measures 1-3/4 inches from tip to tip and a little stuffed stars and stripes bird that is 2-1/2 inches long, along with some glittery stars and fun beads.

On the First Day of Christmas...
Prairie Moon has been working on this set of stockings for some time... and we are now up to the 4th Day! #1 Is pictured here... it companions Day Two. Days 3 and 4 feature more of the primitive village scenery, but with different trees and houses. Each Day has it's featured gift... #1 has the Partridge in the Pear Tree. #2 Features the Two Calling Birds... you get the idea!

Kind of the same, kind of different from each other, offered in chart format... each is stitched on 28ct linen in overdyeds, and finishes approx 15 inches high and 9 inches wide at the toe. Too late for Santa's 2007 Visit... these are perfect to begin as a set for a family that is NOT into 'frilly'! (To make identification easier... just put your cursor over the individual stocking images to see their names.)

Little Miss Muffet from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger viewLittle Miss Muffet
Well, is this just not the silliest and cutest little thing?? Pumpkin-headed Ms Muffet is dealing with a TURBO spider and has the face and hair to prove it!

Offered as a chart, this is stitched on nice and mangy 30ct hand-dyed linen in Crescent Colours hand-dyed flosses. Finishing approx 6 x 7-1/2, she just a real cute Halloween-y flavored decoration! (Although, I guess, she'd be cute all year long!!!)


Freedom Train from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger viewFreedom Train
The latest of Prairie Moon's 'Train' designs... you'll find the tiny train chugging through the countryside... which is always bustling with it's seasons activities. Freedom Train is full of summertime patriotic motifs -- an eagle, the Statue of Liberty, flags, the Liberty Bell, firecrackers, and all the trees and farms that a little train would pass on it's journey.

Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 8 x 10 on 32ct, and is stitched with Gentle Art overdyeds. Cute!

There Was An Old Woman from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger view
There Was An Old Woman
Who lived in a shoe! (Don't you ever *really wonder* what all those ridiculous nursery rhymes we grew up with meant???) Well, this one IS one scary shoe! Stitched in Crescent Colours and Gentle Art overdyeds... wouldn't this be fun to hang in a shoe store???

Finishes approx 6-1/2 square... I'm not sure of a specific reason for stitching this, other than the fact that it does bring a smile!

Liberty from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger viewLiberty
While we're dealing with shoes, this is quite a unique piece, finished in such a different way! Finishing approx 8-1/2 inches square, I could see this as a unique cushion on your couch, or as a door ornament -- instead of a traditional wreath!

Predominant colors are Gentle Art's Cherry Bark, Black Crow and Flax. Charming!

The Queen of Hearts from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger viewThe Queen of Hearts
So colorful... it pulls me into the world of Alice in Wonderland!!! Lots of bold overdyeds in this one -- Cherry Bark, Rhubarb, Antique Rose, Mulberry, Raspberry Parfait, and Indian Summer -- just to mention the reds -- something about this one draws everyone to it!

The flowers along the top and sides are really stunning. Notice that the flowers below the Qs are tiny hearts! Offered as a chart, this finishes approx 6 x 7 and would make a superb family or game room decoration!

3rd Day of Christmas Stocking from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger view 2nd Day of Christmas Stocking from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger view 1st Day of Christmas Stocking from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger view 1st, 2nd and 3rd Day of Christmas Stockings
This is an awesome set of Spot Motif stocking designs -- very primitive in feel. #1 and #2 are my personal favorites... but you'll recognize the poem's components in each part... and Three French Hens do not need that cool tree that part one and two have!

Anyway, Prairie Moon's signature style of her little train chugging through the countryside scattered with charming details, these are simply a different Christmas Stocking style than most others on the market! Sophisticated and classy! Each is offered as a chart, and finishes approx 9 x 15 on 28ct, stitched in overdyeds.
Parts 1, 2 and 3 exist now. No release dates for the other 9.

Home of the Free from Prairie Moon - click to see a larger viewHome of the Free
Wow, this is kind of normal and straight for Prairie Moon!! Perfectly squared buildings -- an organized little town -- lovely, colonial motifs -- this belongs in a Family Room, or a neat office!

Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 8-1/2 x 10 on 32ct, and is charted for Needlepoint Inc silks. You might have to get a little creative with some overdyed color conversions if you are unfamiliar with those silks... but it looks like a fun endeavor!

Witch Boot? from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreWitch Boot?
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely Over-The-Top Funky and Halloween Cute! (There is a companion boot/stocking to this -- Mr BonesJangle -- pictured on the Prairie Moon page, so don't miss it!) Stitched on 30ct 18th Century Rook Hand-dyed linen by R & R (pricey, but really cool)... in Weeks overdyed flosses and a touches of steel gray and purple metallics, this HAS to be finished into the cool shape you see in the pic... it is just so fun and different!!!

Offered as the chart, it's presented actual size, so you have the perfect outline stencil/shape for your boot. Then... check out all the fun things going on in here! A haunted house with a spooky tree in the yard, the RIP, silly little bat and nasty-looking spider... its all to complement the 'lady of the house and boot'... the little witch!

The stitch count is 173 x 129, but the actual boot will measure approx 10 x 14. It's backed with Weeks Eggplant Wool, which we do carry, but you'll need lining fabric and buttons to completely finish this wonderful piece! If hand-dyed isn't in your stitching budget... we have lots of pretty linens that will work for this, too. I just love it!

Mr BonesJangle in Punch Needle from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreMr BonesJangle
The companion Boot to 'Witch Boot' check out the striped cat, and his wild jacket!!! Stitched on the same 30ct 18th Century Rook Hand-dyed linen, in bright, vibrant overdyeds of Fire, Marigold, Fiesta, Hot Rod and Squash, to name a few of the more obnoxious shades (!), this, too is presented in the full-sized chart, so you have that great outlined shape for finishing.

Mr BoneJangles is backed with Weeks Kohl Wool, and features lots of the same design elements as his girlfriend's piece -- the moon, stars, bat and spider... and the overall creativity of this wild set! Wouldn't these two look great hanging on a door at Halloween time? Offered as the chart, wool back offered separately.

Ghoul Train in Punch Needle from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreGhoul Train -- in Punch Needle
Prairie Moon has converted some of their newest and cutest designs into Punch Needle patterns! Ghoul Train is popular in Cross Stitch, and this version has even more impact and vibrant color! (They've done Angel Train, too!) Finishing approx 5-1/4 x 6-1/2, this is punched with a one-strand needle in Sampler Threads. Background is Black Crow, and Skeletons are Oatmeal, while everything else is punched in awesome colors like Fragrant Cloves, Gold Leaf, Bittersweet, Burnt Orange, Sugarplum, Spring Grass, and a bunch of others.

Everything really 'pops' on that black background... so you see all the delightfully scary little design elements. Offered as the line drawing you'll need to trace onto weaver's cloth, the instructions have a larger diagram sheet as well -- just like a paint-by-number -- for thread placement. We really suggest a sturdy Morgan Stand for this, or one of the K's Creations Punch Frames for working this design. It's quite large, and your hands will really welcome the stability of a good stand or working frame. Shown 'matted' atop Weeks Sweet Potato Wool. Extra Eccentric and Equally Exciting!!!

Angel Train in Punch Needle from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreAngel Train in Punch Needle!
Prairie Moon's Cross-Stitched Angel Train takes on a new personality when its punched in overdyeds!!! Measuring approx 5 x 6-1/2, just like Ghoul Train... you have a wonderful, rich Black Crow background interrupted by a medley of little angels, snowmen, stars and pine trees, houses and churches, and the namesake Angel Train. Raspberry Parfait and Straw Bonnet angels, Grape Leaf, Bayberry and Chamomile trees, and Brandy stars, this is just charming!

Again, we recommend a sturdy Morgan Hoop or Stand, or one of the K's Creations Round About Frames. Lots of punching in this... you'll welcome the heavy-duty hoop or stand. Angel Train is shown matted/mounted onto a piece of Weeks Juniper Herringbone Wool, and is offered as the line drawing that you will need to trace onto your base fabric.

Holiday Farm in Punch Needle from Prairie Moon -- click to see moreHoliday Farm
Here's a new Prairie Moon design -- just like the 'Train' designs that are composed of teeny-weeny motifs all jammed together in a herky-jerky-quirky fashion -- these always turn out cute! Holiday is in the title... but I'm not sure what holiday this is supposed to depict... so I've decided its an 'Everyday Holiday!' Maybe its Valentines Day because of the heart in the middle, but I see turkeys above that, a bird with a flag for his tail over by the right-hand edge, and a Christmas Tree down in the lower right corner.

Lots of luscious overdyes of Crimson, Holly, Juniper, Rum Raisin, Lancaster Red, Red Pear, Oak, Palomino, Chestnut and Dried Sage on a 28ct this will finish approx 8-1/2 x 7. Offered as the chart, these are fun to stitch, because you finish little bit and pieces all along.


Ghoul Train from Prairie Moon - click to see moreGhoul Train
This is one of three seasonal designs by Prairie Moon that is just the most fun collection of miniature mischief you'll ever stitch! Joining Spring Trainin' and Angel Train... these are so cute! Offered as charts, each follows the same basic design format. The train is the common motif in there... look for it in the middle. Now... each is full of differences from the other. Stitched on 32ct, and finishing approx 8 x 10, you'll use lots of overdyed flosses -- lots on the borders, but bits in the center. Beautiful borders of motifs surrounded by modern black and white squares... this could go really antique and primitive -- or really funky-modern!

Ghoul features little skeletons, bats, spiders, ghosts, spooky houses, pumpkins and black cats... and those pairs of spooky eyes on the scary hands! Stitched with a collection of fun Sampler Threads... the model is just delightful -- if you're a Halloween buff! Stick on Just Nan's Ghoul Box charm! (It's a tiny coffin that really opens to reveal the mummy inside!!!) Make sure to see Angel Train and the Spring Train -- completely different subjects, but same scattered small motif format!

Spring Trainin' from Prairie Moon - click to see moreSpring Trainin'
Lots of fun things happening in here... that yummy border, full of strong geometrics to balance the confusion going on inside the piece, is stuffed with quilt squares -- some with stars inside. Look for the Spring Train. Then, see all the fun things -- kites flying, birds and buzzing bees, bunnies and bugs, butterflies and flowers... the hands that were scary in Ghoul Train are now the Hearts in Hands, girls jumping rope, birdhouses, anchors and beeskeps... this is stitched in 26 different colors of overdyeds!!!

Stitched on 32ct, this will finish approx 8 x 10. Very fun to keep looking at -- so many hidden things to find... add something special to your family and watch them try to find them!

Angel Train from Prairie Moon - click to see moreAngel Train
This one is Christmas and Winter!!! Lots of golds and cinnamon overdyeds in this one... you get tiny snowmen, angels, the hearts in hands again, jumping reindeer, an Old Worlde Santa down there towards the bottom... that little train again... and lots of cozy cottages nestles between the scattered pine trees! Again, finishing approx 8 x 10 on 32ct... this, too is offered as a chart.


Noah's Webster Two from Prairie Moon - click to see moreNoah's Webster Two
I'm not sure about the title on this one... not sure what it means, but the design is really neat and simplistic! Offered as the chart, this is stitched in only three colors -- black, Oatmeal and Cherry Bark overdyeds. Finishing approx 10 x 10 on 18ct... its plain, but somehow very striking!
