Magic Garden SamplerWow... if I could grow things that look this good... I'd plow up part of the parking lot out in front of the shop, and everyone would have to tip-toe through the turnips to reach the front door!

Full of little critters -- snails and worms -- and yummy-looking carrots and radishes -- everything is tucked into this neat garden bordered by the picket fence. Stitched with Gentle Art Sampler Threads, this has a stitch count of 133 x 132, so on 28ct, it finishes approx 9-1/2 inches square. Offered as a chart, just charming!

Libertyville from Raise the Roof and Crescent Colours
Raise the Roof has a new 4-part series named Libertyville... and 'Home From Sea' is the first part of the design!!! 'See our flag waving from high on the hill... another fine day in Libertyville.' The ship in the harbor, the charming downtown main street, the farm in the 'burbs', and finally the little sheep grazing on a grassy knoll of tiny Quaker motifs! Everything in here is really cute.
 With an overall stitch count of 71 x 275, it finishes approx 4-1/2 x 17 on 32ct linen. The charts are offered with Belle Soie Silks from Crescent Colours in rich shades of navys and browns... so far... and the Just Another Button Company button embellishments! Too Darn Cute!

Jenny Bean's Humble Servant Sampler'You will surely reap what ye sow.' Jenny Bean stitches this charming sampler... it's her third! With a stitch count of 180 x 180, yours will finish approx 9 x 9 on 40ct... or it could be 11 x 11 if you choose 32! Pick what makes you happy! Worked in Gentle Art overdyed Sampler Threads, the colors are very pretty pinks, lavenders, greens, some brown, and a *touch* of a mustard color. A spot-motif-type of arrangement, all the sections feature pretty designs -- the flower urn in the upper left corner is pretty all by itself, the house is cool, and so is the willow tree! Teresa tells you to embellish your sampler however you wish. There are some tiny stitched keys on here -- charms would be fun, and the flower urn up there might like a few buttons from your antique button stash! Just some ideas. Offered as the single chart, the Olde Colonial Dowry Boxes are on order! (expected $$$ approx $160-$170)

Jane Philpott 1837: An Adam & Eve SamplerTeresa's been sampler shopping... and found a pair of almost identical samplers stitched by two sisters in 1837. She bought the pair, and has been re-charting! Jane's is presented this year... Sarah's maybe next year! Stitched in Ramsgate, England, Jane was most likely a persnickety and tidy girl. Teresa's bits of musing that are included with the chart talk about Jane's stitching, her colors, and her snake -- that was evidentally not cross-stitched at all, but embroidered. Pretty flowers, beautifully shaped and detailed trees there is a lot going on in here... but it quite an endearing piece! Charted for either silks for DMC, it's quite large, and measures approx 19-1/2 x 27 on 28ct... to 14 x 19 on 40! Very well done... we have the model in the shop, and it's stunning!
|
Ole Pin CushionThis is a charming little thing... a bit of easy stitching on 32ct Flax Linen with DMCs for overdyeds... this is finished in a mangy, bent up, USED tin Mason jar lid! Offered as the card chart... I bought Teresa's mangy jar lids to go with them... in case you've been an over-achiever and cleaned out your basement!!! Just fun!
|
Love The SpringA Shakespearean quote... Willy Wonka sings this in his inventing room, too! A charming little piece, stitched in silks or DMCs of pretty plums and mauves, browns and a bit of aqua. Our Magic By Mona -- Mona -- finished the cover model. T eresa had some old lace they added to the pillow finishing -- what a neat way to use just a stray bit of something special to you! Design finishes approx 6 x 10-1/2 on 32ct... anything creamy or rosey in color or count will be pretty for this. Offered as the chart.
|
Antique Locks and KeysThis is kind of a neat design... it needs to be stitched and tucked in the middle of a collection of samplers or pin cushions. It'd be pretty in a curio cabinet! The models are stitched in Plush Plum Belle Soie Silk -- but you can choose any color you wish. The fabric is 36ct Fresco... but you can change that, too! Again, Teresa added a bit of antique lace along the bottom area. We ordered this as both the single chart, and kitted with the 36ct fresco hand-dyed and the Plum silk. Finishes approx 4-1/2 x 5.

Celebrating UFOs! License and Pin Set!One of my favorite finds at Market came from Teresa and Sue at Raise The Roof. UFO is the affectionate name assigned to Un-Finished-Objects. You know... the stuff you started years ago, but just can't stand to look at anymore... you'll never finish them. This Licence and Pin Set can *set you FREE!* Somehow, Teresa's creative brain decided that it was OK to CUT UP some horrid thing you've started... and make a totally *dorky* pin cushion out of it... decorating it with this official UFO medallion and space-ship pin!!!!! Oh my gosh... this is the funniest thing! Don't let this ugly model picture deter you! Your Official UFO License includes a coupon giving you permission to destroy what was, once, a piece of needleart! Her story that comes with it is delightful... and I cannot tell it here! YOUR pincushion could never look like hers... because each UFO has it's *own putrid personality!*... but think of the stitch group gift possibilities here!!! Everyone could make one, and it could be the gift exchange! You could raid the bottom of your friend's stitching tote, secretly steal her *embarrassment,* and turn it into the most charming UFO Cushion... presenting it to her with honor! Teresa's imagination at work!!!!! Anyway, Raise The Roof's UFO License comes with a bit of History, finishing suggestions, Teresa's *unfortunate* example -- pictured in living color, and the exclusive UFO label and space-ship pin. YOU supply the awful needlework!!! We have extra Space Ship pins available, in case you have more than one *Special Needs* piece!!!

Just so cute, Raise The Roof introduces yet another Clothesline selection! Check out the Scrub-a-Dub-Dub -- in case you deal with the medical field. This whole series is just too much fun. Offered as the chart, there is a button embellishment set available as well.

 Jenny Bean's Christmas SamplerA sweet little Christmas sampler, the verse reads; 'and had I but one penny, thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread.' Shakespeare's Peddler's imaginary Jenny Bean has stitched this as a Christmas Wish for her friend! The pine trees and boughs are a pretty touch. Stitched with Sampler Threads overdyeds, this finishes approx 7 x 9 on 32ct. Offered as the chart.

Jenny Bean's Halloween Sampler from Shakespeare's Peddler'When I am dead and in my grave, and all my bones are rottin', If this you see - Pray - think of me, Or I will be forgotten.' Teresa of Shakespeare's Peddler has created little miss Jenny Bean... and this is Jenny's first sampler! Ms Bean's charming (really!) 160 x 160 stitch count sampler is worked with a *special limited collection* (so get them now!) of Gentle Art's Sampler Threads -- Parched Bones, Nightmare, Coffin Lid, Sarcophagus, Dried Blood, Burial Ground, Witch's Wart, Zombie Flesh and Swamp Water!!! Can you believe those names??? Anyway, the piece is surrounded by a leafy border, pumpkins in the corners, a cozy log cabin of lots of browns, the alphabet that features different fonts for every letter (I love that!), the tiny family graveyard below the willow tree, and the little fish skeleton and rat down in the bottom blocks! Predominent colors of browns, mossy greens, blued blacks and brick, it is simply the cutest little piece!!! One of the gals in the shop doesn't **do rotting bones and such**, so she's simply going to leave off the verse! Offered as a chart, there is a matching pin cushion, too!
|
 Jenny Bean's Pin Tuffet from Shakespeare's PeddlerOh, this is so cute!! It matches the main JB Halloween Sampler... but has only happy motifs on it! (No skulls or 'rottin' bones!!!) A butterfly and floral urn, it's stitched on 40ct, but I believe 32 will still fit the Sudberry House Shaker Pin Cushion. Shakespeare's Peddler has commissioned JABCO to make a special set of pins for this piece, so we're offering them together as a set! Black, caramel and butterscotch flowers, they're cute perched in the cushion!
|
 Monthly Mockeries This is a fun set of monthly designs that should remind you of Lizzie Kate's Double Flips -- the cute Living With Charm series. Linda of Lizzie Kate and Teresa & Sue of Raise the Roof are friends. RTR wanted to have fun with LK's premise... so Linda gave 'her sight-unseen and trusted 'Blessing' to RTR for a little clean, harmless fun!
There are 4 charts in this series... 3 designs in each... all finish approx 23 x 60 stitches -- choose whatever fabric you like best! You probably know *someone* who needs just one or two of these for their desk at work... or as a bedroom doorknob hanger! (Actually 'Take a Hike' and 'Go Fly a Kite' are truly fun for kite fliers and hikers! and 'No Way, Jose' might be a fun diet reminder on the refrigerator door!!!) Strictly for fun... each little Mockerie (unofficial name *really wanted to be* Flip-Offs but RTR didn't want ANYONE upset over that one!) features a clay button embellishment, too. Buy them individually, or get the whole set!

Words to Live By from Raise the RoofBy Raise the Roof, in Designer Sue's own words... 'Holy Moses! It's the Ten Commandments in Rhyme! This is an AWESOME piece!!! It's a re-write of the Ten Commandments, with all sorts of fun little motifs and clay buttons scattered about! We spent some time speculating what all the small pics meant -- it was kind of fun to guess. Stitched in either DMC, Weeks flosses or Belle Soie hand-dyed silks this finishes approx 15-1/2 x 20 on 32ct! The colors in the linen in the pic actually make this 'busier' than it really is... actually quite a clear, easy chart to work! Offered as a leaflet.
|
 Sarah Woodham 1770 from Shakespeare's PeddlerThis is Teresa's reproduction of a 1770's sampler she fell in love with in an antique shop and purchased! Beautifully charted, she has an entire page of thoughts about the original stitcher, her talents, and ideas about missing motifs and color choices. The verse is a prayer by Sarah that gives thanks for her good life, and a plea to make her a better person towards others. The words are all stitched over one thread, while the rest of the piece is over two -- Teresa says this has over 25,000 stitches in it! Charted for DMC, Sampler Threads or silks, this finishes approx 12 x 14-1/2 on 40ct! Simply lovely, this piece has such balance, pretty and graceful motifs, awesome color, and just general CHARM! One of Teresa's favorite parts are the two girls near the bottom that are standing there with their hands on their hips! Definitely a happy sampler! Offered as a chart.
|
 Antique Spring Sampler -- Ann Hobbs 1834 from Shakespeare's PeddlerThis is another sampler residing in Teresa's *Private Collection* (how neat is that!) that came from England. Originally stitched in 1834, the color palette of this features soft shades of beige, blue, gold, rose and coral -- so lovely! Teresa includes a page of history about Ann, where she came from, and speculation about ink spills on her original piece. That sort of thing is so much fun to read about! The verse reminds one to not put off things that are worthwhile... not 'To Put Religion By'...Very, very pretty! (She loaned us her stitched piece for a few weeks!)
|

 Count Your Blessings from Shakespeare's PeddlerA subtle, simple reminder of life. Stitch count of 72 x 75, choose a favorite fabric and get busy!

Scrub-a-Dub-DubBy Sue of Raise the Roof... her 'real daytime job' is in the medical field, so she has dedicated this pattern to anyone who knows what a 'Code Brown' is!!! The next in Raise the Roof's series of clotheslines... Sue described the seemingly-ever-pulled-out cord on the IV machines... and the nurse call-button, which is *never* where it needs to be... I love the skull button on the X-Ray, and there's even a little bed pan button from Just Another Button Company on there! Offered as a leaflet with buttons separately, this finishes approx 7 x 15 on a 14/28ct. Stitched with DMCs and Crescent overdyeds, Sue wanted this to be perfect for ANYONE in the medical field, whether they were the surgeon, the nurse or the one who has to take care of that CODE! Real Cute!
|
A Weary World Rejoices from Shakespeare's PeddlerTeresa of Raise the Roof must have a split personality!!!!! She's designed this lovely little sampler -- under her other name of Shakespeare's Peddler that features words from 'O Holy Night.' 'The thrill of hope, A weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn.' Teresa has a couple of paragraphs inside the pattern that tell of her inspiration for this piece... and the meanings of the symbols she has included in her original design. Just makes my heart warm all over!!! Of special note are the colors called for in this sampler. Gentle Art dyed a special set of Winter Threads last year... and Teresa used that Limited Edition set! Not to worry, though! She has also converted those colors into those in the regular line in case you didn't get it. But if you were lucky enough to collect that little bag of threads this year -- HERE is something awesome to stitch with them!!! A petite sampler, this finishes approx 8 x 12 on 32ct... but you can choose any count you wish. Offered as the chart.

Just the best, we brainstormed in the shop about all the perfect places this needs to hang! Mom's tongue-in-cheek reminder to teenagers... what about hanging this in an attorney's office, or the court-clerk's office? Actually, all four businesses featured ARE respected professions... so if you own a skin-care facility... this might be darling in your reception
area! Offered in a set of 4 leaflets, the Border, Shiner's Tattoo, Miss Vonnie's Bikini Waxing, and Bubba's Bail Bonds and Repo Service... the entire piece finishes approx 9 x 20, and is stitched with overdyed flosses.

Finishing approx 3 x 4-ish, Theresa's finishing treatment is darling! She's stretched him over a board -- foam core would be good -- and then tucked various glass beads onto pins, dabbed a bit of glue on pin end, and stuck them into the sides of the board. Really, really cute, what a great way to show off cool beads from your stash!

Halloween Silhouette
A quick 70 x 70 silhouette piece, this is stitched on 32ct Kermit Green hand-dyed linen from Picture This Plus, using Weeks Mascara hand-dyed floss.

Now, see the pretty house on the left (Yours...) then, see the dish on the roof, kite around the antanee, holiday lights and wreath still hanging, the missing shutter, the dead landscaping and last Halloween's pumpkin on the porch? Then, the open garage door, hoop, trash can, crack in the drive, oil stain on there, the dead grass with weeds and the little doggy tied up who's pooped actual JABCO clay buttons on YOUR lawn??? Inspired by the old samplers that speak of the virtue of loving thy neighbor... here's a new twist on that!

Stitched on 28ct, it finishes approx 6 x 8... have fun with this one! The silk ribbon card will do several mummies for you.  Your leaflet informs you, "This chart was approved by the American Monsters Association."

Peter's Cotton Knits
Our resident Easter Bunny has laundry hanging on the line, in anticipation of his 'big day!' Complete with the bunny hill house, overalls and tie, baskets and eggs... check out that carrot hanging on the line, too!!! Joining Witchy Washy and Santa Clothes... this is a charming scene that's offered in leaflet format, with clay button embellishments separately.
Just darling, we never thought of decorating the laundry room for the seasons before this series came out... but who says these need to stay in the laundry room at all!!! Stitched with 16 shades of Crescent Colours, DMC conversions are given... but they won't have half the charm the model shows! Stitched on 28ct Summer Sky Jobelan... it's an overdyed look that's colorfast. Lots of light blue linens will do... check your stash!

Snow Fence

Fall Wispy A trio of Harvest scenes... Mill Hill's Debbie Mumm licensed buttons are featured as the embellishments.

Fall Wispy finishes approx 5-1/2 x 11, and is offered in a leaflet, with buttons separately.

Santa Clothes Santa's clothesline of laundry is hanging out for the world to see!!! The companion to Witchy Washy, Santa's clothes feature another wild pair of underwear, and lots of cute detail! Stitched on 32ct Opalescent Belfast linen -- a new color -- this is worked in overdyeds, and features a set of Just Another Button Co clay buttons.
The fabric is cool... it's a natural linen color with opalescent thread highlights woven into it. Sounds weird, but very pretty! Santa's clothes that are 'freeze-dried!, measure approx 6 1/2 x 13, and are available as a leaflet pattern, with clay that is additional. Very charming... who says the laundry room can't be decorated for the holidays!!!??

Wouldn't this be cute in a laundry room??? The skirt and bra really DO remind me of my 16-yr-old daughter's clothes, and I think this would be cute in her bathroom, too!!! Available as the leaflet with fabric and clay available separately, it's stitched in both Weeks and Sampler Threads. Really, Really cute!!!
