By Jane Wooster Scott... a Springtime American Folk Art landscape scene... look closely, this is actually a wedding scene! Check out the hot air balloon, and the wedding party below!

Charted by Heaven and Earth, this measures a whopping 450 x 561 in stitch count -- not for the weak-of-stitcher - or a busy mother-of-the-bride!!!! A classic piece of American Folk Art!

Well here are Bonnie & Clyde, George & Martha, Fred & Wilma... or Mark & Michelle! Bent Creek has released another cute sheep design... only this one celebrates a favorite couple! Check out her garter!

Offered as a complete kit, it includes the chart, 25ct natural linen, flosses (some overdyed) and a little white Heart of Love clay button! Basic and trendy colors... simple... they finish approx 5 x 6.

This is a pretty little piece, very contemporary in feel, that is designed as a wedding remembrance. The model is stitched on 40ct in overdyeds, but you can choose any fabric you like without destroying the charm of this! Classic shades of burgundy, gold and sage, the alphabet is included for personalization.

Finishing approx 2-1/2 x 5 on the 40ct, various fabric counts will change the finished size. I like the way the flowers break out of the borders, it just feels young and fresh! Offered as a single chart.

Bent Creek is continuing their set of 'Globe' designs that have previously been offered only in Zipper Kit format, with this new design. Joining all the rest of the Christmas designs (that are all on 18ct linen, stitched with perle cottons) is this wedding announcement.

It's stitched on 32ct Summer Khaki Belfast using overdyeds from your stash. It finishes approx 3-1/2 x 4... just darling! The package contains the chart, linen and smattering of teeny-weeny buttons, along with the alphabet and numbers to personalize each blessed event!

Lili Points has a foolproof recipe for a happy family life -- a big bag of love, a pinch of tenderness... mix in the laughter of children... consume without moderation... it's really a very sweet piece!

Offered as a chart, it finishes approx 12 x 12 on 32ct, and is stitched in only two colors -- white and gray! (You could always change that a little if you want to work in some colors of a particular room.) Anyhow, really nice as a wedding piece, or housewarming gift, it has a fresh, clean feel, and will be a breeze to stitch!

This is a lovely reproduction sampler by Reflets de Soie of France. To be brutally honest with you... we had to Google to see what the sampler says... "A loving tribute offered to my darling parents." I think it is absolutely gorgeous! Clearly charted, is it a wonderful tribute originally designed by Isabelle Mazabraud around 1900. (Somebody from France e-mail us, and tell us more!)

The DMC colors are raspberrys, moss greens, creams and pinks... and some soft lavenders. I love the motifs... they are so graceful... and the borders are all different. Don't miss the corner motifs -- but it all goes together in a relaxed, elegant piece! Wonderful as a birth sampler, an anniversary tribute, or just to tell your parents or grandparents you love them! Offered as the chart, it has a stitch count of 317 x 305 -- an impressive 20 x 20 on 32ct(!) and is charted in the Universal Stitching Language of DMC! Lovely!

Wow... this is a glistening little confection of rose, white and teal stitched on 32ct Raw/Opalescent Belfast Linen. Each letter of LOVE is stitched in its own square, surrounded by its own pretty border. Garnishing each one are crystal pailettes (little sequin-like things that are pronounced 'pie-yets'... with the emphasis on the yets.)

Finishing approx 4 x 4, the complete kit contains the linen, flosses, needles, pailettes and beads. There are a few Lazy Daisy stitches scattered here and there... but what makes this piece is the sparkle the fabric and embellishments add!

Wow... this is such a piece of needleart elegance!!! Breathtakingly delicate, it's full of texture, special stitches, and beaded highlights. The complete kit for this Bridal Pillow includes 32ct White Sienna Linen, needles, soft blues, greens and pink DMC flosses, #12 perle cotton, silver and light blue Kreinik metallics, ice and white Mill Hill beads, and tiny white pearls, crystal paillettes, and white frosted glass flower beads!!! Finishing approx 7 x 7, you can assemble this into whatever size pillow you'd like. The instructions tell you to start in the center, and stitch your way to the edges. So... if you can't get the entire thing done in time for the wedding... you can stop at any point and you'll still have something pretty!

Here's a darling set of quick announcements for special people! Each piece is stitched on 32ct Lambswool linen -- but you could anything you want! -- and finishes approx 4-1/2 x 3. (10ct Fabric will make them 5 x 7 each.) Read those birth samplers... Sarah Louise was born... (dates)... 'And Growing' is the verse! That is just so cute... and very true of all babies!!! The small take-out design from the wedding piece makes a darling Christmas ornament to present as the couple's first Christmas together!!! Available as a leaflet with charts for each of the projects shown on the cover, as well as actual-sized templates for the felt shapes!

Simply stunning, this sampler will quickly become a family heirloom to be treasured! Based on a Shakespeare Sonnet, the verse speaks of love and the commitments of marriage over time. Perfect for a wedding or anniversary sampler, and finishing approx 8 x 26 on 32ct Natural Linen, the design is stuffed full of special stitches, and is worked in lots of green, raspberry, cranberry and burgundy, warm browns, soft golds and creme. Choose between flosses, silks, or a mixture of both threads! Along with all the beautifully presented stitch diagrams comes the entire chart... on one continues piece of paper that measures 11 x 34 inches! (No guessing where the pattern repeats from one page to the next! It's all here in one chart for you!) Beautifully presented, full of details and wonderful sentiment!

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! If you don't know anyone who's getting married, stitch it anyway, and leave off the names and dates! Stitched in beautiful white silks, it also uses Trebizond -- a heavier weight silk thread -- opalescent metallic, white silk ribbon, perle cotton, a touch of taupe silk, and 2 sizes of pearls for embellishments.

Stitched on 28ct Platinum Cashel linen... the larger finishes 5 x 21", the smaller, 3 x 16". It's loaded with special stitches, and features some really pretty hardanger embroidery in the design. The book includes excellent instructions and diagrams, to stitch both a larger and smaller version of the design. You will need to purchase your fabric separately.

A simple wedding day remembrance, this is stitched on Natural Linen in the picture, but can be worked on almost any fabric you choose -- maybe something to match the wedding colors? Soft greens and cremes, there are three charms included, a double heart and two wedding bells, that attach to the design. It's been a popular choice for our customers for a number of years, because it looks so nice, yet is easy to stitch and finish in time for the big event!

Choose either the girl or boy version -- both are alike, except for the color combinations.

181 x 180 Stitch count, check out the mess by the cereal bowl!!!

A cool birth sampler -- you get to personalize the WHOLE THING!!! Alphabets are supplied, along with a huge planning sheet of graph paper (if you need it!) to design and re-arrange to fit the family. Basically, this piece celebrates the new baby, and lets you surround her/his information with the initials of as many ancestors as you can!!! Stitch it as is... or got to town!!

Offered as the leaflet with lots of extra motifs and helpful suggestions. Main sampler -- just as it is -- finishes approx 11 x 13 on a 14/28 fabric.

A classic by Nancy Faulkner, this piece is NOT for a weak-of-stitcher!!! SOLID cross stitches make this 400 x 561 stitch count piece a whopping 16 x 24 over ONE THREAD on 25ct! Who isn't charmed by something like this???

Offered as the chart, we have lots of other classic artwork like this one gracing our Heaven & Earth Designs pages!!!

The most charming little scene from artist Scott Gustafson, straight from children's story books, this is classic Snow White!

It is solid cross stitch, stitch count of 525 x 301. Awesome detail, just lovely! Offered as the chart.

A darling little birth sampler that has been a customer favorite for several years, this is cute, colorful, and fits for both a girl or boy.

Offered as a leaflet, it finishes approx 10 x 6-1/2, and features two button embellishments.

'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!

The next sheep/ewe kit by Bent Creek, this one celebrates the arrival of that darling baby sheep on top of Mama! The complete kit offers charts to personalize, and BOTH Old Blue and Antique Rose overdyed flosses to stitch whichever suits your new arrival.

Stitching approx 4 x 6 on the included 25ct linen, it's a cute quickie!

A 'Teenie Tweenie' design, offered in small card format... this one offers a classic teddy bear! Finishing approx 3 x 3, the pattern can be stitched on almost any fabric, and includes a full alphabet and set of numerals for personalization.

(BTW, Steven is now 30 years old... hope it doesn't take you that long to get yours stitched!)

Stoney Creek has 6 charming designs that will fit our bibs and little towels! Of course, you might have something darling that is already waiting in your stitchery stash of patterns... but if not, here is a set of six different charts.

Most will look great stitched on any of the terry cloth colors, so keep that in mind as you choose. All patterns are offered as a single chart of matching bib and towel. So Cute!

Matched pieces to our cute little hooded baby towels... these small 'dribble bibs' are charming counterparts to stitch and cherish for years and years to come! The same rich Terry in the same colors, each bib measures approx 9 x 10, and features the same woven aida panel (actually a front pocket of the bib) as the blankets -- only it measures approx 2-1/4 x 8. A snap closure makes them easy to dress baby.

They are NOT lined with plastic, and they are NOT huge... so definitely for a newborn, or 'delicate' bib for a little baby, these are not a 'turbo-everyday-super-duper-red-spagetti-sauce' variety of bib... these are baby shower and 'stitched with Granny's Love' bibs! Very soft and really cute!

Such lovely towels to dry off the tiniest member of the family... this is the kind of thing that you'll never part with! I still have my daughter's baby towel that I stitched 20 years ago... and SHE still loves to see it! (and it's in some of my favorite old pictures, too!)

This is a beautiful collection of 100% Cotton terry cloth hooded towels made by the Dohler Co in Brazil. Available in 5 colors, each towel measures approx 30 x 30 inches, and features a corner pocket with an aida-weave right IN the fabric. You have an area of approx 2 x 10 inches to personalize your towel with baby's name or some cute motifs from something you've treasured in your pattern stash!

Each towel is piped with woven cotton edging, and is so wisper-soft! The colors are just as dreamy! White, Pink and Blue towels feature white piping. The yellow towel features lime green piping, and the lime green towel has light blue trim. Precious!

Delightfully simple, yet very traditional birth samplers, each measures approx 5 x 5 when worked over one thread on 25ct. If you choose something like a 14ct Aida, you'll have a 9 x 9!

Just sweet... no garish cartoon characters!

Pine Mountain has quite a few darling baby pillow kits... Sweet Baby is only one of the designs offered! Always offered as complete kits of the PRE-SEWN pillows, along with the chart, occasional embellishment and all the flosses... these make darling QUICK gifts that present well!

Trendy fabrics, cute colors, lots of variety, these are just what the Baby Doctor Ordered -- visit the Pine Mountain Page for more!!!

Bent Creek is continuing their set of 'Globe' designs that have previously been offered only in Zipper Kit format, with this new design. Joining all the rest of the Christmas designs (that are all on 18ct linen, stitched with perle cottons) is this baby announcement.

It's stitched on 32ct Summer Khaki Belfast using overdyeds from your stash. It finishes approx 3-1/2 x 4... just darling! The package contains the chart, linen and smattering of teeny-weeny buttons, along with the alphabet and numbers to personalize each blessed event!

One of Erica Michaels' recent releases... this is a monochromatic study in simple baby motifs. Shown stitched on gingham linen for a casual nursery, or in one color of overdyed for a more classic decor. Stitch the stork, bottles, buggy, diaper pins (which are becoming a thing of the past!) and possibly some important facts about the 'special feature', and you have a lovely baby announcement.

Offered as a leaflet, this finishes approx 4 x 6. If baby is half-grown by the time you finish this... add a baby ring and lock of hair... and maybe even that actual diaper pin as embellishment!!!

Lovely birth announcements -- charted with French words -- all tucked into a beautiful heart shape! Very classy designs, each is offered as the chart, and is coded for DMC floss. Stitched on 28ct linen, they measure approx 8 x 8.

Imported directly from France... you'll find the instructions are handwritten in French... but stitchers the world-over KNOW the DMC numbers just the same!!! Lambs and hearts welcome your new little one!
(Make sure you see the other 20-ish heart designs by Bleu de Chine on her pages!)

Aren't these the cutest little shoes??? Can't you picture the little people who wear them??? One of Sue Hillis's newest releases, this leaflet features three different shoe designs stitched 5 different ways. Included is a full alphabet and number set, so you can personalize the shoes of your choice.

Each finishes approx 3 x 4 or 5-ish on 28ct, and is stitched with DMC flosses. Change shoe colors if need be... what a darling baby announcement?! You could even get the original shoes bronzed, frame them in a shadow box, and feature this stitching in the box! Moms and Grandmas... get busy!

'Where did you come from, baby dear? Out of the everywhere, into the here.' Teresa Layman has brought us the most exquisite birth sampler announcement! It is cross-stitched on 36ct Cream Edinburgh linen in shades of DMC, Weeks and Gentle Art overdyed flosses. There is a special opening in the chart which is reserved for a miniature knotwork piece by Teresa called 'Fairy Godmother.' (Available with this chart, or separately) If you choose 'not to knot!' you can cut out the opening in the linen, hem the edges, and insert a photo of your special baby instead.

The main sampler is worked in blues and aquas, because of the colors of the Fairy Godmother showpiece in the center. If you really, really want more pinks... change the checkerboard blanket and baby's dress in the miniature knotwork portion, and adjust border colors in the sampler. Measuring approx 12 x 17, this piece is elegant and stunning -- we haven't begin to do it justice in our image, in fact. (Our fabric cut is a 'fat quarter yard' chunk -- more economical for you than the 18 x 23 cut!) Definitely at home in a 'decorator' nursery... and treasured forever... wherever its final hanging place will be!
Don't miss Teresa's other new designs, too, shown on her page.

Something cute and simple from Sue Hillis Designs, this is a sweet birth announcement with advice for life! Offered as the leaflet with the baby cup charm, stitch the ducks and water in blue and yellow. You can change the name and advice to pink, in case you are celebrating a girl!
