Welcome Spring!!  I enjoy the winter but I'm glad spring is on it's way.  Warm weather, no snow, and flowers springing up everywhere.  We've been doing some spring cleaning to make way for all the new things that are coming in so that means we've got a few things on sale.  In stock DMC Tapestry wool, Londonderry linen thread, and Tremme Needlepoint canvases and kits are all 50% off!!

 

How many UFO's are in your closet?  That's what Raise the Roof wants to know.  Except in this case UFO stands for Un-Finished Object.  This is the perfect chart for any stitcher who has a closet (or a drawer, or a cabinet, or a suitcase - you get the idea) full of Un-Finished Objects!!

Fabric: 28 ct. Natural Light Jobelan (Wichelt Imports)
Fibers: DMC Floss
Extras: Button pack by Just Another Button Company

Also new from Raise the Roof is a different kind of year sampler called 'Crabby All Year'.  This shows the not so fun side of each month.  But it looks like a lot of fun to stitch!

Fabric: 32 ct. Vintage Pearled Barley Linen (Lakeside Linens)
Fibers: DMC Floss
Extras: Button pack by Just Another Button Company
WooHoo!!! Another washline!!  Even the name of the fabric is sweet - "Cotton Candy".  You'll need a box of chocolates to stitch this Valentine's piece by Raise the Roof (just don't get the chocolate on the fabric!).

Fabric: 32 ct. Vintage Cotton Candy Belfast Linen (Lakeside Linens)

All Tied Up - "January Snow Friends" All Tied Up - "February Finery" All Tied Up - "March Mayhem"
Pine Mountain has a new series of pillows call All Tied Up.  There is a new pillow for each month starting (of course) with snowmen for the month of January.  "April Surprise" is the newest kit out.  Each kit includes a pre-sewn pillow sham made with 10 ct Tula, coordinating fabrics and organza tie, DMC floss, tapestry needle, color photograph, instructions, and is packaged in a re-usable vinyl project bag.
"Crystal Symphony" is the perfect name for this new lady by Mirabilia.  You can almost hear the orchestra playing as she sits listening under the crystal chandelier.  This piece sparkles with delicate stitches and Mill Hill beads and glistens with Mill Hill treasures.

 

"Spring Has Come" "Summer Breeze"
"Measure of a Year" "Rain, Rain, Go Away"
 Prairie Schooler continues to offer wonderful samplers and their 4 new charts are no exception.  Beautiful colors and easy to stitch, these samplers will be a great addition to your Prairie Schooler collection.
