Cecilia's Idle Time News
Spring is here! The birds are singing, flowers are blooming…And we have so MANY new items in the shop – we don’t know whether to stitch, knit, crochet, tat, or punchneedle!
 |
We have a beautiful Mirabilia Easter Fairy kit. The Easter Fairy is the second fairy of a limited edition holiday fairy series by Mirabilia. She is just gorgeous, stitched on 32 count Belfast linen using Crescent Colors threads in pastel shades of spring colors. |
|
Our Third Windowpane kit by Mill Hill has
just arrived! It is great to be able to purchase 1 frame and interchange the stitched pieces in the Windowpane frame. The May/June kit is loaded with bright colors-flowers, ducks, and a rooster. It also has a cute watering can that can be placed on the windowsill! |
 |
 | The Most Noble Pursuit Sampler is here! The designers of this fantastic sampler have outdone themselves! Ten top sampler designers have contributed their designs to this sampler that is a tribute to the faith and strength of women everywhere! Stitched with silk threads in traditional sampler colors on a soft piece of hand dyed linen, it will surely become a family heirloom! |
| One of our favorite designers – Little House Needleworks has several new charts. We just love this designer – her charts are easy to stitch, with very little backstitching and most charts can be stitched on linen, evenweave, or aida! | |
| The Little House Dear Diary Series is a series of eight designs. Each chart includes the girl’s "diary entry", the golden key to her diary that will be hidden in your stitching, and a second chart for a small pillow. The first Dear Diary is about Abigail Winslow from Boston. You can also collect all 8 small pillow charts and combine them into a single sampler. |
