Summer is here, and it’s bringing a ton of new items with it. We have new items in cross stitch from Little House Needleworks, Mirabilia, and new items from Plymouth Yarn Company in knitting and crochet.

Nora Corbett brings a new chart to her collection of Mirabilia Designs called "White Christmas". This beautiful lady with her golden dress is stitched on 28 count Country Hazelnut Linen from Wichelt and uses DMC floss and Mill Hill Beads and Treasures. It is a beautiful addition to any stitcher’s collection.

The new fairy from Mirabilia's collection of limited edition kits is here! She's all decked out in her Halloween "costume" stitched with Crescent Colours and highlighted with Mill Hill Beads.  This is the THIRD kit in the series of fairies from Mirabilia. All 3 kits comes with 32 count Natural Belfast Linen from Zweigart, Crescent Colours hand dyed floss, Mill Hill Beads, and chart. The stitched are is 6.75" x 7.25" and has a stitch count of 106 x 120.

Season of Growth is the newest addition to Little House Needleworks ’ line of pillow designs. It is stitched in cool blues and mounted on a Trail Creek Farm blue plaid pillow. Season of Growth is the third chart in LHN’s line of pillow designs and they are absolutely stunning stitched up. LHN and Trail Creek Farm have certainly outdone themselves with the designs and pillows!

Little House has also released a new design in their Dear Diary series. It is about Hannah Purington from 1796 who lives in Harpswell, Maine. Each Dear Diary chart is about a fictitious girl from the 1700’s and 1800’s. This is the fourth design in LHN’s Dear Diary series. Each pattern comes with a small pillow design, a fictitious diary entry for the girl, and a gold key charm that gets hidden on the finished stitched piece.

This 2006 Limited Edition Santa Kit is the second in its series from Prairie Schooler. It is stitched with lovely holiday shades of Crescent Colours overdyed threads and stitched on 28 count Natural Raw Linen from Zweigart.
