A Blast from the Past! Small vignettes of fauna and flora reminiscent of 18th century pastoral scenes. Chart pack includes all four graphs and the overdyed floss for the sky. These will make great pincushions or tabletop pictures. Barbara stitched the originals on congress cloth using tent (petit point, half cross) stitch, but linen could just as easily be used. You could also stitch them in cross stitch over 1 on linen, or — for small pillows, do cross stitch over 2.

Look what we have done to Twitchetts! I always wanted a way to keep my Pearsall’s Silks in a neat and tidy manner once they had been cut. This does the trick. The new, smaller size Twitchetts fit perfectly inside the Pearsall’s zip lock bag. And they are also a great way to keep your crewel and other bulky threads in order. Just string the Twitchetts on a metal ring and keep everything in easy to reach order. Twitchetts are made of heavy card stock with a glossy finish and have a little hole on the side for that single strand!

When I first encountered these little powerhouses I thought they would hold my needles while I worked but that was about it. I now have them literally everywhere! They are great on the side of a filing cabinet, attached to a thumbtack on the wall, stuck to the metal base of my lamp, literally anywhere I want to create a place to hold a paper note, extra paper clips, my tiny stapler that always seems to be AWOL, you name it! I have also used them, along with a black cookie sheet, to make a platform to plan out new projects that require lots of bits of paper designs, threads and linen samples. The only warning is to make sure you keep them away from electronics like your computer, iPod and telephone.
