Well I am back from Nashville and what goodies I have for you! I had such a wonderful time seeing all of the new pieces, seeing friends I have known and making new friends along the way. I only had one problem while in Nashville- I found so many wonderful things (my husband said I was like a kid in a candy store). I know have pictures of the Just Nan releases for preorder you can click the Just Nan and get more info.
I guess the best way for me to let you know about all the wonderful products is just to get to it-so here we go, just click on each designer as you go along and you can see the charts to the left (or click on the chart name to see a larger photo).
Carriage House Samplings- A great piece- The Shores of Hawk Run Hollow.
Cats Whiskers- OK, so I knew what was new here before going but I will tell you that seeing the models in person was great! The Garden Chair is so very cute and the umbrella is wonderful! The Le Coffre du Trésor de la Reine (Queens Treasure Chest) was so beautiful- the stitches are incredible. We of course have Janies other pieces as well, The Purr-fect Bookmark a cute, quick little piece to stitch up. The Bianca's Scissor Pocket with its incredible colors and the wonderful biscornu Winter Wonderland.
Cherished Stitches-I have gotten the two new pieces for the Amethyst Collection and I am sure these will be as popular as the Needle Case. I have the Sewing Bag and also the Scissor Case and Pin Keep. I have also picked up the finishing kit- it is one kit but has the materials needed for both.
Dinky Dyes-has brought us some wonderful new pieces. We have Min Min, Lasseter's Reef and Butterfly Garden all available with the Dinky Dye Thread.
Fern Ridge Collections- Ok this is one of my favorite pieces (or should I say 3 pieces) We have for you the Autumn Etui, Autumn Etui Needlebook and Autumn Etui Fob. These are all kits and included everything you need-and I will say is that this has to be one of the most beautiful fabric colors I have seen. The fabric is a double dyed piece from Lakeside Linens and is wonderful! The fob is a beading kit and also includes everything needed.
GPA-Giulia Punti Antichi-The Adam and Eve Etui has to be another one of my favorite pieces that I saw. A wonderful etui designed for the "Adam and Eve" set by 'In The Company of Friends'. Both of these pieces are based from motifs from the Caroline Reeves Sampler. The chart is sold separately but we also have the set from In the Company of Friends which includes cards, envelopes, finishing labels, bookplates, needlebook, thread palette and pin keep.
Hands To Work- I found two cute new charts here.
Heirloom Embroideries-The Embroiders Huswif is great but has been delayed and will not be available for a few weeks but is available for pre-sale. We do however have on hand a wonderful Biscornu- Peachy Biscornu and a companion piece for Chocolate and Cherries called Cerise Fleur.
Jeannette Douglas-Here is another one of my favorites from the show-Pomegranate and Pear Stitches. The colors on this piece are just incredible. A second addition to her Stitches Series is Silver Needle Stitches. Both of the additions to the Stitches series also have a needlebook available. To add to her American Journeys Series we have The Bay State-Massachusetts. Last from Jeannette we have A Needle and Thread Sampler.
Just Nan- We have one new release for you- Sparkling Iris. We also have some news of upcoming releases. I was able to see Barnabee's Bride Kit and it is wonderful! (similar to the Ladybug release from last year) and also the Biscornu- When Barnabee Met Bella. Both are very limited editions and I only have a few on reserve and won't be able to order more so I am going to require a 50% deposit to hold one for you . So if you are interested in getting one or both click here to reserve your copy.
Keslyn's- A new designer for me to carry and and I am excited about the pieces I picked up. I loved all of these new pieces the colors were just wonderful but even better she had a few with a different color way and it looked like an entire different chart. These would be great to stitch as is or even change the colors to match your decor.
MTV Designs- Another absolutely beautiful piece- Treasure Sewing Box is a must have on my list. I have the chart on hand (no finishing instructions included) I believe there will be some form of finishing kit which is stuck in customs. I will let you know more about that as soon as I do. I also have the Olde Willow Thread pack for this piece as well. I just wish I had a better picture to show you but if you go to www.mtvdesigns.com you can see a quick video that really shows a lot of the detail in this piece. I also picked up the new Romantic Sewing Set which includes finishing instructions.
Papillon Creations-What else would we expect but great pieces here- Natures Marvels and New World.
Patricia Ann Designs- Patricia had some wonderful Nashville Limited Pieces (so make sure you get yours now since I can not reorder). Honeybee Scissor Fob is a very cute fob kit (even the stuffing is included). The second limited piece is Welcome to My Home, which is also a complete kit and includes a wonderful cat embellishment. Her new chart is also here-Friendship Sampler which reads "Friendship blossoms in our hearts" and is another wonderful piece.
Periwinkle Promises-These patterns I love! We have Frosty Celebration which is a wonderful Snowman made up of great stitches! Another sampler is Two Peas in a Pod also a complete kit. Last but certainly not least there is a collection called Stitching is the Berries which include a Sewing Tin (you can actually sew on the tin itself), Fob and Sheath and a Needlebook. These three are all sold separately but all include fabric and threads.
Poppy Kreations- Here are some cute new additions to the Poppy Kreations charts Including the new Stitchers Scent Chart which comes with a wonderful Apple Pie scented soy candle.
Rosewood Manor- We have 3 new pieces from Karen Kluba. Seasons of Trees- A wonderful piece showing the seasonal variations of the trees. Good Night based on an Irish Blessing and last but not least Read, Learn and Dream Bookmarks which is a collection of bookmarks that was designed to help promote literacy.
Sampler Cove-Two great new pieces from Sampler Cove- Siam Fusion and Spanish Bleus.
Satin Stitches Hardanger is my first love I am excited to now carry some of Donna Olson's wonderful pieces, some new some not so new but all wonderful!
Twisted Oak Designs- Here we saw the wonderful M'Lady's Chatelaine and Needle Nanny. The Needle Nanny is now available but due to a delay in the carved center piece for the Chatelaine that will not be available for a few more weeks but is available for pre-order.
With My Needle-I picked up some great things by Ellen. There is a wonderful Alphabet Samplings Book that includes 16 pages of alphabets, numerals and a floral bouquet. We also have the Hornbook Examplar which is a great little needlebook and scissor holder. Of course we had to pick up some of these cute little guys- Quaker Turtles which include a needlebook, pincushion,a pocket and a scissor weight.
