Too cute!

The past couple of weeks have seen me sifting through every last one of my patterns, counting for stocktake, and discounting for the sale page on the web. I've been pretty ruthless - there are dozens and dozens of patterns for sale as I made a concerted effort to reduce! Also fabric - and once I have tackled the fabric side of stocktake over the weekend you can be sure there is going to be a whole lot more of that on sale too - have a look for them on the 'specials' page.

So while it is out with the old, it's also in with the new and these gorgeous newbies arrived just a couple of days ago. Natalie Bird has just released a new book called ''A Thankful Heart'' and truly, this book is stunning. This is the main quilt project ...
...and this shows a little bit of everything else that's in the book....

The bunny is just the cutest ever - "Best Bunnie" award!

This is Melly's newest addition - Tally....

...and Tripp...

I've been starting to get a few of May Blossoms sweet patterns too - here's one of her new ones - Snug Puppy - cute ay!
And can you just imagine what a little Christmas tree would look like with these draped all over.... Sugar Plum Medallions....
Here's Cinderberry Stitches ''Flat Nat'' - definitely on my list of things to stitch :)

I've sorted out the Robyn Pandolph ''Beach House'' fabrics into fat quarter bundles - they're so pretty - soft pinks.......

.....pale blues.......

.....greens...
.....and sweet creams...

These will be on the ''fabric'' page of my website. They are American fat quarter size which is just ever so slightly smaller than ours - about 45cm x 55cm instead of 50cm x 55cm.
Nice treats don't you think?
Have a fabulous week :)

New Goodies

I've got some gorgeous new patterns to show you - lots and lots of stitchery - yum!

A "Vintage Postcard" cushion from Crab-apple Hill Studio...
... and ''Nesting Time"...
.... a close up of ''Friendship Blooms Over Garden Fences''...

... and a close up of one of the stitcheries from ''Snow Days'' (this quilt is a must for me to stitch - it's stunning!)...


...and last but not least from the girls at Crab-apple Hill, a close up of the cutest Snowman quilt you've ever seen - Snowmen from A to Zzzz. (Sorry but this was a bit of a challenge to get a pic!)


From the gorgeous Brenda Ryan - here's a couple of her latest. The Topiary Trio is so beautiful (it's on the ''must'' list too :))...

... and her second William Morris inspired cushion series - ''Two Red Roses across the Moon'' - using the fabulous Cottage Garden Threads...
Also, a couple of weeks back now I received my order of French General linen towelling - it's a narrow width cotton linen weight fabric - already hemmed, and absolutely perfect for stitching. Am working on a little project with it - let you know how it goes.
They are all on my website - http://www.thestitchery.co.nz/. Back to work, now - just thought you might like to see some of my new goodies.

Keep warm while you are stitching!
