The newest releases from Lady K Needlearts.  The first is Bachelor Buttons Tapestry Garden and is a companion to the Tulip and Daffodil Gardens, but can easily stand on its own.  This design was stitched on 28 ct white Jobelan using overdyed fibers from ThreadworX.  The stitch count is 190w x 190h.

The retail price for this is $14.00 plus shipping.

Love is…is a wonderful sampler featuring Inspirational quotes about love.  The  *watermark* effect is achieved by stitching the background *LOVE* with 1 strand of pale floss.  The inspirational quotes are then stitched in 2 strands of silk.  This gives an overall appearance of the watermark being part of the background fabric.  The model was stitched on 40 ct White Newcastle linen using Belle Soie Silks from Crescent Colours and NPI silk for the watermark.  This sampler is 201w x 273h.

The retail price for this is $15.00 plus shipping.

Lastly Lady K has a collection of three Christmas ornaments.  Christmas Trio will be released next week at the Online Needlework Show.  the models were stitched on 36 ct White Edinborough linen using Bell Soie Silks from Crescent Colours and Silk ‘n’ colors from The Thread Gatherer.  As a bonus option I am offering enough of the suggested silks to stitch all three of the designs at least once (possibly more) for an added cost of $7.50.  this way you don’t have to purchase all the seperate skeins of silk when you only need small amounts of each one.

The retail price of this chart is $10.00 plus shipping.

Add $7.50 for the silks.

Sabine has announced a new release available on April 1st. It is Goes 1896.

I am now taking pre-orders for this design and I will be placing my order for this on that date. As I do not know the price of this one yet, a small deposit of $15 is required at the time of the pre-order and I will let you know the total before I ship.    I can also order any other design from Sabine at the same time.  So if you would like to have something of hers please let me know.

It is that time again and we will be getting all the new Nashville releases added as we get them.  I will be offering a 15% discount on all pre-orders so if you see something you like just send me an email so that I can be sure to get it for you. Also since it is impossible for me to get all the new things up here,  if you see something on another site that you like  just let me know and you will receive the discount.

Lady K Needlearts is introducing 2 new designs this year.  First is Spanish Flair. The design is 307w x 307h stitches and uses 2 colors of floss.  The model was stitched in NPI silks on 40 ct Newcastle linen.  There is a DMC conversion listed.  This design would look great in a multitude of colors.

Next is The Greatest of These. This is a lovely band sampler done in two different colorways–a rich burgandy and a teal.  It is 80w x 286h and can be finished as a bellpull or may be framed.  The bellpull model was stitched on 40 ct Parchment Linen from WDW using 2 NPI silks and 1 Silk n Colors from Thread Gatherers.  The teal model was stitched on 32 ct Belfast using 2 NPI silks and 1 SnC from Thread Gatherers.  It was professionally framed.    I will get a photo of the teal model up as soon as I can.

I am so very pleased to introduce to you The Bag Lady. The Bag Lady is a very talented stitcher and seamstress who has produced some wonderful exclusives for us here at TheMadStitcher. Her work is exceptional, the styles are fabulous, and the fabrics she is offering are vast and beautiful. Today I am sharing with you a wonderful 6 piece Travel Tote Set. This set offers a large and roomy Tote Bag, a Scissors Wallet that will hold up to 12 pairs of embroidery scissors, a Mug Apron which you have to see to believe, a Tri-fold Organizer with 3 zippered pockets, a small Project Bag and a Pen Roll-up which will hold up to 12 pens and/or hi-lighters. I have just given a sampling of the fabrics available–from tapestries to stripes to novelty. Since the availability of each fabric is limited if you want your pieces to match you must order them at the same time. Otherwise matching the fabrics is not guaranteed. Also the large tote Bag can be personalized for an extra fee. Just email me about this. The 3 pieceTote set can be purchased separately as can the Accessories set but you will receive a better price when purchasing together. Check them out in the shop for all the details.
