These Schoolyard Sparklers are collectibles that can hook onto your favorite child’s backpack. They are made out of a sequined fabric that changes color when the sequins are flipped. How cute is that. And, once again, they are available later this month – just in time for the holidays.

Stitchin’ in the Kitchen

I love, love, love these kts by Bareroots. Each kit includes a high quality Dunroven towel; floss; pattern and the rickrack trim.

What a great foundation for a project of the month program. All of the designs are also available as patterns and additional towels can be ordered separately. Design a program that works for you!

Wool in all its Beauty

Rebekah Smith has designed two wool mats that can add a spark of color to any decor. Folk Hearts has two options – both so charming you will want to make both!

This table runner is stunning in Fall colors but would be gorgeous in Spring colors as well. The shape adds that awe factor and highlights the design as well.

Summer is beginning and is the perfect time for a bit of handwork. Wool is the perfect choice for a take along project!

Glow in the Dark

I want to make sure I get this right so in the words of Mettler:

POLY GLOW is a phosphorescent, washable embroidery thread that stores UV and artificial light, making embroideries and seams glow in the dark. The thread is extremely well-suited for extraordinary effects on sports, kids, leisure wear, bags and satchels as well as for embroidering logos and letterings. T

It is a 40 weight thread and comes on 109 yard spools for around $6.00. A 70 or 80 needle is recommended. It is due to arrive any day.

Why not display it with this glow in the dark fabric by Benartex :- due to arrive in March:

Pillowcases and pajamas would make your child smile!

New Bird Brain Designs for Winter and Spring

Robyn Kingsley of Bird Brain Designs is simply a delight. And her joy for living and stellar personality are reflected in every project she creates! These designs will be available later this month and are available for hand as well as machine embroidery.

There are even new releases for Spring and Fall…

 

I kept these images big so you could see the detail she incorporates into every scene!
