Mermaids !
from Melissa Shirley:
and these from Patty Paints:
For those who prefer a little modesty I’ve included some very fun(ny) buttons for covering up. One with scallop shell buttons and the other comes with orange fishies just like in the canvas. (buttons by Just Another Button Co.)
New cross stitch too:
Mermaid tapestry by Sharon Cohen. 4 x 6 on 32 ct. also by Sharon Cohen are two lovely needlebooks in the shape of hats. Elizabethan Coif and
Le coup de vent by Anagram. A perfect spring piece for those who like stylized women. Stitch count 125 x 175.
Chante, Rossignol Chante…. by Reflets de Soie stitch count 201 x 201. For those feeling pinched by the economy this would be a lovely piece to do as a counted needlepoint piece. It is charted using only 1 color for the design (something hand dyed would be nice) and a neutral for the background.
Not new, but new for the Nimble Needle is Tobasco by Long Dog. Exceptional colors for those who like a bright palette.
Lastly a real beauty for those who like BIG projects. Rhapsody in Red Ribbon Sampler by Sampler Cove of Thailand. 341 stitches square. Charted for two lovely hand dyed silks by Gloriana, both in the red family, though any two colors will work.
And there’s more. New charts from Rouge de Rhine, Bleu de Chine, Little House Needleworks, Workbasket and more.
