 These are beautiful designs that are "Itty Bitty" on size... and "Super Duper" on personality! Ruth Sparrow, the designer has a wonderful color sense, and has designed some of the most charming things! Really creative kits with "Ort Jars," hand-dyed felt embellishments, cool little tin frames... just lots of fun things! If you aren't a 'one over one' stitcher... just stitch these over two... they still look great! Charts, Kits and itty-bitty cards in the Twisted Threads line... See more of Ruth's design style in "The Trilogy" designs... as she is one of the "3-T" designers! | |||
Jack-O-Lantern & Snowman Punch Needles Two cute little 1-1/2 squares of delight that fit into Twisted's Tiny Tin
Pin frames... you can punch these in a jiffy, stick them into that little frame -- with virtually no finishing talent required (!), and wear it the next day!!! Perfect for teeny-weeny ornaments, too. Ruth has used the new Weeks Quilting thread -- 1 strand for these -- but you could use the flosses, too. Jack features Kreinik glow-in-the-dark filaments for the candy corn, and Snowman uses Pearl opalescent in his snowballs! Offered with the design stamped onto the fabric, these are quickies! |

Mini Gingham Cards  Our final two miniature monthly gingham patterns have arrived that finish out this year's auto-ship of this darling Twisted Threads series. I am sorry to see the set end... but maybe she'll do something just as cute next! Offered in a small card format, each mini-gingham design is stitched on 28ct Natural/Cream Riviera Linen, over one fabric thread. They finish a minute 1-1/2 inches square... and have such personality! August deals with travel... stitch it for a flight attendant!... and September features a school theme... so stitch it for a special teacher! (Forget stitching it for your favorite student... they can't wait for school to end this time of year!!!) We have all the cards available for individual purchase... or a 12-card set. If you work them over one thread, you can frame them in this cool little tin star frame that spans 5 inches from tip to tip. (Re-use it every month... or get a set of them!)  Anyway, offered as small cards, each uses overdyed flosses, and features a tiny square sterling charm. (I think the charm is a bit pricey, and doesn't really need to be included each time... but it does offer a sparkle!) These are just the cutest!!! | |||

Doggy Dog & Kitty Cat Mini Ginghams Well... as a most devoted pet owner to my Westie doggies, I can safely say that these two designs are just precious! I'm not sure Twinkles or Lizzie would know I stitched them, or appreciate it very much -- cheese is infinitely better in all situations -- but these are worth the stitching time anyway!!! Offered in Twisted Threads small Gingham Card format, each design is stuffed with little dogs and cats, bones and mice... all the important stuff in life! Each card features a sterling silver tag charm by Charland Designs. Cute and teeny weeny... the charm is very much on the pricey side. Perhaps a bead will do for yours, if the charm is out of the question! (Ruth and I had a great time debating the sterling costs vs value for this little guy the evening before the show opened! So, I promised her I'd order some, regardless of the price, because some of you might fall in love with it, just the same!!!) |

Family & Friends This is a really, really neat sentiment finished in an awesome metal frame!!! Actually a very simple chart -- change the colors of the house to yours, if you'd like, it finishes approx 2 x 2-1/2 inches. Family & Friends is shown framed in Twisted Threads newest tin frame which features punching all around -- and an oval opening. The frame measures approx 6 x 6-1/2, and features a slot in the back for easy, easy framing. You slide your piece in there, and it's a snap to change out again! A very classy design in a very classy presentation... what a great housewarming gift, wedding shower gift... or something for YOUR Home Sweet Home!!! |

Easter Gingham The latest in Twisted Threads miniature samplings of seasons on gingham linen, this is just as cute as all the rest! It finishes approx 2 x 3 stitched over one thread, and is embellished with three of the tinniest clay bees we have!!! Lots of springtime yellows and roses... the letters are stitched in Old Blue Paint overdyed... even though the cover hints at a grey color. Cute! |
 | ||
Christmas Gingham Yet another holiday/seasonal miniature stitched over one thread on 28ct Natural/Cream gingham linen... it's a tiny alphabet scattered with a candy cane, light bulbs, trees and a reindeer. Finishing approx 1-3/4 x 4-3/4... this is a tiny creation that I think calls for an added bit of backstitching around Santa's beard, the stars and bulbs. Because of the sheer small size of these gingham designs, they are eye-catchers, without taking you six months to stitch! (Christmas G joins all the seasons, plus Thanksgiving, Hearts, Ties, and probably more that I can't remember! see them all on the Twisted Threads page... cute!) |
 | ||
Gingham Ties Something classy to stitch for your Dad... there's enough time to finish this before Father's Day! Worked on 28ct Riviera cream and natural Gingham linen, this neat piece measures just about 1 x 9!!! Stitched in only Black Crow and Sarsaparilla overdyeds, you could add a verse in place of the alphabet letters... or stitch the ties in wild colors... if you want! You could even stitch it over two threads. Just a fun design, this is available as a leaflet. Click the image at right to see Ruth's other new designs. |

Thanksgiving Gingham Here is another design in this miniature set of gingham designs. Stitched over one thread on 28ct Riviera Gingham Linen... this is full of Thanksgiving flavor -- and even includes the turkey!!! Stitched in yummy overdyeds (the names are all foods!), it finishes a mere 2 x 4 inches! Small but showy... this is available as a leaflet. |

| Montage Kits from Twisted Threads Stitch a teeny over-one-thread design that measures less than 2 inches square... and tuck it into TT's Tin Star Fluted Frame, or go over two threads -- you'll have enough materials in these kits -- to create a seasonal decoration that's full of style and overdyed colors. Each kit includes the linen and flosses... the frames are available below. |
|||
Fluted Star Tin Frame Ruth's newest style of metal frame that is featured in several of the new Twisted Threads releases, as well as the new Trilogy Spot charts, stitched over one thread! Perfect for anything small, overall it measures 2-1/2 x 4-1/2. The design size for needlework is just a mere 2-3/8 inch square... so stitch something cute and little, and stick it in there!!! Pick a Lizzie Kate or Bent Creek something... a teeny Shepherd's Bush what-not -- anything from an unfinished project -- you'll feel so good when you're done!!! |
 | ||
Winter Gingham Joining the Autumn and Summer Gingham patterns already released, this tiny design, available in leaflet format, is worked over one thread on 28 ct Rivera Gingham Linen that is woven in creme and natural colors. Even though this finishes a mere 2 x 3," it has lots of charm! Perfect for a teeny-weeny display place! |
 | ||
Pumpkin Gingham Stitched on the taupe and cream Rivera Gingham linen by Graziano, this delightful little, fat pumpkin is stitched over one thread, and finishes only 2 x 4"! The grid on the chart is divided into blocks of 12 stitches, so when you work this... the lines on the chart actually follow the patterned check of the linen -- much easier to follow! Stitched in yummy fall colors of overdyeds, this is available as a leaflet, and we've figured the linen piece, as well! |
 | ||
Autumn Gingham The second in the seasonal gingham designs, this is as charming as Summer Gingham, released a few months ago! Finishing only 2 x 3-ish on the checkered Graziano Linen... it's stitched on 28ct over one thread, and is just the coolest little thing! Each of those checks on the linen is less than 1/2 an inch in size!!! |
 | ||
Summer Gingham This
is a cute teeny-weeny alphabet stitched with overdyed flosses, over one thread on the neat 28ct Riveria Gingham Graziano Linen. Each cream or natural square in the fabric has 12 threads, evenly woven so when you stitch on it, it's just like regular linen. Embellishments on the small side are a must, if you decide to add any at all. Available as a leaflet. |
 | ||
|
Americana Sampler This is a darling sampler, a complete kit. Stitched on 32ct over one, it finishes only
1 x 3" or over two threads it measures approx 2 x 6." (There is enough overdyed thread and fabric in the kit to work it either way.) Stitched in soft colors of Woodsmoke, Blueberry, and Lancaster Red overdyeds, the design features dividing bands of special stitches, all tucked between the stars and stripes! It reminds me of a comfortable pair of jeans! |

Tin Pin Heart Tin Pin St. Pat
Two seasonal decorations for your favorite outfit, or just a small special spot somewhere... the Itty-Bitty heart and St Pat's hat are stitched over one thread on a 32ct linen. Each is mounted in its tin frame, and includes a pin back, so you can wear your creation when it's finished!

Itty Bitty Baby Blessings One of many wonderful, intricate designs from Twisted Threads: What a wonderful gift for a new mother! (We have magnifier lamps for sale, to go with this design....!) Only one of a wonderful selection of designs by Ruth Sparrow of Twisted Threads. Ruth's forte' is "over one" stitching -- an intricate, detailed cross stitch method. Most of the photographs of her work don't begin to do them justice. The one at right comes with color choices for either a baby boy or girl, and is shown stitched on 32 ct natural linen. |
