Small Scissors Fobs Mix & Match



Here is an example of numerous versions of one chart and not being able to decide which I like best...... so, mix them up and use the ones you like best. Different color combinations will change them as well, so each fob will be unique! I've included the alphabet I made to go with it so any initials should work for the fob back. I designed these when I was making the scissors fob for Carol R's HoE Freebie Exchange. If you like the chart and want to send a photo of the finished fob, I would love to see it and post it here.

Needlework Set - Part 4 - Needlecase



Still no Internet at home so another quick post from work. I have no idea how long it will take to get my phone, cable and Internet back but I know it takes a backseat to restoring electricity to 600,000 homes and businesses statewide, not to mention digging out from under all the broken tree limbs and whole trees that are down. It really does look like a war zone right now but they are working on it. Now they are predicting snow for the weekend (only 3 or 4 inches, so they say) but at least that's better than all the ice and freezing rain.

Needlework Set - Part 3 - Biscornu


Stork Scissors Biscornu Side 1 pdf


Stork Scissors Biscornu Side 2 pdf

My apologies for the quality of the chart - seems my printer is running out of ink - I may have to rescan and post if anyone has trouble with it. Let me know!

***Edited*** Pdf files have been uploaded for the charts.

Needlework Set - Part 2 - Stork Scissors Fob


We are in the midst of a bad ice storm here in Oklahoma and my Internet at home is down for who knows how long, so I am staying after work to post this - so it will be short!

Needlework Set - Part 1 - Scissors Case


Today's chart is for a scissors case. I think 16ct or 32ct over two threads will probably work best. There will be matching scissors fob and needlecase charts (maybe a biscornu as well?) over the next few days. The small dotted line is not stitched it is just to show the fold line for the flap and the larger dashed line is just to show the point that the flap will overlap to on the front.

Cross Stitch, Coffee & Cats



I've charted the cat, cup and needle in case you can't find buttons or charms for them.

Stork Scissors Square

 

This is another of my favorite charts. I've used these same motifs for several projects. I thought this would make a nice top for a wood sewing box or something along those lines. I've used these same motifs for a stitching set which I'll post later on.

Gone Stitching Scissors Fob


A quick to stitch scissors fob, easily adapted to whatever color scheme you like. I love needlework tools (especially scissors!) and love charts that depict them.

Sorry, Gone Stitchin'

Here is one of my favorite charts - it's an updated version of one I did several years ago for a local shop's monthly kit. I have posted two versions - one with backstitching and one without (for those who really don't like to backstitch). The colors in the chart match the tuck pillow I got to finish it in - feel free to change colors to suit yourself. It would make a great doorknob hanger or easel/flat fold standup.

This chart is an updated version of one I designed several years ago for my friends at cross stitch camp. It should fit nicely in one of the Tuck Pillows for a fast finish.
