New Stuff & Good Deals For The Gifting
Even if you're gifting yourself (wrap it first so you'll be surprised!)
RAYGUN Collab: Burn It All Down
I saw this design at one of my favorite shops, RAYGUN (their newsletter is brilliant). I really wanted to reverse-engineer it into a pattern and they were SO gracious and kind about it. Here's the deal: you can stitch this piece while wearing Raygun's matching crew sweatshirt! It's therapeutic, plus you're sure to be the spectacle of the holidays (and isn’t that the goal, really?)
The dumpster fire meme isn't going anywhere--you can probably replace the date on this for years to come—hope not, but just saying! (note: I went more red than orange, but if you want to totally matchy-matchy, you could use DMC #740 orange instead). There’s a PDF, too!
Buy A Kit, Add A Frame for 15% off!
If you buy any Basic or Deluxe kit on the KIT or HOLIDAYS pages, you can add one of our 5x5 or 5x7 frames for 15% off! Stitch it, frame it, gift it, relax! Just use code ADD FRAME at checkout. Expires on 12/16/24.
Retro Rhinestone Scissor Set: The PERFECT Gift
I found FOUR of these sets stashed away—I swear I wasn’t hoarding (they’re my beloved desk scissors of choice!)
Kate Blandford Originals Fresh From the UK
I have really admired Kate Blandford's creations for a while and I finally found a way to get them in our shop--yeay! Sustainable crafting, straight from the UK! The raindrops needle minder has vexed me with its coolness for a long time and the flower floss organizers are gorgeous in person, with glitter and glittery stars and muted tones. I just love ‘em! p.s. Santa says these would make some pretty stellar gifts.
Ball and Nut Humor from Mr. Stevers
Last year, I was hesitant about Stever’s Nutcracker pattern, but boy, was I wrong— you loved it! I greatly underestimated your penchant for testicular humor. So now it’s a kit, PLUS there’s a new second similarly-themed kit and pattern for your twisted pleasure (that tree is gorgeous; how does he do it?)
Classic Lace Bookmark Kits are BACK
Hi! Remember us? It’s a long story about the Charles Craft lace-edge bookmarks—they were gone for EVER, finally came back but half of them weren’t up to snuff so I sent them back. I’ve got a couple dozen that passed my quality test, so I’m offering them in these three classic kits! Get ‘em while they’re hot! I don’t think I’ll continue carrying lace bookmarks until they ALL arrive perfect.
Give The Gift of Subversive!
In case you didn’t know, we have Starter Packs with everything you need to get someone else hooked on your favorite hobby. You can also add a book to sweeten the pot. Both versions available, always at the top of the Supplies page.
Discontinued Kits: 40% Off!
We’ve GOT to make room for all the new kits we come out with all the time! Enjoy a hefty 40% off these three kits (Basic and Deluxe)—no code needed! Price is good until I take them down on Monday. Then they’re gone FOREVER!
Just a Few Calendars Left…
This is the last year we’ll be doing these wall calendars with Rizzoli and we only have about a dozen left—still priced at $12, what a deal!
Our Pillowcases are…Flammable?
We’ve seen some crazy things over the years, like dogs or even goats eating your kits or patterns, but this is a new twist—from Subversive stitcher Karen:
Hi there! I'm sharing this just because it is so ridiculous. I received my "postmenopausal female" pillow kit the other day. I sat down to work on it tonight and after finishing ONE LETTER, I accidentally stuck the corner of the case into a candle and set the damn thing on fire. Hence an order for additional pillowcases. Sigh.
Of course I asked for photos to show you!
Yikes! Don’t stitch too close to candles or the fireplace or people who are HOT! ;)
Things are hoppin’ around here and we’re having fun thinking of ways to make you a gifting hero. The Shipping Magnate is working so hard! When I peek in to check on him, all I can think is…
We’re not done yet! See you next week!
