We have just added size 12 Kreiniks to our extensive line of metallic threads. Kreinik metallic threads come in a large array of colors. They add sparkle and dimensions to any cross stitch project. Many of the Mirabilia and Lavender and Lace patterns call for the use of Kreinik threads.
We currently carry Kreinik blending filaments, size 4, size 8 and now size 12 braids. We carry the full line of colors and also carry the special threads like cable, cord, vintage, fluorescent and Japan threads.
Butternut Road by Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum is another one of my favorite cross stitch pattern lines. Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum is also the designer of Lavender and Lace and Told In a Garden patterns. Here are some of my favorites from her Butternut Road Line.

We will be adding Weeks Dye Works Floss to our extensive line of products this weekend. This is a hand over-dyed, 6 stranded cotton fiber. The colors are variegated enough to be noticeable, yet subtle enough to blend naturally. It is used for cross stitch, needlepoint on all different counts of fabric and canvas.

It has been several months now since Mirabilia has been shipping patterns. Their official statement to retailers and wholesalers is that they are going through a “restructuring”. I have found a few website that claim there is a divorce and financial issues involved, so I am assuming it is going to be quite some time before Mirabilia patterns ship again. I am trying to take the patterns off my site as I run out of them, so what you see is what you can get. I would be happy to take orders for all patterns and ship them when they resume business. Just send me an e-mail or give me a call and I can take pre-orders for patterns. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here are some great cross stitch patterns from Passione Ricamo. Passione Ricamo is a designer from Italy. Their themes are often fairies, romance, and country. The style is very similar to Mirabilia, another one of my favorite designers.
This is Passione Ricamos most recent design called
Circe the Sorceress.
This is also another recent design by Passione
Ricamo called Galatea.
My Lady of the Snow is one of my favorites
by Passione Ricamo.
The Night by Passione Ricamo is another
favorite of mine. This may be my next project.

Mirabilia is still not shipping any patterns and it has been several weeks, even months now. Some great alternatives to Mirabilia patterns are Passione Ricamo and Lavender and Lace. They have very similar styles.
