Mirabilia patterns are designed by an artist named Nora Corbett in Ohio. She creates original water color paintings and turns them into cross stitch patterns. Her subjects are generally angels, mermaids, queens, fairies, mothers and lovers along with timeless women. Mirabilia is one of my favorite line of patterns. They are generally quality pattern that often use beading and metallic threads to highlight the design. I carry all of the Mirabilia patterns that are available at Julie’s X Stitch.
If you are into collecting, Mirabilia makes a line of “Holiday Fairie” kits that include fabric and all the supplies you will need to complete the project including quality linen fabric. She also has a line of “Christmas Trees” every year for Christmas that include all the beads and treasures you will need to complete the piece.

We are dreaming of a white Christmas. Well, it’s more like a nightmare. ha We have had record snow fall this year and have been stuck in our house for several days due to the bad roads. We aren’t even receiving any mail because the mail trucks can’t get up here. This may effect some shipments. We will let you know when you order how long we estimate before we can ship your products.
Several of my suppliers, including my biggest supplier, take from Christmas Eve till the first week of January off. This may also effect shipments. As always, we will keep you up to date on your order so you know when to expect your order.
We appreciate your patience during this time of year.
Merry Christmas to all of my incredible customers and Happy New Year.

Kustom Krafts started creating cross stitch patterns in 1999 in a small Northern Ontario, Canadian town. Dyan Allaire was very interested in fantasy and wild animal themes, which inspired her to create her own cross stitch charts. Kustom Krafts charts are very colorful and life like. They have a wide range of patterns to choose from. We have 150 of their pattern on our site and add more every time they release a new design. Some of their most recent patterns are: “Beautiful Dreamer“, “Allegory of Painting“, “Miracle“, and “Santa’s Piggybank Kit“.
New counted cross stitch pattern for December from Kustom Krafts.
I am excited to announce a new counted cross stitch pattern by Nora Corbette of Mirabilia called Venetian Opulence (MD99). It has gorgeous colors in her dress. Bright pinks and reds and purples. Mirabilia patterns are always the finest quality. The pattern is done on a Natural Brown 32 count Linen fabric from Wichelt. There is an embellishment pack out for the pattern which includes all the beads and treasures needed for the pattern.
