On the left, you see a beautiful sampler stitched by Kathy Barnard in my Crescent Colours conversion. On the right, you can see the piece stitched in DMC. What a difference! One is good, the other, even better! Here are conversion prices for the latest Prairie Schooler graphs (graphs retail for $8.00 each). With each conversion, you get full skeins of the Crescent Colours to stitch the graph. (Conversions are not available alone -- only with purchase of fibers):

• Charts $4.50 each (there are six)
• Border chart free
• Border Button Pack $7.50
• 32 ct. Natural Linen cut 30 by 11 $19.80

Bent Creek's 2003 Snapper Series (above) is SO cute done all together. With the purchase of January through November, you'll get December for free. If you'd like to get the fibers, purchase the January through November sets and get December's for free. The snapper pack for the border is an extra $6.50, but the border chart is provided at no charge.

Due to the popularity of September's Kit of the Month (see above), I am making available thread packs/conversion charts for this and several other Prairie Schooler graphs. The thread packs contain full skeins of Crescent Colours for the samplers only -- some colors are called for in the smaller/square pieces that will not be in the thread packs. The Santa pack comes with all colors needed to stitch Santa. Charts and fabric for these pieces are extra -- the graphs are $8.00 ($3.00 for Santa 2006). 1/8th yard of coffee-dyed 28 or 32 ct. (Zweigart-based) linen are $10.00. Frames for the samplers are $35.00. I already have one framed at the shop -- so cute!

Pictured above are the colors for the Winter Wind chart. Just as an FYI, I will not be posting the conversion chart on-line, nor will I send it by e-mail or mail on request.

Christmas Day Pack $24.00

Birdsong I Pack $28.00

Birdsong II Pack $24.00

Good Saint Nick Pack $28.00

Winter Wind Pack $24.00

2006 Santa $16.00
