COVEN AT THE BEACH - NeedleworK marketplace 2025

COVEN AT THE BEACH: new for Needlework Marketplace 2025

Who says witches only gather under the moonlight? This summer, our coven has packed their brooms and pointed hats… and headed straight to the seaside! 

Coven at the Beach is the brand-new design by The Primitive Hare, lovingly stitched by Elisabetta on our enchanting new linen Cornwall Sand 30ct. This soft sandy fabric is the perfect backdrop for seaside magic and witchy fun.

To make your stitching even more spellbinding, we’ve conjured a charming set of accessories to match:

a playful thread keeper,

a magical scissor jewel to guard your precious blades

and three hand-painted pins, as useful as they are bewitching.

All these goodies will debut at the Needlework Marketplace this August. Please place your orders through your favorite local needlework shop – all shops already have the details, so you won’t miss the tide!

And for those who prefer a direct deal with the witch herself – I will personally start selling all of these items only after the Marketplace closes at the end of August.

So grab your sunscreen, your stitching, and perhaps a broom for the sand dunes… and join the Coven at the Beach!

2025 NASHVILLE RELEASES: SLOW STITCHER THREAD KEEPER

Let’s be honest: we are all Slow Stitchers from time to time! 🐌 And by combining my own slowness with my love for snails, this thread keeper was born. It doesn’t come with a pattern, it’s a solitary little creature, but one that is incredibly charming and elegant. Honestly, it’s my favorite thread keeper! I truly hope you love it as much as I do.

2025 NASHVILLE RELEASES: COFFEE QUEEN OF THE NEEDLES

 Who would have thought that a simple needle case series could become a timeless classic? Yet, after nearly 12 years of success, here we are with new creations that continue to celebrate our love for cross stitch , tea, coffee, and why not, maybe a little bit of both! 😜

This year, the Queen of the Needles series takes us into a new chapter, where thread meets coffee and tea! ☕🍵 If you’re one of those who can’t live without a steaming cup of tea (or a good coffee, because that works too!), these two new Queens are made just for you. Imagine: a queen with a cup of tea in one hand and a needle in the other, the perfect combination of cross stitch passion and love for hot drinks. 😌✨

Whether you’re a tea lover or a coffee fanatic, these Queens will make the perfect addition to your collection! With over 12 years of history, this series has carved out its identity and built a community of stitching friends who have become an integral part of its success. And who knows? Maybe this year, one of you will recognize yourselves in the new Queen of the Needles, ready to bring their coffee or tea to the right dose to spark creativity!

Of course, to accompany these adorable queens, I couldn’t resist creating a matching set of pins and a Scissor Fob to decorate your stitching basket! And, of course, a themed Smart Thread Keeper had to be part of the collection as well!

Inside your thread keeper, you’ll find five thread drops, but if you’d like more, you can also purchase the extra pack containing 12 additional drops separately. 💛

I can’t wait for these new Queens to come to life in your stitches and become part of your creations. Ready to stitch your own little piece of coffee, tea, and a touch of magic?

2025 NASHVILLE RELEASES: HAUNTED STITCHES: the book

 Good morning, dear friends! ☕✨

Today, I’m starting to show you all the little treasures I’ve prepared for the Nashville market! 🎉 Every day, I’ll reveal just one item, creating a sort of countdown to our beloved event. ⏳💛

For today’s feature, I’m excited to present my book 📖  HAUNTED STITCHES along with a couple of accessories designed to go with it! The book includes six patterns, but so far, only five have been stitched, and only two have been photographed. 📸 No worries—once the rest are ready, I’ll be sure to share them with you!

After many years in this wonderful journey of stitching, I often find myself wanting to explore new creative horizons. As much as I love the work I do, there’s something truly exciting about discovering new talent and sharing it with all of you. So, I’m thrilled to announce a new chapter for The Primitive Hare!

For the first time, I’m delighted to introduce a collaboration with the incredibly talented artist behind The Resting Eagle, Cam. She has graciously agreed to create two adorable designs exclusively for The Primitive Hare. These patterns are now part of our collection and are available only through us, which makes this partnership even more special. 🌟

I’ve always wanted to give visibility to emerging artists, and I truly believe that Cam’s work deserves a wider audience. These designs, like all of our creations, are very close to my heart, and I hope you’ll find as much joy in stitching them as I did in bringing them into the The Primitive Hare family.

These two beautiful designs are included in this new book, I designed the other four. I’m excited to see how this collaboration will unfold and how Cam’s wonderful art will be embraced by all of you.

This is just the beginning of a new initiative I hope to continue for years to come: showcasing the work of other talented artists and sharing their unique visions with all of you. While I may not be a household name, after 15 years in the business, I feel it’s the perfect time to help lift up other artists and colleagues who deserve recognition. And let’s not forget – there’s always something new to learn from each other, no matter where we are in our creative journey.

To accompany this charming little book (trust me, it’s absolutely adorable! 😍), I’ve created a brand-new Smart Thread Keeper!  Just like the ones from my previous collection, this one also comes with five thread drops. If you’d like more, you can also purchase the extra pack containing 12 additional thread drops. 

To stitch the patterns in this book, I’ve also created a new fabric, which will be available in 30 count and 40 count. Over time, I’ll be introducing the same fabric in 18 count Aida and 35 count linen as well.

In the coming days, I’ll be revealing the other four patterns, all finished and ready to be photographed and shared! 📸✨

Happy stitching, everyone! 💖

BETSY ROSS FLAG

Hello sweeties. This is the second pattern of my new collection. It's BETSY ROSS FLAG. It has been stitched with Gentle Art threads on my Constitution Fabric. Elisabetta did a fantastic job! Thanks sweetie!!!

The stitch count of this pattern is: 103 x 152

Now, that I see it finished, I think I'd have stitched the States name on the red stripes in white.... but this is only my humble suggestion LOL. originally I wanted to add some buttons right under the 'we the' words... but then I forgot. Oh my I can be so easily distracted lol lol lol... If you'd decide to stitch this pattern following my suggestions please share a pic with me! I'm curious!!!

For this pattern I released a new thread keep with a very iconic image of Betsy Ross sewing the flag, THE FIRST FLAG THREAD KEEP is available on my Etsy too.
