New Releases for Summer!
Summer came early here in Arizona this year and temperatures past 100
degrees are the norm these days. We’re all looking forward to a long,
relaxed Summer vacation - a bit of time in the pool and while we’re in the
air-conditioned house a bit more time to stitch with no preset schedules!
What more could you ask for?
As we launch ourselves headfirst into summer we’ll be introducing 10
wonderful new designs. Copies of these will be off to many of our best
shops VERY soon - so, as I always say, stop in & (excuse the Arizona pun)
get'em while they're hot!
On this page you'll see our newest releases & we really hope that you like
them.

We start by bringing you the next three “months” in our elegant Birthstone
Sampler series - These designs are part of our Teenie Tweenie collection and
each comes with a Cabochon Heart Charm to match the Birthstone for the
month. Newly released are - “July - Ruby & Larkspur,” “August - Peridot &
Gladiolus” & “September - Sapphire & Aster.” They were so fun to design and
the first six months have already been shipped to shops world-wide! Be on the
look-out for the final three months in this series which will be released by
Fall so you’ll be able to collect, stitch and display the entire set.
In our Teenie Kit series we have continued our popular
French-Inspired Alphabet series with the addition of “Q” Is For Queen and
oh, how regal she is! (Keep tuned as more and more letters WILL soon emerge
in this fun new series).
To start the Christmas celebration early this year we also have 2
spectacular new Christmas Ornament designs, an elegant Teenie Kit entitled
“JOY” (a complete kit) & our “Just For Fun Design #2 - “Merry Christmas.”
Both will make great additions to your Christmas Ornament collection. “JOY”
is worked on beautiful Opalescent-Raw linen and the design is loaded with
sparkling Crystal-Clear Paillettes, a large Crème Pearl Heart & acid-resistant blanks which you can stretch your stitching over
to form the lovely shape of this design. “Merry Christmas” is a quickie ornament design
packed in the cutest teeny plastic box and comes with adorable Ruby Chubby
Beads to serve as 3-dimensional berries on the finished design....perfectly
sized for a stocking stuffer!

We also have two beautiful additions to our BISCORNU KIT SERIES! Right now
Biscornus are probably the most trendy item being stitched in the needlework
industry! They're VERY popular and just plain cute with their quirky shapes.
Each kit in this series coordinates with one of The Sweetheart Tree's best
selling decorative scissor fobs - the two new Biscornus are "Spring Blossom
Biscornu," the ninth in this series & our first 2-colored Biscornu. The top
is stitched on White Linen and the bottom on a soft Pink Shade -VERY softly
colored & delicate looking! and it’s the perfect match for a brand new
2-colored fob called "Spring Blossom Fob" - so be sure to order both to have
a perfectly matched set. The second new Biscornu Kit is “Halloween
Pumpkins” and it is a special request from many stitchers looking for an
Autumn themed Biscornu. Darling little pumpkins are stitched on each side
with pumpkin vines, eensy-teensy spiders and for a bit of "Bling" we’ve
added some sparkling Jet Black Paillettes! Finish it off with a set of
Golden Sand buttons in the center and you have the perfect Autumn Biscornu
for your house!
Our Special Edition kits now include a positively spectacular holiday themed
Sampler called “Holly & Hearts Sampler” which is in the deep and luscious
tones of Garnet and Holly Green. The largest Sampler yet, this is full of
fancy stitches which will be fun to do but not too challenging....and don’t
forget, all of our Special Editions are “all-inclusive” kits making them a
really compelling value.

nationally renowned teachers. Further information is listed in our Classes

our new designs and to get a glimpse of the happenings at The Sweetheart
Tree. BUT! - If you really want to be the first on your block to know about
our new releases sign up for our “BE A SWEETHEART” email newsletter program.
