Pre-order: Quiet as a Church Mouse (ships late September)

This modern cross stitch design was inspired by a brass candle holder that I have in my kitchen. It is shaped like a mouse, and I’ve always found it fun and whimsical. It brought to mind the expression of being “quiet as a church mouse,” and the idea of silence and reverence during the holiday season. The still bells are a play on the idea of being quiet as well, with stars and snow sparkling in the window beyond adding a touch of holiday magic.

‼️ IMPORTANT preorder information, please read: 

This is an upcoming release at Needlework Marketplace, held on 21-24 August.

✉️Shipping estimate: we expect to dispatch Needlework Marketplace releases in late September.*

✨Please place marketplace preorders separately from any in-stock products, unless you are willing to wait for the whole order to ship together.✨

*When we place orders at Needlework Marketplace, the majority of new designs come from the US. Orders are sent to a central location before being shipped internationally (saving postage and keeping costs down for you!), but this comes with a wait. Based on previous years, we expect delivery around the end of September. This estimate will be shorter for items from UK designers or designers where it is cost-effective to receive direct shipment, however, please be aware that your whole order will be held until it is complete, regardless of whether some items arrive earlier than others. If you wish to receive orders as and when they arrive, please place multiple orders - any overpayment of shipping will be refunded once orders are dispatched.
