The entire contents of the September 2024 Retreat In A Box, as listed below:
Wuthering Heights Needleminder
Artwork By The Black Needle Society
Don't let your needle wander the English Moores aimlessly like Cathy. Use this needleminder, featuring a quote from Wuthering Heights to keep it close by.
Gothic Romance Thread Trio
Dyed By BeStitchMe
To be a Gothic Heroine, you must have the finest silks. That's why we asked Brandy to create this gorgeous silk palette for our September Society Stitchers!
Penny Dreadful Mug
Artwork By BookMark'd Tattoos
Do you believe in curses, demons, and monsters? Katie was inspired by the TV Show "Penny Dreadful" to create this mug design. Particularly by the character of Vanessa Ives, and the iconography of scorpions surrounding her.
Gothic Bouquet Cameo Charm
Curated By The Black Needle Society
Flowers may die, but this gorgeous cameo charm will last for many years to come. You can string it on a chain or ribbon for a necklace, attach magnets to make a needleminder, or attach beads and a jewelry claw to make a scissor fob.
Gothic Heroine Fingerless Gloves
Curated By The Black Needle Society
To be a proper Victorian Gothic Heroine, you must have a pair of gloves. According to Victorian etiquette rules, women were to “never go out without gloves.” Slip these on to add a dash of drama to your stitching attire. They're also perfect to slap in the face of a dastardly villain.
Crimson Peak Vinyl Sticker
Artwork By The Black Needle Society
"Beware Crimson Peek!" Though it's owner may be devastatingly handsome and charming, we hear it's not a nice place for trusting heiresses. But you can still appreciate his pretty words on this vinyl sticker inspired by the original film by Guillermo del Toro.
Powerful Notebook
Artwork By Maria Zabaikina
This notebook features one of the most iconic quotes from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. We love this empowering sentiment, even if it was Frankenstein's Monster who says it in the original text. Fun fact: Mary Shelley was only 19 when Frankenstein was published.
Curtain Call Fabric
Dyed By Lapin Loops
Talk about drama! Megan certainly captured the dramatic flair of the Phantom with this The Phantom of the Opera inspired fabric. We love how she was inspired by the lush red of the theatre curtains to create this color especially for our September stitchers!
Udolpho At Midnight Cross Stitch Pattern
Designed By Summer House Stitche Workes
It's time to spend some time in an Italian Castle! But we promise we won't lock you away and terrorize you like Emily while you work on this gorgeous custom pattern from Beth Seal. We recommend a full immersion experience while stitching this piece. Pull out an audiobook of The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe, or Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and maybe a cup of something hot to calm your nerves!
