For your summer stitching pleasure, Just Nan has introduced a new series called Mouse on a Roll (MOAR). The first one is being released in 2018, with the series continuing in 2019. All scissor rolls in the series will be the same size, and each will feature a guardian mouse. The rolls are designed to hold 3½” or 4” scissors of your choice.

Each of the mouse garden scenes on this first roll features a mouse and a moment in the summer garden. Look for a bird house (with bird) surrounded by lavender flowers; a hanging basket of flowers over a koi pond; sunflowers around a shiny gazing ball and a large blue pot under a rose trellis. Tiny daisy chains separate the scenes which are grounded with bargello grass patterns. The scenes are embellished with white pearl beads and pale lavender pearls, with a gold lotus bead marking the closure. Inside, 4 little helper mice scurry along a garden path to the scissors house which is the padded pocket for the scissors. The verse: “Follow a mouse to the scissors house.”

We are sold out and are not able to obtain more. Lakeside Linens Honeysuckle is now discontinued and we are not able to obtain more.

Want Fabric? If you want to purchase fabric for this design click on the items below to choose your fabric size (price shown is for a full yard). You'll need an Mouse Cut of Vintage Honeysuckle (~5.75x6) and a Mouse Roll Cut of French Lilac (5.75x13.5).

Stitch the roll as one long piece on your linen, form a scissor pocket with the overdyed wool backing, sew on a snap and roll it up! Four mouse garden scenes will show on the outside, the path to the scissors and verse will be inside and your scissors will stand at attention in the middle. Place Daisy Mouse on top of the roll to guard the scissors.
