Our mitten this month features the use of these fun, mosaic hexagon patterns. Several years ago, Susan stitched a needlepoint sample with this same pattern featured on Janet Perry’s Nuts About Needlepoint blog. Janet replicated the pattern based on Hexi-puffs using a mosaic stitch hence mosaic hexagons! Since it is September here on the West…

Since she had been stitching a number of cross stitch samples using my threads, she had accumulated quite a collection of leftover length of flosses. Her…
Today we are featuring another beautiful stitch pattern created with metallic thread! I don’t know about you, but I love to add metallic threads to my projects. It’s a different needlepoint variation from what we have featured in the past, but it’s beautiful, nonetheless! Earlier this year, we featured a pattern entitled, Asymmetrical Copper designed…
This fall-inspired bargello pattern was sparked by the beautiful sunsets that we experience here on the west coast! While this part of the world gets its fair share of rain, the rare day we are blessed with sunshine also means that the horizon puts on an AMAZING show of colours the moment the sun sets….
