I wanted to share a third example of utilizing straight stitches to add beads or embellish any project. After I completed my previous two blog posts, I thought it would be fun to share a few more since beginners will find using straight stitches very easy to learn. They also provide many different options for…
Bright, bold and colourful — these are just some of the words I would use to describe this orange and red cross-stitch sample.

It features two of our three new fall collection colours and demonstrates how beautiful they look when combined. Hopefully, these colours may inspire your next needlework design!

I hope you will see the endless possibilities when using straight stitches – you can do a lot!

Last year Dominique had mentioned she wanted to experiment with some stained glass hearts. She had an idea but really hadn’t decided how to execute it at that time. 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…
