Today, we’re featuring a gorgeous aqua cross-stitch! Colour 82 is the third colour I dyed in my summer collection. I always like to dye at least one what I would refer to as a “blending” colour. This is generally a monochromatic variation of values that enhance or coordinate with the other colours I dye in…

Today’s video highlights a beautiful blue stitch sample, featuring Colour #14 from my Colour Complements collection. I refer to Colour #14 as my ocean blend since it was inspired by a view I had for many years of the ocean. Being located on the coast, we don’t often get that light blue water that you…
Our bargello sample features yellows this month and incorporates a flame stitch technique to create a beautiful flame pattern. This traditional flame stitch technique is sometimes referred to as Florentine stitch which of course is the foundation for most bargello designs. As the name suggests, the flame stitch technique creates this beautiful fiery pattern. It’s…
