I’m sharing a small spring cross-stitch today. When I introduce my seasonal collections of new colours, I like to share stitched samples so you can “see” how the colours appear when combined and stitched together in a beautiful pattern.

A number of years ago, I started receiving questions about colour combinations for this technique – not only did I research to learn more, I started…
Continuing with my “blue” theme, I’m featuring this beautiful baby blue wool applique circle. It’s soft, spring-inspired and really emphasizes the use of stitching to enhance the look of the design. I always find there’s a bit of hesitation when it comes to incorporating more detailed stitching in applique. There’s only so much you can…
I’ve been featuring lots of bold, daring and colourful Temari ball patterns lately. This Margaret Ludlow-inspired Temari ball named Intertwined uses softer shades, but still looks as stunning as the others that I’ve featured in previous posts! When I first looked at what Verna created, I was enthralled by the beautiful overlapping patterns. Because of…
