    Stash Buster Bargello

    In January I introduced our bargello series and today I’d like to share the second sample, our stash buster bargello stitch design!

  • Spring Cross Stitch

    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…

  • Baby Blue Wool Applique

    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…

  • Intertwined

    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…
