Today’s wool flower from our Circle Sampler series takes on a cooler contrast compared to the last applique circle featuring a warmer palette in last month’s blog post. If you are new to our blog (welcome!), we have been featuring a variety of different floral wool applique designs, using bright colours, different stitching techniques and…
The bold temari ball design featured today is an absolute showstopper – Empress! You could say that I’m certainly impressed with Empress (I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist!). I’ve always admired those brave enough to do needlepoint on a black canvas despite having yet to try stitching on black myself. I also see how much of…
When I sent threads to my stitch group earlier in the year I included some bits of ric rac trim to see how they would use this in needlepoint (and specifically the hearts). It took me quite some time to source this particularly ric rac. When I was in San Bernardino a number of years…
I’m featuring a new floche sampler today! Earlier this year when I introduced my floche, I offered a few samplers at the time. These proved to be very popular and sold out quickly. What is in our Floche Sampler? Our new floche sampler consists of 6 skeins of floche, each skein measuring 10 meters or…
This month we are featuring two samples of Scotch Stitch Samplers in our mini sampler series. The mini sampler series was introduced in January of this year featuring one sampler per month. You can find all the previous samplers in the right sidebar under categories – mini samplers. The Colour Complements mini needlepoint sampler series…
Today, my stitch sample is Colour #183. A stunning pattern of purple, perfect for any needlework project. I featured this colour last week in our cross stitch sample! Colour #183 is a blend of various values of rich purples. I find I tend to use this colour a lot in my stitching for the simple…
Each year I dye a Christmas Sampler ideal for those of you stitching Christmas projects. I like to offer a classic green and red as it tends to be the most popular colour choice to celebrate the season. When I think of GREENS I think of evergreen trees, holly, ivy and mistletoe. Thinking of RED I…
Purple is a stunning colour to use on any needlework project, but especially when creating beautiful cross-stitch patterns. This post is an excellent example of that. This lovely floral pattern is part of the ‘Garden Stars’ pattern. The entire pattern is designed by Ink Circles. The design has lots of circular motifs, incorporating shapes reminiscent…
What Is Slow Stitching? If you are not familiar with slow stitching, it is stitching using a needle and thread in the same way you’d use a paintbrush. It takes on more of a leisurely pace in terms of creating something beautiful. It’s about creating art BUT enjoying the process rather than worrying about the…
Previously, we’ve featured several cross-stitch samples from the pattern Garden Stars by Ink Circles. Our post today features another of these designs using a stunning orange blend cotton floss, Colour #66. As you can see, it’s incredible just how different the design can look just by changing the colours of the floss. This sample is…
