Today’s post features blackwork stitching which is a unique counted thread technique. I don’t stitch Blackwork myself so this particular pattern was stitched by Dominique. To go with the theme of autumn (which is fitting as I had just released my new fall collection), she created this lovely leaf pattern found in Blackwork Made Easy…
I’m excited to share our first stitch sample, entitled Wintergreen! This particular design proudly features one of my new fall collection colours.

It’s only fitting our third circle features a beautiful Spring-inspired flower applique! If you have been following this project, we’re creating and stitching our own circle sampler, with some inspiration drawn from Sue Spargo’s Toned Down Circle Sampler that was introduced last March. It was a fun stitch along at that time and I believe…

Courtly Checks are a series of 3 ornaments designed by the talented Kam Wenzloff featured in the July/August issue of Needlepoint Now. I know many of you will be familiar with Kam’s painted…
I have had a long-standing interest in Bargello so I knew I wanted to include a Bargello needlework sampler when we started discussing our Mini Sampler series. What is Bargello Needlework Anyways? Bargello is a type of needlepoint consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. The patterns are naturally…
Coincidentally enough, many of the Temari thread ball patterns that I’ve been featuring lately really echo the natural flora and fauna of Asia. This particular Temari ball we’re featuring today is no different. The temari above is titled Jasmine. This pattern as well as many of the other temari I will be sharing on the…
