Today’s blog post features something a little different than your usual needlepoint project – this, my readers, is Hardanger! It may look like a simple embroidered table linen, but the history behind Hardanger is rich and spans both place and time. Beautiful needlework like this can be dated back to the Renaissance period. This type…
Gem coloured threads are always very popular in my shop for needlework projects. Blue, green and purple in particular seem to always sell out. It’s clear from this heart design why! The design inspiration for this heart is from the featured heart in the January/February 2019 issue of Needlepoint Now. Some time ago I posted about…
For the month of May, I’d like to introduce the waffle mini needlepoint sampler. If you have been following the blog, then you will remember the mini sampler series was introduced in January. You can find all the previous samplers in the right sidebar under categories – mini samplers. The Colour Complements mini needlepoint sampler…
Let’s talk more about button clusters in crazy quilting today. What can I say, I LOVE them! We all have a button jar! Well, perhaps it is not a jar. I have a bin. Some of you may have a box. Whatever your storage solution, it just always seems we have collections of buttons. Crazy…

I know many of you are wool applique enthusiasts and likely are familiar with Sue Spargo’s Circle Sampler. Last year Sue posted a Toned Down Circle Sampler project that began at the end of March lasting for 90 days. Each day a photo of a stitch, stitch diagram and threads used were posted. I’ve also…
Crazy quilt patterns are primarily used in quilting (as the name suggests, of course!). But one of the best things about needlework crafts is that similar techniques can be applied to create stunning projects! Dominique has been experimenting and has come up with this particular version of crazy quilting. I became interested in crazy quilting…
I always like sharing various samples showcasing different colour combinations to create unique needlepoint patterns and designs. Today we are visiting Southwestern colours. Last year, I posted another sample featuring southwestern colours on a previous blog post. At that time, I mentioned the beautiful colours of the red earth seen in Arizona as well as…
With a title like “square dance”, I have no doubt you are wondering what square dance has to do with needlework! Well, this is the name of this temari design. I can appreciate the movement within the design so aptly name. Always fun to share one of Verna’s beautiful temari balls. One of my requests…
