I think this is the first time I’ve shared a cross stitched dragonfly. I often add dragonflies to my crazy quilting, usually with beads and stitching so it is fun to see one cross stitched. In my previous posts I talked about how all of the cross stitch samples featuring my spring collection colours are…
Any of you who do cross stitch will likely be familiar with Long Dog Samplers. If you are not, make sure you visit Julia’s site by clicking the link below.

Today is my sparkle finale! Earlier this week I shared two samples of sparkle which is a pattern designed by Terry Dryden.

It is a counted thread embroidery traditionally worked with black silk thread on white or off-white linen. In the past, it was particularly popular decorating collars and…

I mentioned previously that if you are a member of the American Needlepoint Guild then you may be familiar with “holed up minis”. If not, these are small projects introduced weekly on the American Needlepoint Guild…
I’ve always been a fan of Art Nouveau. The style was most popular between 1890 to 1910 often seen in architecture. Over the years I’ve seen a number of tile interpretations as well as glass and ceramics. It is characterized by sinuous curves, movement and often asymmetry of lines. The heart above is a…
Why a spring temari? Always fun to share one of Verna’s beautiful temari balls. I called this a spring temari because Verna has used two of the colours I introduced in my spring collection several years ago. Verna and I met one another through a blog I followed several years ago. We are both Canadians…
