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…

Any of you who do cross stitch will likely be familiar with Betsy Morgan. Betsy is well known in the needlework community, especially for her charming stitching…
Do you like diamonds in your stitching? Over the last number of months I have shared a variety of heart patterns. Hopefully these are inspiring you to experiment with some different designs and not just hearts. Many of these designs are custom meaning there is no specific pattern.

Are you a fan of lime green? It is one of my favourite colours to use in my stitching. I had not used it much until a couple of years ago when I stitched my Autumn Kaleidoscope. The pattern was designed in an autumn palette of colours but I chose to stitch it in a…
