I have two wool projects to share today from Kerry. If you have been following me for some time you will know that Kerry is one of my customers who is a prolific stitcher. She recently completed the scissor holders above using a wool base with some simple stitching using cotton floss and size 8…
Returning to posting with some NEEDLEPOINT today. It is always fun to share a project one of my customers has completed. Simone and Laurette are two of my Canadian customers who happen to be sisters as well. They live fairly close to one another and get together on a regular basis to stitch various projects. …
Introducing SEA STAR designed by Susan who is a member of the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria and the canvas stitch group I attend. She is both a talented stitcher and designer. I was thrilled when she offered to design an original pattern highlighting some of my summer collection. The pattern measures 5.25 inches square on…

A lovely example of pattern darning today. In April of this year I attended a stitch in. I had never attended a “stitch in” previously so really was not sure what to expect. I was in for quite a surprise when they were over 40 women gathered at a variety of banquet tables stitching all…
Fleur-de-Lis! Last year I posted about Autumn Kaleidoscope which is a design by Canadian designer, Lorene Salt. At that time my inspiration came from two of the colours in my 2018 summer collection. This colour scheme went on to provide inspiration in my 2019 summer collection with Colour #53. It is a BOLD blend of…
