Bright, bold and colourful — these are just some of the words I would use to describe this orange and red cross-stitch sample. I love using these colours because they give any project that hit of colour. This is especially true when you’re working with a spring or summer palette. On the other hand, I…
Today we’re featuring how to create this beautiful, bright and floral wool applique. This is perfect to use for spring-inspired projects or even projects for kids! I love the colour combination of this applique. It’s clear that the main colours are on the warm side of the colour spectrum. Think golden yellows, coral oranges and…
This month’s needlepoint bargello sample features a selection of fall colours, specifically brown to create this brown bargello stitch sample. I used to think brown was dull! Why would you want to use brown other than for trees or branches in a painted canvas?! Well, I’ve changed my tune through the years and find that…
Our mitten this month features the use of these fun, mosaic hexagon patterns. Several years ago, Susan stitched a needlepoint sample with this same pattern featured on Janet Perry’s Nuts About Needlepoint blog. Janet replicated the pattern based on Hexi-puffs using a mosaic stitch hence mosaic hexagons! Since it is September here on the West…

It features two of our three new fall collection colours and demonstrates how beautiful they look when combined. Hopefully, these colours may inspire your next needlework design! Most of you will be familiar with the American…

I hope you will see the endless possibilities when using straight stitches – you can do a lot! As I did previously with the herringbone stitch, I will be sharing different examples of seam treatments…
Last year Dominique had mentioned she wanted to experiment with some stained glass hearts. She had an idea but really hadn’t decided how to execute it at that time. Since she had been stitching a number of cross stitch samples using my threads, she had accumulated quite a collection of leftover length of flosses. Her…
Today we are featuring another beautiful stitch pattern created with metallic thread! I don’t know about you, but I love to add metallic threads to my projects. It’s a different needlepoint variation from what we have featured in the past, but it’s beautiful, nonetheless! Earlier this year, we featured a pattern entitled, Asymmetrical Copper designed…
