  • Golden Cross-Stitch Design

    Today’s golden cross-stitch design sample features colours that are reminiscent of vast wheat fields spanning the Prairie Provinces – a motif found in Garden Stars design by Ink Circles. If you have been following my blog, you may have seen this particular pattern mentioned in other articles. The design that I’m featuring today possesses lots…

  • Star Mitten

    I’d like to introduce our star mitten today! This is the fourth mitten in our Twelve Months of Mittens series. You will find all the mittens under Twelve Months of Mittens in categories so make sure you check them out. Susan came up with our mitten series late last year when she proceeded to stitch…

  • Blue Arrows

    While this Barbara Seuss-inspired Temari Ball is called Blue Arrows, the colour scheme shows orange arrows instead so perhaps I should have titled the post, orange arrows. While the photograph displays the colours well, I personally feel they are absolutely brilliant “in person”. In truth, many of these designs featured on the blog really look…

  • Pink Blend
