When I sent threads to my stitch group earlier in the year I included some bits of ric rac trim to see how they would use this in needlepoint (and specifically the hearts). It took me quite some time to source this particularly ric rac. When I was in San Bernardino a number of years…
This month we are featuring two samples of Scotch Stitch Samplers in our mini sampler series. The mini sampler series was introduced in January of this year featuring one sampler per month. You can find all the previous samplers in the right sidebar under categories – mini samplers. The Colour Complements mini needlepoint sampler series…
Today, my stitch sample is Colour #183. A stunning pattern of purple, perfect for any needlework project. I featured this colour last week in our cross stitch sample! Colour #183 is a blend of various values of rich purples. I find I tend to use this colour a lot in my stitching for the simple…
Each year I dye a Christmas Sampler ideal for those of you stitching Christmas projects. I like to offer a classic green and red as it tends to be the most popular colour choice to celebrate the season. When I think of GREENS I think of evergreen trees, holly, ivy and mistletoe. Thinking of RED I…

As you can see, it’s incredible just how different the design can look just by changing the colours of the floss. This sample is…
Our previous wool applique circle featured softer and more subtle colours. We’re not holding back this time around! The spring wool applique circle that we’re featuring today is bursting with bright and vibrant colours. As the season is starting to change, we felt it was fitting to showcase this one to remind you of spring….
Can you see why this particular Temari ball pattern is called Spindles? Today, we’re taking a closer look at another one of Verna’s beautiful Temari balls. I rarely photograph against a black backdrop but felt this particular design and colour palette was showcased beautifully using the darker background. I did shoot the initial photo using…
When I feature different cross-stitch designs on the blog, new designs are often inspired by an original design. You’d be hard pressed to believe that the pattern you see here takes on different design elements from Garden Stars by Ink Circles. Dominique completely outdid herself by creating a new design using some of the elements…
