As the holidays approach I always like to dye a Christmas Sampler for those of you stitching various Christmas projects. I have chosen classic red and green this year for the simple reason it remains the most popular colour combination. Yes, there are always new trends but red and green is number one. Every holiday…
In retrospect, it may have been a good idea to stitch February Valentine in February! Oh well, there is a wee bit of red in this sample. This is a small blackwork pattern designed by Laura Perin as one of her freebies. If you haven’t visited Laura’s site and blog then you are in for…
Introducing my new fall collection of colours. Four new colour combinations. For many years I was fortunate to experience exquisite sunsets. Personally I feel the fall season offers some of the best. Some exhibit beautiful combinations of pinks, red violets and purples while others offer reds, yellows and oranges. I am an early riser so…
Along came a spider……. Well, it is the season! With Halloween approaching, I’m starting to see some seasonal décor in the shops. Now here in Canada we don’t celebrate Halloween as much as my American friends. We don’t have nearly the decorations available and tend to be far more minimalistic in our approach. Do any…

I want to chat a bit about embroidery thread samplers. If you have been a customer for some time then you will be familiar with my samplers. I started dyeing these as I like to experiment with different thread types AND I felt they provided an opportunity for customers to try some of my products…
It will come as no surprise at all that I LOVE playing with colours! Recently I was creating a palette that I thought would work for one of my stitch group members. Susan is currently designing a project for publication next year. She and I were “playing with colours” to see what might work and…
Yes, it is ALL ABOUT COLOUR today! Bold beautiful colour. I love purple – do you? Purple is often associated with royalty, luxury and power. Here it is combined with Colour #30 which is a bold blend of yellow, orange and pink. I think it POPS! What do you think? Dominique has stitched this sample…
Last week I posted the first of my Crystal Waters posts showcasing my new spring collection of colours. If you recall, the ladies who stitch up my samples chose one pattern. I requested each stitcher use the same colour combination but placed in different locations in the design. By doing this it really shows how…
