  • Brown Needlepoint

    Our needlepoint sample today showcases a beautiful brown needlepoint pattern. Brown is one of two colours I’m featuring this month. Brown is such a beautiful, organic and earthy shade. As I mentioned previously, I think brown can look beautiful depending on the colours you surround it with. It’s a great neutral shade that can be…

  • Bargello Patterns

    This month, we are featuring a slightly different sample and bargello pattern in our bargello series. We decided to split the stitch area in three sections, very similar to the bargello mini sampler I stitched last year.

The design above…

  • Brown Bargello

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…

  • Mosaic Hexagon Pattern

    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…
