This month I am introducing my summer collection, featuring one of my favourite colours – LIME GREEN! I’ve had a passion for lime green since I started needlework. While lime green is most often seen as the colour of the skin of a lime, it has always given me the impression of freshness, liveliness and…
This month I am sharing another of my favourite stitches, the herringbone stitch. This is the first stitch I learned when I started crazy quilting and still by far my favourite!

I’m always thrilled to see a project stitched with Colour Complements threads and today’s post features a contempoary cross-stitch design that uses traditional stitching methods BUT with a twist which I’ll explain further below. This pattern was designed by my friend, Teresa. She has an Etsy shop called Screaming Heart Design where she offers unique…

We often associate the colour yellow with warmth and sunshine so let us welcome warmer weather this month and celebrate this sunny, happy shade in our Colour Feature Series. When I think of yellow, I think of sunflowers. I love seeing these beauties in the floral departments. They are such large and striking flowers. Do…
Who says you need to be an expert needle worker to create a stunning design? Today’s heart demonstrates the use of very simple stitches. I have talked about using bands in designs previously and this is another great example. While there is no specific pattern used, this is an adaptation of a design featured in…
Last month I mentioned that I really love the Chevron stitch so I decided to share the second chevron stitch variation in our seam treatment series. Start by tracing the seam using one of Kathy Shaw’s templates offered in her Stunning Stitches For Crazy Quilts book. Don’t forget, this is a great resource if you…
Today’s blog post is a special one! I wanted to highlight just how versatile colour palettes can be, specifically one including purple when using them in different needlework designs. Both cross-stitch designs can be found in the Baroque pattern by Ink Circles. Despite using the same colour, both designs demonstrate differences in appearance. Stitch Sample…
