French knot mastered? Why not add the colonial knot to your embroidery toolkit?

These knots are similar, but the colonial knot has its own little technique to learn. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll have another way to add tiny dots and texture to your stitching projects.

There’s a new bird in town!

I couldn’t resist adding another fairy-wren to the collection, and this time it’s the Superb Fairy-wren.

This cross stitch kit launches in just a couple of weeks, on October 6 and you can pre-order now to add him to your stitching pile.

Learning embroidery is a lot more fun when your practice piece is this pretty!

Our Heart Sampler features fourteen different stitches, so you’ll learn new skills, build your confidence, and create something beautiful that you’ll want to display when you’re finished.

I’ve been on a bit of a Jane Austen binge lately, and I’ve also wanted to host a stitchalong for what feels like forever. So I thought, why not combine the two?

And so, the Pride and Prejudice stitchalong was born.

If you’re an Austen fan, a cross stitcher, or ideally both, I’d love for you to join me.

I’ll be sharing more details soon, but in the meantime comment STITCHALONG to join the waitlist.

I’m working on a new embroidery project, and I’m planning to have it ready for The Finders Keepers Market in Melbourne next month.

I have the design, I’m preparing the fabric, and I think I’m decided on the thread palette. (Although I never really know whether it’s right untilI start stitching.) and now comes the fun part, deciding which stitches to use and seeing it come to life.

Want to see how it turns out? Follow along.

After a very foggy start yesterday morning and an 8 hour drive, I’m at The Design Exchange Market this weekend with lots of other fab makers and designers.

We’ll be here 10am till 3pm today and Sunday the Mining Exchange in Ballarat.

Come by, meet the makers and find some beautiful goodies.

So many kit designs, where do you even start?

I’ve been restocking a stack of these kits for The Design Exchange Market in Ballarat this Saturday and Sunday at the Mining Exchange, and I can’t pick a favourite. It changes every time I look through the pile.

Because the colours always look different in person, you should come by the market if you’re in the area.

Tag your Ballarat friends so they know to come find us.
