There are some canvases that just sing, and this one? It chirps, tweets, and trills in technicolor harmony.
Birds! by the incredibly talented Helen Heins Peterson is one of those pieces that delights from the first stitch to the last French Knot. With my stitch guide in hand and the ever-so-talented Jamie at the needle, this canvas came to life in the most joyful way.
Jamie said it best — this was her favorite canvas to stitch ever. And when Jamie says that, you know it’s serious! Each time she finished one whimsical little bird, she couldn’t wait to meet the next. Every feathered friend brought its own personality, color palette, and charm.



The result? A stitched masterpiece full of life, texture, and happy vibes. Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or just looking for your next dopamine hit on canvas, this is one to add to your stash.

Designed by Lane Tree and Lily who designed Queen’s Court, Best Friends and Dancing Queens, you know you love all of those, this is her Bunny Love canvas! This will be our next Mystery Class! I’m always doing something different in each class. That’s what keeps this fun. This canvas couldn’t be more different than our current class Robotic Uprising by David Galchutt. It’s tiny 6″ x 8″ handpainted on 18ct. It has large areas of one color just asking to be filled with a fun stitch. You know I am going to use fun thereads. If you’ve thought about joining a mystery class this could be the perfect one. We will stitch the bunny in two short lessons, July 20 and August 10 from 1 pm – 3pm on zoom. Sign up soon to reserve your spot. Here’s the link to sign up.

Not to be left out, we have a fabulous Zecca canvas, Window of Opportunity starting as a mystery in April. This won’t be a class on zoom, it will simply be a series of kits sent to your home. I promise it’s going to be grand! Each panel of this triptych fits nicely on 12 x 15 bars. Nothing to big to hold, but once framed it will be a show stopper. Here’s the link for this one.
