Johanna Virtanen Brings the Whimsy, and We Bring the Stitchy Magic
We made it! Today’s the last in our series of new canvas reveals for July’s Zoom-bellishment class, and we’re ending on a high note—with a moonlit giggle in the garden.
🌙🐶✨ Say hello to Dog and Bird in Blue Garden by Johanna Virtanen. This brand-new 8″ x 11″ canvas is a burst of happiness from corner to corner. You’ve got a perky blue pup, a sassy little bird, and a riot of rainbow florals under a glowing full moon. It’s a folk-art fantasy wrapped in color, joy, and a whole lot of stitch potential.
And yes—the canvas comes complete with a brand-new stitch guide by me! I pulled out all the stops for this one. Think textured stitches, sparkly highlights, clever shading, and a few unexpected surprises. Every part of this design gave me an excuse to play with thread and technique.
💫 Kits are available now and will ship soon-ish—just waiting on a few sparkly bits and bobs.
While it’s too late to join this weekend’s Zoom-bellishment, you can sign up for October’s class! Canvas choices will be posted next week, and trust me—you’ll want in.
If this adorable duo is calling your name, now’s the time to order your kit and start planning your own magical garden party.

Thanks for following along with our new canvas reveals all week! Eleven fabulous projects, and every one packed with joy. I can’t wait to dive into them with the class this weekend—and hopefully with YOU in October!
Mystery Class News
Sunday was the first day of the Bunny Love class. Designed by Lane Tree Lily this one is so cute and so different from David’s Robotic Uprising, handpainted on 18ct, with big blocks of color just begging for fabulous stitches and fun threads. We’ll stitch the bunny in two short Zoom sessions: today and hopefully, August 10, 1–3pm ET. Sign up here to reserve your spot or order a kit.
Our current mystery class is Robotic Uprising by David Galchutt. We are five classes in. The sixth class will be as soon as threads arrive. Stay tuned for that date. All classes are on zoom! We have canvases available. I promise this is a fun stitch. Here’s the link to join the Uprising.
Not to be left out, we have a fabulous Zecca canvas, Window of Opportunity starting as a mystery in May. This one won’t be on zoom — it’s a series of kits mailed straight to your door. Each panel of this triptych fits on 12×15 bars—easy to hold, but when framed? A total showstopper. Here’s the link for this one.
