We’re almost done unveiling the brand new canvases featured in this weekend’s Zoom-bellishment… and today’s is an absolute treat. Say hello to It Takes a Village by Zecca—a canvas that’s bursting with color, personality, and birds with serious main character energy.
This 13″ x 18″ design features a stylized tree filled with quirky birds: owls with attitude, birds in love, baby royalty in a nest, and a perfectly awkward stork thrown in for good measure. It’s colorful, it’s weird (in the best Zecca way), and it stitches like a dream.

🧵 I just finished writing the brand new stitch guide for class—and it’s packed with fun techniques to bring this canvas to life. Every bird gets its moment. Every leaf and background element has a little twist. You’re going to have so much fun with this one.
💫 Kits are available now and can ship soon-ish (we’re just waiting on a few threads as usual).
This weekend’s Zoom-bellishment class is full (yay!), and all 11 canvases we’ve been featuring this week will be explored during the event—along with tips, stitch breakdowns, and lots of shared inspiration.
It’s too late to join this weekend’s class, but if you’re loving these canvases and thinking, “Next time, I’m in!”—you totally can be. ✨
🎉 October Zoom-bellishment is coming! Canvas choices will be posted next week, and registration is open!

One more new design to share tomorrow… and it’s an adorable one from Johanna Virtanen!
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. 

If you are reading this post on the blog great! Make sure you are signed up for the mailing list so that you don’t miss anything Bedecked and Beadazzled. Did you know we are also on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube? Even more places to follow the fun. xo again.
