Well… This Escalated Quickly
Sometimes a canvas just sits patiently on the website, waiting for its moment. And sometimes? It finally gets the attention it deserves. ✨ Enter Cat Fight by David Galchutt At first glance, it’s all Victorian elegance—beautiful gowns, elaborate hairstyles, and proper society manners. But look a little closer… and things have clearly taken a turn. […]

Something new for your stitch library
If you like having options when you sit down to stitch, you’re going to want to take a look at what’s coming next. Volume 5 of Mary Legallet’s Whimsical Stitches series is on the way, and this one focuses on a category we all deal with—backgrounds.

They Came. They Saw. They Ruled the Roost.
And just like that…the Garden Mafia has wrapped. What started with a little shimmer in the borders turned into a full-on cast of characters, each one with a personality all their own. And honestly? They delivered. Lesson two was all about the birds — and this is where things really got interesting. Each one is […]
