We’re officially two classes deep into the Robotic Uprising Mystery Class, and let me tell you—Lesson 2 brought the drama, the dimension, and the deliciously red robot! We dove into stitching most of the red bot (you know the one—with that smug little smirk that says, “I know I look good”). But we didn’t stop […]

Well, actually a kimberly design is the big deal. Make sure everyone knows you too are a Big Deal with a Wordy Small sign. It’s all pretty in pink! This is the fourth in the series of Wordy Smalls by a kimberly design. These are a crazy fun concept. They are quick projects measuring only […]
Who needs a bunny?
Sometimes you just need a bunny to make you smile, or to put in someone’s Easter Basket. I just added these three cuties to the website. All are enamel and have nice strong magnets to hold your needles. You can see them all here. The website will probably quote some silly price for shipping. What […]
Organizing Fun
We all love organizing our threads and projects almost as much as stitching, right? We have new thread bags and project bags that are just so cute I had to share. If you have taken a mystery class in the last few years you know your lesson one threads come in super cute zipperred thread […]
New Mattye Hamilton
Mattye is a Baltimore Girl and her art is so unique. These are great canvases for light stitching and playing with overdyes. We’ve added a few new canvases to the assortment. They are all approximately 6 x 9 on 18ct. I’m feeling very gifty so thought I would showcase these. You can see her complete […]

Want to see what we did?
Our first lesson of Halloween Cruise Mayhem was last Saturday. It is a bohemoth of a canvas. Rebecca Wood outdid herself on this one. It has sooooo much going on. We are tackling it in 4 lessons with 3 months in between. That gives you time to stitch away. Our first lesson focused on the […]

Are you ready for your next adventure?? a kimberly design continues to amaze and delight us with her ideas. Join us June 14th and 15th on zoom and Stitch Outside the Box. This glorious abstract is so fun. There are no rules but there is a guide so if random makes you seize up, worry […]
Zippy Zappy Sky
Sunday was the first lesson of Robotic Uprising. It was an easy peasy lesson. Not a lot of drama. We stitched a little here and a little there. Just enough to start laying a foundation. There’s so much more to come. You know I always start with the background, it needs to be light so […]
Egos Framed
Kimberly of a kimberly design always has an idea or 50 up her sleeve. One of her bigger ideas was needlepointing a series of portraits in her style. She painted and stitched 6 different ladies. There may be more in the future but this is an amazing body of work. Each of the ladies is […]
Tiles
The simplest of canvases, the most awesome of finishes…. Catherine requested this canvas, Teal Flower Tiles, for Zoom-bellishment a while ago. She stitched it in no time and it was off to the framer. I think the results are amazing. Designed by zecca this is a relatively simple canvas but not without challenges. The design […]
It’s a Courtly Finish
Sometimes it’s fun to share variations on finishing that are almost the same but somewhat different. Most of the canvases I design stitchguides for are best as framed pieces. You know my love of big open stitches and fussy details that bring the art to life. Here’s Queen’s Court by Lane Tree and Lily finished […]
Outlining for Depth
Canvases speak to us for so many reasons, the subject, the colors, the style. Sometimes they speak to me because they give me a chance to experiment. Vibrant Beauty spoke to me for all these reasons. I love the colors. I love the watercolor-painterly feel. I also saw an opportunity to experiment with depth and […]
What Did I Add?
The other day, I annouced that we were adding a Spring Zoom-bellishment class. Somehow I found a weekend. I’m not sure how, but I did. Class is filling up nicely and it is shaping up to be a fun event. I’ve added two more canvases to the mix. Some options previously shown are sold out, […]

I found a weekend. Somehow I had an open weekend on the calendar. We can’t have that, can we? Let’s fill it up with a Spring Zoom-bellishment class! Embellishment classes are our favorite classes. Everyone has a different canvas and a super cool stitchguide! How fun is that? You pick the canvas; we do the […]
Looking for a New Project?
Spring may or may not be in our future. It’s 20 degrees here today. A friend said it was negative 10 where she lives this morning. That makes for perfect stitching weather. Are you in the market for a new project, but not sure what you are looking for? A great place to start is […]

Revolt
Our next Mystery Class is Robotic Uprising from David Galchutt. This is a companion to Revolt! Revolt really did stitch up amazing. There are so many little details.
