New Embroidery Designs


This is what I have been busy with this last month ... TREE Cushion Kit and GARDEN Cushion Kit
They are now ready and up on the new website to order for Christmas. I am so pleased with how they have turned out that I am keen to do some more kits on the same theme, though many cry out for more CATS! I will get round to it ... I promise. But then there's all the fish, flowers, birds etc flying around in my head! I just need to go with the flow right now and flowers seem to be what is in my mind. No, not Christmasy, but those who know me also know I am not a huge fan of sticking to seasonal things particularly ... but now I am going to try to blog more when I have worked out how to use the new blog which goes with the website. So much to learn and Christmas does get in the way so! Apologies to those who can cope with all the added stress!

These two new kits, as you can see have been designed to be framed or made into cushion panels. In making the samples I found I really loved playing with the colours and not being too restricted by the stitch map. Have fun playing with your own colour combinations and stitches. That is what they are for after all, to experiment and make them individual to you.

Lovely new photos too by my chum Vanessa at Pixel Kitchen and last week (Feels a lot longer we moved the studio to a proper premises away from the cottage ... so I have my living room back and a very much more efficient work space int which to pack orders and keep the ever increasing stock levels from overwhelming my home. Now I come home to relax a bit (still no internet at the studio so office and admin have clung on at home). More in a day or so ...
