| | Plus, tons of other inspiring posts are waiting for you... | | This week, Makers Academy member Michelle shared her latest project.
She said: "Today, I finished the stunning Autumn Fox pattern. By practicing the long and short stitch, a technique I do not often use. Sometimes I think it was more of "random stitch" 😄
I also added some dainty florals to match the material I have used on the quilt. I am quite satisfied with the outcome. This piece, stitched in crewel wool, has been added to a quilt for a pram, which will be gifted to the daughter of a close friend later in the year."

We're still deep in festive planning here at Clever Poppy! I've been focused on stitching up our Christmas Stitch Sampler kit, which is going to the cutest way to learn embroidery! I'll share a sneak peek below - it features holly, a candy cane and woven rose baubles.
Bess and I are also working on our upcoming members pattern. It features a technique that allows you to add beautiful colour to your fabric…can you guess what it is?
Have a great week everyone and happy stitching. | | | | |
