We also loved seeing a charming frog in thread by Kailie. Guess how long it took her here. Maker Savanna freehanded floral embroidery on a beanie applying what she learned from our beginner kits.

In Our World Hello and happy new year! I hope your 2026 has started on a good note. We've been enjoying a lovely summer break here in New Zealand, spending time with family and friends and soaking up some proper holiday time.    There's been plenty of beach days, boogie boarding, a bit of fishing, board games, reading, and more than a few jigsaws along the way. How good! It's also given me some clear space to think about new patterns - and believe me, there are plenty of ideas quietly brewing that I'm really looking forward to sharing with you.   We're feeling refreshed, recharged, and excited to be back in the studio as we ease into the new year. We can't wait to share what's coming with you soon.   Happy stitching 🧵☀️
