New! Beginner's Floral Bundle

I'm excited to share with you our latest bundle! You will know that flowers feature in many of our Clever Poppy patterns, so I wanted to create a bundle that is ideal for honing floral stitching skills.

This bundle would make an excellent gift for anyone new to their embroidery journey, or for more experienced stitchers. You could also split up the bundle, and keep a kit for yourself!

Clever Poppy Maker Spotlight

This week we're spotlighting clever maker Natasha Cane. She said, "Just realised that we are now six months into the year so thought I would look at what I have finished so far. I am loving everything 💕 I just posted a reel on my instagram if anyone wants to check it out!"

Wow, you have been busy Natasha! What an incredible collection you've created so far. I can't wait to see what you make in the next six months!

Have Your Say

This week I'd love to throw the ball in your court and ask for some feedback. Because it's that time of year, when I start to design upcoming patterns for fall and Christmas. If you're on the 'gram, you'll notice how the embroidery world absolutely lights up later in the year, and your feeds become full of fall, then halloween and then festive patterns. I really want to make sure I design patterns you're super excited to stitch.

So tell me, what topics or themes would you like to see? E.g. pumpkins? Autumn leaves? Squirrels? What is your fall vibe? How about Halloween? And when it comes to Christams, do you like a white Christmas vibe? Traditional red and green? Cute Christmas pets? Modern colours?

‌Hit me with the top 3 things that jump to your mind! There is no right or wrong, all feedback on pattern topics and ideas is really helpful for me to throw into the mix. Just reply to this email with your thoughts!

Thanks so much and have a wonderful week!

Happy Stitching!
