On The Blog:  Long and Short Stitch Long and Short Stitch is a filler-style technique that can be used to fill in large shapes with a lovely textured effect. This stitch works really well in large areas as an alternative to Satin Stitch.   In this blog post I go over two different methods for learning this technique without frustration. I hope it helps you! READ THE BLOG POST

Clever Poppy Maker Spotlight This week we're spotlighting clever maker Michelle McCarthy. She shared her beautifully completed project of The Chicken's Cottage by the talented guest designer, Manon Klerks! She said, "Just finished this one, so sweet. I have 4 chickens so this one was a must for me. ". Isn't this so incredible?! From the colours, to the fabric to the bound hoop and little bow. I just love it all! In Our World Things are busy on the work front, as I finalise everything for our fall and halloween patterns, plus get the ball rolling on festive patterns! I've also been having a lot of fun designing some new needle minders - watch this space!   I'll keep this short because I'm in the middle of shooting a video tutorial. It's all about filling a pumpkin with satin stitch. I know this can be a challenge, so I'm hoping my tutorial will be super useful.   Have a great week everyone!   Happy Stitching!
