Here's what's new this week at Clever Poppy.  In today's email: On the blog split stitch Helpful Highlights include some game-changing tips and hacks Giveaway reminder Your invitation to stitch with Julie! Member spotlight on Bridget and her Progress not Perfection piece. What I'm Working On On The Blog:  Split Stitch Split stitch gives a really even overall effect, which makes it a top pick for outlines and stitching words! It can also be used as a cool filler stitch, which builds up quite a textured overall effect. Split stitch is also a very forgiving stitch, which makes it perfect for beginners! Read my blog post to learn how to use this technique.  READ THE BLOG POST

Clever Poppy Maker Spotlight This week we're spotlighting talented stitcher Bridget. She shared her latest project, a 'Progress Over Perfection' pattern that she customized for a 6 inch hoop! She said, "I needed to repeat this mantra over and over again while I stitched this pattern.I also added the chain stitch boarder as I hadn't done much chain stitch and wanted to practice this stitch. I used a purple variegated floss and changed some of the colours from the original pattern." What I'm Working On Wow we are so thrilled with how much you all love our new pattern launches - floral alphabet and autumn leaf stitch sampler! I want to say a massive thank you for all of your orders and positive feedback.   In terms of upcoming projects, today I am finalising a really cute snowman pattern. It even features some wintery florals, stay tuned to see how it turns out!   Happy Stitching!
