Hi there Britta! I hope you are enjoying your week so far! Here's what's new this week at Clever Poppy. In today's email: | | On The Blog: Satin Stitch | | Satin stitch is one of my absolute favorite embroidery techniques—it's like painting with thread! This technique uses smooth, flat stitches placed closely together to create a shiny, satin-like surface, perfect for adding vibrant color and texture to your designs. While it might feel a bit tricky for beginners at first, with practice you'll be able to create beautiful results. A key tip? Use directional lines as your guide to keep stitches straight and even. Whether you're filling in shapes or tackling more intricate details, satin stitch will elevate your embroidery projects to the next level! | | | | |
Our Embroidery for Beginners Facebook Group has been super busy with stitchers asking questions, sharing progress and helping each other! Here's some highlights: - Tawn asked the group on what to do about the back showing on her napkin embroidery - read the ideas here.
- Laura shared a creative idea for embroidery design using watercolors - see her masterpiece here.
- Thoughtful stitcher Ashlie made a beautiful gift for her brother, sister-in-law and little baby nephew using our Letter Kits. Admire it here!
- Andrea shared her first "collab" design with her son. Her son drew the artwork and she embroidered it on a cap. Check it here.

| | It's been a really fun week, because I've been setting up my new studio space! Matt and I are now working out of a gorgeous home office cabin at our new place. So my mission was to turn a blank white room into a studio full of charm and colorful inspo. I grabbed some quick snaps - it's like an embroidery rainbow was thrown over my office, and I'm happy about that! I've said to Matt we might now need to add a little color and personality to his half… he suggested a clock. He doesn't know what's coming hehe. So now that it's all set up, I need to refocus on designing new kits, and shooting our Christmas video experiences. Happy times! Have a wonderful week. | | | | |
