Clever Poppy Maker Spotlight

This week we're spotlighting Bridget and her lovely Bee Kind Project.

She said: "What a simply lovely pattern to stitch. After making all the Christmas patterns this was like a breath of fresh air. I used a pale primrose yellow fabric to give the piece an even more spring like look."

What I'm Working On

The past week has been a flurry of activity on many fronts here at Clever Poppy!

We've been filming the step-by-step videos for the upcoming Valentine's Day patterns. Also finalising the Easter designs (they are SOOOOO cute!). Not to mention launching new kits like Moonlit Blooms! It's all go :)

I've also been working on a detailed pattern I dreamt up over the summer break, which features a veggie patch and cute wee garden shed. It's not often I get a chance to stitch something up 'just for fun', so I'm relishing the chance to be creative without pressure. Here's a peek at the design, which veggies are the cutest?!

Have a wonderful week everyone!
