Seaside fun

 

New! Also from Perrette Samouiloff, here is a full color version of the exquisite "Gone fishing" series. It's full of rich detail with every type of fishing gear you can think of. The fish are beautifully rendered too, involving quite a few three-quarter cross stitches but it's really worth the effort because the fish almost come to life with the light on their scales.

Design available both as a large and a smaller pattern.

Poetic inspiration

 

We love this new violet design by Faby Reilly. It reminds us of a poem by the Britsih 18th century poet Jane Taylor:

"Down in a green and shady bed,
A modest violet grew;
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head
As if to hide from view..."

And here's some more exciting news from Faby Reilly. The lovely little needlebook project, that is so popular in the lavender bouquet range is now available in the plum orchid and butterfly series. They are so cute!

You can now stitch a complete set of stitchers accessories in all 3 collections including the scissor case, the needlebook and a biscornu used as a pincushion. You can check out Faby Reilly's excellent tutorial on our free tutorials page. It also naturally comes with any needlebook pattern you buy.

A golden orchid by Faby Reilly

Quite an achievement! With her fantastic eye for rendering flowers in cross stitch, Faby Reilly has now come up with a beautiful orchid, its long stem gently curved to fit onto a biscornu. It's so gorgeous you might rather want to frame your stitched piece to display it in your home. You can vary the background color to match your own interior.

Finally, here's one of our favorite designs, with 6 very cute herb pots including thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley, fennel and sage. They would make fantastic fridge magnets if you stitch them on plastic canvas but can also be stitched on an apron or framed to decorate a kitchen.
