Surprise visit
If you're very quiet and you look carefully, you might spot these winter visitors. The squirrel looks a bit startled, the birds continue to happily gorge on berries, and a pair of white rabbits look at each other, as if figuring what to do next.
An alphabet is encased in the center of the pattern but you can easily customize you work and replace it with your own text. This delicate piece is designed by Perrette Samouiloff and stitched using a gorgeous range of DMC Variations floss.

Christmas comes in many shapes with Perrette Samouiloff
Have you ever mounted your stitched pieces accordion style? It's a great way of displaying your mini motifs because they stand up on their own and look great on a mantlepiece. Perrette Samouiloff's Red card-size motifs are just perfect for that. You can also vary and mount them in twos or threes using the same principle.
More Christmas Ornaments is a complement to the popular 8 Christmas ornament motifs. It comes with a free tutorial for mounting the ornaments and making the sleek ribbon tassel. The tuturial can also be downloaded from our free tutorials page.
Last but not least is a Christmas banner, scandinavian style. We just love the reindeer blanket and the children's knitted sweaters!

Grow you own vegetable patch
We were delighted to receive this new pattern by Perrette Samouiloff because it triggered so many project ideas. Each little motif is easy to place according to your own constraints, depending what you want to stitch. You can make a recipe book cover, or space out the motif on a shopping bag (great for the farmer's market!). If you've got little ones around, you can stitch different baby bibs and place mats (they will all fight for the carrots!). Or you could stitch it as it is, beautiful in any case.
