Replanting a potted Tulip
The sun is out and the children are busy with an all important task: replanting the potted tulip somewhere in the garden where the bulb can settle down in the ground, gather strength and sprout again after a long winter's rest. Where shall we put it? Among the irises and the primroses? Teeming with life, this cross stitch pattern is brought to you by Perrette Samouiloff.

Enjoying the outdoors with Samantha Purdy
Sweet little patterns celebrating the simple pleasures of life: enjoying breakfast outdoors, growing seedlings and enjoying coffee with a friend seated in the garden. We love the "two pictures in one" effect of the later, with a liliputian scene and oversize spring flowers, as if expressing the joy of being outdoor after a long winter (our designer is from Canada!).

Grow your 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.

Seed packets - in cross stitch
This unique seed packet design is also full of creative possibilities. Make sure you mount them as actual packs, so they have a dimensional effect. Fill with actual seeds and use as a gift for a gardener friend. Or make a decorative box frame with the packs displayed side by side. Or how about sewing onto a gardening apron. The possibilities are endless. A design by Lesley Teare.
