Fields and hedges wildflowers, with Faby Reilly
Take a walk across the fields and take in the beauty of one of the most humble flowers, the wild rose. Designer Faby Reilly is a true artist, placing a stitch at a time and making the flower come to life on the canvas. The wild rose comes in two formats, a needlebook and a scissor case, complete with scissor fob, so you can create a whole collection of stitcher's accessories.

The designer has just released two new patterns that, like her other work stand out as very personal designs and different from main stream cross stitching. The puzzle is the second in Tam's Creations' series of free style cross stitching puzzles where you get to decide where to place each piece, as you complete the jigsaw. You can also change the format as you please. Each stitched model is truly unique.
Sheep in patch is the latest release in the Patches animals series, we love its sturdy silhouette contrasting with the almost pyschedelic motifs.

Muriel Berceville has assembled an extraordinary collection of antique samplers. A dedicated stitcher, she has undertaken to rechart them all as reproduction samplers. The design below differs from the rest of the collection in that she has slightly adapted the cover of an existing 19th century sampler and converted it into a needlework wallet so that a modern stitcher can use the pattern as her own (English chart available). A handy organizer for all your needlework projects.

Embrace Art Nouveau style, needle in hand
Art Nouveau (French for New Art) flourished in the early 1900's, with new forms of art no longer limited to fine arts (such as painting) but covering a whole range of handcrafted materials such as ceramics and textiles. Kathy Bungard from Gracewood Stitches designs has long been interested in Art Nouveau themes, bringing us a beautiful range of patterns for cross stitching. The latest in the series is Wimsey, with intertwining flower stems and decorative borders in typical Art Nouveau style.

Forget earthly worries and get to meditate with this stunning Buddha pattern brought to you by Tam's creations. The stitching is pretty zen too because it only involves full cross stitches and you get to stitch each of the tiny figures that compose the model, one at a time.

Here comes a splendid lily, joining a gallery of flowers, some humble, some majestic, all coming to life in stitches under Faby Reilly's magic touch. With its outer curves and central hollow, the biscornu is an ideal shape for these flower themed cross stitch patterns.
