OK, the sun has finally decided to show itself and it's time to take your hoops outside! I'm so pleased to be able to bring you this sweet Summer garden inspired project designed by Jenny Blair at Bloom and Sew, which would be perfect for some alfresco stitching. 

It's the first day of Spring and it's time to shake off all the dark and embrace all things bright and beautiful! Here's a free project to bring some fresh greens to your home. It involves a bit of applique with wool felt and embroidery with straight, chain and whipped back stitches. 

Do you fancy stitching along with me this Summer to make this embroidery sampler? Here you'll find our free pattern to stitch this botanical beauty.

One of the trickiest aspects of embroidery to start with is knowing how to transfer a design onto fabric. There are a number of ways to do it, depending on the type and colour of fabric you are using and the complexity of your design. We'll show you how.

We are so excited that designer Larissa Holland of MmmCrafts has released a wonderful new festive ornament series called 'Twas the Night'. The first design in the series is Santa Claus, complete with rosy cheeks and a Christmas stocking!
