I’m always looking for experimental ideas and new materials, so I was delighted to find this black felt with pre-drilled holes for your cross-stitching pleasure. Actually, it may have been around for a while which means you are in SO much trouble for not letting me know! ANYWAY, in the never-ending quest to find novel ideas to keep your mind occupied, I came up with this 3D kit! You’ve probably already seen our postcards with this design—if not, there will be one in your order! What to do with this once you’re done? I’m experimenting with making a hanging sign and also a decorative pillow. Stay tuned and please share whatever you come up with!

New Needle Minders for your collection


I love that so many people collect needle minders and feel like I should offer a banner to display them all on. Send me any ideas you have—my email is at the end of this newsletter. I’ve joined your obsession, obviously! Really happy we have a friend who can turn any pin into a magnetized back, the sky’s the limit!
I don’t know about you, but I need to get out there and run around in nature for a minute to chase the chaos out of my mind. Then I’ll be right back to stitch something up for next week. I leave you with this:
And if you’d like to stitch that one, here it is!
