A Hint About Whimsical Stitch Five

Mary Waldsmith drops a hint on her latest blog stitch diagram posting about the book she's writing.

Will it be a book of feather/scale/leaf stitches?  Sure sounds like it.

Printed Canvases from Nicola Jarvis

I just noticed that Hillside Needle Arts carries printed designs based on Nicola Jarvis' embroidery. These are unusual and very lovely.  All seem to be printed on 14 count with Appleton crewel wool and some metallics included in the kit but not all designs are still available as kits.  Some are canvas only.  

More of Nicola's kits are available on her website but these are printed on fabric for embroidery.  Her new book is available for pre-order with delivery in January 2024.
