New: Critter & Clover BOM
Sue’s latest Block of the Month is here — a woodland whimsical adventure called: Critter & Clover. It is bursting with bunnies, hedgehogs, raccoons, birds, and more, each one stitched with sweet charm and beautiful detail. Participants create a woodland creature while learning a variety of fun and useful embroidery tips and techniques.
Starting this August, the first shipment will be sent out, allowing everyone to begin together. After that, your deliveries will follow the subscription plan you choose — monthly or quarterly. Packages are billed, prepped, and shipped around the 15th of each month.
The best way to participate is through registering online — it keeps everything organized and allows us to stay in touch with you and the group easily if we need to reach out.
Check out the cute trio - bunny, bird, and squirrel - stitched up by Marilyn! This sweet little scene is the first row of the project, and we love how it turned out. It's the perfect sneak peek to get you inspired!
If you don’t want to participate along with the BOM but have your own wool stash and make it on your own? The pattern is also up for pre-order, which will arrive next month.

New: Quilt Patterns
This retro-inspired pattern brings together bold strip piecing and clever construction for a striking, modern finish. Inspired by the look of classic knitted flowers, Knitted Blooms beautifully blends nostalgic vibes with fresh, contemporary style.
It’s also the sister pattern to Lo & Behold Stitchery’s fan-favourite Knitted Star Quilt Pattern — so if you loved that one, this is a natural next step!
And guess what? We’ve made it even easier to dive in: our shop-exclusive fat quarter bundle is perfectly curated to match the cover quilt. The pattern + the bundle = a seriously irresistible combo.

We heard you! That stunning quilt we shared last week on our social media had everyone buzzing — and now we can spill the details. It features Lollipops & Licorice, a playful and dynamic pattern by Krista Moser of The Quilted Life, paired beautifully with Jen Kingwell’s Bag of Lollies fabric = A total showstopper!
We’re thrilled to share that both the pattern and fabric kits will be available at Quilt Canada next week! And to make the process even smoother, we’ll also have the Creative Grids 60° Mini Diamond Ruler by Krista Moser on hand — the perfect tool to guide your cuts with precision.

It’s a perfect blend of sewing and hand embroidery for a slow-stitching weekend or thoughtful gift project.
Hand Piecing Template by Jen Kingwell
We’re loving Lesley’s hand-pieced hexagons - stitched together so beautifully! She used one of Jen Kingwell’s Postcard Projects (#6 - 1” Hexagon), a sweet little pattern that comes on a postcard with simple instructions and a handy template.
It’s the perfect starter for a big or small project - and we can’t wait to see what Lesley creates with hers!
If you’re heading to Quilt Canada - get ready! You’ll be among the first to see all this goodness and so much more in person. We’ve been busy behind the scenes, and we cannot wait to finally share what we’ve been working on over the past month!
