Hi everyone! I can’t believe it is already February! Where is the time going. We are definitely counting down the days until the wedding at this point. April can’t come soon enough! Today on the blog I wanted to share our new seasons greetings rounds.

I just love when I have the opportunity to help collaborate on a new kit design. Katie- the artist behind Burnett & Bradley- is so conscientious about painting a canvas to make sure that it is easy to stitch. We love to brainstorm and start thinking about how to bring the canvas to life- before she even starts painting.

In terms of design, I think these are my favorite rounds we have ever done. I love the color palate and the fun, festive sayings. I think Oh What Fun! might be my favorite. That santa hat is too cute!

We really wanted to paint something fun for New Years- since there are so few designs out there. The hot fix crystals really add something special to the Pop Fizz Cheers design!

The rounds can be purchased individually or as a group of four (for the best price!) 4 canvases, threads, stitch guides and a vinyl bag can be purchased for only $275. They also come with an online class that never expires!

I know you all will love stitching these Seasons Greetings Rounds every bit as much as I did!

You can shop them online here!

It seems like every day now we are opening up another box of customer finishing. I absolutely love watching customers come into the shop and see their handiwork completed! Everyone just lights up! It’s really the best time of the year.

I was so excited to get this ornament back yesterday. The canvas is by Pepperberry Designs. If you follow along regularly, you may remember when I was working on it earlier this year. I saw the canvas at the January show and knew that I had to stitch it. I ended up deciding to add the year we are getting married to the canvas. It was really easy to chart!

I ended up doing a Woven Trellis Stitch for the background and used Pepper Pot Silk #16- Tomato. This is one of my favorite threads to work with. It’s single strand and so easy to stitch with. One skein was more than enough to stitch the pair of them.

For the top of the mittens I decided on a Double Hungarian Stitch and used one strand of Fuzzy Stuff #FZ26. Between the two mittens I had quite a lot of area to cover, and didn’t particularly want to fill it with French Knots, since they are more labor intensive. I thought this provided a nice alternative and still gave a nice effect. This would also be a really great stitch for a larger Santa’s Beard!

If you’re looking for a canvas to give to a pair of newlyweds, this would be the perfect gift.

Hey everyone! Happy Cyber Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, surrounded by family and friends. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is now less than a month away. Definitely time to start shopping, if you haven’t already.

Today on the blog I wanted to share this adorable little ornament that my coworker Vicki and I stitched. So precious! This little train is going to make the perfect addition to our holiday wreath in the shop. As always, we typed up a stitch guide so you all can stitch one too. There are lots of fun tricks to learn- and this is the perfect opportunity to try your hand at ribbonwork if you never have before. If you don’t want to add the bow, you could always Satin Stitch it instead! I also love the way the beaded letters on “North Pole Express” stand up off the canvas. Plus- what could be cuter than that little bell?!

I always love to stitch in season- especially Christmas themed ornaments in December- even though I won’t have them finished and on the tree until the following year. If you purchase this North Pole Express ornament and want us to include the threads you will need, simply select “Pick our Favorites” when you add it to your cart, and in the comments section type “Kit to Stitch Guide.” Couldn’t be easier.

Order yours online here today! Your purchase automatically includes the guide. 

PS. Last day to enjoy free shipping on all orders on Needlepoint.Com!
