Cottage Garden Threads and the Autumn Garden Palette

15/9/2022

0 Comments

 
It is always very exciting and a little bit scary to bring in a new line of hand-dyed threads. The first question we are often ask is what pattern calls them? Which sets everyone into a mad dash to recall just which patterns they are used in. Followed shortly by how do they stitch? 

When we saw that TopKnot Stitcher was collaborating  with 25+ designers, using a curated collection of the Cottage Garden Threads we know it was time to bring in a small selection of their threads. 

Join us in creating a cube using six different designers patterns and the Autumn Garden Palette thread kit! On this journey we will share tips and tricks on assembling a cube, working with variegated threads and push our comfort zones by stitching on a variety of fall inspired coloured fabrics. 
There is a small oops in the video, I meant to say 10 threads or 5 stitches. It is also worth mentioning that not all patterns work 60 x 60 stitches squared, should that be the case for your pattern and cube we will be place the uneven side to the left.

As mentioned in the video we will be exploring these threads and patterns on 32 count Wichelt Linen, working 2 strands of floss over 2 fabric threads. We have pulled a collection of 7 fall colour inspired linen to work on: three neutrals to showcase the variations in the floss and four coloured linen to push our comfort zones while complimenting the threads. 

Fabric Colours
Tumbleweed
Sandstone
Halloween
White Chocolate
Riviera Olive
Laurel 
Lambswool

You are probably wondering why seven and not just the six need to complete the cube? Well it was very hard to narrow down to just those seven. However we wanted to everyone to have a little play to work with the patterns currently in stock as well as the ones that are still set to arrive. 

We hope that you will join us in welcoming the Cottage Garden Thread to our store and follow along with our stitching progress. Happy Stitching, Kim and Meagan!

16/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Was it not  yesterday that it was the middle of March? Even the weather we have been having is reminiscent of early March.  I have no idea how it become mid April all of a sudden and I'm so late at publishing the specials!!

So because of how late into April I am publishing the specials, we have decided that for the months of April and May we run both months' special together. 

April and May's Specials of the Month

Framing - Free In stock fillets on any new order placed in the months of April and May. This includes all wood and fabric fillets. On mats or in frame. Fillets are a creative way to bring detail or a pop of glitter to your favourite frame.

Stitching/Embroidery - 25% off all in stock Scissors and Needles!!! Great time create a stash of your favourite needles, try a different brand/size/style.

In more news...

The end of March and the beginning of Aprils has been full of new products, and patterns. Over the last couple weeks we have receiving lots of orders with more on the way!!! More new patterns expected in within the next week or so (if our weather cooperates, let's cross fingers.) We are also expecting new Hazel Blomkamp books, kits and Patterns!!!!

Featured Product

Every once in awhile we will order in an vial of Turkish Emery to stock the store. However on our last order we brought in a project kit "The Rococo Strawberry Emery Kit." This kit comes with everything you need to make your own strawberry  emery cushion.

  • 100% Cotton Twill Linning Fabric

Emery is a great way to keep your needles looking fresh and helps to sharpen a dull point.
