In the June issue of The Cross Stitcher Magazine look for my new Spring Garden Fairy Bookmark design. Quick to stitch up, this design features a lovely garden fairy and her blue forget-me-not flowers for your favorite book for summer reading. A joy to stitch with light, spring colors.

I am a collector of bits and things that spark my imagination. In the Fall, I look for the small things from nature that might be of use later in a craft project to be worked on a winter’s day. Often on my walks, I will look for small items such as acorn caps. My lucky find [...]

I have picked many of the colors that I want for my new cross stitch sampler, but I am having second (and third) thoughts about the fabric. I have plotted all the necessary stitches and colors into my stitch program so at least the framework has been done. It doesn’t help, really, that colors on [...]
