Tilda Bon Voyage: looking forward to Summer!
“Our heart goes out to all of you in this challenging time. Especially to those who are experiencing the worst sides of this virus… This virus affects us all in some way, but at Tilda Fabrics we are continuing to deliver and work from home. So are our partners. I did not anticipate when designing this collection and deciding on a name a year ago that we would not be able to travel as it is released. When the collection was shipped out to our customers we had no idea the whole world would be turned upside down a few weeks later. Wish you all the best from a house…
#andràtuttobene #itwillbeallright
In these weeks, staying at home is the crucial contribution we all can – and must – give our countries, as well as to each other, to leave this emergency behind as quick as possible. That’s why last week we posted our message with the double hashtag #Istayhome with #casacenina . Now, we’d like to take a step further: w’d like to invite you to post on our socials – FaceBook, Instagram and TikTok – a picture of the crafty project you’re working on, maybe with more than than usual, since you must stay home, with the hashtag #itwillbeallright You can stitch this hashtag, or sew it, draw ir on…
#Istayhome with #casacenina
Dear friends of Casa Cenina, in Italy – as well as in some other EU countries, by now – we’re facing all together an emergency calling for the individual effort of the all of us, by staying home and thus avoiding to spread the Coronavirus even wider. Therefore, why don’t we take the chance to really stay home in these weeks and dedicate ourselves to our favorite hobbies? That’s the right way to keep smiling and, most of all, to make sure this terrible time is going to become just a distant memory as soon as possible. That’s why we have called this message with the hashtag #Istayhome with #casacenina.…
March 20th and 21st are special!
Spring comes anyway! Even in times far from being serene, let’s honor the new season and that sense of happiness that we can find also the smallest things, as well as in staying home, even though “necessarily”! We simply don’t want to forget it, here at Casa Cenina: March 20th, 2020, is the International Day of Happiness… and though it’s maybe hard to be happy in such a time of worries in the whole world. It’s certainly not impossible: for it’s also in difficult times that we become better when it comes to find also the littlest reason to be happy. Those reasons that we often can’t note in normal days.…
Two classics renewed (but not too much), in the perfect Parolin’s style!
Here are the new collections 25 and 26. We have been waiting since the days of his much loved “Alfabetario”: Renato has somehow “kept us hanging” . We’ve been waiting for the chance of stitching again some lovely letters, embellished with delicate flowers, leaves and berries. However, that was definitely worth the wait: it’s the brand new collection 25/2020 “Flowery Letters“, a complete alphabet made of elegant capital letters, all surrounded by petals, buds and wild berries, perfect to stitch in a single, large and breathtaking panel, or on a throw to leave on our sofa in the living room; as well a to stitch individually, in the form of…

Please, don’t call them just “adhesive tape”!
Washi Tapes are here A low-cost – though with an amazingly high potential in terms of creativeness – solution for any crafting: that’s how the essence of “washi tapes” can be summed up. We have selected a number of them, directly in the USA, even though they originally come from Japan: the country where the care of the smallest detail in any project is a must! And, in fact, the word “Washi” is composed by the Japanese “wa”, standing for “Japanese”, and “shi”, meaning “paper”. So, “Japanese Paper” and handmade – as it has always been in the tradition of the “Country of the Rising Sun” – with fibers obtained…
Color your needlework new
The latest “capsule collection” from Zweigart They invented the “aida” – the most used cross stitch fabric – about 150 years ago and they have kept on researching and developing ever since, marketing worldwide the hundreds of different embroidery weaves, including the linens used by the most famous, modern hand-dying brands, like Weeks Dye Works, just to mention one. Zweigart innovation never stops, both in terms of fibers, and in terms of colors, with several new products every year. Their year 2020 opens with a capsule collection widening the color range of aida, linen and lugana evenweave. In the instance of the aida, there are two new versions – a…
Happy Campers Tilda: the new collection is here!
A celebration of Spring, already in January. Its name is “Happy Campers/Spring 2020” and it’s the new Tilda collection, opening the New Year and definitely anticipating the warm, next season, both in its color shades and in its patterns 🙂 Small, very detailed flowers and little, lovely bees happily swirling among their petals represent the leitmotiv of these new pure cotton fabrics, together with a whole lot of gingham and polka dots nicely mixed together by the Norwegian designer, in her unmistakable style. All patterns seem to re-echo some cheerful days in the open air, with oilcloths on the camping tables! And the connection to camping and to the iconic…
People in love, either with a partner or singles, it’s time to celebrate!
Tradition has taught us that Valentine’s Day – on February 14th – is the day of the people in love… but we can also be in love, without being in a relationship with a partner: and that’s probably why in Italy, for some years, we’ve started celebrating also singles and on the very day after: February 15th! So, here we are with a double opportunity to treat ourselves with some little gift and… discounted, of course. And what if you’r not in love? No problem at all, for at Casa Cenina, we’re going to prolong the above-mentioned double opportunity for three days! From Friday, February 14th, to Sunday, February 16th,…
