    Jane Austen: a legendary woman now living again on fabrics

    5 January 2021 / No Comments

    She’s not simply one of the best-known English writers of all times: she’s an iconic, neo-classical author who, between 1700 and 1800, in her books anticipated the Romantic Movement and even some “feminist” themes that were going to characterize the middle and late 19th century.

    If you’re among the (numberless) fans of designers like Nora Corbett, you must be already quite skillful with beads. However, in Nora’s models beads are used to embellish cross stitch. But in Eastern European countries, there’s a centuries-old and very rooted bead embroidery tradition, where beads completely replace threads: it’s not by chance, for example, that some of the greatest manufacturers of these tiny “hobby companions” are located in the former Czechoslovakia. Moreover, there are a whole lot of bead embroidered traditional Virgin Mary icons that are truly brath-taking.  Certainly smaller, though not less precious, are the kits we decided to import directly from Emma’s Company – the Ukranian reference…

    Sampler of the Month: the new series from Country Cottage Needleworks 12 months, 12 patterns – one by one – starting from November 2020: it’s called “Sampler of the Month” and it’s the new Mystery SAL created by NIkki Leeman, founder and designer of Country Cottage Needleworks. A simple yet delightful style that the fans of this US brand will love and the “neophytes” too, thanks to its wonderful lines. The series includes 12 patterns, each with a stitch count of 45X125, that are NOT meant to be stitched together as a single sampler (and that’s why the author is not providing any info to do that). They are meant…

Selecting your punch needle might not be that simple, if you’re a beginner. In the instance of Amy Oxford punch needles, the numbers 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14 refer to the length of the needle (that’s not adjustable in these needles) and not…
