News & Notes

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have been absolutely wallowing in stitching over the holidays, and it's been such fun. And yes, it's model stitching in preparation for market, but all stitching is still good, right? Plus I've been able to spend some time designing which has felt wonderful after the hustle of December.

And in a lovely end to 2025, thank you to all of you who purchased Christmas Cheetahs! You raised just under $2,400 for the Animal Ark, our local animal rescue and rehabilitation facility.

 

I have a few new website updates to report, including the November releases which are now available...

Yes, I want to see those!

I've also caught up getting some older free patterns added to the website.

Show me those free designs!

One more quick website update

If you purchased the Winter Moth pattern at the Jingle Ball, I've restocked the lovely Gloriana thread packs for this design and they are on the website.

 

I'm so excited for 2026 and I have some great events on the calendar this year. I'll be at the Sampler Guild of the Rockies in February, at Barefoot Needle Art in April, at Acorns & Threads in September and at the Silver Needle in October! And I'll be attending some online events as well this year so I'm hoping to connect with you in person or virtually very soon.

Of course, you can always join me on Flosstube for my rambling about stitching and dogs and anything else that springs to mind.

So as we start the new year I want to take time to thank you all for sharing with me in 2025 - your time, your creativity, your stitching and your amazing selves! You make it a pleasure to do this work and be part of the community and I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

I wish you all the very best for this new year.

Happy Stitching!

Jeannine
