Accessories to cross stitch

 

Here's a fun and unusual project by Agnès Delage. It includes a pocket mirror with a fitted cover which you can customize with one of the patterns that have been designed to fit the cover, adding initials if you so wish. The companion accessory is a cute little pouch into which you can fit your phone. Both projects lend themselves to customization and make nice gifts.

Vintage French Ticking Fabric, revisited in cross stitch

 

Designer Kathy Bungard of Gracewood Stitches pursues her exploration of vintage fabric themes. We love her latest design inspired by antique bedlinen fabrics from Alsace. The beauty of this design is that it is continuous so it can be extended or cut, depending on your needlework project. It also works perfectly for needlepoint. We are sure it will inspire plenty of gorgeous ideas!

A mysterious encounter in a magical forest

 

Wild and beautiful, a fleeting encounter with the king of the forest, by designer Lesley Teare. The white deer seems hiding in the background observing us. A unique pattern in a colorful palette of pink, green and lavender.

Voyage around the world

 

Quite a feat. It's amazing how much information designer Maria Diaz has managed to cram into this unique nautical map of the world. Each of the continents' coast is exquisitely detailed. Furthermore the map is finely embellished, in the manner of ancient maps, with gentle mermaids and menacing sea monsters.

A beautiful and elegant piece that will have you travelling around the world, needle in hand.

The best little roadside inn since 1692!
