Birdwatchers' favorite
No doubt this pattern is already proving hugely popular among bird lovers. It comes in an original circular format. More seasons will follow soon. Start stitching now so you're ready for next!
K's Studio
Creative Poppy is proud to welcome K's Studio, very much inspired by nature and the seasons. Her motto is "another day, another stitch", each day bringing more poetic images she feels the urge to transpose into needlework, a stitch at a time.
This pattern is dedicated to an old friend, a very old cherry tree that grows in front of her window and when, year after year, a little miracle occurs and the venerable old branches suddenly burts into bloom.
Celebrating O-Hanami (cherry blossom viewing)
Every year the Japanese celebrate the blossoming of cherries trees, gathering with friends for picnics and parties until late into the night under the pink blossoms.
Huge festivals take place, with food stalls selling all kinds of food. There's even a special name for it: O-Hanami (the viewing of Cherry Blossoms). Even in large cities such as Tokyo, women will sometimes wear beautiful kimonos with elegant spring patterns.
You too can celebrate O-Hanami with these pretty designs stuffed with lots of interesting detail.
Spring in the garden
Stitch your own cute little garden so that spring comes into your house.
Portrait of a magnolia, by Faby Reilly
Faby Reilly captures the stunning blossom of the magnolia tree, branches bursting with spring sap, furry caps splitting open to reveal majestic petals. The branches are arranged in an elegant wreath, on a biscornu cushion which further emphasizes the curves of the petals.

Story telling, a stitch at a time
Time spent as a family, playing at the beach, working in the garden or busy preparing for Christmas brings back fond memories. Designer Agnès Delage-Calvet tells it in stitches, with beautiful detail and cheerful colors. She has just released two new patterns that complement her popular "Family Christmas".
Creative Poppy suggests: why not customize the hair and eye colors to match those of family members?
Also new, spot the wildlife among the flowers and the veggies in this colorful ABC. Easy to stitch and plenty of fun!
Birdsong in the air with Barbara Ana (or is it you humming along?) Here it is, the new "Chirpy since..." design by Barbara Ana. We would like to extend a big thank you to Angela whose suggestion was selected for the new design! Like the other patterns in the series, there's a little cartouche for you to fill in with your choice of date. Who will you have in mind? There's an extra bonus too with a cute little scissor fob matching the design.
