Christmas, scandinavian style
Each designer has a special way of celebrating Christmas. We love the way Lesley Teare pays tribute to the joyful season in her very own special way: in white and gold, with white deer dancing under an ornate tree, squirrels running in its bare limbs and a pair of doves carrying a message of peace.

Portrait of a Woodpecker, by Lesley Teare
While you may know Lesley Teare for her Cross stitch and Blackwork designs, she is also an expert birdwatcher - and it shows when she tackles the complex work of creating a portrait of a woodpecker, more often heard than seen, as it hammers a half rotten tree trunk, searching for food by chasing out surprised insects. Seen in profile, this is a wonderful portrait mixing cross stitch and a tiny touch of Blackwork.

Tiny yet stylish William Morris style mini motifs
It's amazing how much Lesley Teare manages to incorporate into such tiny motifs. The expert designer has already tackled much larger design inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, but these tiny ones, involving full cross stitch only are proof of her talent.
A refined alphabet, inspired by blue and white Delft pottery
A wonderful idea brought to you by Lesley Teare with a cross stitch alphabet replicating the delicate blue and white hues of Delft pottery. Each letter is a treasure of refinement, with tiny motifs of peacocks and flowers fitted within.
