Welcome to This Months Newsletter!

Kit of the Month

The kit of the month special for February is the Blackwork Peacock Kit reduced by $7.00 Canadian Dollars.

The Blackwork Peacock is worked on 32 count even weave Monika fabric or Belfast linen fabric working straight or diagonal stitches over one, two or four threads of the fabric following step by step diagrams of the pattern. A combination of embroidery cotton, perle cotton and metallic threads are used to work the embroidery.

There are no worries about working the embroidery two-sided. Instead the design will get a dimensional effect by changing a pattern by adding or reducing stitches or changing the thickness of the thread and introducing coloured metallic threads to bring vibrancy to the Peacock.

The instructions for my kits are detailed with lots of instructions and diagrams and are written with the beginner in mind....I am offering free correspondence in case there are any questions you need answering as you are working the embroidery and free ongoing critique where you can email me pictures of the embroidery as you are working it and I will email you constructive comments.
