This little trio of mushrooms is a sweet, simple stitch for beginners or anyone who enjoys the calm of a small woodland project. The design has clean lines, soft shading, and plenty of room to play with colours if you fancy it. It’s a gentle, cheerful way to ease into thread painting.
This simple flower is a lovely first step into thread painting. The design is clean and calm, giving you space to play with colour blending without feeling overwhelmed. There’s a suggested palette to get you started, but you can easily make it your own. It’s a sweet little piece to gift or to tuck into your own collection.
This collection of thread-painting palettes grew out of my own early struggles with choosing and blending colours. I always wished I had a little reference guide to point me in the right direction, so I made one. Inside are 20 curated palettes (each with six DMC shades) that you can stitch into a sampler or simply keep as a digital reference guide for future projects.
This little fuzzy bee is a lovely way to add some texture to your stitching. It’s beginner-friendly and introduces turkey stitch, which gives the bee that soft, touchable fluff. It’s a simple, cheerful design - perfect if you’re in the mood to try something a bit different and enjoy a playful finish.
This hedgehog wreath is one of those pieces that feels a bit like stumbling across a tiny secret in the woods. Three little hedgehogs curl up among forget-me-nots, apples, and blossoms - soft, gentle details that are a joy to stitch and even nicer to sit with for a while. It’s a cosy, nature-loving design for anyone who enjoys letting their needle wander into whimsical places.
This enchanting flutterby is delicately hand-embroidered on bridal organza, featuring intricate thread painting and goldwork techniques. Accented with shimmering sequins and bordered by smooth purl wire, this piece brings fantasy to life. One of the first in my "Flutterby" series, it’s a unique and magical creation, perfect for collectors and dreamers alike.
