Hey, everyone! I’m coming at you LIVE from Nashville, TN, where I’m embracing the madness at the 2025 Needlework Market! I’ve been busy like a little shopping bee since early this morning, exploring a huge sea of cool new products including the latest designs, gadgets, and newfangled tools from a whole slew of needlework designers and suppliers. It’s truly a stitcher’s candy shop!
Speaking of busy bees and other bugs, I was taking a quick break from my shopping spree to grab some lunch and check my email when I learned some awesome news! Have you been trying to get your hands on my recent project release, Nordic Wings, but it keeps coming up as sold out? Good news! Nordic Wings patterns and kits are now BACK IN STOCK and available to purchase on our website by clicking the button below!
Nordic Wings is a wool appliqué project done using our Primitive Gatherings hand dyed wools on a beautiful cream colored flannel background. This insect-inspired work of art features a large dragonfly with its wings proudly stretched out on display in all their glory. Cool blues and grays combined with soft creams create a peaceful, calming vibe that even the biggest entomophobe will appreciate. I did my version of Nordic Wings as a pillow, but this versatile project could also be turned into a a wall hanging, tote bag, or even a quilt. The sky’s the limit – especially with a set of wings like these!
I wasn’t entirely sure how a project featuring a dragonfly would turn out, but boy am I happy with the results! I don’t know about you, but she has to be the prettiest little bug I’ve ever seen… Wings down! Could this be the unexpected beginning of an ongoing series…??? I guess time will tell!
Well, gang. Lunch is over and I still have a couple of hours of shopping left to do before I can hang it up for the day. I’ll be back on WI soil next week, so be sure to join me on Thursday for my LIVE show where I’ll be talking about my trip and all the exciting things I found for the shop this year! I can’t wait… P.S. REMINDER: Due to my travels, the March “Weekend Edition Series” quilt will be released next Friday, March 14th. See you soon! ~Lisa
