Brrr…. it’s turned really cold up here on the Mendips. There have been frosts the last couple of nights and so my baby sweet peas have been returned to the greenhouse to await the arrival of milder conditions before I plant them out. It feels too as though a chill wind is blowing across the world of sewing and embroidery as I was very sorry to hear of the closure of UK publication Love Embroidery Magazine. I’ve been privileged to contribute to this beautiful magazine from time to time and it will be very much missed.
So, to cheer myself up, I have decided to hold a cheeky little Easter sale over in the Bustle & Sew Etsy shop where there’s 50% off everything …
When the Easter sale is over I’m planning to restock printed panels, including my Wheel of the Year, Twelve Days of Christmas and a new addition, Miss Arabella Leveret from the April Magazine, just in time for some summer stitching, and I’ll be sure to let you know when these are available to order.
April Magazine
As the countryside around Station House returns to life, I have found myself inspired by the beauty unfolding outside my windows. From delicate florals to soft, natural textures, the countryside offers so many ideas for projects that celebrate the season…
We are lucky enough to be able to watch the hares in the surrounding fields, and this, together with my enjoyment of the recent season of Bridgerton, inspired the Arabella Leveret project which I do hope you’ll enjoy stitching as much as I did.
Another favourite design is the patchwork journal cover – perfect for recording the growing season in my Kitchen Garden! Inside you’ll also find a feature on Indian block printed textiles, exploring their heritage, craftsmanship, and the timeless charm they bring to modern sewing projects. Alongside this, I take a nostalgic look at vintage feed sacks and include a selection of fresh, seasonal recipes to enjoy between projects.
