Stitching Cards customer Ellen Teschler has sent us some pictures showing ways she has used our designs, other than as cards.
Lists of appropriate wedding anniversary gifts vary by country and the traditional list below is for the United Kingdom.
Stitching card enthusiast Ivy Crowhurst has sent me a picture of a cute card she made by combining the Stitching Cards Yorkshire terrier pattern with holly from the PinBroidery Happy Christmas pattern. To make it even more Christmassy she has added a Santa hat made from red and white felt. The words “Happy Christmas” are added with a gold peel-off sticker…

I have been reading about the scented thread recently announced by DMC. The range is called “Secret Perfume” and is the type of stranded embroidery cotton used in cross-stitch work. I have not tried the thread myself but it sounds like fun. I would be interested to hear the views of those who have tried it.
Just in case you think that I am sitting in the sunshine enjoying the beautiful spring weather that has been favouring the south of England for the past few days, I thought I had better let you know that I am busy working on some new stitching designs. This is a sneak preview of one of the patterns that I am designing for the Pinbroidery web site.
Since a new Baptism/Christening prick and stitch pattern has been released on the Stitching Cards web site, I thought it would be a good idea to offer some suggestions for words to go on your greetings card.
God bless your little bundle.
May your child always walk in the company of angels.
The Beer Glasses design from the Stitching Cards web site is proving very popular so I thought it would be a bit of fun to find a drinking song to go with it. You could add the words on an insert to your card.
The song “Beer, Beer, Beer” originated as a sea shanty on Royal Navy sailing ships. The sailors settled in various countries and versions of the song are sung in Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
In these culturally diverse times it is useful to know the dates that various peoples celebrate their official holidays and exchange greetings cards.
Humorous greetings cards are very popular as they help cheer up our lives and add a note of whimsy to our card giving. Have a bit of fun by suggesting a caption for this card and maybe win a Stitching Cards Value Pack of your choice.
