Hello, and a Spring welcome to our April '24 newsletter!

We have a little more to say this month! Many designers introduce new kits and patterns in the early part of the year in the big needlecraft shows like Nashville and Cologne.


Kits

Heritage Crafts have released two new Elegance ladies called Ailsa and Annabel by John Clayton, two lovely landscapes by Mel's Stitches, a set of beach huts in different colours by Karen Carter and a boy and a girl birth cards by Kirsten Roche.

Check them out in the online catalogue for 2024.

Forget Me Not - cross stitch kit by Riolissecond collection for 2024, released in time for the Cologne show has lots of cartoon designs with Pippi Longstocking, chickens, nesting birds, horse and tiger.

Patterns

Nora Corbett's latest designs are Cottage.
  • Another 'Chubby' for 2024 - Tudor Hound - by The Blue Flower
  • The Prairie Schooler's Little Robin, Shakespeare`s Peddler, Blackbird Designs.

    We are delighted to introduce a new (to us) designer Cross-N-Patch hardanger and flower designs by Emie Bishop and we thought they had all disappeared. However, we recently found someone with a limited stock of these stylish patterns so we've brought many of them back.

    There are some old favourites and some we haven't seen before. Sadly, stocks will be limited and they may not be repeated.


    And Finally

    It probably won't have escaped your notice that we're in the middle of the Easter holiday, a time to contemplate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth two millennia ago.

    Easter, like other religious festivals, has been secularised over the years and our title comes from the song by Irving Berlin that was popularised by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the 1948 movie Easter Parade.

    "In your Easter bonnet
    With all the frills upon it
    You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade"
    - Irving Berlin, US songwriter

    Whether you're praying or parading, stitching or singing we wish you a happy and untroubled Easter.
