It's June again which means summer for northerners and winter for southerners. Those of you in the tropics will just have to (as the song says) «put your Scotch and Rye down, and lie down!»
Whatever the season, you're welcome to our June '24 newsletter.
This month we're featuring brand new and re-released charts from Mirabilia (Nora Corbett), Bella Filipina, Cottage Garden Samplings and Blackbird Designs.
We've also got some new kits from Anchor (who are making a bit of a comeback after being in the doldrums for a while) and Lanarte.
Let's start with charts ...
The latest Mirabilia design charts.
Also by Nora are two new designs from a new series an updated catalogue. Please have a look at them and let us know if you like one. We can get them quickly and at our discounted price too!
Some Blackbird designs have Cordelia awaiting the beads for her embellishment pack for some time. This design proved to be quite popular and stocked out quickly. We'll be restocking when 'Drin releases his next design (perhaps in mid-June).
Bella Filipina have raised their chart prices which means that, together with increases in shipping costs from the Philippines, we have had to increase the prices of the most recently delivered patterns.
The sixth in the Fabulous House series by Cottage Garden Samplings is the stylised peacock design for a pin cushion.
And flit to the kits ...
There are two new Phoenix Thoughts and she joins Lanarte's collection of freestyle embroidery in white and natural by Anchor.
If you're thinking of branching out and you're looking for ideas for freestyle embroidery then there are lots in symbol of rebirth in the ancient world.
The myth had it that towards the end of its long life the phoenix built a nest, set it on fire and was consumed in the flames only to be immediately reborn. A myth that rather suited the rulers of Egypt.
Our title is from a poem about rebirth ...
«If any God should say,
"I will restore
The world her yesterday
Whole as before
My Judgment blasted it" - who would not lift
Heart, eye, and hand in passion o'er the gift?» from Rebirth by Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936, English Writer and Nobel Laureate
The present sometimes seems like an inhospitable place so it's only natural that we should want to revert to earlier times when we all seemed ... freer and happier. Perhaps it will happen, perhaps not, but as we ordinary mortals can do nothing about it, it's as well to stick to what we know and make the best of what we have.
We hope you enjoy your June stitching whether it's summer or winter where you are.
