"So Sweet", the well-named, gorgeous design by Madame La Fée

Madame La Fée design So SweetFor me, one of the most pleasant things at the beginning of a new year is certainly to pick out which large pattern I will work and try to complete by the end of the year. It is not always easy to make a choice, but what an enjoyable process! Though I must confess that, this year, it was a no-brainer : I just find the lovely colour scheme of this pattern by Madame La Fée 'so sweet'. This is certainly a work that will be "Made with Love". Happy New Year to you all!

'Bienvenue Chez Nous' by Madame La Fée

Looking for an elegant, romantic yet modern design to offer or to adorn your home? Don't look any further! Madame La Fée has released another of her treasures: Bienvenue Chez Nous (Welcome to our Place). With its winter shades warmed up by vibrant reds and pinks, it truly evokes a cosy, friendly home. We just love the pretty stripe that imitates patchwork as well as the gorgeous basket of flowers.

Stitching while waiting for Christmas

 It happens each and every year: there is either a particular Christmas pattern that we've promised ourselves to finish by THIS Christmas, or a new one that we feel compelled to begin (or at least to add to our to-be-stitched-one-day-treasures).

Well,  don't wait till Christmas to indulge yourself! Browse our Christmas selection and find the perfect design. Many new designs hit our shelves recently, including this joyful Joyeux Noël à la Neige (Merry Christmas under the Snow) by Passion Bonheur.

New kit! Coeur Flocon (Snowflake Heart) by Alice & Co

After the Indian summer we enjoyed here in France and in some parts of England, Autumn and its rich colours are settling in. Will the winter be mild? Will we see snow this year? If you're fond of patterns that evoke mountains and/or snowy evenings by the fire, you should check our selection of Alice & Co designs, particularly her Heart Collections (Coeurs Rouges, Coeur Flocon, etc.). 

We love them because they are traditional and quite modern at the same time and so easy to stitch. This week, we propose one of them as a kit with the very same fabric used by Alice & Co when she designed the pattern. We just love the stunning outcome on this original linen fabric. This Snowflake Heart Kit is available here. 

Rose Jelly and Violet Jelly by Le Lin d'Isabelle

Here are two sweet designs by Le Lin d'Isabelle: this lovely Confit de Rose (Rose Jelly) and its sister chart Confit de Violette (Violet Jelly)

Both designs are in fact the recipe (only in French I'm afraid!) of home-made jelly with petals of rose and violet. You can either stitch the whole design with the text of the recipe or only the drawing part with the pot (approx. 15 x 13 cm). It will look so lovely framed to decorate the kitchen or appliquéd on the cover of a recipe book.
