'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.

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. 

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.

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.

Histoire de Mouton, a sheep story by Tralala

Feeling down because of the rain? Here is a design by Tralala that is bound to cheer you up with its subdued colours and lovely motifs.

It's also a good opportunity to check our selection of sheep-related designs or the other animal-related designs that we stock!

Beautiful Linen, a shared passion

I don't know if you are like me but I love fabric, I love threads, I love lace and I love beautiful linen!

So when Madame La Fée released this new pattern a few weeks ago, she really made my day! I had to add it to my wish-to-stitch list. I love its vintage looks, its colours and its delicate borders. It makes me think of my grand-mother who was a linenkeeper.

This new pattern is avalaible through our A Stitcher Life collection, our Home & Other Rooms collection (see House & Home section) or the designer page. Just click the picture for details.

Let's have a lovely cup of tea!

With all this rain, we deserve something sweet and cheering!

Here is a new design by Passion Bonheur, called Salon de Thé (Tea Room) which exists in two versions: with the caption either in French or in English so you can choose what suits you best.

This new pattern is avalaible through our Cakes and Sweets collection, our Tea Time & Coffee Time collection or the designer page. You can also just click the pictures to open the product page for more details.

With Christmas around the corner...

... well, not yet but in "stitching time", we all know that there is no time to waste if we want to be ready for Christmas! 

So here is the latest Madame La Fée design, called Bientôt Noël, with both a modern and a traditional look (something that Madame La Fée is very good at!).

New also in our Christmas range, Passion Bonheur Joyeux Noël.

Summer in the French countryside

Bienvenue à la ferme! (Welcome to the farm!)  This is the name of a new design by Passion Bonheur, featuring her characteristic fresh and simple style. 

If you like red gingham fabric, do not miss our complete kit "Confitures", which will enable you to stitch a lovely cover for a notebook in which you can record you best recipes (even the notebook is included in the kit!).

Also worth more than a glance,  Madame la Fée "Cuisine de Famille" design which is a longstanding success. And if you just happen to love the colour RED, browse the Red Shades patterns in our "By Colour Shade" collection.

Maison de Charme the latest Madame La Fée design

Each new design by Madame La Fée is always eagerly awaited here in France. "Maison de Charme" (Elegant House) is another proof that "Lady Fairy" knows how to catch the spirit of the times.

As with all Madame La Fée designs, you can work the full project, which is always a rewarding challenge, and/or re-use the different patterns in a project of your own. For my part, I just love the bunch of peonies!

Jolies Pâtisseries Kit

Many of us are fond of cakes in general, and of cross-stitch cakes in particular! That is why at SoCreaStitch, we have a category of products dedicated to charts featuring Cakes and Sweets, so that you find them more easily.

Among them, the Malin Maline's series of Pretty Cakes stands in the foreground with its five matching designs: Cupcakes, Macaroons, Doughnuts, Religieuses and of course Jolies Pâtisseries (Pretty Cakes) which you can now purchase as a complete kit.

SoCreaStitch kit does not include the double cake stand hanger as some of you may prefer to frame their work in a more traditional way. But you can buy it separetely here, in our "Hangers" selection.

It's gardening time according to Passion Bonheur

Au Coeur du Jardin (At the Garden's Heart) is a brand new design just perfect to celebrate the come back of warmer days. With its delightful colours in the blue and rose shades  Passion Bonheur likes so much, it makes you want to take your needle and start a new project! 

If you like Passion Bonheur's fresh style, you may be tempted by her ABC with Flowers or her Charming Spring and Sunny Summer designs. All Passion Bonheur's patterns here.
