Developing Pulledwork Stitches
A 16 page Masterclass special which guides you through this magnificent Pulledwork design.
Many of you will already be acqainted with Pulled work, a lovely form of counted thread embroidery where the stitching thread is used to pull the weave of the fabric to create patterns. The patterns made with the weave are, of course, as important and often more important than the stitches themselves and it matters a great deal that they should work well together. It is for this reason that the stitches are usually worked in a colour to match the fabric. Sometimes, in fact, the stitches hardly show at all, but the effect they have made is wonderful.

The Height
of Winter Part 3
Winter is regarded as a dormant month by most people but gardeners and walkers know that even throughout the coldest months, nature can still keep going. Topped with a majestic bulrush with ivy at its feet, the design features a host of hardy winter flora which are always a welcome sight during the darker days of the year.

Playtime Nostalgia
This wonderful 1930's home may look a little familiar, especially if you were lucky enough to have one of these doll's houses to play with. This is a design of the luxury model with double fronts and garage made by Lines Brothers Ltd until 1960. An ideal project for doll's house fans, stitch a piece of childhood nostalgia for your home today.

Winter Woods
A crisp winter's day can be just as magical as the hottest day in summer. This design captures all the peaceful stillness of a snow laden landscape. Complete with cosy cottages on the water's edge, this scene would be the ideal retreat and an oasis of calm in a hectic world. Relax, stitch and dream of a perfect winter wonderland

Teatime Blossom
Create a wonderful Hardanger panel in dusty pink to decorate tables, dressers and shelves. Favourite filling stitches are used for the intricate central panel that will delight anyone who adores Hardanger embroidery. This design would also look fabulous in any shade of matching fabric and thread including traditional white.

Floral Arrangement
These designs show perfectly how very different looks can be created from one basic shape. By changing the shades of fabric and thread, the Blackwork patterns can look lacy when stitched in white on blue or have a classic Elizabethan air when worked in traditional black on white. They are extremely versatile producing either a circular or square design. Experiment with your own combinations for a unique addition to your home.
