February Monthly Community News
This month, being the first month of The Embroidery Circle, I have been full of excitement, optimism and also nerves. Everything I do in my small business, I want to be the perfect mix of creativity, community and snippets of embroidery loveliness for all of my lovely customers and supporters.
This month, I have focused on creating the most beautiful kit, filled with love to mark the month of February. We all know that the world can feel a chaotic place so much unkindness, hurt and devastation being fed to us through social media and the news. It can be hard to remember that there is a lot of love and kindness around us and within our communities but also within ourselves that we can share with others and radiate outwards.
This sentiment lead to the design process behind 'Love Is All'... The beautiful wording, "What the world needs now, is love sweet love" rang over an over as I designed this special piece.
The circular wreath is made up of hearts, linked by green foliage. This represents the continuous flow of a circle with no beginning and no end, The hearts within the circle show a steady pattern with equal distance between them showing a repeated flow from one to the next.

March Monthly Community News
I was inspired to create a kit that celebrates the burst of colour that the spring season brings. All of a sudden the bare trees and empty flower beds are forgotten, as daffodils, tulips and crocus' decorate the ground which not long ago covered in ice.
Tulips are one of my favourite flowers. I love the pop of colour they bring to spring borders amongst daffodils and bluebells. My sister had beautiful tulips in her wedding flowers and as a family they remind us of such a wonderful time, being together and celebrating love and new union.
I couldn't think of a better design to add tulips into than a burst of florals. The colour palette is bright and earthy. I focused on creating delicate elements with some raised details to add contrast. Mixing colour threads has added depth and a fun element for you to try.

April Monthly Community News
Wow, April's kit is a labour of love! I just couldn't stop adding elements and texture. This is a great kit to push your skill set and learn along with me. So, what what the inspiration behind "A Country View"? For the month of ApriI I wanted you to experience a beautiful Countryside View, inspired by the patchwork fields in Wales.
As a family we holiday in the Welsh countryside a lot and I wanted to share the depth of the luscious green backdrop, surrounded by 3D spring flowers, which not only offers 3D visual but also challenges you with a new embroidery skillset; all supported by me.
This kit comes with an instruction booklet and in addition you have the opportunity to join the live tutorials on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th of April over on my Instagram page.
If you can't make the live, fear not, it will be uploaded to The Embroidery Circle in the members area and Youtube too!
