In this video I share a new slow stitch project for 2026 that I will be running as a stitch along which anyone can participate in. We’ll be stitching a hexagon work mat for your studio or craft room desk featuring vintage embroideries and fabrics. I’ll be sharing vintage embroidery transfer designs from my collection and lots of inspiration to include in your own work mat.

Like many Australians and people around the world I’ve been devastated by seeing what occurred in Bondi a few days ago. I wanted to stitch a bumble bee in memory and honour of Matilda Bee & all those who have been impacted. I’ll share my little bumble bee design in a photo in case you want to stitch your own bumble bee. You can share some reflective stitching time with me in the video below:

So excited to be taking part in Sally’s ​⁠‪@DottyBeeVintage‬ Christmas advent stitch along. My version is bunting with each piece of bunting a present shape that opens up to reveal the prompts. Lots of fun using fabric and vintage doily scraps to collage backgrounds for the prompts:
