I love Autumn! The crisp sunny days, changing leaves in brilliant hues and all the little forest critters preparing for the coming colder weather. It has always seemed the perfect time for reflection and gratitude for the things we hold close to our hearts.
This Sampler celebrates the gifts of family and friends, for the support, comfort, and love they give in times of need and the joy they bring into our lives, and for our precious earth and the bounty it provides. Whether it is Thanksgiving time here in the US or any other time of year, let’s give thanks for all things great and small.
A Box of Flowers: It is hard to imagine anything more delightful than a box filled to the brim with colourful blooms as they are one of the areas I draw most of my inspiration from. I will be on the lookout for flowers to inspire the beautiful flower fabrics hues. Personally, for Joan, I can only hope for a new flower fairy! So many flowers pop to mind … Orchid, Daisies or even a collection of wildflowers. Exciting times and possibly one of the best box themes so far!

I am happy to have four new chartpacks ready next week. The Jewel Box is a delightful treasure stitched in gemstone colors and highlighted with sparkling Mill Hill beads and Kreinik threads. The Puppet Theater was inspired by a marionette craftsman that I met while traveling in Canada and is ready to delight with its whimsical characters and happy colors. Father Sun is now available in chartpack form. I’ve had so many requests for this it seemed the perfect time to let him shine in all his glory. Autumn Splendor, shimmering with rich colors of Mill Hill beads and Kreinik threads, is ready to stitch for autumn as leaves fall and seasons change. All of these designs will be available in your favorite online shops including 123stitch and Polstitches Designs .
Here we are already into the month of July. I do hope that all of you are safe and staying well during these difficult days. So far so good in our house, thank goodness.
I have two new chartpacks out this week. JE275 Petite Springtime Fairy and JE276 Arise. The Petite Springtime Fairy first appeared in Polstitches Designs Springtime Box. Jo Critchley is putting a special goodies filled box together for you every season. The boxes contain special fabrics, designs and threads that are always a surprise and absolutely delightful. Now that some time has passed since the first box release, I can offer this chart to everyone that missed the box sales. Please go to Polstitches Designs special offers to see more details on upcoming boxes.
JE275 Petite Springtime Fairy $12
Arise is a design I did some years ago and is out of print, but I have now re-charted it to make it available to everyone again. I thought it was fitting to put up a design that offered us some inspiration and a message of hope as we navigate through our changing world.
It has been brought to my attention that there is an error on the label for my chartpack JE162 Wisdom of the East. Please note that the correct stitch count is 169w X 225h and finished design size is 12w X 16h in (31w X 41h cm).
If you have ordered this chartpack in the past, the label probably has this error. The correct stitch count will be on the information page (last page) in your chartpack. Here is a picture of the corrected label. My apologies for any confusion. All JE162 chartpacks shipped as of today have the corrected label.
