Good morning, everyone! Hope you are enjoying the festive season! 

This is the last post of this year and I decided to make it special. So here's the announcement of a new stitch along that starts on January 12^th! We're going to embroider a lovely rose by the name Cecelia. Read till the end for the details!

Fellow stitchers, confess! Is there anything you started collecting after falling in love with this craft? Cute bobbins? Scissors? Thread? Well, I guess collecting thread is a common habit. But as for the “accessories”... personally, I'm becoming more and more of a pincushion lover.

The funny thing is that I don't even have that many needles or pins to store in the pincushions. More like, I just like the process of making them, you know? And when I have these pretties at my workplace, it just creates that kind of cozy atmosphere! So, today we are going to learn to make one of such pincushions which goes by the name “Biscornu”.

Apart from framing your embroidery results, there are a plethora of other ways to utilize it. Some of such options include making ornaments, stuffed toys, hand-constructed garments and accessories like pouches and so on. But all of these projects are united by one requirement: being able to use the hidden seam to stitch close the openings. And today we will learn how to work this stitch!

Hi! How are you feeling? Hope this season is going easy on you and you're able to find time and place to relax and enjoy some simple things. As one of the ways to treat yourself, I'm going to suggest some winter-inspired stitching!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today I'm going to stick to the tradition and bring the monthly wrap-ups back here on StitchFloral. Usually it includes only one month of activities here, but this time, I'm going to include July as well, since the blog went on hiatus after that.
