Hail to the....Peep! Royal Peeps is a glorious explosion of color. Add to that a thread kit full of bamboo floss, silk floss, Vineyard silk, all kinds and colors of beads, Kreinik Metallics, Entice, more beads, silk ribbons, more beads, and a couple surprises (in both materials and techniques). It's a joy to stitch and a joy to look at. You may contact Bedecked and Bedazzled (410-296-0405) for the canvas, stitch guide, and threads (as stitched at the recent Royal Peeps Workshop) or have your local needlepoint store contact me for the stitch guide.

I’m so excited about this Stitch Plan as it has been in my queue for too long. Oodles of silks and metallics bring the birds and hills alive. The adorable dog is actually quite glam. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did putting it together.

Ohh. Emm. Gee. I love this bird. It was great fun to play with stitches and threads as it came together. Overdyed silks, beads, craft wire (!), a felt ball, more beads, and several metallics make this bird sing. Detailed instructions, including photos, are included for the mild stumpwork.

Bright colors. Flowers. Happy thoughts. What more can I say about a Zecca piece? This is particularly charming with lots of beads, a few ribbons, some elegant stitches and a fun open background.

It’s a bird lover’s dream. A flock of whimsical birds flitting around a dreamscape of lavender. The birds are outfitted in silks, metallics, ribbons, and a bevy of beads. The stitch plan includes a nice representation of full coverage stitches balanced out with some gorgeous open stitches. The leaves in the background may surprise you.

This canvas is filled with burst after burst of bright colors, representing summer. It's a wonderful and cheery piece that will make you smile. The ornaments on the tree are brought to life with beads, buttons, silks, metallics, and other three dimensional delights. This canvas is simply a joy.

Oh my. This adorable scene is so cute and is so much fun to stitch. Each animal’s unique personality comes through in the stitch plan, which includes both open and full coverage (yes, full coverage!) stitches. Three varieties of bead work plus ribbonry plus glitter (!) makes for one magical walk in the rain.
