Scandinavian inspiration




Not able to squeeze in a visit to Scandinavia for some Stitchy inspiration? No worries Carina & I will take you there with our latest issue of &Stitches! (read on to find out where to get a discount code!)

See that adorable Polar Bear on the cover? That's made by Emily Wilmarth the creative talent behind The Flossbox. You will find the pattern in our Scandinavian Issue! It was a pleasure to work with Emily, she is a lovely friendly person! Putting together an original and uhm.. awesome zine like this is hard work (there's only the two of us) but it's also inspiring. With each issue I learn new things about embroidery (Hello Raised Herringbone Stitch!) and get to 'meet' (if only by mail) fabulous new people (like Emily). We hope that our enthusiasm for stitching shines through on the pages of our zine!



There is much to tell about this Scandinavian issue but I would only be repeating myself, so please check out my blogpost on the &Stitches blog to find out more. You will also find a discount code in the blogpost so you get 10% off the regular price (for the next two days only)!

  1. Wow, this looks gorgeous! I think I might have to finally invest in a copy.

    (PS I should probably introduce myself - it's Jessica from Country Bumpkin!)
