Handpainted Tapestry Designs

As readers of this blog and visitors to Victoria House Needlecraft would know, I am passionate about Australian Designers and their work.  Whether it celebrates Australian culture, flora or fauna or not is irrelevant.  Great designers need publicity and support.

We are extremely excited to have 2 canvases from Nicola Thomson.  She is an artist and hand paints canvases to order as well as creating from her own whim and inspiration.  Some designs may reappear, but none is ever exactly the same because they are handpainted.  Her website, Material Assets, showcases her work.  Here are the 2 we currently have instore.

Good things DO come in small packages

Dionne    Cross Stitch, Embroidery and Crewel, Tapestry and Needlepoint, What's New     mill hill, roseworks embroidery, twill designs

Have just expanded our range of Roseworks Designs Embroidery range to include the too gorgeous mini Jacobean flowers; Minuet, Pavane, Prelude and Sonata.  Love them so much I have decided that mini-projects do deserve their own category online.  Just a little something to do, when you are not looking for a big project.  They have joined our Twill Designs which are needlepoint and mini Mill Hill kits in cross stitch with beading embellishment. 

…. Hmmm …. now I just need a couple of mini projects in knitting and crochet and I have covered all our bases.  Watch this space.

Blossoms in Bloom: Twill Designs

There are so many reasons to love these new needlepoint kits from Twill Designs.  They have everything you need to complete the design in a nifty little resealable pack.  This makes them a great quick project to take away on holidays, they are perfect for teaching needlepoint to a new stitcher and they have a fresh bright colour range, unlike anything else on the market today.  They are also Australian made and designed.

Blossoms in Bloom has been one of the more popular designs at Victoria House Needlecraft.

Totally loving the new Exotics from Elizabeth Bradley

Twill Designs are a new needlepoint range from a Sydney designer.  The all inclusive kits have everything you need to complete your design in a little ziplock pouch, … no more loosing your needle and all for just $29.95.

Butterflies in Flight Afternoon Delight

Very transportable, a great holiday project and just the thing to introduce children to stitching.  We have recently increased our range and included Butterflies in Flight Afternoon Delight when we did our inevitible Audrey top up.  The other design that has been popular is Blossoms in Bloom. 

Funny, Maria said that at the Stitches and Craft shows The Bag Lady was far and away the most popular.  Guess there is something for every customer in this range.

Check out her other designs online today.  Great Christmas present idea for a new stitcher.
