The New Stick and Stitch Patterns

You never know where inspiration will strike! These two new embroidery stick and stitch patterns packs were inspired by walks with my dogs. We (me and the dogs) see tons of animals walking around our suburban neighborhood. From birds to bunnies to bugs, it's a plethora of wildlife. Each morning walk brings a delightful new surprise as to what we'll see next.

These outings inspired me to design the forest critters pattern pack. Admittedly, I don't live in the forest, but there are quite a few tall trees and many many bunnies in my neighborhood. After seeing two bunnies playing together, I thought it would be fun to create a pattern pack that featured playful forest animals.

I'm also on a bit of a bird kick lately. I'm not sure why or what inspired this, but birds interest me as of late. After seeing many cute birds on my walks, I started wondering about all the odd and strange birds. You often see cute patterns featuring birds like robins, cardinals, and doves, but what about the pigeons, seagulls, and quail? Much like my unconventional flowers pattern pack that features flowering weeds, I decided these odd birds needed a little love too.
