Sometimes the Smallest Things Take Up the Most Room in Your Heart: A Pooh Hanging for Gifting
Hello, folks! This is Jennifer Ingle here with you today, and I am so excited to be sharing a super fun (and rather simple) stitching project using the Stitched Classic Pooh Collection. If you are a Winnie the Pooh die-hard, you may have recognized that quote in my title. It holds so much truth. Sometimes a small handmade gift can say so very much to your recipient. That is why I created this adorable hanging. I stitched two of the Pooh character to add to my hanging. You can see I chose to not add stuffing, but if you wanted to, you could totally make his belly a bit chubby…

Step by Step Tutorial: How To Create the Felt Berry Blossom
Hello! Jen Kotas here today with a step by step photo tutorial creating the Felt Berry Blossom. I’ll share die cutting the felt pieces, stitching and finishing them. Cut a small piece of wool felt for each of the dies in the Felt Berry Blossom Etched dies. I found I got a better cut using the shim included in the Universal Plate System. Keep all your die cuts in a Craft Stax Medium Tray so you don’t lose anything! Pick floss, then separate three strands to use at the same time. Separating the strands individually gives a fuller look and lays better. Place inner piece between the front and back…
